general points
Lead-acid starter batteries
Batteries contain harmful substances
such as sulphuric acid and lead.
They must be disposed of in
accordance with regulations and must
not, in any circumstances, be discarded
with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries and
vehicle batteries to a special collection
point.
If your vehicle has an automatic
gearbox, do not try to start the engine
by pushing the vehicle.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out
only by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The battery (-) terminal is not accessible.
A remote earth point is provided at the front of
the vehicle.
For access to it:
F
u
nclip the plastic cover, located alongside
the left-hand headlamp.
Practical information
disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state
of charge for starting the engine, it is
recommended that the battery be disconnected
if the vehicle is taken out of service for a long
period.

the battery (up to about 8 hours).
After reconnecting the battery, switch on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting to
allow initialisation of the electronic systems.
