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, tailgate, windows).
► Switch o󰀨 all electricity-consuming devices
(audio system, wipers, lamps, etc.).
► Switch o󰀨 the ignition and wait for 4 minutes.
After accessing the battery, it is only necessary
to disconnect the (+) terminal.
Quick-release terminal clamp
Disconnecting the (+) terminal
► Depending on equipment, lift the plastic cover
on the (+) terminal.
► Raise lever A fully to release clamp B.
► Remove clamp B by lifting it o󰀨.
Reconnecting the (+) terminal
► Raise lever A fully.
► Ret open clamp B on the (+) terminal.
► Push clamp B fully down.
► Lower lever A to lock clamp B.
► Depending on equipment, lower the plastic
cover on the (+) terminal.
Do not force the lever when pressing on
it, as if the clamp is not positioned
correctly, locking will then not be possible.
Start the procedure again.
Following 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 or a
qualied workshop.
