HILL START ASSIST
Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal
pressed, from the time you release the
brake pedal you have approximately
2 seconds before the vehicle starts to
roll back and without using the parking
brake within which to move off.
During the moving off phase, the
function is deactivated automatically,
gradually releasing the braking
pressure. During this phase, the
characteristic noise of mechanical
release of the brakes may be heard,
indicating the imminent movement of
the vehicle.
Operating fault
Hill start assist is deactivated in the
following situations:
-

when the clutch pedal is released,
-


when the parking brake is applied,
-


when the engine is switched of
f,
-

when the engine stalls. If a malfunction of the system
occurs, this warning lamp
comes on accompanied
by an audible signal and
confirmed by a message in
the screen. Have the system checked
by at a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
This system (also called HHC - Hill
Holder Control), linked to the dynamic
stability control system, makes hill
starts easier and is activated in the
following conditions:
-


the vehicle must be stationary

,
engine running, foot on the brake,
-

the gradient of the road must be
steeper than 5%,
-


uphill, the gearbox must be in
neutral or in a gear other than
reverse,
-


downhill, reverse gear must be
engaged.
The Hill Start
a

ssist function is
a driving aid system. It is not an
automatic vehicle parking function or
an automatic parking brake.

A FEW DRIVInG
RECOMME

n DATIO n S
Observe the driving regulations at all
times and remain vigilant whatever the
traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and
keep your hands on the wheel so that
you are ready to react at any time to
any eventuality.
On a long journey, a break every two
hours is strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly,
anticipate the need to brake and
increase the distance from other
vehicles.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving
on flooded roads, as this could cause
serious damage to the engine or
gearbox, as well as to the electrical
systems of your vehicle. If you are obliged to drive through
water:
-

check that the depth of water does
not exceed 15 cm, taking account
of waves that might be generated
by other users,
-

deactivate the Stop & Start system,
-

drive as slowly as possible without
stallin

g. In all cases, do not exceed
6 mph (10 km/h),
- do not stop and do not switch of f
the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon
as circumstances allow, make several
light brake applications to dry the brake
discs and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. Never drive with the parking brake
applied - Risk of overheating and
damage to the braking system!
Do not park or run the engine when
stationary in areas where inflammable
substances and materials (dry grass,
dead leaves...) might come into contact
with the hot exhaust system - Risk of
fire!
n
ever leave a vehicle
unsupervised with the engine
running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running,
apply the parking brake and put the
gearbox into neutral or position n or P,
depending on the type of gearbox.
Important!

The speed of the vehicle responds
to the pressure of the driver's foot as
far as the accelerator pedal point of
resistance which indicates that the
programmed speed has been reached.
However, pressing the pedal beyond
this point of resistance to the floor
allows the programmed speed to be
exceeded. To resume use of the limiter,
simply reduce the pressure on the
accelerator pedal gradually and return
to a speed below that programmed.
The operating actions may be
carried out when stationary, with the
engine running, or with the vehicle
moving.This speed limiter shows the function

Recirculation temporarily
prevents exterior odours
and smoke from entering the
passenger compartment.
Used with the setting of the fan speed
(from 1 to 4), recirculation enables you
to attain the desired comfort level more
quickly with both hot or cold settings.
This position should only be temporary.
When your desired comfort level has
been reached, return to the intake
of exterior air position to permit
renewal of the air in the passenger
compartment and avoid misting. This is
the preferred operating mode.

Good practice
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible
to exceed the value 15 by turning until
LO is displayed or the value 27 by
turning until HI is displayed.
On entering the vehicle, the inside
temperature may be much colder (or
warmer) than is comfortable. There is
no advantage in changing the value
displayed in order to quickly reach the
level of comfort required. The system
will use its maximum performance to
reach the comfort value set.

AUTO comfort programme
This is the normal air conditioning
system operating mode. Driver or passenger side comfort
value
The value indicated in the screen
corresponds to a level of comfort and
not a temperature in degrees Celsius
or Fahrenheit.
Turn this control to the left
or to the right to decrease or
increase the value. A setting
around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However,
depending on your requirements, a
setting between 18 and 24 is usual.
d

o not cover the sunshine sensor
located on the dashboard.
Press this button, the AUTO
symbol is displayed.
In accordance with the
comfort value selected,
the system controls the
distribution, the flow and the intake
of air to guarantee comfort and a
sufficient circulation of air in the
passenger compartment. No further
action on your part is required. When the engine is cold, to prevent
an excessive diffusion of cold air, the
air diffuser will reach its optimum level
gradually.
For your comfort, the settings are
stored when the ignition is switched off
and are reinstated the next time the
vehicle is started.
The automatic function will no longer
be maintained if you change a setting
manually (AUTO is cleared).

n TROL
(DSC)
These systems are linked and
complement the ABS.
The ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and
avoiding losses of control of the vehicle
on acceleration.
The system optimises drive to prevent
the wheels skidding, by acting on the
brakes of the drive wheels and on the
engine. It also allows the directional
stability of the vehicle to be improved
on acceleration.
Use the DSC to hold your course
without attempting to countersteer.
If there is a variation between the
trajectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the DSC
system automatically acts on the
engine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle back
on course.
Deactivation
In certain exceptional conditions
(starting the vehicle when stuck in mud
or snow, or on loose ground...), it could
prove useful to deactivate the ASR and
DSC systems to make the wheels spin
and regain grip.
Operating fault
Good practice
The ASR/DSC systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but
should not incite the driver to take risks
or to drive at high speed.
The operation of these systems is
ensured if the recommendations
of the manufacturer regarding
the wheels (tyres and rims), the
braking components, the electronic
components and the fitting and repair
procedures are observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Operation
The warning lamp flashes
when operation of the a SR or
DSC is triggered.
They engage again:
-

automatically above 30 mph

(50 km/h), When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the warning
lamp and the LED come on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the system
checked.
The warning lamp may also come on if
the tyres are under-inflated. Check the
pressure of each tyre.
-

Press the button or turn
the dial to the DSC OFF
position (depending on
model).
-


The LED comes on: the
ASR and
DSC systems no longer come into
play.
-

manually by pressing the
button again or by turning
the dial to this position
(depending on model).

GRIP CO n TROL
It adapts to allows most conditions of
poor grip to be accommodated.
The accelerator pedal must be pressed
enough for there to be adequate
engine power to manage the various
parameters in the best way. On snow, mud or sand, traction control
is obtained by a compromise between
safety, grip, traction and appropriate
tyres. Correct use
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you
to drive on other less passable terrain
occasionally.
However, particularly when your
vehicle is heavily laden, it does not
permit off-road activities such as:
-

crossing and driving on ground
which could damage the underbody
or tear of

f components (fuel pipe,
fuel cooler, ...), particularly by
obstacles or stones,
-

driving on ground with steep
gradients and poor grip,
-


crossing a stream.
