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

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.

restart
 
the
 
engine
 
using
 
t

he
