Starting using another
battery
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a slave battery
(external or on another vehicle) and jump lead
cables 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 slave battery
has a nominal voltage of 12 V and a
minimum capacity 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, ...).
Ensure that the jump lead cables do not
pass close to moving parts of the engine
(cooling fan, belts, ...).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal when
the engine is running. F

R
aise the plastic cover on the (+) terminal,
if your vehicle has one.
F

C
onnect the red cable to the positive
terminal (+) of the flat battery A (at the
metal elbow) then to the positive terminal
(+) of the slave battery B or the booster.
F

C
onnect one end of the green or black
cable to the negative terminal (-) of the
slave battery B or the booster (or earth
point on the other vehicle).
F

C
onnect the other end of the green or black
cable to the earth point C on the broken
down vehicle. F
S tart 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.

174
Charging the battery using
a battery charger
For optimum service life of the battery, it is
essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.
In some circumstances it may be necessary to
charge the battery:
-
I
f you use your vehicle essentially 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.
If you envisage charging your vehicle's
battery yourself, use only a charger
compatible with lead-based batteries of a
nominal voltage of 12 V.
Follow the instructions for use provided by
the charger manufacturer.
Never reverse polarities.
It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery. F

S
witch off the ignition.
F
S
witch off all electricity consuming devices
(audio system, lighting, wipers, etc.).
F
S
witch off the 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 the charger B cables as follows:
-

T
he positive (+) red cable to the (+)
terminal of the battery A .
-

T
he negative (-) black cable to the earth
point C on the vehicle.
F

A
t the end of the charging operation, switch
off the charger B before disconnecting the
cables from the 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.
Never try any 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.
In the event of a breakdown

175
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 service for a long
period.
Before disconnecting the battery:
F
C
lose all openings (doors, boot, windows).
F

S
witch off all electricity consuming devices
(audio system, wipers, lighting, etc.).
F

S
witch off the ignition and wait for four
minutes.
After accessing the battery, you only have to
disconnect the (+) terminal.Rapid lock lug

unlock clamp B .
F

R

179
Engines and
specifications
The engine specifications (displacement, max.
power, max. speed, energy, CO
2 emissions,
etc.) associated with your vehicle are
mentioned in the registration certificate, and in
the commercial documents.
These characteristics correspond to the values
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 stated in the registration certificate,
and in the sales documentation.
These values are also shown on the
manufacturer's nameplate or label.
For more information, contact a
CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The mass in working order is equal to the
weight when empty + driver (75 kg).
The GTW values and the towable loads
listed are valid for a maximum altitude of
1,000


additional metres.
The weight of the braked trailer can be
increased, within the GTW limit, if the GV W
of the towing vehicle is reduced by an equal
amount.
The recommended nose weight corresponds
to the weight permitted on the tow-bar
(dismantlable with or without a tool).
GV W: Gross vehicle weight, the maximum
authorised vehicle weight.
GT W: Gross train weight High ambient temperatures may result
in a reduction in the per formance of the
vehicle to protect the engine. When the
ambient temperature is above 37°C, limit
the weight towed.
Towing with a towing vehicle which is only
slightly laden may negatively affect its
handling.
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not
exceed 62 mph (100 km/h) (comply with
the legislation in force in your country).
When the ambient temperature is high,
leaving the engine running for 1 to
2
minutes after stopping the vehicle to
allow it to cool is recommended.
