In the event of a breakdown
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:
F close all openings (doors, boot, windows),
F switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, wipers, lighting, etc.),
F switch off the ignition and wait for
four minutes.
At the battery, it is only necessary to
disconnect the (+) terminal.
Disconnecting the battery
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 exterior
temperature and the state of charge of
the battery (up to about 8 hours).
F Raise the lever A fully.
F Refit the open clamp B on the (+) terminal.
F Push the clamp B fully down.
F Lower the lever A to lock the clamp B.
Do not force the lever as locking
will not be possible if the clamp is
not positioned correctly; start the
procedure again.
Following reconnection of the
battery
After reconnecting the battery, switch on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting to
allow initialisation of the electronic systems.
However, if minor problems persist following
this operation, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you
must yourself initialise or reset certain systems,
such as:
- the one-touch electric windows,
- the date and time,
- the settings of the audio system or of the
satellite navigation system.
Quick-release terminal clamp
F Raise the lever A fully to release the clamp B.
F Remove the clamp B by lifting it off.
