Access to the battery
Procedure for starting the engine using another battery or charging a discharged battery.
T he 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  
o

r   a   qualified   workshop   is   essential  
w

hen   replacing   or   disconnecting   the  
b

attery.
After
  refitting   the   battery,   the   Stop & Start
 s

ystem   will   only   be   active   after   a
 c

ontinuous   period   of   immobilisation   of   the
 v

ehicle,   a   period   which   depends   on   the
 c

limatic   conditions   and   the   state   of   charge
 o

f   the   battery   (up   to   about   8   hours). When
  your   vehicle's   battery   is   discharged,   the  
e

ngine   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 nominal   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.

The batteries contain harmful substances such   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.
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.
