Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the engine goes into standby:
- with the electronic
gearboxsystem,at speeds below 5 mph (8 km/h), press
the brake pedal or put the gear lever inposition N.
If your vehicle is fitted with the system, a timecounter calculates the sum of the periods in STOP mode during a journey. It resets itself to
zero every time the ignition is switched on with
the STA R T/STOP button.
Never refuel with the engine in STOPmode; you must switch off the ignition with the STA R T/STOP button.
For your comfor t, during parkingmaoeuvres, 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...


Special cases: STOP mode not available
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 usingthe START/STOP button,

- the electric parking brake is applied or
being applied,

- the engine is needed to maintain acomfor table temperature in the passenger compartment,

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance,ambient temperature...) where the engine isneeded to assure control of a system.
In this case, the "ECO"
warning
lamp flashes for a few seconds thengoes off. The
Stop & Star t system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...).
The engine restar ts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restar t takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Star t system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
This operation is per fectly normal.

Operating fault

In the event of a fault with the system, the
"ECO OFF"

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified 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 STA R T/STOP button.

Before doing anything under the bonnet,deactivate the Stop & Start system toavoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of START mode.
This s
ystem requires a 12 V battery with a special specification and technology (reference numbers available from CITROËN dealers).
Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN
introduces the risk of malfunction of the system.
For charging, use a 12 V charger and do not
reverse the polarity.

Maintenance


The Stop & Star t system makes use of advanced technology. For any work onthe system go to a qualified workshop with the skills and equipment required, which a CITROËN dealer is ableto provide.

Head-up display
System which projects information onto a
transparent strip in the field of vision of the driver so
that the

Activation/Deactivation
)
With the engine running, adjust the brightness of the information usingbutton 3:

the brightness,

- towards the front to decreasethe brightness.



Brightness adjustment

We recommend that adjustments areonly made using these buttons whenthe vehicle is stationary.
When stationary or while driving, no objects should be placed around thetransparent strip (or on its cover) toavoid blocking the strip output and preventing its correct operation.


In certain extreme weather conditions (rain and/or snow, bright sunshine, ...)the head-up display may not be legibleor may suffer temporary inter ference.
Some sunglasses may hamper readingof the information. To clean the transparent strip, use aclean, soft cloth (such as a spectacles cloth or microfibre cloth). Do not usea dry or abrasive cloth or detergent or solvent products as these could scratch the strip or damage the anti-reflection coating.



Height adjustment
)With the engine running, adjust the display
to the required height using button 2:
- towards the rear to move the display up,
- towards the front to move the display down.
