Hi Daniel, Re-set as from Citroen forum. PROCEDURE FOR BATTERY DIS-CONNECTION (The 3 Minute Rule) Whenever a vehicle battery has to be dis-connected, switch off all equipment, interior lights etc, close the doors leaving the drivers window open. Switch off the ignition and remove the key and any DIAG equipment. Wait a full 3 minutes before disconnecting the battery. The BSi must be allowed to go to SLEEP i.e. into "power save mode". Do not operate any equipment on the vehicle during this time. Remember, even opening the bonnet will wake the BSi on a vehicle fitted with alarm. If the battery is under the bonnet, open the bonnet first and leave it up. ALWAYS disconnect any DIAG equipment and do not operate any plips from other vehicles during the 3 minute waiting period. PROCEDURE FOR BATTERY RECONNECTION Unless otherwise instructed by Product Service, you must always carry out the following procedure, often referred to as a "soft re-boot", to minimise the possibility of the BSi corrupting its own software when reconnecting the vehicles battery supply. Ensure the procedure for battery disconnection has been adhered to and importantly all BSi functions were switched off with the drivers window left down. 1 Close all doors 2 Remove ignition key if left in ignition 3 Reconnect battery. DO NOT open any doors 4 Wait 10 seconds 5 Switch on headlights through the drivers window (you will hear a "bong") (note: Snap-on says Side-lights) 6 Switch on ignition then start the vehicle and check system functions. Hope this is of some use, Nige
