Stop & Start (VTi 68 S&S engine)
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
-

w

hen stationary, in neutral, and you
release the clutch pedal.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the button. For smoother operation, during
parking manoeuvres STOP mode is
not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
vehicle's systems, such as for example,
braking, power steering...
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked principally when:
- t he driver's door is open,
-

t
he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-

t
he engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
-

d
emisting is active,
-

s
ome special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
vehicle stopped on a steep gradient, high
altitude...) where the engine is needed to
assure control of a system.
The Stop & Start

system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...).
The

engine restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
Stop & Start time counters
A partial time counter counts the periods in
STOP mode during a journey.
It is displayed in the trip computer once the
Stop & Start acts.
Press one of the screen management buttons
to return to the previous display.
A global time counter counts the periods in
STOP mode since the last reset.
When it is displayed, press one of the screen
management buttons to reset the counter.

Reversing camera
The reversing camera is activated automatically when reverse gear is engaged.The reversing camera cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for the
vigilance on the part of the driver. The image is provided in the touch screen
only, with an indication of the limit of the rear
bumpers (red line) and the general direction of
the vehicle (blue lines).
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.
The field of vision covered by the camera is
limited: objects in the immediate proximity of
the bumper or located below it are not visible.
The camera's wide-angle lens deforms the
image presented in the screen: the distances
visible in the screen may be different from
the true distances. This deformation varies
according to the loading of the vehicle and the
slope of the road.
High pressure jet washing
When washing your vehicle, do not
direct the lance within 30 cm of the
camera lens. Never reverse the vehicle looking only
at the screen.

Active City Brake
Active City Brake is a driving assistance system that aims to avoid a frontal collision or reduce the speed of an impact if the driver does not react or
reacts too late (brake application too late).This system is designed to improve
driving safety.
It remains the driver's responsibility to
continuously monitor the state of the
traffic and to assess the distances and
relative speeds of other vehicles.
Active City Brake can in no
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
Never look at the laser sensor through
an optical instrument (magnifying glass,
microscope...) at a distance of less than
10 centimetres: risk of eye injury.
Automatic braking occurs later than if
done by the driver, so as to intervene
only when there is a high risk of
collision.
Principle
Using a laser sensor and a camera located at
the top of the windscreen, this system detects
a vehicle running in the same direction or
stationary ahead of your vehicle.
When necessary, the vehicle's braking system
is operated automatically to reduce the speed
of impact or to help avoid a collision with the
vehicle ahead.
Conditions for activation
Active City Brake only operates if the following
conditions are met:
●
t
he engine is running,
●

t
he vehicle is in a for ward gear,
●

t
he speed is between 9 and 87 mph
(15
and 140 km/h) for triggering the alert ;
the difference in speed between your
vehicle and the one ahead is more than
about 9
mph (15 km/h),
●

t
he speed is between about 18 and 50 mph
(30 and 80 km/h) for braking assistance ;
the difference in speed between your
vehicle and the one ahead is more than
about 18 mph (30 km/h),
●

t
he speed is between about 6 and 50 mph
(10 and 80 km/h) for automatic braking ;
the difference in speed between your
vehicle and the one ahead is more than
about 6 mph (10 km/h),
●

t
he braking assistance systems (ABS,
EBFD, EBA) are not faulty,
●

t
he trajectory control systems (TRC, DSC)
are not deactivated or faulty,
●

t
he vehicle is not in a tight corner,
●

t
he system has not been triggered during
the previous 10 seconds.

Access to the battery
Procedure for starting the engine using another battery or charging a discharged battery.
Before doing any work
Immobilise the vehicle: apply the
parking brake, put the gearbox in
neutral, then switch off the ignition.
Check that all electrical equipment is
switched off.
The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specification;
the involvement of a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop is essential
when replacing or disconnecting the
battery.
After refitting the battery, the Stop &
Start system will only be active after a
continuous period of immobilisation of the
vehicle, a period which depends on the
climatic conditions and the state of charge
of the battery (up to about 8 hours).
Do not push the vehicle to start the
engine if you have an ETG electronic
gearbox.
