)
with the ignition off
, insert the key
in the passenger airbag deactivation
switch,

)
turn it to the "OFF"
position,

)
then, remove the key keeping the
switch in the new position.
This warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel when
the ignition is on and until the
airbag is re-activated. To assure the safety of your child,
the passenger's front airbag
must be deactivated when you
install a "rear facing" child seat
on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed if
the airbag were deployed.

Reactivation
When you remove a child seat that
has been fi tted "rearwards facing",

position to re-
activate the airbag and so assure the
safety of your front passenger in the
event of an impact.

ing lamp comes on in the instru-
ment panel for approximately
one minute, if the passenger's
front airbag is activated.

in the instrument panel, accom-
panied by an audible warning
and a message in the multifunc-
tion screen, contact a CITROËN dealer
or qualifi ed workshop to have the system
checked. The airbags may no longer be
deployed in the event of a serious impact.
If this warning lamp fl ashes,
contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop. The pas-
senger's front airbag may no
longer be deployed in the event
of a serious impact.

ously, do not install a child seat
on the front passenger seat.

DRIVING
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - STOP mode -
during stops in the traffi c (red lights,
traffi c jams, or other...). The engine
restarts automatically - START mode -
as soon as you want to move off. The
restart takes place instantly, quickly and
silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise
level when stationary.
Operation


- with a manual gearbox
, at speeds
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you
put the gear lever into neutral, and
you release the clutch pedal.

- with a 5 or 6-speed electronic
gearbox
, at speeds below 5 mph
(8 km/h), when you press the brake
pedal or put the gear lever in posi-
tion
N
.
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and
the engine goes into standby:

For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such
as for example, braking, power
steering...
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.

A time counter calculates the sum of the periods in STOP
mode during a journey. It
rests itself to zero every
time the ignition is switched
on with the key.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last engine start
using the key,

- the engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the pas-
senger compartment,

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature, braking
assistance, ambient temperature...)
where the engine is needed to as-
sure control of a system.
The "ECO"
warning lamp fl ashes
for a few seconds then goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.

Operating fault Maintenance

In the event of a fault with the system,
the "ECO OFF"
switch warning lamp
fl ashes then comes on continuously.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode,
the vehicle may stall. It is then neces-
sary to switch off the ignition and start
the engine again using the key.
Before doing anything under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop &
Start system to avoid any risk of
injury resulting from automatic
operation of START mode.

The Stop & Start system makes
use of advanced technology. All
work on this type of battery must
be done by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
This system requires a battery with a
special specifi cation and technology
(reference numbers available from a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop).
Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN
introduces the risk of malfunction of the
system.

RDS, if displayed, allows you to continue listening to the same station by automatic retuning to alternative frequencies. However,
in certain conditions, coverage of an RDS station may not be
assured throughout the entire country as radio stations do notcover 100 % of the territory. This explains the loss of reception of
the station during a journey.
The external environment (hill, building, tunnel, underground car park...)may interfere with the reception, including in RDS following mode. This(g g(g
phenomenon is a normal result of the way in which radio waves are
transmitted and does not in any way indicate a failure of the audio equipment.
