Air conditioning On/Off
The air conditioning is designed to operate e
fficiently in all seasons, with the windows
closed. The
  intake   of   exterior   air   avoids   and   eliminated  m
isting   of   the   windscreen   and   side   windows.

Ignition on position (2)
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric equipment   or   portable   devices   to   be   charged.
Once
  the   state   of   charge   of   the   battery   drops  
t

o   the   reserve   level,   the   system   switches   to  
e

TART   mode.
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

he   system   go   to   a   qualified   workshop
