general points
Lead-acid starter batteries
Batteries contain harmful substances such   as   sulphuric   acid   and   lead.
They
  must   be   disposed   of   in  
a

ccordance   with   regulations   and   must

v

ehicle batteries to a special collection
point.
Versions
  equipped   with   Stop   &  
S

tart   are   fitted   with   a   12   V   lead-acid  
b

s

pecification.
Its
  replacement   should   be   carried

c

arried   out   in   a   well   ventilated   area   and  
a

way   from   naked   flames   and   sources  
o

f   sparks,   so   as   to   avoid   the   risk   of

Practical information

233
If you envisage charging your vehicle's battery   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.
Charging the battery using
a battery charger
For optimum service life of the battery, it is e
ssential   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.
F
 
S
witch   off   the   ignition.
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
 
A
t   the   end   of   the   charging   operation,   switch  
o

ff   the   charger   B   before   disconnecting   the  
c

ables   from   the   battery   A. Never
  try   to   charge   a   frozen   battery.
If the battery has been frozen, have
it
  checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or  
a

  qualified   workshop,   who   will   check  
t

hat   the   internal   components   have   not  
b

een   damaged   and   the   casing   is   not  
c

racked,   which   could   cause   a   leak   of  
t

oxic   and   corrosive   acid.
