- Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative (-) terminal of the slave battery,

- Connect the other end of the green or black cable to an earth point on the broken down vehicle as far as possible from the battery,

- Operate the starter, let the engine run,

- Wait for the engine to return to idle, then disconnect the cables.

ECONOMY MODE

After the engine has stopped, with the key in the ignition position, certain functions

(windscreen wiper, electric windows, courtesy lights, audio equipment, etc.) can only be used for a cumulative duration of thirty minutes, to prevent discharging of the battery.

It is advisable to disconnect the battery if the vehicle is not to be used for a period of more than one month.

Before disconnecting the battery, you must wait for 2 minutes after switching off the ignition.

Never disconnect a terminal when the engine is running.

Never charge a battery without first disconnecting the terminals.

After every reconnection of the battery, switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute before starting to allow the electronic systems to be initialised. If slight difficulties are experienced after this, please contact a

CITROËN dealer.

Once the thirty minutes are over, the active functions are put on standby and the battery warning light flashes accompanied by a message on the display.

To resume the use of these functions immediately, start the engine and let it run for a few minutes.

The time available will then be double the time for which the engine was left running.

However, this time will always be between five and thirty minutes.

A flat battery will prevent the engine from starting.
