Battery
Procedure for charging your battery when it is flat or for starting the engine using another 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 this recommendation
may cause premature wear of
the battery.
After refitting the battery by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop, 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).
Access to the battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.
To gain access to it:
open the bonnet using the interior release
lever, then the exterior safety catch,
secure the bonnet stay,
lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal.
