cable to the negative terminal (-) of the
slave battery B or the booster (or earth
point on the other vehicle).
F

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.
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.

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.

A
t the end of the charging operation, switch
off the charger B before disconnecting the
cables from the battery A .
It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.
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. Follow the instructions for use provided
by the manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.
Charging the battery using a battery charger
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.
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.

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 ambient
temperature and the state of charge of
the battery (up to about 8 hours).
Do not force the lever as locking will
not be possible if the clamp is not
positioned correctly; start the procedure
again.

Disconnecting the battery
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:
F
c
lose all openings (doors, boot, windows,
roof),
F
s
witch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, wipers, lighting,
...),
F
s
witch off the ignition and wait for four
minutes.
At the battery, detach just the (+) terminal.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 problems remain following this
operation, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you
must yourself reinitialise (depending on
version):
