When your vehicle's  battery  is  dis -
charged,  the  engine  can  be  started  
using

 
a
 
slave
 
battery
 
(external
 
or
 
on
 
another

  vehicle)   and   jump   lead   cables.

12 V
BATTERY
The battery  is  located  under  the   bonnet.
For   access   to   the   (+)   terminal:
F
 
release
 
the
 
bonnet
 
using
 
the
 
interior
 
lever

,  
then
 
the
 
exterior
 
safety
 
catch,
F

 
raise
 
the
 
bonnet
 
and
 
secure
 
it
 
with
 
its stay

,
F

lift the plastic cover for access to
the (+)

  terminal.
Access to the battery
The presence of this label, in
particular with the Stop & Start
system, 
indicates
 
the
 
use
 
of
 
a 12 

V  
lead-acid
 
battery
 
with
 
spe
-
cial
 
technology
 
and
 
specification; the

 
involvement
 
of
 
a
 
CITROËN dealer

 
or
 
a
 
qualified
 
workshop
 
is essential

 
when
 
replacing
 
or
 
dis
-
connecting
  the   battery.
Procedure
 
for
 
starting
 
the
 
engine
  
using
 
another

 
battery
 
or
 
charging
 
a
 
dis
-
charged   battery.
After  
refitting
 
the
 
battery
,  
the
 
Stop

 
&
 
Start
 
system
 
will
 
only
 
be
 
active

 
after
 
a
 
continuous
 
period
 
of

 
immobilisation
 
of
 
the
 
vehicle,
 
a

 
period
 
which
 
depends
 
on
 
the
 
climatic

 
conditions
 
and
 
the
 
state
 
of

 
charge
 
of
 
the
 
battery
 
(up
 
to
 
about

  8   hours). First
 check  that  the  slave  battery  has
 a  nominal  voltage  of  12  V  
and

 
a
 
capacity
 
at
 
least
 
equal
 
to
 
that

  of   the   discharged   battery.
Do
 
not
 
try
 
to
 
start
 
the
 
engine
 
by
 
connecting

  a   battery   charger.
Do
 
not
 
disconnect
 
the
 
(+)

LOAD REDUCTION MODE
System which manages  the  use  of  cer -

charge

  remaining   in   the   battery.
When the vehicle  is  being  driven,  the  load
 reduction  function  temporarily  de -

permit.
ENERGY ECONOMY MODE
System which manages  the  period  of  use of certain functions to conserve a
sufficient
  level   of   charge   in   the   battery.
After
 
the
