Can you permanently disable Start and Stop on my Citroën C3?

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

In fact, there is no way for the owner or dealer to disable the start&stop system on your Citroën C3, or on any other vehicle from the PSA group (Peugeot, Citroën, DS Automobiles, Opel, and Vauxhall), as this system is required to comply with emissions regulations. There are various online guides, but these often void the warranty or cause damage to the vehicle's electrical system. The best solution is to disable it each time you get in the car, as shown in this video. With the engine running, use the onboard computer, click the home button to access the available functions for the driver. At this point, you will find various options, including the activation and deactivation of Start&Stop; simply set it to Off to disable it or to On to activate it.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
