Disconnecting/reconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state of
charge for starting the engine, we recommend
disconnecting the battery if the vehicle is to be
unused for an extended period.
Before disconnecting the battery:
►  Close all openings (doors, boot, windows,
roof).
►  Switch off all electricity-consuming devices
(audio system, wipers, lamps, etc.).
►  Switch off the ignition and wait for 4 minutes. After accessing the battery, it is only necessary to
disconnect the (+) terminal.

procedure again.
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 with the
vehicle immobilised, the duration of which
depends on the exterior temperature and the
state of charge of the battery (up to about 8
hours).
