DRIVING
HILL START ASSIST (WITH THE 6-SPEED ELECTRONIC GEARBOX SYSTEM)
System which holds your vehicle tempo-
rarily (approximately 2 seconds) when
starting on a slope, the time it takes to
move your foot from the brake pedal to
the accelerator pedal.
This function is only active when:


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

- certain conditions on a slope are
met,

- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated.
Operation

On an ascending slope, with the ve-
hicle stationary, the vehicle is held
momentarily when you release the
brake pedal:



- provided you are in automated mode
(position A
) or in manual mode
(position M
) on an electronic gearbox.

Do not leave the vehicle while it
is being held in the hill start as-
sist phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle
with the engine running, manu-
ally apply the parking brake then
ensure that the parking brake
warning lamp is on (not fl ashing)
in the instrument panel.
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged,
the vehicle is held momentarily when
you release the brake pedal.



Operating fault

If a malfunction of the system occurs,
these warning lamps come on. Contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop to have the system checked.

DRIVING

Going into engine START mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp goes
off and the engine starts with the
electronic gearbox
system
:


- 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.

Special cases: START invoked
automatically
For reasons of safety and for your
comfort, START mode is invoked auto-
matically when:


- you open the driver's door,

- you unfasten the driver's seat belt,

- the speed of the vehicle exceeds
7 mph (11 km/h) with the electronic
gearbox system,

- 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 fl ashes
for a few seconds, then goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.





Deactivation

At any time, press the "ECO OFF"
switch
to deactivate the system.
This is confi rmed by the switch warning
lamp coming on accompanied by a mes-
sage in the screen.

If the system has been deacti-
vated in STOP mode, the engine
restarts immediately.



Reactivation

Press the "ECO OFF"
switch again.

The system is active again; this is confi rmed
by the switch warning lamp going off, accom-
panied by a message in the screen.

The system is reactivated auto-
matically at every new start using
the key.

CHECKS
















Only use products recommended
by CITROËN or products of equiv-
alent quality and specifi cation.
In order to optimise the opera-
tion of units as important as
the braking system, CITROËN
selects and offers very specifi c
products.
To avoid damaging the electrical
units, the use of a high pressure
washer in the engine compart-
ment is strictly prohibited
.

Manual parking brake

If a loss of effectiveness of this
system is noticed, the parking
brake must be checked, even
between two services.
Checking this system must be done by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
Manual gearbox

The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the servicing booklet for
the details of the level checking
interval for this component.
For information on checking
brake disc wear, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.


Brake disc wear

Brake wear depends on the
style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in
town, over short distances. It
may be necessary to have the
condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
Brake pads

The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the checking in-
terval for this component.
Electronic gearbox
Particle emission filter (Diesel)

The start of saturation of the
particle fi lter is indicated by
the temporary illumination
of this warning lamp accompanied by a
message in the multi-function screen.
As soon as the traffi c conditions per-
mit, regenerate the fi lter by driving at a
speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until
the warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indi-
cates a low additive level.

On a new vehicle, the fi rst par-
ticle fi lter regeneration opera-
tions may be accompanied by
a "burning" smell, which is per-
fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation
of the vehicle at very low speed
or at idle, you may, in excep-
tional circumstances, notice the
emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This
does not affect the behaviour of
the vehicle or the environment.

certain functions according to the level
of charge remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the
load reduction function temporarily de-
activates certain functions, such as
the air conditioning, the heated rear
screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivat-
ed automatically as soon as conditions
permit.
