Deactivation
Going into engine START mode
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 in the screen.
Special cases: START invoked automatically
The "ECO" warning lamp goes off and the engine starts with an electronic gearbox :
- 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.
For reasons of safety and for your comfort, 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 2 mph (3 km/h) with an electronic gearbox, - some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance, ambient temperature...) where the engine is needed for control of a system.
The "ECO" warning lamp flashes for
a few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
If the system has been deactivated in STOP mode, the engine restarts immediately.

Maintenance
In the event of a fault 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. All of the warning lamps in the instrument panel come on. It is then necessary to switch off the ignition and start the engine again using the key.
Operating fault
This system requires a 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.
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 & Start system makes use of advanced technology. All work on this type of battery must be done by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Reactivation
The system is reactivated automatically at every new start using the key.
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again. The system is active again; this is confirmed by the switch warning lamp going off, accompanied by a message in the screen.

The under-inflation detection system does not replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver. This system does not avoid the need to check the tyre pressures (including the spare wheel) every month as well as before a long journey. Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs road holding, extends braking distances and causes premature tyre wear, particularly under arduous condition (high loading, high speed, long journey).
The inflation pressures defined for your vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure label. See the "Identification markings" section. Tyre pressures should be checked when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate speeds). Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to the pressures shown on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyres increases fuel consumption.
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressures in the four tyres, once the vehicle is moving. It compares the information given by the four wheel speed sensors with reference values, which must be reinitialised ever y time the tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed . The system triggers an alert as soon as it detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one or more tyres.

Before reinitialising the system, ensure that the pressures of the four tyres are correct for the use of the vehicle and in line with the recommendations on the tyre pressure label. The under-inflation detection system does not give a warning if a pressure is incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
The loss of pressure detected does not always cause visible bulging of the tyre. Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual check.
The alert is maintained until the system is reinitialised.
Under-inflation alert
This is given by fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and the display of a message.
 Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive steering movements and sudden braking  Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
 If you have a compressor (such as the one in the temporary puncture repair kit), check the pressures of the four tyres when cold. If it is not possible to carry out this check straight away, drive carefully at reduced speed. or  In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel (depending on equipment),
Reinitialisation
It is necessary to reinitialise the system every time one or more tyre pressure is adjusted, and after changing one or more wheels. A label attached to the middle pillar, driver's side, gives a reminder of this.

Operating fault
The under-inflation alert is only dependable if the system has been reinitialised with all four tyres inflated to the correct pressures.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be reinitialised after fitting or removing snow chains.
Before doing anything to the system, the pressures of the four tyres must be checked and the system reinitialised.
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the under-inflation warning lamp accompanied by illumination of the Service warning lamp indicates a fault with the system. In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the tyres is no longer assured. Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

AdBlue ® additive and SCR system
for BlueHDi Diesel engines
To assure respect for the environment and conformity with the new Euro 6 emissions standard, without adversely affecting the per formance or fuel consumption of Diesel engines, CITROËN has taken the decision to equip its vehicles with an effective system that associates SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) with a particle filter (FAP) for the treatment of exhaust gases.
Presentation of the SCR system
Using an additive called AdBlue ® containing ® containing ®
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of nitrous oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and water, which are harmless to health and the environment.
The AdBlue ® additive is held in a special ® additive is held in a special ®
tank located under the boot at the rear of the vehicle. It has a capacity of 17 litres: this provides a driving range of about 12 500 miles (20 000 km), after which an alert is triggered warning you when the reserve remaining is enough for just 1 500 miles (2 400 km).
During each scheduled service of your vehicle by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop, the AdBlue ® additive tank is refilled in order to ® additive tank is refilled in order to ®
allow normal operation of the SCR system.
If the estimated mileage between two services is greater than 12 500 miles (20 000 km), we recommend that you go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to have the necessary top-up carried out.
Once the AdBlue ® tank is empty, a ® tank is empty, a ®
system required by regulations prevents starting of the engine. If the SCR is faulty, the level of emissions from your vehicle will no longer meet the Euro 6 standard: you vehicle becomes polluting. In the event of a confirmed fault with the SCR system, you must go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible: after a running distance of 650 miles (1 100 km), a system will be triggered automatically to prevent engine starting.
