several weeks.
Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
To charge the vehicle's battery yourself,
use only a


charger compatible with lead-

nominal voltage of
12


V.
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the charger.

It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery. F

S
witch off the ignition.
F
S
witch off all electrical consumers (audio

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.
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.

t the end of the charging operation, switch
off charger B before disconnecting the
cables from battery A . In order to maintain an adequate state
of charge for starting the engine, it is
recommended that the battery be disconnected
