12 V battery

The battery is located under the bonnet.
To gain access to it:
F

open the bonnet using the interior release

lever, then the exterior safety catch,

F secure the bonnet stay,
F

lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal.

Access to the battery

Procedure for starting the engine using another battery or charging a discharged battery.

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 afterwards.

Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out
only by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

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.

With an electronic gearbox, do not try to
start the engine by pushing the vehicle.

The (-) battery terminal is not accessible.
A remote earth point is located on the right-
hand front wing.

214

In the event of a breakdown

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.

Starting using another battery

Raise the plastic cover on the (+) terminal,

if your vehicle has one.

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.

Connect 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).

Connect the other end of the green or black

cable to the earth point C

on the broken

down vehicle.

Start the engine of the vehicle with the

good battery and leave it running for a few
minutes.

Operate the starter on the broken down

vehicle and let the engine run.

If the engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition and wait a few moments
before trying again.

Never try to start the engine by
connecting a battery charger.
Never use a 24 V or higher battery
booster.
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.

Wait until the engine returns to idle then

disconnect the jump lead cables in the
reverse order.

Refit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal, if

your vehicle has one.

Allow 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.

215

In the event of a breakdown

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:
- if you use your vehicle essentially for short

journeys,

- if 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.

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.

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.

Follow the instructions for use provided
by the manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.

Switch off the ignition.

Switch off all electrical consumers (audio

system, lighting, wipers, ...).

Switch off the charger B before connecting

the cables to the battery, so as to avoid any
dangerous sparks.

Ensure that the charger cables are in good

condition.

Connect the charger B cables as follows:

- the positive (+) red cable to the (+)

terminal of the battery A,

- the negative (-) black cable to the earth

point C

on the vehicle.

At the end of the charging operation, switch

off the charger B before disconnecting the
cables from the battery A.

216

In the event of a breakdown

Do not force the lever as locking will
not be possible if the clamp is not
positioned correctly; start the procedure
again.

Quick release terminal

Disconnecting the (+) terminal

F Raise the lever A fully to release the

clamp B.

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 ambient
temperature and the state of charge of
the battery (up to about 8 hours).

It is recommended that the battery be
disconnected if the vehicle is not to be used
for a very long period, so as to maintain an
adequate state of charge for starting the
engine.
Before disconnecting the battery:
F

close all openings (doors, boot, windows,

roof),

switch off all electrical consumers (audio

system, wipers, lighting...),

switch off the ignition and then wait

four minutes.

At the battery, simply detach the (+) terminal.

Disconnecting the battery

Following reconnection of the battery, switch on
the ignition and wait 1 minute before starting to
permit initialisation of the electronic systems.
However, if problems remain following this
operation, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you
must yourself reinitialise (depending on
version):
- the remote control key,
- ...

Following reconnection of the battery

Reconnecting the (+) terminal

Position the open clamp B of the cable on

the positive post (+) of the battery.

Press down on the clamp to position it

correctly on the battery post.

Lock the clamp by lowering the lever A.

217

In the event of a breakdown
