Charging the battery using
a battery charger
For optimum service life of the battery, it is essential  to  maintain  an  adequate  state  of Â
c
harge.
In
 some  circumstances  it  may  be  necessary  to Â
c
harge  the  battery:
-
Â
i
f  you  use  your  vehicle  essentially  for  short Â
j
ourneys,
-
Â
i
f  the  vehicle  is  to  be  taken  off  the  road  for Â
s
everal  weeks.
Contact
 a  CITROËN  dealer  or  a  qualified Â
w
orkshop. Never
 try  to  charge  a  frozen  battery.
If the battery has been frozen, have
it
 checked  by  a  CITROËN  dealer  or  a Â
q
ualified  workshop,  who  will  check  that Â
t
he  internal  components  have  not  been Â
d
amaged  and  the  casing  is  not  cracked, Â
w
hich  could  cause  a  leak  of  toxic  and Â
c
orrosive  acid.
If
 you  envisage  charging  your  vehicle's Â
b
attery  yourself,  use  only  a  charger Â
c
ompatible  with  lead-acid  batteries  of  a Â
n
ominal  voltage  of  12  V.
If this label is present, it is essential
to
 use  only  a  12  V  charger,  to  avoid Â
c
ausing  irreversible  damage  to  the Â
e
lectrical  components  related  to  the Â
S
top  &  Start  system. Follow
 the  instructions  for  use  provided Â

Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state of  charge  for  starting  the  engine,  it  is Â
r
ecommended  that  the  battery  be  disconnected Â
i
f  the  vehicle  is  taken  out  of  service  for  a  long Â

Having
 exposed  the  battery,  it  is  only Â
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 Â
