Disconnecting the (+) terminal
F Raise the lever A fully to release the
clamp B.
F Remove the clamp B by lifting it off.
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).
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
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 remote control or electronic key
(depending on version),
- the electric windows,
- the date and time,
- the radio preset stations.
Following reconnection of the battery
Reconnecting the (+) terminal
F Raise the lever A fully.
