Stop & Start  
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic 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. 
  Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary. 
 
 
Operation 
 
 
Going into engine STOP mode 
 
 
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.     The  "ECO" 
 warning lamp comes 
on in the instrument panel and the 
engine goes into standby: 
   
 
-   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 
, 
when stationary or at speeds below 5 mph 
(8 km/h) (depending on version), when 
you press the brake pedal or put the gear 
selector in position  N 
. 
   
-   with an automatic gearbox 
, vehicle 
stationary, when you press the brake pedal 
or you place the gear selector in position  N 
.    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.    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 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.  
 
 
Special cases: STOP mode not 
available 
  The  "ECO" 
 warning lamp flashes for 
a few seconds then goes off. 
   
This operation is per fectly normal.

Going into engine START mode 
 
The  "ECO"

, when you 
depress the clutch pedal, 
   
-   with an electronic or automatic 
gearbox 
:

  / D 
 or  M

when you release the brake pedal, 
   
● 
  or gear selector in position  N 
 and the 
brake pedal released, when you move 
the gear selector to position  A / D 
 or  M 
, 
   
● 
  or when you engage reverse gear.

automatically 
   
If the system has been deactivated 
in STOP mode, the engine restarts 
immediately.  
    At any time, press the  "ECO OFF" 
 switch to 
deactivate the system. 
  This is confirmed by the switch warning lamp 
coming on accompanied by a message in the 
screen. 
   
Deactivation

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 km/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.  
  The  "ECO" 
 warning lamp flashes for 
a few seconds, then goes off. 
   
This operation is per fectly normal.

The system is reactivated automatically 
at every new start using the key.  
 
 
 
Reactivation 
 
This system requires a battery with a special 
specification and technology (reference 
numbers available from a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop). 
  Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN 
introduces the risk of malfunction of the system. 
  In the event of a fault with the system, the 
  "ECO OFF" 
 switch warning lamp flashes then 
comes on continuously. 
  Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop. 
  In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the 
vehicle may stall. All of the instrument panel 
warning lamps come on. It is then necessary 
to switch off the ignition and start the engine 
again using the key.  
 
 
Operating fault    
Maintenance 
 
 
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 qualified 
workshop.  
    Press the  "ECO OFF" 
 switch again. 
  The system is active again; this is confirmed
