Charging the battery using
a battery charger
For optimum service life of the battery, it is essential to maintain an adequate state of
c
harge.
In
some circumstances it may be necessary to
c
harge the battery:
-
i
f you use your vehicle essentially for short
j
ourneys,
-
i
f the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
s
everal weeks.
Contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop. Never
try to charge a frozen battery.
If the battery has been frozen, have
it
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.
If
you envisage charging your vehicle's
b
attery yourself, use only a charger
c
ompatible with lead-acid batteries of a
n
ominal voltage of 12 V.
If this label is present, it is essential
to
use only a 12 V charger, to avoid
c
ausing irreversible damage to the
e
lectrical components related to the
S
top & Start system. Follow
the instructions for use provided
b
y the manufacturer of the charger.
Never
reverse polarities.

Disconnecting the (+) terminal
F Raise the lever A fully to release the clamp B.
Reconnecting the (+) terminal
F Position the open clamp B of the cable on
the positive post (+) of the battery.
F
P
ress down on the clamp to position it
c
orrectly on the battery post.
F
L

Do
not force the lever as locking will
n
ot be possible if the clamp is not
p
ositioned correctly; start the procedure
ag
ain.
Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state of charge for starting the engine, it is
r
ecommended that the battery be disconnected
i
f the vehicle is taken out of service for a long
p
eriod.
Wait
2 minutes after switching off the ignition
b
efore disconnecting the battery:
F
c
lose all openings (doors, boot, windows,
r
oof),
F
s
witch off all electrical consumers (audio
s
ystem, wipers, lighting, ...),
F
s
witch off the ignition and wait for
f
our minutes.
Having
exposed the battery, it is only
n
ecessary to disconnect the (+) terminal.
Following reconnection of the
battery
After reconnecting the battery, switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute before starting to
a
llow initialisation of the electronic systems.
However,
if minor problems persist following
t
his operation, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified
w
orkshop.
Referring
to the corresponding section, you
m
ust yourself reinitialise or reset certain
s
ystems, such as:
-
t
he remote control,
-
t
he date and time,
-
t
he radio preset stations.
Quick release terminal
The Stop & Start system may not be operational during the trip following the
f
irst engine start.
In
this case, the system will only be
a
vailable again after a continuous
p
eriod of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a
period which depends on the ambient
t
emperature and the state of charge of
t
he battery (up to about 8 hours).
