BATTERY
The battery is located under the bonnet.
For access to the (+) terminal:
F

Access to the battery
The presence of this label, in
particular with the Stop & Start
system,
indicates
the
use
of
a 12
V
lead-acid
battery
with
spe
-
cial
technology
and
specification; the
involvement
of
a
CITROËN dealer
or
a
qualified
workshop
is essential
when
replacing
or
dis
-
connecting
the battery.
Procedure
for
starting
the
engine
using
another
battery
or
charging
a
dis
-
charged battery.

a
period
which
depends
on
the
climatic
conditions
and
the
state
of
charge
of
the
battery
(up
to
about
8 hours). First
check that the slave battery has
a nominal voltage of 12 V
and
a
capacity
at
least
equal
to
that
of the discharged battery.

the
casing
is
not
cracked,
which
could
cause
a
leak
of toxic and corrosive acid.

LOAD REDUCTION MODE
System which manages the use of cer -
tain functions according to the level of
charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily de -
activates certain functions, such as the
air
conditioning,
the
heated
rear
screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivat -
ed automatically as soon as conditions
permit.
ENERGY ECONOMY MODE
System which manages the period of use of certain functions to conserve a
sufficient
level of charge in the battery.
After
the
engine
has
stopped,
you
can
still
use
functions
such
as
the
audio
equipment,
windscreen
wipers,
dipped
beam
headlamps,
courtesy
lamps,
etc.
for
a
maximum
combined
period
of
thirty minutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once this period has elapsed, a message appears
in the screen indicating that the vehicle
has
switched
to
economy
mode and
the
active
functions
are
put
on
standby
.
If the telephone is being used at the
same time on the navigation
system,
it
will
be
interrupted
after 10
minutes.
A
flat
battery
prevents
the
en
-
gine
from
starting
(refer
to
the
corresponding
paragraph).
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated auto -
matically the next time the vehicle is
driven.
F
In

to
resume
the
use
of
these functions
immediately
,
start
the
engine and
let it run for a few minutes.
The
time
available
to
you
will
then
be double
the
period
for
which
the
engine is left running. However , this period will
always be between five and thirty minutes.
This period may be greatly re -
duced if the battery is not fully
charged.
