Going into engine START mode
The "ECO"warning lamp goes off
and the engine starts:
- with a manual
gearbox
, when you
depress the clutch pedal,
- with a 5-speed or 6-speed electronic gearbox:●
gear lever in position Aor M
, when yourelease the brake pedal,
●
or gear lever in position Nand the brakepedal released, when you move the gear lever to position A
or M
,
●
or when you engage reverse gear.


Special cases: START invoked
automatically
For reasons of safety and for your comfort,START mode is invoked automatically when:


-
you open the driver's door,

- you unfasten the driver's seat belt,

- the speed of the vehicle exceeds 7 mph
(11 k m / h) with the electronic gearbox system,

- some special conditions (battery charge,engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed for control of a system.


Deactivation
At any time, press the "ECO OFF"
switch todeactivate the system.
This is confirmed by the switch warning lampcoming on accompanied by a message in the screen.
Th
e "ECO"
warning lamp flashes for
a
few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is per fectly normal.
With a manual gearbox in STOP mode, if you engage a gear without fully depressing the clutch pedal, a message
is displayed asking you to fully depressthe clutch pedal so that the engine can restart.


If the system has been deactivatedin STOP mode, the engine restartsimmediately.

Checks
144
Additive level (Diesel with
particle emissions filter)
According to your version of instrument panel,
the additive reser voir low level is indicated by:

To p p i ng up

The reser voir must be topped up without delay by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.








Used products
- fixed illumination of the particle emissions filter warning lamp,accompanied by an audible signal, or

- fix
ed illumination of the servicewarning lamp, accompanied byan audible signal and a message
that the par ticle emissions filter additive level is too low.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop (France) or to anauthorised waste disposal site.

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids with the skin.

Most of these fluids are harmful tohealth or indeed very corrosive.
Coolant level

The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never exceed it.
When the en
gine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be changed.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to themanufacturer's recommendations.
Top up the level when necessary.
The cooling fan may star t after switching off the engine: take care with ar ticles and clothing that mightbecome caught by the fan blades.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised,
wait at least one hour after switching off theengine before carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When
the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and
top up t
he level.
Screenwash fluid level

Fluid specifi cation

For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this
fluid must not be topped up or replaced
with plain water.

Practical information
182

Braking

To w i ng a trailer increases the braking distance.
To a v o i d o v e r h e a t i ng of the brakes on a long
mountain type of descent, the use of enginebraking is recommended.


Tyres
)
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the
recommended pressures.

Lighting
)
Check the electrical lighting and signallingon the trailer.

The rear parking sensors will bedeactivated automatically if a genuineCITROËN towbar is used.
Cooling
To w i ng a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.

As the fan is electrically controlled, its coolingcapacity is not dependent on the engine speed. )To lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed. The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
) If the warning lamp and the STOPwarning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.

The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced by 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (10 0 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the performance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient temperature is above 37 °C,
limit th
e towed load.

QUESTIONANSWERSOLUTION
The stored stations do not function (no sound,87.5 Mhz is displayed...).

An incorrect waveband is selected.
Press the BAND AST button to return to thewaveband (AM, FM1, FM2, FMAST) on which the stations are stored.

The traffi c announcement(TA) is displayed. I do not receive any traffi c information.
The radio station is not part of the regional traffi c information network.
Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffi c information.

The quality of reception of the radio station listened to gradually deterioratesor the stored stations donot function (no sound,87.5 Mhz is displayed...).
The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used by the station listened to or there is no transmitter in the geographical area through which the vehicle is travelling.
Activate the RDS function to enable the system tocheck whether there is a more powerful transmitter in the geographical area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks...) block reception, including in RDS mode. This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate a failure of the audio equipment.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when goingthrough a car wash or into an underground car park).
Have the aerial checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Sound cut-outs of 1 to 2 seconds in radio mode. During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for any frequencypermitting better reception of the station.
Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon istoo frequent and always on the same route.

With the engine off, theaudio equipment switches off after a few minutesof use.
When the engine is switched off, the audio equipment operating time depends on the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the audio equipment switches to economy modeand switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery.
Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery charge.
The message "the audio system is overheated" appears on the display.
In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature is too high,the audio equipment switches to an automatic thermal protection mode leading to a reduction of the volume or stopping of the playing of the CD.
Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to allow the system to cool.
