Going into engine START mode

The "ECO"
warning lamp goes off
and the engine star ts:


- with a manual gearbox
, when you fully

depress the clutch pedal,

- with the 6-speed electronic gearbox
system
:


●
gear lever in position A
or M
, when you
release the brake pedal,

●
or gear lever in position N
and the brake
pedal released, when you move the gear
lever to position A
or M
,

●
or when you engage reverse gear.




Special cases: START invoked
automatically
If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately. With a manual gearbox in STOP
mode, if a gear is engaged without
fully depressing the clutch pedal, a
warning lamp comes on or a message
is displayed asking you to depress the
clutch pedal to restar t the engine.
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 on the
screen.

Deactivation

In this case the "ECO"
warning lamp
flashes for few seconds, then goes
off.

This operation is per fectly normal.
For safety reasons or to ensure smooth
operation, 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 15 mph
(25 km/h) with a manual gearbox or
7 mph (11 km/h) with the 6 -speed
electronic gearbox system,

- the electric parking brake is being applied,

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

The system is reactivated automatically
at every new star t using the key.


Reactivation

This system requires a specific 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 malfunction 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. It is then necessary to switch
off the ignition and star t 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 & Star t system makes use
of advanced technology. All work on
this type of battery must be done only
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. Press the "ECO OFF"
switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the switch warning lamp going off and a
message in the instrument panel.

Cruise control

System which automatically maintains the
speed of the vehicle at the value programmed
by the driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal.
The functions of this system are grouped
together on the steering mounted controls.


1.
Cruise control mode selection dial.

2.
Speed programming/value decrease
button.

3.
Speed programming/value increase button.

4.
Cruise control off/resume button.

5.
Memorised speeds display button.
(see "Memorising speeds")

Steering mounted controls

The cruise control system cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need to
respect speed limits, nor can it replace
the need for vigilance and responsibility
on the par t of the driver.
You are advised to keep your feet near
the pedals at all times. The programmed information is grouped
together in the instrument panel screen.

6.
Cruise control off/resume indication.

7.
Cruise control mode selection indication.

8.
Programmed speed value.

9.
Selecting a stored speed.
(see "Storing speeds")


Displays in the instrument panel


Operation

The cruise control is switched on
manually: it
requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40 km/h) and engagement of:


- four th gear on the manual gearbox,

- second gear on the electronic gearbox
system or automatic gearbox, in sequential
driving mode,

- position A
on the electronic gearbox
system or D
on an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off
manually
or by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or
on triggering of the ESP system for safety
reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value.

271Practical information








Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of cer tain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
cer tain functions, such as the air conditioning,
the heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit. Do not disconnect the terminals while the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries without disconnecting the terminals first.
Do not push the vehicle to star t the engine if it is fitted with the 6 -speed electronic
gearbox system.

Before disconnecting the
battery
Wait 2 minutes after switching off the
ignition before disconnecting the battery.
Close the windows and the doors before
disconnecting the battery.


Following reconnection
of the battery
Following reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute
before star ting to permit initialisation of the
electronic systems. However, if problems
are encountered following this operation,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section,
you must yourself reinitialise:


- the remote control key,

- the GPS satellite navigation system.

Energy economy mode
System which manages the period of use of cer tain functions to conser ve a sufficient level of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use functions such as the audio equipment, windscreen wipers, dipped beam headlamps, cour tesy lamps,
etc. for a maximum combined period of thirty minutes.
This period may be greatly reduced if
the battery is not fully charged.
A flat battery prevents the engine from
starting (refer to the corresponding
paragraph). If the telephone is being used at the
same time on the navigation system,
it will be interrupted after 10 minutes.


Switching to economy mode

Once this period has elapsed, a message
appears in the screen indicating that the vehicle
has switched to economy mode and the active
functions are put on standby.

Exiting economy mode

These functions are reactivated automatically
the next time the vehicle is driven.


)
In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, star t the engine and
let it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be double
the period for which the engine is left running.
However, this period will always be between
five and thir ty minutes.

The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, if the GV W of the towing vehicle is reduced by an equal amount. Warning:
towing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
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 (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the per formance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient temperature is above 37 °C,
limit the towed load.

Enter the same code on the telephone then accept
the connection.
Then accept automatic connection on the telephone to allow the
telephone to reconnect automatically every time the vehicle is
started.



The ability of the system to connect in only one mode depends on
the telephone. The two modes may both connect by default.

USING THE TELEPHONE


The " Hands-free mode
" should be used in preference if
"Streaming" is not desired.
The services available depend on the network, the SIM card and the compatibility of the Bluetooth telephone used. Check the telephone
manual and with your network provider for details of the services available to you. A list of mobile telephones with the best level of
compatibility is available on www.citroen.co.uk.

Select a code for the connection then
confi rm " OK
".
On return to the vehicle,the last telephone connected
automatically reconnects, within around 30 seconds after
switching on the ignition (Bluetooth activated and visible).
To modify the automatic connection mode, remove the pairing and
pair the telephone again with the desired mode.
