Stop & Start
This system puts the engine tempo-
rarily into standby during stops in the
traffi c (red lights, traffi c jams, etc...).
The engine restarts automatically as
soon as you want to move off.
Stop & Start reduces fuel consump-
tion, exhaust emissions and noise
when stationary.

Stop & Start
Engine going into STOP mode The "ECO" warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and
the engine goes into stand-by:
- with the 6-speed electronic gear-
box system ; at speeds below
4 mph (6 km/h), press the brake
pedal or put the selector lever into
neutral (position N) .
In certain circumstances the STOP
mode may not be available; the "ECO"
warning lamp fl ashes for a few seconds,
then goes off.

 150 The
"ECO" warning lamp goes
off and the engine restarts:
- with the selector lever in position A
or M , release the brake pedal,
- or with the selector lever in position
N and the brake pedal released,
change to position A or M ,
- or select reverse gear.
In certain circumstances, START mode
may be invoked automatically; the

"ECO" warning lamp fl ashes for a few
seconds, then goes off.

 151 Deactivation/Reactivation
You can deactivate the system at any
time by pressing the
"ECO OFF" button;
the button’s warning lamp comes on.

A few definitions… Range
(miles or km)
This value may vary following a
change in the style of driving or
the relief, resulting in a signifi cant
change in the current fuel con-
sumption.
When the range falls below 20 miles
(30 km), dashes are displayed. After
fi lling with at least 5 litres of fuel,
the range is recalculated and is dis-
played when it exceeds 60 miles
(100 km).
If dashes are displayed continu-
ously while driving in place of the
digits, contact a CITROËN dealer.
This indicates the distance which
can still be travelled with the fuel re-
maining in the tank in relation to the
average fuel consumption over the
last few miles (kilometres) travelled.
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Average fuel
consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel consump-
tion since the last trip computer zero
reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
This is the average speed calculat-
ed since the last trip computer zero
reset (ignition on). Distance travelled
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance travelled
since the last trip computer zero
reset.
Distance remaining to
destination
(miles or km)
This is the distance remaining to be
travelled to the fi nal destination. It
is either calculated instantly by the
navigation system, if guidance is ac-
tivated, or entered by the user.
If the distance is not entered, dashes
are displayed in place of the digits.
This function is only displayed from
20 mph (30 km/h).
This is the average fuel consump-
tion during the last few seconds.
If your vehicle is fi tted with Stop &
Start, a time counter calculates the
time spent in STOP mode during a
journey.
It resets to zero every time the igni-
tion is switched on with the key. Stop & Start time counter
(minutes/seconds or hours/
minutes)

STARTING
1. "S": Steering lock
To unlock the steering, gently move
the steering wheel while turning the
key, without forcing it.
2. "M": Ignition on
Depending on the version of your
vehicle, the orange and red warn-
ing lamps should also come on for
a short time.
3. "D": Starter
Release the key as soon the engine
has started.
If the fi rst attempt fails, switch off the
ignition. Wait ten seconds then oper-
ate the starter again. Steering lock

the steering wheel to lock the
steering. The key can only be re-
moved in position S .

2. "M": Ignition switched on, the
steering is unlocked (by turning
the key to position M , move
the steering wheel gently if
necessary).

3. "D": Starter position.

If you forget to remove the key from
the ignition, the ignition is switched
off automatically after one hour.
To switch the ignition back on, turn
the key to position S then back to
position M .

Do not run the engine in an en-
closed space or where there is
insuffi cient ventilation
.

You must always to keep the
engine running when moving in
order to retain braking and steer-
ing power assistance .

Never remove the ignition key
before the vehicle has come to a
complete stop.
STOPPING
Vehicles equipped with a
turbocharger
Never stop the engine without having
allowed it to run for a few seconds at
idle, this being the time required for
the turbocharger to return to a normal
speed.
Flicking the accelerator at the mo-
ment of switching off the ignition
could cause serious damage.
A heavy object (key fob...), attached
to the key and weighing down on
its shaft in the ignition switch, could
cause a malfunction.
Never turn the key to this position
when the engine is running.

STOP & START
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 auto-
matically - START mode - as soon
as you want to move off. The restart
takes place instantly, quickly and si-
lently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop &
Start system reduces fuel consump-
tion and exhaust emissions as well
as the noise level when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode The "ECO" warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel and the engine goes
into standby:
- with the 6-speed electronic
gearbox system , at speeds be-
low 4 mph (6 km/h), press the
brake pedal or put the selector
lever in position N . If your vehicle is fi tted with the sys-
tem, 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
Never refuel with the en-
gine in STOP mode; you
must switch off the ignition
with the key.
For your comfort, during parking
maoeuvres, STOP mode is not avail-
able for a few seconds after coming
out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the func-
tionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering...
STOP mode is not invoked
when:
- the driver's door is open,
- the driver's seat belt is not fas- tened,
- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph (10 km/h) since the last
engine start using the key,
- the electric parking brake is ap- plied or being applied,
- the engine is needed to maintain a comfortable temperature in the
passenger compartment,
- demisting is active,
- some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature,
braking assistance, ambient
temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a
system.
In this case, the "ECO" warning
lamp fl ashes for a few seconds then
goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.

08 TRIP COMPUTER
- The "vehicle" tab: range, current fuel consumption and the distance remaining to the destination or the Stop & Start time counter.
- Tab "1" (trip 1) with: the average speed, the average fuel consumption and the distance travelled calculated over trip "1".
- Tab "2" (trip 2) with the same functions for a second trip.
A FEW DEFINITIONS
Range: displays the distance which can travelled with the remaining fuel detected in the tank, basd on the average consumption over th e last few miles (kilometres). This displayed value may vary signifi cantly following a change in the vehicle speed or the relief of the route. When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km), dashes are displa yed. After fi lling with at least 10 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km). If, whilst driving, dashes are displayed continuously in place of the digits, contact a CITROËN dealer. If, whilst driving, dashes are displayed continuously in place of the digits, If, whilst driving, dashes are displayed continuously in place of the digits,
Current fuel consumption: only calculated and displayed above 20 mph (30 km/h).
Average fuel consumption: this is the average fuel consumption since the last trip computer zero reset.
Distance travelled: calculated since the last trip computer zero reset.
Distance remaining to the destination: calculated with reference to the fi nal destination, entered by the user. If guidance is activated, the navigation system calculates it as a current value.
