12 V battery
Procedure for starting the engine using another battery or charging a discharged battery.
General points
Lead-acid starter batteries
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.
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.
Wash your hands afterwards. Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out
only by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If you have an electronic or automatic
gearbox, never try to start the engine by
pushing the vehicle.
Access to the battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.
To gain access to it:
F

O
pen the bonnet using the interior release
lever, then the exterior safety catch.
F

S
ecure the bonnet stay.
F

R
emove the plastic cover on the (+)
terminal.
The battery (-) terminal is not accessible. A
remote earth point is located on the engine.

Identification markings
The vehicle may be originally equipped
with tyres with higher load and speed
indices than those indicated on the label,
without affecting inflation pressure.
Various visible markings for the identification of your vehicle.
A
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
under the bonnet.
This number is engraved on the bodywork
near the passenger compartment filter.
B Vehicle identification number on the
dashboard.
The number is recorded on a label, visible
through the windscreen.
C Tyre/paint label.
This label is affixed to the centre pillar on
the driver’s side.
It bears the following information:
-

T

he tyre pressures, for unladen and
laden conditions.
-

T

he tyre sizes.
-

T

he spare tyre inflation pressure.
-

T

he paint colour code. Low tyre pressure introduces the risk of a
burst tyre.
D
Manufacturer's label.
The number is indicated on a self-
destroying label affixed to the lower part
of the right hand centre pillar. Checking tyre pressures
The tyre pressures should be checked when
cold at least monthly.
The pressures given on the label are valid for
cold tyres. If you have driven for more than
10

minutes or more than 6 miles (10 kilometres)
at more than 30 mph (50 km/h), the tyres will be
warm. In this case 0.3 bar (30 kPa) should be
added to the pressures given on the label.
Never reduce the pressure of a warm tyre.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption.
