Charging the battery using a battery charger
If this label is present, it is essential
to
  use   only   a   12   V   charger,   to   avoid  
c

ausing   irreversible   damage   to   the  
el

ectrical components related to the
Stop
  &   Start   system.
For optimum service life of the battery, it is
essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.
In some circumstances it may be necessary to
charge
  the   battery:
-

i

f you use your vehicle essentially for short
journeys,
-
 
i

f
 
the   vehicle   is   to   be   taken   off   the   road   for  
s

everal   weeks.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

a period which depends on the ambient
temperature
  and   the   state   of   charge   of
