battery
First check that the slave battery has a n ominal   voltage   of   12   V   and   a   capacity  
a

t   least   equal   to   that   of   the   discharged  
b

attery.
Do

Protect your eyes and face before handling   the   battery.
All
  operations   on   the   battery   must   be  
c

arried   out   in   a   well   ventilated   area   and  
a

way   from   naked   flames   and   sources  
o

f   sparks,   so   as   to   avoid   the   risk   of  
e

xplosion   or   fire.
Do
  not   try   to   charge   a   frozen   battery;  
t

he   battery   must   first   be   thawed   out   to  
a

void   the   risk   of   explosion.   If   the   battery  
h

as   been   frozen,   before   charging   have  
i

t   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.
Do
  not   reverse   the   polarity   and   use   only  
a

  12   V   charger.
Do
  not   disconnect   the   terminals   while  
t

he   engine   is   running.
Do
  not   charge   the   batteries   without  
d

isconnecting   the   terminals   first.
