Operating fault

When the ignition is on, the lighting of this
warning lamp, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the multifunction
screen, indicates a gearbox malfunction.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd
gear. You may feel
a substantial knock when changing from Pto R
and from N
to R
. This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (10 0 km/h), local speed restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.
This warning lamp may also come on if a door
is opened.
You risk damaging the gearbox:


- if you press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time,

- if you force the lever from position Pto another position when the batteryis flat.

To reduce fuel consumption when stationary for long periods with the engine running (traffic jam...), positionthe gear lever at Nand apply theparking brake, unless it is programmed in automatic mode.

Driving

Going into engine START mode
The "ECO"warning lamp goes off and the engine star ts automatically:
-with a manual gearbox
, when you fullydepress the clutch pedal,-with the 6-speed electronic gearbox
system:●
gear lever in position Aor M
, when yourelease the brake pedal,
●
or gear lever in position Nand 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 deactivatedin STOP mode, the engine restar ts immediately.

With a manual gearbox in STOP mode,if a gear is engaged without fullydepressing the clutch pedal, a warninglamp comes on or an aler t message is displayed asking you to depress the clutch pedal to restar t the engine.

At any time, press the "ECO OFF"
switch todeactivate the system.
This is confirmed by the switch warning lamp coming on accompanied by the display of amessage.


Deactivation
In this case the "ECO"
warning lampflashes 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 k m/h) with the 6 -speed electronic
gearbox system,
- the electric parkin
g 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 automaticallyat every new star t using the key.
Reactivation

This system requires a specific battery with aspecial 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 s
ystem,
the "ECO OFF"switch warning lamp flashes,
then comes on continuously.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.


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 STA R T 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 qualifiedworkshop. Pr
ess the "ECO OFF"switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the switch warning lamp going off and the
display of a message.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, thevehicle may stall. All of the instrumentpanel warning lamps come on.Depending on version, an alert message may also be displayed askingyou to put the gear lever into position Nand put your foot on the brake pedal.
It is then necessary to switch off the ignition, then restart the engine using the key.
