Stop & Start
Going into engine STOP mode
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition. For your comfort, during parking
maoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
Stop & Start does not affect the
operation of vehicle systems such as
braking, power steering, etc.
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.).
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.
With a manual gearbox
, vehicle
stationary, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel
and the engine goes into standby
automatically when you place the
gear lever in neutral and you release
the clutch pedal.
With an automatic gearbox ,
vehicle stationary, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel
and the engine goes into standby
automatically when you press
the brake pedal or place the gear
selector in position N .
Stop & Star t time counter
(minutes / seconds or hours / minutes) A time counter calculates the time
spent in STOP mode during a
j o u r n ey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on.

In the event of a fault with the system, the
indicator lamp in the button flashes for a
few moments, then remains on.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall.
All of the instrument panel warning lamps
come
on.
It is then necessary to switch off the ignition
and start the engine again.
In certain circumstances, such as the need
to maintain the temperature in the passenger
compartment, it may be useful to deactivate the
Stop & Start system.
The system can be deactivated at any time,
once the ignition is switched on.
If the engine is in STOP mode, it then restarts.
The Stop & Start system is reactivated
automatically every time the ignition is
switched

on.
Deactivation / Reactivation
The Stop & Start system requires
a 12 V battery of specific technology
and specification.
All work on this type of battery must be
carried out only by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
For more information on the 12 V
Battery , refer to the corresponding
section.
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid the risk of injury related to an
automatic change to START mode. Opening the bonnet
Driving on flooded roads
Before driving through a flooded road,
it is strongly recommended that you
deactivate the Stop & Start system.
For more information on Driving
advice , particularly on flooded roads,
refer to the corresponding section. F
P
ress this switch.
Deactivation is confirmed by the illumination of
the indicator lamp in the control switch and the
display of a message.
Pressing the switch again reactivates the
system.
The indicator lamp in the switch goes off,
accompanied by the display of a message.

The cruise control system is a driving aid
that cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need to observe speed limits, nor the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
As a safety measure, you are advised to

Fatigue detection system
As soon as the speed of the vehicle
drops below 40 mph (65 km/h), the
system goes into standby.
The driving time is counted again once
the speed is above 40 mph (65 km/h).
It is recommended that you take a break as soon as you feel tired or at least every two hours.
The system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
Do not take the wheel if you are tired.
Driving time warning
The system triggers an alert once it detects that
the driver has not taken a break after two hours
of driving at a speed above 40 mph (65 km/h).
This alert takes the form of the display of a
message encouraging you to take a break,
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the
alert is repeated hourly until the vehicle is
stopped. The system resets itself if one of the following
conditions is met:
-

e
ngine running, the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 15 minutes,
-

t
he ignition has been switched off for a
few
m

inutes,
-

t
he driver's seat belt is unfastened and
their door is open.
Activation / Deactivation
The system is activated or deactivated via the
vehicle configuration menu.
For more information on the menu, refer to the
part covering your screen in the "Dashboard
instruments" section.
The state of the system stays in memory when
the ignition is switched off.

Lane Departure Warning System
System which, using a camera which
recognises solid or broken lines, detects the
involuntary crossing of longitudinal traffic lane
markings on the ground.
To provide safe driving, the camera analyses
the image then, if the driver's attention drops
and the speed is higher than 37 mph (60 km/h),
triggers a warning if there is an unexpected
change of direction.
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.This system is a driving aid that cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver. The detection may be impeded:
-

i
f the markings on the ground are
worn,
-

i
f there is little contrast between the
markings on the ground and the
road surface,
-

i
f the windscreen is dirty,
-

i
n certain weather conditions: fog,
heavy rain, snow, shade, bright
sunlight or direct exposure to the
sun (low sun, leaving a tunnel, etc.).Activation / Deactivation
Activation and deactivation of the
function is done by pressing this
button.
The status of the system remains in memory
when the ignition is switched off.
Detection
If an unexpected change of direction
is detected, you are alerted by
this warning lamp flashing in the
instrument panel and an audible
signal.
No warning is transmitted if a direction indicator
is active and for approximately 20 seconds
after the direction indicator is switched off.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault, this
warning lam p flashes for approximately
10 seconds then switches off.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The indicator lamp in the button indicates the
status of the function:

Blind Spot Monitoring System
This system warns the driver of the presence of
another vehicle in the blind spot angle of their
vehicle (areas masked from the driver's field
of vision), as soon as this presents a potential
danger.A fixed warning lamp appears in the door mirror
on the side in question:
-

i
mmediately, when being overtaken,
-

a
fter a delay of about one second, when
overtaking a vehicle slowly.
This system is designed to improve safety when driving and is in no circumstances a
substitute for the use of the interior rear view mirror and door mirrors. It is the driver's
responsibility to constantly check the traffic, to assess the distances and relative speeds of
other vehicles and to predict their movements before deciding whether to change lane.
This system is a driving aid that cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
Activation / Deactivation
Activation and deactivation of the system is
done in the vehicle configuration menu. This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel.
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.
To deactivate the system, go to the vehicle
configuration menu again.
The indicator lamp goes off.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towbar approved by
CITROËN.
The status of the system remains in memory on
switching off the ignition.

Low fuel level Refuelling
When the low fuel level is reached,
this warning lamp in the instrument
panel comes on, accompanied by
an audible warning, a message and
the last bar of the fuel gauge flashes
in red.
To refuel in complete safety:

F

O
pen the filler flap.
A label on the inside of the fuel filler flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to use,
depending on your engine type.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to
be registered by the fuel gauge.
When it first comes on, about 5 litres of fuel
remain in the tank.
Until sufficient fuel has been added, this
warning lamp appears every time the ignition
is switched on, accompanied by an audible
warning and a message. This audible warning
and message are repeated with increasing
frequency as the fuel level drops towards " 0".
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out. Opening the filler cap may result in an inrush of
air. This is entirely normal and results from the
sealing of the fuel system.
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start,
never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
using the key, or the START/STOP
button if your vehicle has Keyless Entry
and Starting.
