The presence of this label, in
particular with the Stop & Start
system, indicates the use of a
12 V lead-acid battery with spe-
cial technology and specifi cation;
the involvement of a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop is
essential when replacing or dis-
connecting the battery.
Failure to observe this recom-
mendation may cause prema-
ture wear of the battery.
After refi tting the battery by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop, the Stop & Start sys-
tem will only be active after a
continuous period of immobilisa-
tion of the vehicle, a period which
depends on the climatic condi-
tions and the state of charge of
the battery (up to about 8 hours).
