Access to the battery

Procedure for charging your battery when it is flat or for starting the engine using another battery and jump leads.

remove the retaining pins A,

remove the protective cover B,

remove the retaining pins C,

remove the air duct D.

General

If your vehicle has an automatic
gearbox, do not try to start the engine
by pushing the vehicle.

The batteries contain harmful
substances such as sulphuric acid and
lead.
They must be disposed of in
accordance with regulations and must
not, in any circumstances, be discarded
with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries and
vehicle batteries to a special collection
point.

Before handling the battery, protect
your eyes and face.
All work on the battery must be carried
out in a ventilated area and away from
naked flames or sources of sparks, to
avoid any risk of explosion and fire.
Wash your hands when you have
finished.

212

In the event of a breakdown

C4-Aircross_en_Chap08_En-cas-de-panne_ed01-2016

Check the electrolyte level and top up if
necessary.
For more information on Checking levels,
refer to the corresponding section.

Starting using another
battery

Connect the red cable to the (+) terminal of

the flat battery A

, then to the (+) terminal of

the slave battery B

Connect one end of the green or black

cable to the (-) terminal of the slave
battery B

Connect the other end of the green or black

cable to the earth point C on your vehicle
(engine mounting).

Operate the starter, let the engine run.

Wait until the engine returns to idle and

disconnect the cables.

F Raise the protective cover on

the (+) terminal.

Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.

213

In the event of a breakdown

C4-Aircross_en_Chap08_En-cas-de-panne_ed01-2016

If you intend to charge your vehicle's
battery yourself, use only a charger
compatible with lead batteries, with a
nominal voltage of 12 V.

Disconnect the battery from the vehicle, if

necessary.

Follow the instructions for use provided by

the manufacturer of the charger.

Reconnect, starting with the (-) terminal.

Check that the terminals and connectors

are clean. If they are covered with sulphate
(whitish or greenish deposit), remove them
and clean them.

Charging the battery using
a battery charger

Follow the instructions for use provided
by the manufacturer of the charger.
Never invert the polarities.

Never start the engine by connecting a
battery charger.
Never use a battery booster of 24 V or
higher.
Check first that the slave battery has a
nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity
at least equal to that of the discharged
battery.
The two vehicles must not touch.
Switch off all power-consuming
equipment on the two vehicles (audio
system, wipers, lamps, etc.).
Ensure that the slave cables do not
pass near the moving parts of the
engine (fan, belt, etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while
the engine is running.

214

In the event of a breakdown

C4-Aircross_en_Chap08_En-cas-de-panne_ed01-2016

Do not invert the polarities and use only a 12 V charger.
Do not disconnect the terminals while the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries without disconnecting the terminals first.
Do not push the vehicle to start the engine if it is fitted with a CVT gearbox.

Disconnecting the battery

To maintain a sufficient level of charge
to start the engine, it is advisable to
disconnect the battery if the vehicle is not
going to be used for a very long period.
Before disconnecting the battery:
F

Close all the doors and windows,

the tailgate and the roof.

Switch off all power-consuming

equipment (audio system, wipers,
lamps, etc.).

Switch off the ignition and wait

4 minutes.

Once you have gained access to
the battery, start by disconnecting
the (-) terminal.

Following reconnection of the
battery

Following reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute
before starting to permit initialisation of the
electronic systems.
However, if problems remain following this
operation, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you
must reinitialise certain equipment yourself,
such as:
- The remote control key or the electronic

key (depending on version).

-  The electric blind(s).
-  The electric windows.
-  The date and time.
-  The stored radio stations.

Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.

Never try to charge a frozen battery.
If the battery has been frozen, have
it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop, who will check that
the internal components have not been
damaged and the casing is not cracked,
which could cause a leak of toxic and
corrosive acid.

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).

Petrol weights and towed loads (kg)

The values for approved towed weights vary
according to the sales zone (see the tables on
the following pages).
The exact values are given in your vehicle's
registration document as well as on the
manufacturer's plate.
They are also mentioned in sales brochures.
For more details, contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.

The kerb weight is equal to the unladen
weight + driver (75 kg).

The GTW and towed load values indicated are
valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres;
the towed load mentioned must be reduced
by 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of
altitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed
62 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation
in force in your country).
High exterior temperatures may result in a
reduction in the performance of the vehicle to
protect the engine; if the exterior temperature is
above 37 °C, limit the towed load.

The weight of the braked trailer can be
increased, within the GTW limit, if the
GVW of the towing vehicle is reduced
by an equal amount. Please note that
towing using a lightly loaded towing
vehicle may have an adverse effect
on its road holding
