Charging the battery using
a battery charger
For optimum service life of the battery, it is essential   to   maintain   an   adequate   state   of  
c

harge.
In
  some   circumstances   it   may   be   necessary   to  
c

harge   the   battery:
-
 
i
f   you   use   your   vehicle   essentially   for   short  
j

ourneys,
-
 
i
f   the   vehicle   is   to   be   taken   off   the   road   for  
s

everal   weeks.
Contact
  a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop. Never
  try   to   charge   a   frozen   battery.
If the battery has been frozen, have
it
  checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified   workshop,   who   will   check   that  
t

he   internal   components   have   not   been  
d

amaged   and   the   casing   is   not   cracked,  
w

hich   could   cause   a   leak   of   toxic   and  
c

orrosive   acid.
If
  you   envisage   charging   your   vehicle's  
b

attery   yourself,   use   only   a   charger  
c

ompatible   with   lead-acid   batteries   of   a  
n

ominal   voltage   of   12   V.
If this label is present, it is essential
to
  use   only   a   12   V   charger,   to   avoid  
c

ausing   irreversible   damage   to   the  
e

lectrical   components   related   to   the  
S

top   &   Start   system. Follow
  the   instructions   for   use   provided  
b

y   the   manufacturer   of   the   charger.
Never
  reverse   polarities.
It
  is   not   necessary   to   disconnect   the  
b

Disconnecting the (+) terminal
F Raise the lever A fully to release the clamp  B.
Reconnecting the (+) terminal
F Position   the   open   clamp   B of the cable on
the   positive   post   (+)   of   the   battery.
F
 
P

c

orrectly   on   the   battery   post.
F

Do
  not   force   the   lever   as   locking   will  
n

ot   be   possible   if   the   clamp   is   not  
p

ositioned   correctly;   start   the   procedure  
ag

ain.
Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state of   charge   for   starting   the   engine,   it   is  
r

ecommended   that   the   battery   be   disconnected  
i

f   the   vehicle   is   taken   out   of   service   for   a   long  
p

eriod.
Wait
  2   minutes   after   switching   off   the   ignition  
b

efore   disconnecting   the   battery:
F
 
c
lose   all   openings   (doors,   boot,   windows,  
r

oof),
F
 
s
witch   off   all   electrical   consumers   (audio  
s

ystem,   wipers,   lighting,   ...),
F
 
s
witch   off   the   ignition   and   wait   for  
f

our minutes.
Having
  exposed   the   battery,   it   is   only  
n

ecessary   to   disconnect   the   (+)   terminal.
Following reconnection of the
battery
After reconnecting the battery, switch on the ignition   and   wait   1   minute   before   starting   to  
a

llow   initialisation   of   the   electronic   systems.
However,
  if   minor   problems   persist   following  
t

his   operation,   contact   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w
orkshop.
Referring
  to   the   corresponding   section,   you  
m

ust   yourself   reinitialise   or   reset   certain  
s

ystems,   such   as:
-
 
t
he   remote   control,
-
 
t
he   date   and   time,
-
 
t
he   radio   preset   stations.
Quick release terminal
The Stop & Start system may not be operational   during   the   trip   following   the  
f

irst   engine   start.
In
  this   case,   the   system   will   only   be  
a

vailable   again   after   a   continuous  
p

eriod   of   immobilisation   of   the   vehicle,  
a

  period   which   depends   on   the   ambient  
t

emperature   and   the   state   of   charge   of  
t

he   battery   (up   to   about   8   hours).

a

ctive   functions   are   put   on   standby.
If

it
  will   be   maintained   for   around   10   minutes   with

s

ystem.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically n ext   time   the   vehicle   is   driven.
F
 
T
o   restore   these   functions   immediately,  
s

tart   the   engine   and   let   it   run   for   at   least

ection).
Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain functions   according   to   the   level   of   charge  
r

emaining   in   the   battery.
When
  the   vehicle   is   being   driven,   the   load  
r

eduction   function   temporarily   deactivates  
c

ertain   functions,   such   as   the   air   conditioning,
