Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state of   charge   for   starting   the   engine,   it   is  
r

ecommended   that   the   battery   be   disconnected  
i

f   the   vehicle   is   taken   out   of   service   for   a   long  
p

eriod.
Wait
  2   minutes   after   switching   off   the   ignition

f

our minutes.
Having
  exposed   the   battery,   it   is   only  
n

ecessary   to   disconnect   the   (+)   terminal.
Following reconnection of the
battery
After reconnecting the battery, switch on the ignition   and   wait   1   minute   before   starting   to  
a

llow   initialisation   of   the   electronic   systems.
However,
  if   minor   problems   persist   following  
t

his   operation,   contact   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w
orkshop.
Referring
  to   the   corresponding   section,   you  
m

ust   yourself   reinitialise   or   reset   certain  
s

ystems,   such   as:
-

t
he   date   and   time,
-
 
t
he   radio   preset   stations.
Quick release terminal
The Stop & Start system may not be operational   during   the   trip   following   the  
f

irst   engine   start.
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
