Access to the battery
Procedure for starting the engine using another battery or charging a discharged battery.
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 after wards.
If your vehicle has an automatic
gearbox, do not try to start the engine
by pushing the vehicle.
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.
(+) Positive terminal.
It has a quick-release clamp.
(-) Negative terminal.
As the battery negative terminal is not
accessible, a remote earth point is located on
the structure of the front right wing.

When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a slave battery
(external or on another vehicle) and jump lead
cables or a battery booster.
Starting using another battery
F Raise the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if your vehicle has one.
F

C
onnect the red cable to the positive
terminal (+) of the flat battery A (at
the metal elbow) then to the positive
terminal
(+) of the slave battery B or the
b o o s t e r.
F

C
onnect one end of the green or black
cable to the negative terminal (-) of the
slave battery B or the booster (or earth
point on the other vehicle).
F

C
onnect the other end of the green or black
cable to the earth point C on the broken
down vehicle. F

S
tart the engine of the vehicle with the
good battery and leave it running for a few
minutes.
F
O
perate the starter on the broken down
vehicle and let the engine run.
I
f the engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition and wait a few
moments before trying again.
Never try to start the engine by
connecting a battery charger.
Never use a 24 V or higher battery
b o o s t e r.
First check that the slave battery has a
nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity
at least equal to that of the discharged
battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact
with each other.
Switch off the electrical consumers on
both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting,
...

).
Ensure that the jump lead cables do
not pass close to moving parts of the
engine (cooling fan, belts,

...).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal when
the engine is running. F

In the event of a breakdown

245
Charging the battery using a battery charger
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
several weeks.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.
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 that
the internal components have not been
damaged and the casing is not cracked,
which could cause a leak of toxic and
corrosive acid.
If you envisage charging your vehicle's
battery yourself, use only a charger
compatible with lead-acid batteries of a
nominal voltage of 12 V.
If this label is present, it is essential
to use only a 12 V charger, to avoid
causing irreversible damage to the
electrical components related to the
Stop & Start system. Follow the instructions for use provided
by the manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.

emove the clamp B by lifting it off. The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be
available again after a continuous
period of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a period which depends on the exterior
temperature and the state of charge of
the battery (up to about 8 hours).
In order to maintain an adequate state
of charge for starting the engine, it is
recommended that the battery be disconnected
if the vehicle is taken out of service for a long
period.
Before disconnecting the battery:
