Operating fault
This system requires the use of a 12 V battery of   specific   technology   and   characteristics  
(

reference   numbers   available   from   a   CITROËN  
d

ealer   or   a   qualified   workshop).
Fitting
  a   battery   not   listed   by   CITROËN would  
i

ntroduces   the   risk   of   faults   with   the   system.
Before
  doing   any   work   under   the  
b

onnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
system   to   avoid   the   risk   of   injury   related  
t

o   an   automatic   change   to   START  
m

ode.
The   Stop   &   Start   system   makes   use   of  
a

n   advanced   technology.   All   work   on  
t

his   type   of   battery   must   only   be   carried

12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
H owever,   check   that   the   terminals   are   clean a

 a

nd   winter.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer to the "12 V battery" section for details of the
precautions
  to   be   taken   before   disconnecting  
t

he   battery   and   following   its   reconnection.Depending
  on   the   environment   (e.g.   dusty  a
tmosphere)   and   the   use   of   the   vehicle  
(e.g.
  city   driving),   replace them twice as often
if necessary .
A
