Charging the battery using
a battery charger
For optimum service life of the battery, it is essential to maintain an adequate state of
c
harge.
In
some circumstances it may be necessary to
c
harge the battery:
-
i
f you use your vehicle essentially for short
j
ourneys,
-
i
f the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
s
everal weeks.
Contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop. Never
try to charge a frozen battery.
If the battery has been frozen, have
it
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.
If
you envisage charging your vehicle's
b
attery yourself, use only a charger
c
ompatible with lead-acid batteries of a
n
ominal voltage of 12 V.
If this label is present, it is essential
to
use only a 12 V charger, to avoid
c
ausing irreversible damage to the
e
lectrical components related to the
S
top & Start system. Follow
the instructions for use provided
b
y the manufacturer of the charger.
Never
reverse polarities.
It
is not necessary to disconnect the
b
attery.
F
S
witch off the ignition.
F
S
witch off all electrical consumers (audio
s
ystem, lighting, wipers, ...).
F
S
witch off the charger B before connecting
t
he cables to the battery, so as to avoid any
d
angerous
spar
ks.
F
E
nsure that the charger cables are in good
c
ondition.
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
p
oint C on the vehicle.
F
A
t the end of the charging operation, switch
o
ff the charger B before disconnecting the
c
ables from the battery A.

Disconnecting the (+) terminal
F Raise the lever A fully to release the clamp B.
Reconnecting the (+) terminal
F Position the open clamp B of the cable on
the positive post (+) of the battery.
F
P
ress down on the clamp to position it
c
orrectly on the battery post.
F
L
ock the clamp by lowering the lever A.
Do
not force the lever as locking will
n
ot be possible if the clamp is not
p
ositioned correctly; start the procedure
ag
ain.
Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state of charge for starting the engine, it is
r
ecommended that the battery be disconnected
i
f the vehicle is taken out of service for a long
p
eriod.
Wait
2 minutes after switching off the ignition
b
efore disconnecting the battery:
F
c
lose all openings (doors, boot, windows,
r
oof),
F
s
witch off all electrical consumers (audio
s
ystem, wipers, lighting, ...),
F
s
witch off the ignition and wait for
f
our minutes.
Having
exposed the battery, it is only
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
a
llow initialisation of the electronic systems.
However,
if minor problems persist following
t
his operation, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified
w
orkshop.
Referring
to the corresponding section, you
m
ust yourself reinitialise or reset certain
s
ystems, such as:
-
t
he remote control,
-
t
he date and time,
-
t
he radio preset stations.
Quick release terminal
The Stop & Start system may not be operational during the trip following the
f
irst engine start.
In
this case, the system will only be
a
vailable again after a continuous
p
eriod of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a
period which depends on the ambient
t
emperature and the state of charge of
t
he battery (up to about 8 hours).

System which manages the duration of use of certain functions to retain a sufficient level of
charge
in the battery.
After
the engine has stopped, you can
s
till use functions such as the audio and
t
elematics system, windscreen wipers, dipped
b
eam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for
a
maximum combined duration of about

Electrical energy economy mode
Switching to economy mode
Once this time has elapsed, a message appears in the screen indicating that the
v
ehicle has switched to economy mode and the
a
ctive functions are put on standby.
If
a telephone call is being made at this time,
it
will be maintained for around 10 minutes with
t
he Bluetooth hands-free system of your audio
s
ystem.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically n ext time the vehicle is driven.
F
T
o restore these functions immediately,
s
tart the engine and let it run for at least
f
ive
m
inutes.
A
flat battery prevents the engine from
s
tarting (refer to the corresponding
s
ection).
Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain functions according to the level of charge
r
emaining in the battery.
When
the vehicle is being driven, the load
r
eduction function temporarily deactivates
c
ertain functions, such as the air conditioning,
t
he heated rear screen...
The
deactivated functions are reactivated
a
utomatically as soon as conditions permit.
