12 V battery
The battery is located under the  bonnet.
For   access   to   the   (+)   terminal:
F
 
r
elease   the   bonnet   using   the   interior   lever,  
t

hen   the   exterior   safety   catch,
F
 
r

F

l
ift the plastic cover for access to
the (+) terminal.
Access to the batteryProcedure for starting the engine  u sing   another  b
attery   or   charging   a   discharged   battery.
The presence of this label, in particular
with
  the   Stop   &   Start   system,   indicates
 t

he   use   of   a   12 V   lead-acid   battery   with
 s

pecial
 t
echnology
 a
nd
 s
pecification;
 t

he   involvement   of   a   CITROËN   dealer   or
 a

  qualified   workshop   is   essential   when
 r

eplacing   or   disconnecting   the   battery.After
  refitting   the   battery,   the   Stop   &  
S

tart   system   will   only   be   active   after   a  
c

ontinuous   period   of   immobilisation   of  
t

he   vehicle,   a   period   which   depends  
o

n the   climatic   conditions   and   the  
s

tate of   charge   of   the   battery   (up   to  
a

bout   8 hours).
Practical information

253
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the engine   can   be   started   using   a   slave   battery  
(

external   or   on   another   vehicle)   and   jump   lead  
c

ables.
Starting using another
battery
First check that the slave battery has a n ominal   voltage   of   12   V   and   a   capacity  
a

t   least   equal   to   that   of   the   discharged  
b

attery.
Do
  not   try   to   start   the   engine   by  
c

onnecting   a   battery   charger.
Do
  not   disconnect   the   (+)   terminal   when  
t

he   engine   is   running. F
 
S
tart   the   engine   of   the   vehicle   with   the  
g

ood   battery   and   leave   it   running   for   a   few  
m

inutes.
F  
O
perate   the   starter   on   the   broken   down  
v

ehicle   and   let   the   engine   run. I

witch   off   the   ignition   and   wait   a   few  
m

oments   before   trying   again.
Before disconnecting the battery
Wait 2 minutes after switching off the ignition before   disconnecting   the   battery.

Practical information

254
Protect your eyes and face before handling   the   battery.
All
  operations   on   the   battery   must   be  
c

arried   out   in   a   well   ventilated   area   and  
a

way   from   naked   flames   and   sources  
o

f   sparks,   so   as   to   avoid   the   risk   of  
e

xplosion   or   fire.
Do
  not   try   to   charge   a   frozen   battery;  
t

he   battery   must   first   be   thawed   out   to  
a

void   the   risk   of   explosion.   If   the   battery  
h

as   been   frozen,   before   charging   have  
i

t   checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified   workshop   who   will   check   that  
t

he   internal   components   have   not   been  
d

amaged   and   the   casing   is   not   cracked,  
w

hich   could   cause   a   leak   of   toxic   and  
c

orrosive   acid.
Do
  not   reverse   the   polarity   and   use   only  
a

  12   V   charger.
Do
  not   disconnect   the   terminals   while  
t

he   engine   is   running.
Do
  not   charge   the   batteries   without  
d

isconnecting   the   terminals   first.
Wash
  your   hands   after wards.do n ot push the vehicle to start the
engine   if   you   have   an   electronic   or  
a

utomatic   gearbox.
Some
 
functions
 
are
 
not
 
available
 
if
 
the
 
b

attery
 
is
 
not
 
sufficiently
 
charged.
It
 
is
 
advisable
 
to
 
disconnect
 
the
 
battery
 
if
 t

he
 
vehicle
 
is
 
to
 
be
 
left
 
unused
 
for
 
more
 t

han
 
one
 
month.
The batteries contain harmful substances s uch   as   sulphuric   acid   and   lead.   They m

ust   be   disposed   of   in   accordance
 w

ith   regulations   and   must   not,   in   any
 c

ircumstances,   be   discarded   with   household
 w

aste.
Take
  used   remote   control   batteries   and
 v

ehicle   batteries   to   a   special   collection   point.

Charging the battery using
a battery charger
F Disconnect   the   battery   from   the   vehicle.
F  F ollow   the   instructions   for   use   provided   by  
t

he   manufacturer   of   the   charger.
F
 
C
onnect   the   battery   starting   with   the

a

re   clean.   If   they   are   covered  
w
ith
 s
ulphate
 (

whitish   or   greenish   deposit),   remove   them  
a

nd   clean   them.
Reinitialisation after
reconnection
after any reconnection of the battery, switch on
the  ignition   and   wait   at   least   one   minute   before  
s

tarting,   to   allow   time   for   the   initialisation   of   the  
e

lectronic   systems.
By
  referring   to   the   corresponding   sections,   you  
s

hould   set   or   initialise   the   following   systems  
y

ourself:
-
 
o
ne-touch   electric   windows,
-
 
t
ime   and   date,
-
 
a
udio   and   navigation   system   settings.
Check
  that   no   alert   message   or   warning   lamp  
c

omes   on   after   switching   on   the   ignition.
However,
  if   minor   problems   persist   after  
c

arrying   out   these   operations,   contact   a  
C

ITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
Reconnecting the (+) cable
F Position  the   open   clamp   E of the cable on
the   positive   post   (+)   of   the   battery.
F
 
P
ress   vertically   on   the   clamp   E to position
it
  correctly   on   the   battery.
F
 
L
ock   the   clamp   by   spreading   the  
p

Disconnecting the (+) cable
F Raise   the   locking   tab   D fully to release the
cable t erminal c lamp E.
D
o   not   apply   excessive   force   on   the  
t

ab   as   locking   will   not   be   possible   if   the  
c

lamp   is   not   positioned   correctly;   start  
t

he   procedure   again. With
