Following reconnection of
the battery
Following reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute
before starting to permit initialisation
of the electronic systems. However, if
slight malfunctions remain following this
operation, contact a CITRoËn dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section,
you must yourself reinitialise:
- the remote control key,
- the glass panoramic roof blind,
- the radio station presets, the date
and time in the audio system.
Starting using another
battery
If your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a slave battery
(external or on another vehicle) and jump lead
cables.
Before disconnecting the
battery
Wait 2 minutes after switching off the
ignition before disconnecting the battery.
Close the windows and the doors before
disconnecting the battery. F
Connect the red cable to the positive
terminal (+) of the flat battery A , then to the
positive terminal (+) of the slave battery B .
F Connect one end of the green or black
cable to the negative terminal (-) of the
slave battery B .
F Connect the other end of the green or black
cable to the earth point C on the broken
down vehicle.
F Start the engine on the other vehicle and
leave it running for a few minutes.
F Operate the starter, let the engine run.
If the engine does not start straight away,
switch the ignition off and wait a few
moments before trying again.
F Wait until the engine returns to idle and
disconnect the jump lead cables in reverse
o r d e r.
First check that the slave battery has a
nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity
at least equal to the battery on your
vehicle.
Do not try to start the engine by
connecting a battery charger.
Do not disconnect the battery (+)
terminal when the engine is running.

Charging the battery using
a battery charger
F Disconnect the battery from the vehicle.
F Follow the instructions for use provided by
the manufacturer of the charger.
F Reconnect starting with the negative
terminal (-).
F Check that the terminals and connectors
are clean. If they are covered with sulphate
(whitish or greenish deposit), remove them
and clean them.With Stop & Start, the battery does not
have to be disconnected for charging.
Some functions are not available if the
battery is not sufficiently charged.
Protect your eyes and face before
handling the battery.
All operations on the battery must be
carried out in a well ventilated area and
away from naked flames and sources
of sparks, so as to avoid the risk of
explosion or fire.
Do not try to charge a frozen battery;
the battery must first be thawed out to
avoid the risk of explosion. If the battery
has been frozen, before charging have
it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop who will check that
the internal components have not been
damaged and the casing is not cracked,
which could cause a leak of toxic and
corrosive acid.
d
o not reverse the polarity and use only
a 12 V charger.
Do not disconnect the terminals while
the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries without
disconnecting the terminals first.
Wash your hands after wards.
It is advisable to disconnect the battery
if the vehicle is to be left unused for
more than one month.
The batteries contain harmful substances
such as sulphuric acid and lead. They
must be disposed of in accordance
with regulations and must not, in any
circumstances, be discarded with household
waste.
Take used remote control batteries and
vehicle batteries to a special collection point.
d
o not push the vehicle to start the
engine if your vehicle has an automatic
gearbox.
After refitting the battery, the Stop &
Start system will only be active after a
continuous period of immobilisation of the
vehicle, a period which depends on the
climatic conditions and the state of charge
of the battery (up to about 8 hours).
