Disconnecting/Reconnecting
the cables
The presence of this label, in
particular with the Stop & Start
system, indicates the use of
a 12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specifi ca-
tion, for which the involvement of a
CITROËN dealer is required when re-
placing or disconnecting the battery.
Failure to observe this recommenda-
tion may cause premature wear of the
battery.
After refi tting the battery, the Stop &
Start system will only be active after
a continuous period of immobilisa-
tion of the vehicle, a period which
depends on the climatic conditions
and the state of charge of the bat-
tery (up to about 8 hours).

ble on the positive (+) terminal of
the battery.
 Press vertically on the clip 2 to
position it correctly against the
battery.
