12 V battery

Lead-acid starter batteries

These batteries contain harmful 

substances (sulphuric acid and lead).

They must be disposed at authorized dealer/

battery shop in accordance with regulations 

and must never under 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.

Use goggles and gloves while working with 

the battery. Diluted sulphuric acid spilled from 

battery can cause blindness or severe burns. 

Flush eyes or body with ample water and get 

medical care immediately if suffered. 

Keep batteries out of the reach of children. 

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 any risk of explosion or fire.

Wash your hands afterwards.

If the battery fails (after warranty 

coverage), replace it with a battery of the 

same specification as the one used in the 

vehicle. 

Access to the battery

The battery is located under the bonnet.

Naturally Aspirated engine version

 

 

(+)

 Positive terminal.

(-)

 Negative terminal.

Turbo engine version

 

 

(+)

 Positive terminal.

(-)

 Negative terminal.

A remote earth point is located near the battery.

Starting using another 

battery

If the vehicle's battery is flat/drain/discharged, 

the engine can be started using a backup battery 

(either external or from another vehicle) and 

jump leads or using a battery booster.

Never start the engine by connecting a 

battery charger.

Never use a 24 V or higher battery booster.

Check beforehand that the backup battery 

has a nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity 

57

In the event of a breakdown

8

at least equal to that of the discharged 

battery.

The two vehicles must not be in contact with 

each other.

Switch off all electricity-consuming equipment 

on both vehicles (audio system, wipers, 

lighting, etc.).

Make sure that the jump leads are well away 

from the engine’s moving parts (fan, belt, 

etc.).

Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while the 

engine is running.

During jump start, extra care should be taken 

to ensure right terminals are connected. If 

terminal connections are reversed, it will 

lead to failure of alternator & other electrical, 

electronic components. 

Never power electrical or electronic 

components directly from battery terminals 

as it will lead to poor battery charging, poor 

performance of components and battery 

sensor malfunction, which will impact fuel 

economy. 

For Naturally Aspirated engine version

 

 

►  Lift the cover on the (+) terminal, if the vehicle 

has one.

►  Connect the red cable to the (+) terminal 

of flat battery 

A

, then to the (+) terminal of the 

backup battery 

B

 or of the booster.

►  Connect one end of the green or black cable 

to the (-) terminal of the backup battery 

B

 or of 

the booster (or to an earth point on the assisting 

vehicle).

►  Connect the other end of the green or black 

cable to the (-) terminal of flat battery 

A

.

►  Start the engine on the assisting vehicle 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 immediately, switch 

off the ignition and wait a few moments before 

trying again.

►  Wait for it to return to idle.

►  Disconnect the jump leads 

in reverse order

: 

first remove (-) terminal then (+) terminal.

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

vehicle has one.

►  Allow the engine to run for at least 

30 minutes, with the vehicle stationary, so that 

the battery reaches an adequate state of charge.

For Turbo engine version

 

 

The negative cable must be connected to 

the car ground (not to the battery 

negative terminal) so that the battery sensor 

can detect all charging and discharging 

currents.

►  Lift the cover on the (+) terminal, if the vehicle 

has one.

►  Connect the red cable to the (+) terminal of 

flat battery 

A

 (at the metal elbow), then to the 

(+) terminal of the backup battery 

B

 or of the 

booster.

►  Connect one end of the green or black cable 

to the (-) terminal of the backup battery 

B

 or of 

58

In the event of a breakdown

the booster (or to an earth point on the assisting 

vehicle).

►  Connect the other end of the green or black 

cable to the earth point 

C

 on the broken down 

vehicle.

►  Start the engine on the assisting vehicle 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 immediately, switch 

off the ignition and wait a few moments before 

trying again.

►  Wait for it to return to idle.

►  Disconnect the jump leads 

in reverse order

: 

first remove (-) terminal then (+) terminal..

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

vehicle has one.

►  Allow the engine to run for at least 

30 minutes, with the vehicle stationary, so that 

the battery reaches an adequate state of charge.

Driving immediately without having 

reached a sufficient level of charge may 

affect some of the vehicle's functionalities.

Disconnecting/removing the 

battery

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:

►  Close all openings (doors, boot, windows).

►  Switch off all electrical consumers (audio 

system, wipers, lighting, etc.).

►  Switch off the ignition and wait for 4 minutes.

 

 

Naturally Aspirated engine version

 

 

Turbo engine version

►  Disconnect the negative cable.

►  Disconnect the positive cable.

►  Remove the mounting bracket if you need to 

remove the battery.

Be careful not to cause accidental short 

circuits between the positive and 

negative battery terminals. 

Do not allow smoking, sparks or flames 

around fuel or the battery. 

After reconnection

After reconnecting the battery, turn on the 

ignition and wait 1 minute before starting the 

engine, to enable the electronic systems to 

initialise.

If minor problems nevertheless persist following 

this operation, contact a CITROËN dealer.

Referring to the relevant section, initialise or 

reset certain equipment:

–  Date and time.

–  Preset radio stations.

Towing the vehicle

General recommendations

Observe the legislation in force in the 

country where you are driving.

Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is 

higher than that of the towed vehicle.

The driver must remain at the wheel of the 

towed vehicle and must have a valid driving 

licence.

59

In the event of a breakdown

8

When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on 

the ground, always use an approved towing 

arm; rope and straps are prohibited.

The towing vehicle must move off gently.

When the vehicle is towed with its engine 

off, there is no longer braking and steering 

assistance.

A professional towing service must be 

called if:

–  Broken down on a motorway or main road.

–  Not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, 

unlock the steering, or release the parking 

brake.

–  Towing with only two wheels on the ground.

–  No approved towbar available.

Access to the tools

 

 

The towing eye is stored under the boot floor 

carpet.

Towing your vehicle

To access the front screw thread:

 

 

►  Remove the cover.

To be towed:

►  Screw the towing eye in fully.

►  Install the towbar.

►  Put the gearbox into neutral.

Failure to observe this instruction could 

result in damage to certain components 

(braking, transmission, etc.) and to the 

absence of braking assistance the next time 

the engine is started.

►  Unlock the steering and release the parking 

brake.

►  Switch on the hazard warning lamps on both 

vehicles.

►  Move off gently, drive slowly and only for a 

short distance.
