for the cost incurred in repairing your
vehicle or for rectifying malfunctions resulting
from the installation of accessories not
supplied and not recommended by CITROËN
and not installed in accordance with its
instructions, in particular when the combined
consumption of all of the additional equipment
connected exceeds 10 milliamperes.
For more information on installing a
towbar or TAXI type equipment, contact a
CITROËN dealer.

12 V battery
Procedure for starting the engine using another
battery or charging a discharged battery.
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 with
special technology and specifications.
It should only be replaced by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Access to the battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.
► Open the bonnet using the interior release
lever
, then the exterior safety catch.
►

Secure the bonnet stay
.

170
In the event of a breakdown

The battery (-) terminal is not accessible.
There is a remote earth point near the battery.
For more information on the Bonnet and
the Engine , refer to the corresponding
sections.
Starting using another
battery
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a backup battery
(external or from another vehicle) and jump
leads or using a battery booster.
Never start the engine by connecting a
battery charger.
Never use a 24
V or higher battery booster.
Check beforehand that the backup 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 all the electrical consumers on both
vehicles (audio system, wipers, lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are not close
to the moving parts of the engine (fan, belt,
etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while the
engine is running.


► Connect the red cable to the (+) terminal of
flat battery A (at the metal elbow), then to the (+)
terminal of backup battery

B
or the booster.
►

Connect one end of the green or black cable
to the (-) terminal of backup battery

B or the
booster (or to an earth point on the assisting
vehicle).
►

Connect the other end of the green or black
cable to earth point


C
on the broken down
vehicle.
►

Start the engine of the assisting vehicle and
leave it running for a few minutes.
► Operate the starter on the broken down
vehicle and let the engine run.
If the engine does not start straight away
, switch
off the ignition and wait a few moments before
trying again.
►

W
ait for it to return to idle.
►

Disconnect the jump leads in reverse order.
►


Allow the engine to run for at least
30

minutes, by driving or with the vehicle
stationary, so that the battery reaches an
adequate state of charge.
To disconnect, proceed in reverse order.
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.
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:
–

using the vehicle mainly for short journeys;
–


if the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

171
In the event of a breakdown
8To charge the vehicle's battery yourself, use only a charger compatible with
lead-acid batteries with a nominal voltage of
12

V.
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.
It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.
►

Switch off the ignition.
►


Switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, lighting, wipers, etc.).


► Switch off charger B before connecting
the cables to the battery, so as to avoid any
dangerous sparks.
►

Ensure that the charger cables are in good
condition.
► Lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if the
vehicle has one.
►

Connect the cables of charger B

as follows:
•

the positive (+) red cable to the (+) terminal
of battery

A,
•

the negative (-) black cable to earth point C


on the vehicle.
►

At the end of the charging operation, switch
off charger B

before disconnecting the cables
from battery A.

24v 12v
If this label is present, use only a 12 V
charger to avoid causing irreversible
damage to the electrical components related
to the Stop & Start system.
Never try to charge a frozen battery - risk
of explosion!
If the battery has frozen, have it checked by a
CITROËN dealer or by a qualified workshop
who will verify that the internal components
have not been damaged and that the case
has not cracked, which would mean a risk of
toxic and corrosive acid leaking.
Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state of
charge for starting the engine, we recommend
disconnecting the battery if the vehicle is to be
unused for an extended period.
Before disconnecting the battery:
►

close all doors, windows and the tailgate and
sunroof,
►


switch off all electricity consuming devices
(audio system, wipers, headlamps, etc.),
►


switch off the ignition and wait for four
minutes.
At the battery

, it is only necessary to disconnect
the (+) terminal.
Quick-release terminal clamp
Disconnecting the (+) terminal

► Raise the lever A fully to release the clamp
B.
►

Remove the clamp B

by lifting it off.

In case of battery or electric parking brake failure, it is essential to call a p
rofessional using flatbed recovery vehicles (excluding manual gearbox).
Access to the eye
For more information on the Tool kit,
refer to the corresponding section.
With a manual gearbox, move the gear
lever into neutral.
With an automatic gearbox, place the gear
selector into position N.
Failure to adhere to this instruction may lead
to damage to braking system components
and the lack of braking assistance on
restarting the engine.

► Raise the lever A fully.
► Replace the open clamp B
on the (+)
terminal.
►

Push the clamp
B fully down.
►

Lower the lever A

to lock the clamp B.
Do not force the lever as it will not be
possible to lock the clamp if it is not
positioned correctly; start the procedure
again.
Following reconnection
After reconnecting the battery, turn on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting the
engine, to enable the electronic systems to
initialise.
However, if minor problems persist following
this operation, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you must
reset certain systems yourself, such as:
– the remote control key or the electronic key
(depending on version),
–

the electric windows,
–


the electric doors,
–


the date and time,
–


the radio preset stations.
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).
Towing
Procedure for having your vehicle towed or for towing another vehicle us\
ing the towing eye.
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in the country where you are driving.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is higher than that of the \
towed vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of the towed vehicle and must have a\
valid driving licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always use an \
approved towbar; ropes and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When the vehicle is towed with its engine off, there is no longer braking and steering assistance.
A professional recovery service must be called if:
– broken down on a motorway or main road;
–

not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the steering, or re\
lease the parking brake;
–


not possible to tow a vehicle with an automatic gearbox, with the engine\
running;
