STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily on standby - STOP mode
- during stops in the traffic (red
lights,
traffic jams, or other...).
The
engine restarts automatically -
ST
ART
mode - as soon as you want to
move
off.
The
restart takes place instantly,
quickly
and silently.
Perfect 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 modeThe "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
release the clutch pedal,
-
with a 6-speed electronic
gearbox
, at speeds below 5 mph
(8
km/h), when you press the brake
pedal or put the gear lever into
position
N. If
your vehicle is fitted with the system,
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.
With a 6-speed electronic
gearbox, 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
braking,
power steering, for example.
n

DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS
observe the driving regulations 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 CITR
o Ë n dealer or a
qualified
workshop.Never
drive with the parking brake
applied
- Risk of overheating and
damage
to the braking system!
Risk of fire!
As the exhaust system of your vehicle
is
very hot, even several minutes after
switching
off the engine, do not park
or run the engine over areas where
inflammable
substances and materials
are
present: grass, leaves, etc...)
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

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
(ABS / EBFD)
The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force
distribution) systems improve the
stability
and manoeuvrability of your
vehicle
on braking, in particular on
poor
or slippery surfaces.
The
ABS
prevents locking of the
wheels, the EBF
d provides control of
the
braking pressure wheel by wheel.If
this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an
audible
signal and a message
in the screen, it indicates a
malfunction
of the
ABS
which
could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle
on braking.
If
this warning lamp comes
on,
together with the brake
and
STOP
warning lamps,
accompanied
by an audible
signal
and a message in the
screen,
it indicates a malfunction of
the
electronic brake force distribution
which could result in a loss of control of
the
vehicle on braking.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSIST
ANCE (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables the optimum braking pressure to be
reached
more quickly, press the pedal
firmly
without releasing it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake
pedal is pressed down.
This
alters the resistance of the brake
pedal
under your foot.
To
maintain operation of the
emergency
braking assistance system:
keep
your foot on the brake pedal.
Good practice
The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically when
there
is a risk of wheel lock. It does not
reduce
the braking distance.
o
n very slippery surfaces (ice,
oil, etc...)
the
ABS
may increase the
braking
distance. When braking in
an
emergency, do not hesitate to
press
the brake pedal firmly, without
releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able
to
continue to manoeuvre the vehicle
to
avoid an obstacle.
Normal
operation of the
ABS
may be
felt
by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and
rims),
ensure that these are listed by
CITROËN
for the vehicle. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a CITR
o Ë n
dealer
or a qualified workshop.

ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)
AND
DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (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
d SC 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 d SC
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 a
SR 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.
-
Press the button or turn
the dial to the
d SC o FF
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).Contact a CITR
o Ë n 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.
