Video tutorial

In this video, you will learn how to restart a battery located in a really awkward position, such as that of the Citroen C4. In standard cars, the battery is in a clearly visible position, allowing you to connect the jump leads intuitively, with both terminals accessible.

However, this is not the case with the Citroen C4, where under the front bonnet you only have the positive terminal - meaning you can only connect the red clamp - while the negative terminal is located at the bottom of the engine, which can be dangerous to locate as you might accidentally touch some electrical wires.

Therefore, it is better to find a suitable place that does not cause problems, like this black metal bridge shown by our YouTuber.

Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
