w

hen you fully depress the clutch pedal. START mode is invoked automatically when:
-
y ou open the driver's door,
-

y
ou open the bonnet,
-

y
ou unfasten the driver's seat belt,
-

s
ome special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
descending a steep gradient, adjustment of
the air conditioning...) where the engine is
needed for control of a system.
Special cases: START invoked
automaticallyIn the event of a fault with the system,
this warning lamp flashes in the
instrument panel.
Operating fault
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Driving

Before doing anything under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
system to avoid any risk of injury
resulting from automatic operation of
START mode.
Maintenance
At any time, press this button to deactivate the
system.
Deactivation
If the system has been deactivated in STOP
mode, the engine restarts immediately.Press this button again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed by the
indicator lamp going off in the instrument panel.
The system is reactivated automatically at
every new engine start by the driver.
Reactivation
This is confirmed by the illumination
of this indicator lamp in the
instrument panel.
This system 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.
The Stop & Start system makes use of
advanced technology. For any work on
the system go to a qualified workshop
with the skills and equipment required,
which a CITROËN dealer is able to
provide.

Lane departure warning system
System which detects the unintended crossing of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the ground, using a camera that recognises both solid and
broken lines.
To improve your safety, the camera analyses the image and then triggers a warning if the vehicle wanders over a lane marking (speed higher than
30 mph (50 km/h)).
This system is particularly suitable for motor ways and dual carriageways.
The lane departure warning system
cannot in any circumstances replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
It is necessary to observe driving
regulations and take a break every
two
hours.
Activation
F Press this button, located on the steering wheel.
Detection
You are alerted by an audible signal and the
display of a warning lamp in the instrument
panel.
No alert is given if the direction
indicators are on and for around
20
seconds after they stop flashing.

Under-inflation detection
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. 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).
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
Hazard warning
lamps
Visual warning by means of the direction
indicators to alert other road users to a vehicle
breakdown, towing or accident.

Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
indicates that there is a fault with the
electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD), which could cause loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.
Operation
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
indicates that there is a fault with
the ABS system, which could cause
loss of control of the vehicle when
braking.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
make sure that these are approved for
your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.
In emergency braking, press
very firmly without releasing
the

pressure.
Yo u must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
and traction control (TRC)
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
As soon as they detect a problem of grip or
trajectory, these systems act on the operation if
the engine and brakes.
Activation of the DSC system is
signalled by the flashing of this
indicator lamp in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal.
Activation of the TRC system is
signalled by the flashing of this
indicator lamp in the instrument panel.
Drive carefully at reduced speed, and contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
