In the event of a breakdown

Battery

Procedure for starting the engine using another
battery or charging a discharged battery.
The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specification;
the involvement of a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop is essential when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.
Failure to observe these recommendations
may cause premature wear of the battery.
After refitting the battery, the Stop & Start
will only be active after a continuous
period of immobilisation of the vehicle, the
duration of which depends on the climatic
conditions and the state of charge of the
battery (up to about 8 hours).
The Stop & Start battery does not have to
be disconnected for charging.

F Connect the other end of the green or black
cable to an earth point on the broken down
vehicle, as far away as possible from the
battery.
F Operate the starter, let the engine run.
F Wait for the engine to return to idle, then
disconnect the cables.
It is advisable to disconnect the battery if
the vehicle is to be left unused for more
than one month.
Wait 2 minutes after switching off the ignition
before disconnecting the battery.
Never disconnect a terminal when the engine
is running.
Never charge a battery without first
disconnecting the terminals.
After each time that the battery has been
reconnected, switch on the ignition and wait
1 minute before starting the engine, to allow
the electronic systems to initialise. However,
if minor problems persist after this procedure,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
After changing a bulb, wait approximately
3 minutes before reconnecting the battery.
