DRIVING
HILL START ASSIST
System which holds your vehicle tem-
porarily (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 station-
ary, with your foot on the brake
pedal,

- in particular conditions on a
slope,

- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist cannot be deac-
tivated.

Operation

Operating fault

If a malfunction of the system oc-
curs, these warning lamps come
on. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop to have the sys-
tem checked.
On an ascending slope, with the
vehicle stationary, the vehicle is
held for a brief moment when you
release the brake pedal:



- provided you are in fi rst gear or
neutral on a manual gearbox,

- provided you are in position A

or M
with the electronic gearbox
system,

- provided you are in position D
or
M
on an automatic gearbox.
On a descending slope, with the
vehicle stationary and reverse
gear engaged, the vehicle is held
momentarily when you release
the brake pedal.



Do not exit the vehicle while
it is being held in the hill
start assist phase.
If you need to exit the ve-
hicle with the engine running, man-
ually apply the parking brake and
ensure that the warning lamp P

(red) in the instrument panel is on
(not fl ashing).

IX
153
DRIVING
The Stop & Start system puts the en-
gine temporarily into standby - STOP
mode - during stops in the traffi c (red
lights, traffi c jams, or other...). The en-
gine restarts automatically - START
mode - as soon as you want to move
off. The restart takes place instantly,
quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop &
Start system reduces fuel consump-
tion and exhaust emissions as well
as the noise level when stationary.

Operation


Going into engine STOP mode

The "ECO"
warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and
the engine goes into standby:


- with the electronic gearbox
system
, at speeds below 4 mph
(6 km/h), press the brake pedal or
put the gear lever in position N
. If your vehicle is fi tted with the sys-
tem, a time counter calculates the
sum of the periods in STOP mode
during a journey. It rests itself to zero
every time the ignition is switched on
with the key.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available

Never refuel with the en-
gine in STOP mode; you
must switch off the ignition
with the key.
For your comfort, during parking
maoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
for example, braking, power steer-
ing... STOP mode is not invoked
when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fas-
tened,

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

- the electric parking brake is ap-
plied or being applied,

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

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature,
braking assistance, ambient
temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a
system.
In this case, the "ECO"
warning
lamp fl ashes for a few seconds then
goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.

Deactivation

Reactivation

Press the "ECO OFF"
switch again.
The system is active again; this is
confi rmed by the switch warning

gearbox
system
:


- gear lever in position A
or M
, re-
lease the brake pedal,

- or gear lever in position N
and the
brake pedal released, move the
gear lever to position A
or M
,

START mode is invoked au-
tomatically when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fas-
tened,

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

- the electric parking brake is be-
ing applied,

- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature,
braking assistance, ambient tem-
perature...) where the engine is
needed for control of a system.
In this case the "ECO"
warning lamp
fl ashes for a few seconds, then goes
off.

This operation is perfectly normal.


If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately.


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