Starting using another
battery
If the vehicle's battery is flat, the engine can be
started using a backup battery (either 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 electricity-consuming equipment
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are well away
from the engine’s moving parts (fan, belt,
etc.).

In the event of a breakdown
► Connect the red cable to the (+) terminal of
flat battery A (at the metal elbow), then to the
(+) terminal of the backup battery
B or of the
booster.
►
Connect one end of the green or black cable
to the (-) terminal of the backup battery
B or of
the booster (or to an earth point on the assisting
vehicle).

►
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, with the vehicle stationary, so that
the battery reaches an adequate state of charge.
Driving immediately without having
reached a sufficient level of charge may
affect some of the vehicle's functions (e.g.
Stop & Start).
To disconnect, proceed in reverse order.
Automatic gearbox
Never try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not

essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.
In some circumstances, it may be necessary to
charge the battery:
–
When 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.
To 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 the ignition off.
►
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
