a
 
battery
 
charger.
Never
 
use
 
a
 
24
 
V
 
or
 
higher
 
battery
 
b

o o s t e r.
First
 
check
 
that
 
the
 
slave
 
battery
 
has
 
a
 
n

ominal
 
voltage
 
of
 
12
 
V
 
and
 
a
 
capacity
 
a

t
 
least
 
equal
 
to
 
that
 
of
 
the
 
discharged
 
b

attery.
The
 
two
 
vehicles
 
must
 
not
 
be
 
in
 
contact
 w
ith
 
each
 
other.
Switch
 
off
 
the
 
electrical
 
consumers
 
on
 
b

oth
 
vehicles
 
(audio
 
system,
 
wipers,
 
l

F  
R
efit   the   plastic   cover   to   the   (+)   terminal,   if  
y

our   vehicle   has   one.
F  A llow   the   engine   to   run   for   at   least  3
0 minutes,   by   driving   or   with   the   vehicle  
s

215
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. It
  is   not   necessary   to   disconnect   the  
b

attery.
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.
F
 
S

F
 
S
witch   off   the   charger   B   before   connecting  
t

he   cables   to   the   battery,   so   as   to   avoid   any  
d

angerous
 spar
ks.
F
 
E

c

ondition.
F
 
C
onnect   the   charger   B   cables   as   follows:
-
 
t
he   positive   (+)   red   cable   to   the   (+)  
t

erminal   of   the   battery   A,
-
 
t
he   negative   (-)   black   cable   to   the   earth  
p

oint C   on   the   vehicle.
F
 
A
t   the   end   of   the   charging   operation,   switch

Quick release terminal
Disconnecting the (+) terminal
F Raise the lever A fully to release the clamp  B.
The
  Stop   &   Start   system   may   not   be  
o

perational   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).
It
 
is
 
recommended
 
that
 
the
 
battery
 
be
 
d

isconnected
 
if
 
the
 
vehicle
 
is
 
not
 
to
 
be
 
used
 
f

or
 
a
 
very
 
long
 
period,
 
so
 
as
 
to
 
maintain
 
an
 
a

dequate
 
state
 
of
 
charge
 
for
 
starting
 
the
 
e

ngine.
Before
 
disconnecting
 
the
 
battery:
F
 
c

lose
 
all
 
openings
 
(doors,
