CITROEN C3 AIRCROSS 2020 Owners Manual

On vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox,
the arrow may be accompanied by the
gear recommended.
Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when
starting on a gradient, the time it takes to
move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
It is only active when:
-

t
he vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
-

c
ertain slope conditions are met,
-

t
he driver’s door is closed.Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily in the hill start assist
phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
manually then ensure that the parking
brake warning lamp lights up fixed on the
instrument panel. The hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated. However, use of the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle interrupts
its operation.
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle
stationar y, the vehicle is held for a shor t
time when you release the brake pedal:
With a manual gearbox, if you are in first gear
or in neutral.
With an automatic gearbox, if you are in
position D or M . On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held for a shor t time when you
release the brake pedal.
Malfunction
If a fault in the system occurs, this warning
lamp comes on accompanied by a message.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
t emporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in 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.

Stop & Star t time counter
(minutes/seconds or hours/minutes)
For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available
for a few seconds after coming out of
reverse gear.
The Stop & Start system does not affect
the functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering, etc. Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition with
the "START/STOP" button.
If your vehicle is fitted with this system, a time
counter calculates the sum of the periods in
STOP mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not activated when:
- t he vehicle is on a steep slope (uphill or
downhill),
-

t
he driver's door is open,
-

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

t
he vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10
km/h) since the last engine start,
-

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

Deactivation/Reactivation
In this case, this indicator lamp
flashes for a few seconds then goes
of f.
This operation is perfectly normal.
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.
With/Without audio system

Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid any risk of injury resulting from an
automatic change to START mode.
Driving on flooded roads
Before driving in a flooded area, it is
strongly recommended that you deactivate
the Stop & Start system.
For more information on Driving
recommendations , particularly on
flooded roads, refer to the corresponding
section. If a fault occurs in STOP mode, the engine 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.
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 batter y,
refer to the corresponding section.
Malfunction
In the event of a fault with the system, the
button’s indicator lamp flashes for a few

Driving

133
When stationary or while driving, no objects
should be placed around the blade (or in its
recess) so as to not impede deployment of
the blade and its correct operation.
In certain extreme weather conditions
(rain and/or snow, bright sunshine, etc.)
the head-up display may not be legible or
may suffer temporary interference.
Some sunglasses may hamper reading of
the information.
To clean the blade, use a clean, soft cloth
(such as a spectacles cloth or microfibre
cloth). Do not use a dry or abrasive cloth
or detergent or solvent products as these
could scratch the blade or damage the
anti-reflection coating.
This system operates when the engine is
running, and the settings are stored when
the ignition is switched off.
Memorising speeds
This function allows speed settings to be stored
that will then be offered for configuration of two
systems: speed limiter or cruise control.
You can store up to six speed settings for each
system.
Default speed settings have already been
stored.As a safety measure, the driver must only
carry out these operations to change
speed settings when the vehicle is
stationary.

For more information on the Speed limiter
or Cruise control , refer to the corresponding
section. With this button, you can select a memorised
speed setting to use with the speed limiter or
the programmable cruise control.
Recognition of
speed limit signs and
recommendation
The units for the speed limits (mph or
km/h) depend on the country you are
driving in.
This should be taken into account in order
to obser ve the speed limit.
For the system to operate correctly when
you change country, the units for speed in
the instrument panel must be set to those
for the country you are driving in.
The automatic reading of road signs is a
driving assistance system and does not
always display speed limits correctly.
The speed limit signs present on the road
always take priority over the display by the
system.
The system cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
The driver must observe the driving
regulations and must adapt the speed of
the vehicle to suit the weather and traffic.
It is possible for the system to not display
the speed limit if it does not detect a
speed limit sign within a preset period.
The system is designed to detect signs
that conform to the Vienna Convention on
road signs. To maintain correct operation of the
system: regularly clean the area in front of
the camera.
The internal sur face of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Principles
This system allows the speed limit detected by
the camera to be displayed in the instrument
panel.
The system also processes speed limit details
from the navigation system mapping.
This system allows the speed limit detected by
the camera to be displayed in the instrument
panel.
Specific speed limits, such as those for heavy
goods vehicles, are not displayed.
The display of the speed limit in the instrument
panel is updated as you pass a speed limit sign
intended for cars (light vehicles).

It is necessary to update your navigation
mapping regularly in order to receive
accurate information on speed limits from
the system.
