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.
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.
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.
General points
Lead-acid starter batteries
If your vehicle has an automatic
gearbox, do not try to start the engine
by pushing the vehicle.
The (-) battery terminal is not accessible.
A remote earth point is located in the upper
section under the bonnet (alongside the
battery).

30
minutes, by driving or with the vehicle
stationary, so that the battery reaches an
adequate state of charge.
Starting using another battery
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.
F
R
aise the plastic cover on the (+) terminal,
if your vehicle has one.
F

cable to the earth point C on the broken
down vehicle.
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.

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.

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):
