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 booster.
Check beforehand that the back-up 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 all the electrical consumers on both
vehicles (audio system, wipers, lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are not close
to moving parts of the engine (fan, belts, etc.).

cable to earth point C

on the broken down
vehicle.
►

Start the engine of the vehicle with the good
battery and leave it running for a few minutes.
►


Operate 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.
►

W
ait until the engine returns to idle then

order.
►

Refit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal, if
your vehicle has one.
►


Allow 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 service life of the battery, it is
essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.

123
In the event of a breakdown
8In some circumstances, it may be necessary to
charge the battery:
–
using the vehicle mainly for short journeys;
–


if the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
To charge the 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.

24v 12v
If this label is present, use only a 12 V
charger to avoid causing irreversible
damage to the electrical components related
to the Stop & Start system.
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 verify that the internal components
have not been damaged and that the case
has not cracked, which would mean a risk of
toxic and corrosive acid leaking.
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:
