Maintenance
In the event of a malfunction with the system, the "ECO OFF" switch warning lamp flashes,
t
hen comes on continuously.
Ha
ve it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified
w
orkshop.
Operating fault
This system requires a specific battery with a special specification and technology
(
reference numbers available from a CITROËN
d
ealer or a qualified workshop).
Fitting
a battery not listed by CITROËN
i
ntroduces the risk of malfunction of the
s
ystem. Before
doing anything under the
b
onnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
s
ystem to avoid any risk of injury
r
esulting from automatic operation of
S
TART mode.
The Stop & Start system makes use
o
f advanced technology. All work on
t
his type of battery must be done only
b
y a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop.
In
the
event
of
a
fault
in
STOP
mode,
the
v
ehicle
may
stall.
All
of
the
instrument
p
anel
warning
lamps
come
on.
Depending
on
version,
an
alert
m
essage
may
also
be
displayed
asking
y
ou
to
put
the
gear
lever
into
position
N
and
put
your
foot
on
the
brake
pedal.
It is then necessary to switch off the
ignition,
then
restart
the
engine
using
t
he
key
or
the
"START/STOP"
button.
Reactivation
The system is reactivated automatically a t every new start using the key or the
"
START/STOP" button.
Press the "ECO OFF"
switch again.

This
system
is

before
deciding
whether
to
