233
If you envisage charging your vehicle's battery   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.
Charging the battery using
a battery charger
For optimum service life of the battery, it is e
ssential   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. It
  is   not   necessary   to   disconnect   the  
b

attery.
F
 
S
witch   off   the   ignition.
F
 
S

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
 
C
onnect   the   charger   B   cables   as   follows:
-
 
t
he   positive   (+)   red   cable   to   the   (+)  
t

erminal   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. Never
  try   to   charge   a   frozen   battery.
If the battery has been frozen, have
it
  checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or  
a

  qualified   workshop,   who   will   check  
t

hat   the   internal   components   have   not  
b

een   damaged   and   the   casing   is   not  
c

racked,   which   could   cause   a   leak   of  
t

oxic   and   corrosive   acid.
Practical information

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   (for   Cabrio   versions)),
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   electric   windows,
-
 
t
he   date   and   time,
-
 
t
he   radio   preset   stations.

di
sconnecting 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

  Stop   &   Start   system   may   not   be  
o

perational   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).
Do
  not   force   the   lever   as   locking
