STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the en-
gine temporarily on 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 consump-
tion and exhaust emissions as well
as the noise level when stationary.
Operation
- 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 .
Going into engine STOP mode
The
"ECO" warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and
the engine goes into standby:
If your vehicle is fi tted
with the system, 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.
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 ex-
ample, braking, power steering...
Never refuel with the engine
in STOP mode; you must
switch off the ignition with the
key. Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
In this case, the "ECO"
warning lamp fl ashes for a
few seconds then goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.
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 (bat- tery charge, engine tempera-
ture, braking assistance, ambient
temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a
system.

In the event of a malfunction with
the system, the "ECO OFF" switch
warning lamp fl ashes then comes
on continuously.
Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode,
the vehicle may stall. It is then nec-
essary to switch off the ignition and
start the engine again using the
key.
Operating fault
The Stop & Start system
makes use of advanced
technology. Specialist knowledge
is needed for any work on the sys-
tem, which can only be assured by
CITROËN dealers. Before working under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop &
Start system to avoid any risk
of injury resulting from automatic
operation of START mode.
Maintenance
This system requires a battery with
a special specifi cation and technol-
ogy (reference numbers available
from CITROËN dealers).
Fitting a battery not listed by
CITROËN introduces the risk of
malfunction of the system.

Mode selection
Displays on the instrument panel

 automatic mode: gear lever in
position D ,

 sequential mode: gear lever in
position M ,

 SPORT mode: gear lever in po-
sition D and button A pressed,

 SNOW mode: gear lever in posi-
tion D and button B pressed. The position of the gear lever and
the driving mode are displayed on
the instrument panel dial
C .
A position grille associated with the
gear lever allows you to view the
selected position.
For safety:
- position P can be disen-
gaged only if you press
the brake pedal,
- when a door is opened, an au- dible signal is heard if the gear
lever is not in position P ,
- always make sure that the gear lever is in position P before you
leave your vehicle.
If the gearbox is in position P but the
position of the gear lever is different,
reposition the gear lever on P so that
you can start the vehicle.
AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
Automatic gearbox which offers a
choice between the comfort of fully
automatic operation, enhanced by
the sport and snow programmes, or
manual gear changing.
Four driving modes are provided:
- automatic operation for elec-
tronic control of the gears by the
gearbox,
- the SPORT programme for a
more dynamic driving style,
- the SNOW programme to im-
prove driving when the grip is
poor,
- manual operation for sequen-
tial changing of the gears by the
driver.

Never select positions P or R
if the vehicle is not stationary.
If, while the vehicle is moving, po-
sition N is engaged inadvertently,
allow the engine to idle before en-
gaging position D or M .
Moving off

 To start the engine, the gear
lever must be in position P or N .

 Operate the starter.

 When the engine is running,
place the gear lever on R , D or

M as required.

 Check, in the instrument panel,
the position engaged.

 Release the brake pedal and ac-
celerate.

 To avoid a possible difference
between the position of the gear
lever and the actual position of
the gearbox, always exit from
position P with the ignition on
and brake pedal applied.
Otherwise, when the ignition is on or
the engine is running:

 reposition the gear lever in posi-
tion P ,

 put your foot on the brake ped-
al and then select the gear you
want. Park
This position of the gear le-
ver is used to prevent the
vehicle from moving when
you are stationary.

 To select position P, move the
gear lever back to the highest
position (towards R ), then push
it forwards and then to the left.

 To exit position P , move the gear
lever to the right and then to the
position you want.

 Only engage this position when
the vehicle is completely sta-
tionary. In this position, the front
wheels are locked. Make sure
that the gear lever is correctly
positioned. Reverse gear
Only engage this position
when the vehicle is station-
ary. To prevent snatching,
do not accelerate too soon
after selection.
Neutral Never select position N if
the vehicle is moving.

Automatic operation

 Move the gear lever to position D .
The gearbox constantly selects the gear that is best suited to the
following parameters:
- driving style,
- road profi le
- vehicle load.
The gearbox operates without requir-
ing any intervention on your part.
For certain manoeuvres (for ex-
ample overtaking), you can obtain
maximum acceleration by pressing
the accelerator pedal hard down
past the point of resistance, which
then produces an automatic change
down to a lower gear. When braking, the gearbox may
change down automatically in order
to provide effective engine braking.
If you lift your foot off the accelerator
abruptly, the gearbox will not engage
a higher gear.
Manual operation
Position of the gear lever for manual
gear changing.

 Move the gear lever to position M .

 Push the gear lever towards the
" + " sign to change up a gear.

 Pull the gear lever towards the " - "
sign to change down a gear. - If the vehicle stops or reduces
speed (for example when ap-
proaching a stop sign), the gear-
box changes down automatically
to fi rst gear.
- In sequential mode, it is not nec- essary to release the accelerator
during gear changes.
- A request to change gear is ac- cepted only if the engine speed
permits it.
- The SPORT and SNOW modes
do not operate in sequential
mode.

SPORT and SNOW
programmes
SPORT programme "S"
These two special programmes sup-
plement the automatic operation in
very particular conditions of use.

 With the gear lever in po-
sition D and the engine
running, press button A . SNOW programme "
 "

 With the gear lever in position D
and the engine running, press
button B .
The gearbox adapts to driving on
slippery roads.
This programme makes moving off
easier and improves traction in con-
ditions of poor grip.

 appears on the instrument
panel.
The gearbox automatically favours a
dynamic driving style.

S appears on the instrument panel. Return to automatic operation

 At any time, press the button
selected again to exit from the
programme engaged and return
to auto-adaptive mode. A strong snatch may be felt
when selecting
R for reverse
gear.
In the event of a malfunction, the
gearbox is blocked in one gear;
do not exceed a speed of 62 mph
(100 km/h).
Do not turn off the engine while the
gear selector is in position D or R .
Never press the accelerator and
brake pedals simultaneously.
Braking and acceleration should
be done with the right foot only.
Pressing both pedals simultane-
ously may damage the gearbox.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
