Practical information
12 V battery
The presence of this label indicates the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery withspecial technology and specification, for which the involvement of a CITROËNdealer or qualified workshop is requiredwhen replacing or disconnecting the battery.
Failure to observe this recommendation may cause premature wear of the battery.The battery is located under the bonnet.
To
gain access to it: ) open the bonnet using the interior releaselever, then the exterior safety catch, )
remove the plastic cover on the (+)
terminal
, ) if necessary, unclip the fusebox to remove
the battery.
Access to the battery
) Raise the locking tab D
fully to release thecable terminal clamp E.
Reconnecting the (+) cable
)
Position the open clamp E
of the cable on
the positive post (+) of the battery. ) Press ver tically on the clamp E
to position
it correctly on the battery. ) Lock the clamp by spreading thepositioning lug and then lowering the tab D.
Do not apply excessive force on the tab as locking will not be possible if the clamp is not positioned correctly; star tthe procedure again.
Before doing any work on your vehicle,

our vehicle is fitted with a conventional 12 V
battery, located under the bonnet, in addition
to the hi
gh voltage battery used by the hybridsystem.
In cer tain conditions, if the 12 V battery is
too discharged to activate the hybrid system,
recharging from another conventional 12 V battery is possible.
Do not carry out this recharge if the Readylamp is on.
Procedure
