BAttE rY S tA nd BY SYS t EM
If the vehicle is not to be used for a
prolonged period, such as for winter storage,
for example, it is strongly recommended that
the battery be placed on standby in order to
protect it and optimise its service life. To place the battery on standby:
-

Switch of
f the engine (S t
OP
position).
-
Press the red button, then turn the key

to the BA
tt
position.
The battery goes into standby about
7 minutes later.
This time is necessary to:
-
Allow the user to get out of the vehicle

and lock the doors with the remote
control.
-

Ensure that all of the vehicle's electrical

systems are deactivated.
When the battery is on standby,
access to the vehicle is only possible
by unlocking the vehicle using the key in the
lock barrel in the driver's door.
After placing the battery on standby

,
settings (time, date, radio station
presets...) are memorised. To take the battery out of standby:
-

T
urn the key to the MA r position.
-
Start
the engine normally (AV V
position).

Starting and switching off

43The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - ST OP mode -
during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic
jams, or other...). The engine restarts
automatically - START mode - as soon as
you want to move off. The restart takes
place instantly, quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions and offers the comfort of
complete silence when stationary.
StOP & StA rt
Operation
Going into engine StOP mode
With the vehicle stationary, put the gear
lever into neutral, then release the clutch
pedal.
-

This indicator lamp comes on

in the instrument panel and
the engine goes into standby. Automatic stopping of the engine is
only possible after the vehicle has
exceed a speed of about 6 mph (10 km/h),
to avoid repeated stopping of the engine
when driving slowly.
Never leave your vehicle with out first
turning off the ignition with the key. Never refuel with the engine in ST OP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key. Going into engine S
t
A
rt mode

the vehicle is free wheeling on a

gradient,
-
the windscreen wiper is on fast wipe,
-

the air conditioning is running,
-

the engine has been stopped for around

3 minutes with Stop & Start,
-
some special conditions (battery charge,

engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the
engine is needed to assure control of
a system.
In this case, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by this indicator
lamp, which flashes for a few
seconds, then goes off.
Good practice
With a manual gearbox in STOP mode, if a

depressing the clutch pedal fully and putting
the gear lever into neutral.
Maintenance
Before working under the bonnet, you
must switch off the ignition with the
key to avoid any risk of injury resulting from
automatic operation of START mode.
This system requires a specific battery
with a special specification and technology
(reference numbers available from a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by
CITROËN
introduces the risk of malfunction
of the system.
The Stop & Start system makes use
of advanced technology. Specialist
knowledge is needed for any work on the
system, which can only be assured by
CITROËN dealers. Refer to the "Quick help - Flat battery"
section.
