Reactivation
In the event of a fault with the system,
the "ECO OFF" switch warning lamp flashes
then comes on continuously.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall: all the instrument panel
warning lamps come on. It is then necessary
to switch off the ignition and start the engine
again using the key.
Operating fault Maintenance
This system requires a 12 V battery with a
special specification and technology (reference
numbers available from CITROËN dealers).
Fitting a battery not listed by
CITROËN
introduces the risk of malfunction of
the system.
To charge the battery, use a 12 V charger and
observe the polarity. Before doing anything under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
system to avoid any risk of injury
resulting from automatic operation of
START mode.
The Stop & Start system makes use of
advanced technology. For any work on
the system go to a qualified workshop
with the skills and equipment required,
which a CITROËN dealer is able to
provide.
The system is reactivated automatically
at every new start using the key.
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the switch warning lamp going off and a
message in the screen.
