stationary
  or   at   speeds   below   5   mph  
(

8 km/h)   (depending   on   version),   in   neutral  
(

This   system   requires   a   12   V   battery   with   a  
s

pecial   specification   and   technology   (reference  
n

umbers   available   from   CITROËN   dealers).
Fitting   a   battery   not   listed   by   CITROËN  
i

ntroduces   the   risk   of   malfunction   of   the  
s

ystem.
For   charging,   use   a   12   V   charger   and   do   not  r
everse   the   polarity.
Maintenance
The Stop & Start system makes use of a
dvanced   technology.   For   any   work   on  
t

In good or rainy weather, both day and   night,   the   front   foglamps   and   the  
r

ear   foglamp   are   prohibited.   In   these  
s

ituations,   the   power   of   their   beams  
m

ay   dazzle   other   drivers.   They   should  
o

nly   be   used   in   fog   or   snow.
In
  these   weather   conditions,   it   is   your  
r

esponsibility   to   switch   on   the   foglamps  
a

nd   dipped   beam   headlamps   manually  
a

s   the   sunshine   sensor   may   detect  
s

ufficient   light.
Do
  not   forget   to   switch   off   the   front  
f

oglamps   and   the   rear   foglamp   when  
t

hey   are   no   longer   necessary.Switching off the lamps
when the ignition is
switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of the lamps turn   off   immediately,   except   for   dipped   beam i

f   guide-me-home   lighting   is   activated.
Switching on the lamps
after the ignition is
switched off
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate the   ring   to   the   "0"  position   -   lamps   off,  
t

hen   to   the   desired   position.
On
  opening   the   driver's   door   a  
t

emporary   audible   signal   warns   the  
d

river   that   the   lighting   is   on.
The
  lamps,   with   the   exception   of   the  
s

idelamps,   switch   off   automatically   after  
a

  maximum   duration   of   thirty   minutes   to  
p

revent   discharging   of   the   battery.

 o

f   the   battery   (up   to   about   8   hours).
Before doing any work
Immobilise the vehicle: apply the parking   brake,   put   the   gearbox   in
