DRIVING
In the event of a fault with the sys-
tem, the "ECO OFF"
switch warning
lamp fl ashes then comes on con-
tinuously.
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: all the instru-
ment panel warning lamps come on.
It is then necessary to switch off the
ignition and start the engine again
using the key.


Operating fault


The Stop & Start system
makes use of advanced tech-
nology. For any work on the sys-
tem go to a qualifi ed workshop with
the skills and equipment required,
which a CITROËN dealer is able to
provide.

Before doing anything under
the bonnet, deactivate the
Stop & Start system to avoid
any risk of injury resulting from au-
tomatic operation of START mode.


Maintenance

This system requires a 12 V battery
with a special specifi cation and tech-
nology (reference numbers available
from CITROËN dealers).
Fitting a battery not listed by
CITROËN introduces the risk of mal-
function of the system.
To charge the battery, use a 12 V
charger and observe the polarity.
