If minor problems nevertheless persist following
this operation, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

yourself reinitialise certain systems, such as:
–

the remote control key or the electronic key
(depending on version),
–


the electric windows,
–


the date and time,
–


the preset radio stations.
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).Towing
