12 V battery
Access to the battery
Procedure for starting the engine using another battery or charging a discharged battery.If your vehicle has an automatic
gearbox, do not try to start the engine
by pushing the vehicle.
General points
Lead-acid starter batteries
Batteries contain harmful substances
such as sulphuric acid and lead.
They must be disposed of in
accordance with regulations and must
not, in any circumstances, be discarded
with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries and
vehicle batteries to a special collection
point.Protect your eyes and face before
handling the battery.
All operations on the battery must be
carried out in a well ventilated area and
away from naked flames and sources
of sparks, so as to avoid the risk of
explosion or fire.
Wash your hands after wards.The battery is located under the bonnet.
For access to the (+) terminal:
F
r elease the bonnet using the interior lever,
then the exterior safety catch,
F

r
aise the bonnet and secure it with its stay,
F

l
ift the plastic cover for access to
the
(+) terminal.

F Connect 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
m
inutes.
F
O
perate the starter on the broken down
vehicle and let the engine run.
I
f the engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition and wait a few
moments before trying again.
Starting using another battery
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
F

R

294
If you envisage charging your vehicle's
battery yourself, use only a charger
compatible with lead-acid batteries of a
nominal voltage of 12 V.
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 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
that the internal components have not
been damaged and the casing is not
cracked, which could cause a leak of
toxic and corrosive acid.
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. It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery. Follow the instructions for use provided
by the manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.
F

S
witch off the ignition.
F

S
witch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, lighting, wipers, ...).
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

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

In the event of a breakdown

295
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 electrical consumers (audio
system, wipers, lighting, etc.),
F

s
witch off the ignition and wait for
four
m

inutes.
At the battery, it is only necessary to
disconnect the (+) terminal.
Disconnecting the battery
The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be
available again after a continuous
period of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a period which depends on the exterior
temperature and the state of charge of
the battery (up to about 8 hours).
F

Ra

ise the lever A fully.
F

R

efit the open clamp B on the (+)
terminal.
F

P

F

L

ower the lever A to lock the clamp B
.
Do not force the lever as locking
will not be possible if the clamp is
not positioned correctly; start the
procedure again.
Following reconnection of the
battery
After reconnecting the battery, switch on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting to
allow initialisation of the electronic systems.
However, if minor problems persist following
this operation, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you
must yourself initialise or reset certain systems,
such as:
-

t
he one-touch electric windows,
-

t
he date and time,
-

t
he settings of the audio system or of the
satellite navigation system.
