When your vehicle's battery is dis-
charged, the engine can be started using
a slave battery (external or on another
vehicle) and jump lead cables.
Starting using another battery
12 V BATTERY
The battery is located under the bonnet.
For access to the (+) terminal:
release the bonnet using the interior
lever, then the exterior safety catch,
raise the bonnet and secure it with
its stay,
lift the plastic cover for access to the
(+) terminal.
Access to the battery
The presence of this label, in par-
ticular with the Stop & Start sys-
tem, indicates the use of a 12 V
lead-acid battery with special
technology and specifi cation;
the involvement of a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop is
essential when replacing or dis-
connecting the battery.
Procedure for starting the engine us-
ing another battery or charging a dis-
charged battery.
After refi tting the battery, the
Stop & Start system will only be
active after a continuous period
of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a period which depends on the
climatic conditions and the state
of charge of the battery (up to
about 8 hours).
First check that the slave battery
has a nominal voltage of 12 V
and a capacity at least equal to
that of the discharged battery.
Do not try to start the engine by
connecting a battery charger.
Do not disconnect the (+) termi-
nal when the engine is running.
Before doing any work
Immobilise the vehicle: apply the
parking brake, put the gearbox
in neutral, then switch off the ig-
nition.
Check that all electrical equip-
ment is switched off.

Access to the tools
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your country.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is higher than that of the towed
vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of the towed vehicle and must have a
valid driving licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always use an
approved towing bar; rope and straps are prohibited.
When towing a vehicle with the engine off, there is no longer any power
assistance for braking or steering.
In the following cases, you must always call on a professional recovery
service:
- vehicle broken down on a motorway or fast road,
- 4 wheel drive vehicle,
- when it is not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the steering,
or release the parking brake,
- towing with only two wheels on the ground,
- where there is no approved towing bar available...
