gine using another battery.
! The presence of this label, in
particular with the Stop & Start
system, indicates the use of a
12 V lead-acid battery with special
technology and specifi cation; the
involvement of a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop is essential
when replacing or disconnecting
the battery.
Failure to observe this recommen-
dation may cause premature wear
of the battery.
After refi tting the battery by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
XI
workshop, the Stop & Start system
will only be active after a continu-
ous period of immobilisation of the
vehicle, a period which depends
on the climatic conditions and the
state of charge of the battery (up to
about 8 hours).
