12 V battery
General points
Lead-acid starter batteries
Batteries contain harmful substances 
such as sulphuric acid and lead.
They must be disposed of in 
accordance with regulations and must 
not, in any circumstances, be discarded 
with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries and 
vehicle batteries to a
  special collection 
point.
Protect your eyes and face before 
handling the battery.
All operations on the battery must be 
carried out in a
  well ventilated area and 
away from naked flames and sources of 
sparks, so as to avoid the risk of explosion 
or fire.
Wash your hands afterwards.
Access to the battery
The battery (-) terminal is not accessible.
A remote earth point is located on the upper 
part of the bonnet (next to the battery).
Starting using another 
battery
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the 
engine can be started using a   backup battery 
(external or from another vehicle) and jump 
leads or a
  battery booster.
Never try to start the engine by connecting 
a
  battery charger.
Never use a
  24   V or higher battery 
b o o s t e r.
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 the electrical consumers on 
both vehicles (audio system, wipers, 
lighting, etc.).
Ensure that the jump lead cables do not 
pass close to moving parts of the engine 
(cooling fan, belts, etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while 
the engine is running.
The battery is located under the bonnet.
For access to the (+) terminal:
F
 
r
elease the bonnet using the interior lever, 
then the exterior safety catch,
F
 
r
aise the bonnet and secure it with its stay,
F
 
l
ift the plastic cover for access to the (+) 
terminal.

F Start the engine of the vehicle with the good battery and leave it running for a   few 
minutes.
F
 
O
 perate the starter on the broken down 
vehicle and let the engine run.
If the engine does not start straight away, 
switch off the ignition and wait a
  few moments 
before trying again.
F
 
W
 ait until the engine returns to idle then 
disconnect the jump lead cables in the 
reverse order.
F
 
R
 efit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal, if 
your vehicle has one.
F
 
A
 llow the engine to run for at least 
30
  minutes, by driving or with the vehicle 
stationary, so that the battery reaches an 
adequate state of charge.
Some functions, including Stop & Start, 
are not available if the battery is not 
sufficiently charged.
Charging the battery using 
a   battery charger
For optimum ser vice life of the battery, it is 
essential to maintain an adequate state of 
charge. If you wish to charge your 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.
F
 
L
ift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if 
your vehicle has one.
F
 
C
onnect the red cable to the (+) terminal of 
flat battery A (at the metal elbow) then to 
the (+) terminal of backup battery B or the 
b o o s t e r.
F
 
C
onnect one end of the green or black 
cable to the (-) terminal of backup battery 
B or the booster (or an earth point on the 
other vehicle).
F
 C
onnect the other end of the green or black 
cable to earth point C on the broken down 
vehicle. In some circumstances it may be necessary to 
charge the battery:
-
 
i
 f you only use your vehicle for short 
journeys,
-  
i
 f the vehicle is to be taken off the road for 
several weeks.
Contact a   CITROËN dealer or a   qualified 
workshop.

Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state 
of charge for starting the engine, it is 
recommended that the battery be disconnected 
if the vehicle is taken out of ser vice for a  long 
period.
Quick-release terminal clamp
F Switch off the ignition.
F  S witch off all electrical consumers (audio 
system, lighting, wipers, etc.).
F
 
S
 witch off charger B before connecting the 
cables to the battery, so as to avoid any 
dangerous sparks.
F
 
E
 nsure that the charger cables are in good 
condition.
F
 
R
 aise the plastic cover, if your vehicle has 
one, on the (+) terminal.
F
 
C
 onnect charger B cables as follows:
-
 
t
 he (+) red cable to the (+) terminal of 
battery A ,
-
 
t
 he (-) black cable to earth point C on the 
vehicle. Never try to charge a
  frozen battery – risk 
of explosion!
If the battery has frozen, have it checked 
by a
  CITROËN dealer or by a   qualified 
workshop who will check that the internal 
components have not been damaged and 
that the container has not cracked, which 
would mean a
  risk of toxic and corrosive 
acid leaking.
F
 
A
 t the end of the charging operation, switch 
off charger B before disconnecting the 
cables from battery A .
If this label is present, it is essential to 
use only a   12   V charger to avoid causing 
irreversible damage to the electrical 
components related to the Stop & Start 
system. Before disconnecting the battery:
F  
c
 lose all openings (doors, boot, windows, 
roof),
F  
s
 witch off all electrical consumers (audio 
system, wipers, lighting, etc.).
F  
s
 witch off the ignition and wait for four 
minutes.
At the battery, detach the (+) terminal only.
Disconnecting the (+) terminal
F
 
Ra
 ise the lever A fully to release the clamp B .
F
 
R
 emove the clamp B by lifting it off.

Reconnecting the (+) terminalDo not force the lever as locking will not 
be possible if the clamp is not positioned 
correctly; start the procedure again.
Following reconnection of the 
battery
Following reconnection of the battery, switch on 
the ignition and wait 1   minute before starting to 
permit initialisation of the electronic systems. If 
minor problems nevertheless persist following 
this operation, contact a
  CITROËN dealer or 
a
 
qualified workshop. Versions equipped with Stop & Start are 
fitted with a
  12   V lead-acid battery of 
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out 
only by a   CITROËN dealer or a   qualified 
workshop.
The Stop & Start system may not be 
operational during the trip following the 
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be 
available again after a
 
 continuous 
period of immobilisation of the vehicle, 
a period which depends on the exterior 
temperature and the state of charge of the 
battery (up to about 8   hours).
F  
Ra

F  
R

 terminal.
F

Ensure that the weight of the towing 
vehicle is greater than that of the towed 
vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of 
the towed vehicle and must have a
  valid 
driving licence.
When towing a
  vehicle with all four wheels 
on the ground, always use an approved 
towbar: rope and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When the vehicle is towed with its engine 
off, there is no longer braking and steering 
assistance.
In the following cases, you must always 
call on a
  professional recovery ser vice:

corresponding engine compartment view.For more information on Diesel misfuel 
prevention , refer to the corresponding 
section.
If the engine does not start first time, do 
not keep trying but start the procedure

Engine technical data and 
towed loads
Engines
The engine characteristics are given in the 
vehicle's registration document, as well as in 
sales brochures.The maximum power corresponds to the 
value type-approved on a
  test bed, under 
conditions defined in European legislation 
(Directive 1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a
  CITROËN 
dealer or a
  qualified workshop.
Weights and towed loads
The weights and towed loads relating to your 
vehicle are given in the registration document, 
as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also given on the 
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact a   CITROËN 
dealer or a
  qualified workshop. The GTW (Gross Train Weight) and towed load 
values indicated are valid up to a
  maximum 
altitude of 1,000   metres. The towed load value 
must be reduced by 10% for each additional 
1,000   metres of altitude.
The maximum authorised nose weight 
corresponds to the weight permitted on the 
towball.
When exterior temperatures are high, 
the vehicle per formance may be limited 
in order to protect the engine. When the 
exterior temperature is higher than 37°C, 
limit the towed weight.
Towing using a   lightly loaded vehicle can 
adversely affect roadholding.
Braking distances are increased when 
towing a   trailer.
When using a   vehicle to tow, never 
exceed a   speed of approximately 60   mph 
(100
  km/h) (obser ve the local legislation 
in force).
If the exterior temperature is high, it is 
recommended that the engine is allowed 
to idle for 1
  to 2   minutes after the vehicle 
comes to a
  stop, to facilitate its cooling.
