Practical information

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

external   or   on   another   vehicle)   and   jump   leads.
Starting using another
battery
First check that the slave battery has a nominal voltage   of   12   V   and   a   capacity   at   least   equal   to  
t

hat   of   the   discharged   battery.
Do
  not   try   to   start   the   engine   by   connecting   a  
b

attery   charger.
Do
  not   disconnect   the   (+)   terminal   when   the  
e

ngine   is   running.
F
 
C
onnect   the   red   cable   to   the   positive  
t

erminal   (+)   of   the   flat   battery   A, then to the
positive
  terminal   (+)   of   the   slave   battery   B.
F
 
C
onnect   one   end   of   the   green   or   black  
c

able   to   the   negative   terminal   (-)   of   the  
s

lave battery B   (or   earth   point   on   the   other  
v

ehicle).

  vehicle. F
 
S

a

llow   it   to   run   for   a   few   minutes.
F
 
O
perate   the   starter   of   the   broken-down  
v

ehicle   and   let   the   engine   run.
 I

f   the   engine   does   not   start   immediately,  
s

witch   off   the   ignition   and   wait   a   few  
m

oments   before   trying   again.
F
 
W
ait   until   the   engine   returns   to   idle,   then  
d

isconnect   the   jump   leads   in   reverse   order.Some
  functions   are   not   available   if   the  
b

attery   is   not   sufficiently   charged.

237
Protect your eyes and face before handling   the   battery.
All
  operations   on   the   battery   must   be  
c

arried   out   in   a   well   ventilated   area  
a

way   from   naked   flames   and   sources  
o

f   sparks,   so   as   to   avoid   the   risk   of  
e

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

he   battery   must   first   be   thawed   out   to  
a

void

as   been   frozen,   before   charging   have  
i

t   checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or  
a

  qualified   workshop   who   will   check  
t

hat   the   internal   components   have   not  
b

een   damaged   and   the   casing   is   not  
c

racked,   which   could   cause   a   leak   of  
t

oxic   and   corrosive   acid.
Do
  not   reverse   the   polarity   and   use  
o

nly   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
 
g

earbox
 
or
 
automatic
 
gearbox.Charging the battery using
a battery charger
Batteries contain harmful substances such a s   sulphuric   acid   and   lead.   They   must   be d

isposed   of   in   accordance   with   regulations
 a

nd   must   not,   in   any   circumstances,   be
 d

iscarded   with   household   waste.
Take
  used   remote   control   batteries   and
 v

ehicle batteries to a special collection
point.
F Follow   the   instructions   for   use   provided   by  t
he   manufacturer   of   the   charger.
Do
  not   disconnect   the   battery   to   charge   it.
Practical information

Energy economy modeSystem which manages the period of use of certain functions to conserve a sufficient level of charge in the battery.
A fter   the   engine   has   stopped,   you   can   still   use   functions   such   as   the   audio   equipment,   windscreen   wipers,   dipped   beam   headlamps,   courtesy   lamps,  
e

tc.   for   a   maximum   combined   period   of   thirty   minutes.
This
  period   may   be   greatly   reduced   if  
t

he   battery   is   not   fully   charged.
A
  flat   battery   prevents   the   engine   from  
s

tarting   (refer   to   the   corresponding  
par

agraph).
If
  the   telephone   is   being   used   at   the  
s

ame   time   on   the   eMyWay   audio  
n

avigation   system,   it   will   be   interrupted  
a

fter   10   minutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once this period has elapsed, a message appears   on   the   multifunction   screen   indicating  
t

hat   the   vehicle   has   switched   to   economy   mode  
a

nd   the   active   functions   are   put   on   standby.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically the   next   time   the   vehicle   is   driven.
F
 
I
n   order   to   resume   the   use   of   these  
f

unctions   immediately,   start   the   engine   and  
l

et   it   run   for   a   few   minutes.
The
  time   available   to   you   will   then   be   double  
t

he   period   for   which   the   engine   is   left   running.  
H

owever,   this   period   will   always   be   between  
f

ive   and   thirty   minutes.
