DRIVING
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the system,
the "ECO OFF"
switch warning lamp
fl ashes then comes on continuously.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode,
the vehicle may stall. It is then neces-
sary to switch off the ignition and start
the engine again using the key.
Before doing anything under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop &
Start system to avoid any risk of
injury resulting from automatic
operation of START mode.
Maintenance
This system requires a battery with a
special specifi cation and technology
(reference numbers available from a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop).
Fitting a battery not listed by
CITROËN introduces the risk of mal-
function of the system.
The Stop & Start system makes
use of advanced technology. All
work on this type of battery must
be done by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

Batter
y
The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check that the terminals
are clean and correctly tightened,
particularly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery, re-
fer to the "Practical information" section for
details of the precautions to be taken before
disconnecting the battery and following its
reconnection.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
intervals for these components.
Depending on the environment
(e.g. dusty atmosphere) and
the use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving),
replace them twice as often if neces-
sary
(refer to the "Engines" section).
A clogged passenger compartment fi lter
may have an adverse effect on the per-
formance of the air conditioning system
and generate undesirable odours.
Oil filter

the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
interval for this component.
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-

components in accordance with the servic-
ing booklet and according to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a specifi c 12 V lead-acid bat-
tery with special technology and speci-
fi cation, for which the involvement of a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop is required when replacing or dis-
connecting the battery.
Failure to observe this recommendation
may shorten the life of the battery. The additive reservoir low
level is indicated by fi xed illu-
mination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible warning and
a message in the multifunction screen.

at the same time on the MyWay
audio navigation system, it will
be interrupted after 10 minutes.

use of certain functions to conserve a
suffi cient level of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can

beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc.
for a maximum combined period of
thirty minutes.
This period may be greatly reduced if
the battery is not fully charged.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated auto-
matically the next time the vehicle is
driven.

In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, start the en-
gine and let it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be dou-
ble the period for which the engine is left
running. However, this period will always
be between fi ve and thirty minutes.
