stationary and your foot on the brake, when
you put the gear lever into neutral and
release the clutch pedal.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key or the START/STOP
button. When the engine is stopped
automatically, the operation of certain
vehicle systems, such as braking
and power steering for example, are
modified. Ta k e c a r e .

system,
-
the "AS &G" warning lamp is

The Stop & Start (Auto Stop & Go) system puts the engine temporarily into standby during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.). The engine
restarts automatically as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start (Auto Stop & Go) system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
If you move the gear lever, the "AS &G"
warning lamp flashes, accompanied by
an audible signal.
The alert stops as soon as the gear
lever is returned to the neutral position.
When driving, prolonged pressing of the
clutch pedal may cause a malfunction

Do not invert the polarities and use only a 12 V charger.
Do not disconnect the terminals while the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries without disconnecting the terminals first.
Do not push the vehicle to start the engine if it is fitted with a CVT gearbox.
Disconnecting the battery
To maintain a sufficient level of charge
to start the engine, it is advisable to
disconnect the battery if the vehicle is not
going to be used for a very long period.
Before disconnecting the battery:
F
C
lose all the doors and windows,
the
tailgate and the roof.
F
S
witch off all power-consuming
equipment (audio system, wipers,
lamps, etc.).
F
S
witch off the ignition and wait
4
m
inutes.
Once you have gained access to
the
battery, start by disconnecting
the (-) terminal.
Following reconnection of the
battery
Following reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute
before starting to permit initialisation of the
electronic systems.
However, if problems remain following this
operation, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you
must reinitialise certain equipment yourself,
such as:
-
T
he remote control key or the electronic
key (depending on version).
-
T
he electric blind(s).
-
T
he electric windows.
-
T
he date and time.
-
T
he stored radio stations. Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.
Never try to charge a frozen battery.
If the battery has been frozen, have
it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop, who will check that
the internal components have not been
damaged and the casing is not cracked,
which could cause a leak of toxic and
corrosive acid.
The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be
available again after a continuous
period of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a period which depends on the exterior
temperature and the state of charge of
the battery (up to about 8 hours).
