How to Disable Start and Stop on a Citroen C3?

Model: Citroen C3 SC - Years 2009-2016
Part: Checks and maintenance

On the Citroen C3 shown in the content, disabling the Start & Stop occurs temporarily via the dedicated command on the dashboard or central console. With the ignition on and the engine started, locate the Start & Stop button marked with a circled 'A' icon. Pressing the button, as shown in the video, confirms on the instrument cluster that the system is disabled for the current driving session. It is important to note that, as shown, on the Citroen C3 this operation is not permanent: when the engine is turned off and subsequently restarted, the Start & Stop reactivates automatically.
