Reconnecting the (+) terminal
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.
Disconnecting 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:
F close all openings (doors, boot, windows),
F switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, wipers, lighting, ...),
F switch off the ignition and wait for
four minutes.
Having exposed the battery, it is only
necessary to disconnect the (+) terminal.
Following reconnection of the
battery
After reconnecting the battery, switch on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting the
engine 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 reinitialise or reset certain
systems, such as:
- the remote control,
- the electric windows,
- the panoramic sunroof blind,
- the date and time in the audio system,
- the radio preset stations.
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).
* Depending on version.
