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 all electrical consumers (audio
s
ystem, lighting, wipers, ...).
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
nsure that the charger cables are in good
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

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

if
the
vehicle
is
not
to
be
used
f
or
a
very
long
period,
so
as
to
maintain
