DRIVING
STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the en-
gine 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 consump-
tion and exhaust emissions as well
as the noise level when stationary.

Operation



- with the electronic gearbox
system
, at speeds below 4 mph
(6 km/h), press the brake pedal or
put the gear 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
available 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 not
available
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 (battery
charge, engine temperature,
braking assistance, ambient
temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a
system.

SPEED LIMITER
System which prevents the vehi-
cle from exceeding the speed pro-
grammed by the driver.
When the limit speed is reached, the
accelerator pedal no longer has any
effect.
The speed limiter is switched on man-
ually: a speed of at least 20 mph (ap-
prox. 30 km/h) must be programmed.
The speed limiter can in no way re-
place respect for speed limits or vigi-
lance and responsibility on the part
of the driver.

Steering mounted controls

The speed limiter switches are lo-
cated on the left-hand side of the
steering wheel.

System which automatically main-
tains the vehicle speed programmed
by the driver, without any action on
the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on

at least 25 mph (40 km/h) and you
must be in at least:

When the function is selected, no
cruising speed has yet been
memorised.
Once the desired speed has been
reached using the accelerator, press
button 1
or button 2
. The cruising
speed is then memorised and cruise
control is activated. The cruising
speed is displayed in zone A
of the
instrument panel, and "ON"

played.

Adjustment of the memorised
speed while cruise control is
in operation
You can adjust the memorised
speed, displayed in zone A
, by
pressing:


- Button 1

Successive presses will modify the
cruise speed in steps of 1 mph and a
continuous press in steps of 5 mph. You can then release the accelera-
tor pedal. The vehicle will automati-
cally keep to the speed chosen.
The vehicle speed may vary slightly
from that memorised.
If during cruise control the system
cannot keep to the cruise speed
(e.g. on a steep descent), then the
speed fl ashes. If necessary, brake to
curb your speed.

CHECKING LEVELS
















Oil level


The check is carried out either
when the ignition is switched
on using the oil level indicator
on the instrument panel, or
using the dipstick.
This manual check will only be cor-
rect if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for more
than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level be-
tween two services (or oil changes).
CITROËN recommends that you
check the level, and top up if neces-
sary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
After topping up the oil, the check
when switching on the ignition with
the oil level indicator in the instru-
ment panel is not valid during the
30 minutes after topping up.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have
the corresponding system checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Check all of these levels regularly
and top them up if necessary, unless
otherwise indicated.

Take care when working under the
bonnet, as certain areas of the en-
gine may be extremely hot (risk of
burns).


Engine oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet for
details of the interval for this opera-
tion.
In order to maintain the reli-
ability of the engine and emis-
sion control system, the use
of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.

Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade
for your engine and conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.












Brake fluid level

The brake fl uid level should
be close to the "MAX" mark.
If it is not, check the brake
pad wear.

Changing the fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for de-
tails of the interval for this operation.

Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations
and meet the DOT4 standard.












Power steering or power
steering and suspension
fluid level
For topping up, it is necessary
to go to a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.















Dipstick
There are two marks on
the dipstick:

A
= max; never exceed
this level,

B
= min; top up the oil
level via the oil fi ller cap,
using the correct grade of
oil for your engine.
