Deactivating Eco Mode on the Citroen C3

Model: Citroen C3 SY, SX - Years 2016-2023
Part: Checks and maintenance

Eco mode, better known as "start & stop", is a system that saves fuel by turning off the car's engine whenever it remains stationary for a certain number of seconds. Obviously, this mode can be deactivated but automatically reactivates every time the car is turned off and back on, so it needs to be deactivated each time. Unfortunately, there is no system that keeps this function permanently deactivated. Fortunately, deactivation is very simple. As shown in the video, you simply need to click on the icon depicting a car on the display and then switch the eco mode to OFF.

How to Open the Bonnet on the Lancia Y

To open the bonnet on this vehicle, follow these simple instructions: first, open the driver's door and locate the lever positioned just below the dashboard, marked with an image of the vehicle with the bonnet open. Pull this lever towards you until you hear a "click" indicating the bonnet is released. Next, exit the cabin and stand in front of the bonnet to disengage the safety catch and complete the opening. To do this, slightly lift the bonnet, locate the yellow lever underneath, and pull it to the left to fully release and open the bonnet.
