In the event of a fault with the system, the indicator lamp in the "ECO OFF" button
flashes
for a few moments, then comes on
c
ontinuously.
Have
it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified
w
orkshop.
In
the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
v
ehicle may stall. All of the warning lamps
i
n the instrument panel come on. It is then
n
ecessary to switch off the ignition and start
t
he engine again using the key.
Operating fault
The Stop & Start system requires
a 12 V battery with a special
s
pecification
a
nd
t
echnology.
All
work on this type of battery must be
c
arried out only by a CITROËN dealer
o
r a qualified workshop.
For
more information on the 12 V
b
attery, refer to the corresponding
s
ection.
Press

to
deactivate
the
system.
Deactivation
is
confirmed
by
illumination
of
the

Deactivation / Manual
reactivation
In certain cases, such as the need to maintain a comfortable temperature in the passenger
c
ompartment, it may be useful to deactivate the
S
top & Start system.
The
system can be deactivated at any time,
o
nce the ignition is on.
If
the engine is in STOP mode, it then restarts.
The
Stop & Start system is reactivated
a
utomatically every time the ignition is
switched
on.
Opening the bonnet
Before
doing anything under the
b
onnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
s
ystem to avoid the risk of injury
r
elated to an automatic change to
S
TART mode.
Driving on flooded roads
Before
driving through a flooded road,
i
t is strongly recommended that you
d
eactivate the Stop & Start system.
For
more advice on driving, particularly

Operation
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
i
nto contact with the flap. The system remains
c
losed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.
Misfuel prevention (Diesel)*Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of e ngine damage that can result from filling with the wrong fuel.
Located
in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention device appears when the filler cap is removed.
It
remains possible to use a fuel can to
f
ill the tank.
In
order to ensure a good flow of fuel,
d
o not place the nozzle of the fuel can
i
n direct contact with the flap of the
m
isfuel prevention device and pour
s
l ow l y.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different in other countries, the
p
resence of the misfuel prevention
d
evice may make refuelling impossible.
Before
travelling abroad, we
r
ecommend that you check with the
C
ITROËN dealer network, whether your
v
ehicle is suitable for the fuel pumps in
t
he country in which you want to travel.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have have
the tank drained and refilled with
the correct fuel before you star t
the
engine.
Fuel supply cut-off
Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that c
uts off the supply of fuel in the event of an
impact.

Star ting prevented
Every time the ignition is switched on, the
S
ERVICE and engine diagnostic warning
l
amps come on and the UREA warning lamp
f
lashes, accompanied by the temporary display
o
f "NO START IN" and 0 miles or kilometres -
(
"NO START IN 0 miles" means "Starting
p
revented").
To
be able to start the engine, you must call on
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
You
have exceeded the authorised
d
riving limit: the starting prevention
s
ystem inhibits engine starting.
In the event of a fault with the the SCR emissions control system
In the event of the detection
of a fault
The UREA, SERVICE and diagnostic warning
l
amps comes on, accompanied by an audible
s
ignal and the display of the message
"
Emissions
f
ault".
The
alert is triggered when driving, when
t
he fault is detected for the first time, then
w
hen switching on the ignition for subsequent
j
ourneys, while the fault persists.During an authorised driving phase
(between 650 miles and 0 miles) (1 100 km and 0 km)
If a fault with the SCR system is confirmed (after 3 0 miles (50 km) covered with the permanent display o
f the message signalling a fault), the SERVICE
a
nd engine diagnostic warning lamps come on and
t
he UREA warning lamp flashes, accompanied by
a
n audible signal and the temporary display in the
i
nstrument panel of "NO START IN" and a distance,
i
ndicating the remaining range express in miles or
k
ilometres before engine starting is prevented -
(
e.g.: "NO START IN 350 miles" means "Starting will
b
e prevented in 350 miles").
A system that prevents engine starting is activated automatically from 650 miles (1 100 km) after confirmation of a fault with the SCR emissions control system. Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
If
it is a temporary fault, the alert
d
isappears during the next journey,
a
fter a self diagnosis test of the SCR
e
missions control system.
While driving, this display appears every 30 seconds while the fault with the SCR system p
ersists.
The
alert is repeated when switching on the ignition.
You
should go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop as soon as possible.
Other wise, you will not be able to restart your
engine.

Driving advice
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the h
eaviest items are as close as possible to
t
he axle and the nose weight approaches
t
he maximum permitted without
e
xceeding it.
Air
density decreases with altitude, thus
r
educing engine per formance. Above
1 0
00 metres, the maximum towed load must
b
e reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of
al
titude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity t
o side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.
As
the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
c
apacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
s
peed.
The
maximum towed load on a long incline
d
epends on the gradient and the ambient
t
emperature.
In
all cases, keep a check on the coolant
t
emperature. F
I
f the warning lamp and
t
he STOP
warning lamp come
o
n, stop the vehicle and switch
o
ff the engine as soon as
p
ossible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
m
ountain type of descent, the use of engine
b
raking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing v
ehicle and of the trailer, observing the
re
commended
p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling o
n the trailer.
Refer
to
the
"Technical
data"
section
for
details
o
f
the
weights
and
towed
loads
which
apply
to
y
our
vehicle.
The rear parking sensors will be
d
eactivated automatically if a genuine
C
ITROËN towbar is used.

Checking levels
Engine oil level
The check of the oil level is carried out with the dipstick, located under
t
he bonnet. For the position of the
d
ipstick, refer to the under-bonnet
v
iew on a previous page.Checking with dipstick
If you find that the oil level is above the A mark or below the B mark, do not star t the engine.
Take
care
when
working
under
the
bonnet,
as
certain
areas
of
the
engine
may
be
extremely
hot
(risk of burns) and the cooling fan could start at
a
