Going into engine START mode
Special cases: START invoked automatically
The "ECO" warning lamp goes off and the engine starts automatically:
- with a manual gearbox , when you fully
depress the clutch pedal, - with an electronic gearbox : ● 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 place the gear lever in position A or M , ● or when you engage reverse gear. - with an automatic gearbox: ● gear lever in position D or M , when you release the brake pedal, ● or gear lever in position N and brake pedal released, when you place the gear lever in position D or M , ● or when you engage reverse gear.
For safety reasons or to ensure smooth operation, START mode is invoked automatically when: - you open the driver's door,
- you unfasten the driver's seat belt, - the speed of the vehicle exceeds 15 mph (25 km/h) with a manual gearbox (3 km/h (2 mph) with PureTech 130 petrol and BlueHDi Diesel 115 and 120 versions), 7 mph (11 km/h) with an electronic gearbox or 2 mph (3 km/h) with an automatic gearbox, - the electric parking brake is being applied, - 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 flashes for few seconds, then goes of f.
This operation is perfectly normal.
With a manual gearbox in STOP mode, if a gear is engaged without fully depressing the clutch pedal, a warning lamp comes on or an alert message is displayed asking you to depress the clutch pedal to restart the engine.

Maintenance
In the event of a malfunction with the system, the "ECO OFF" switch warning lamp flashes, then comes on continuously. Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Operating fault
This system requires a specific battery with a special specification and technology (reference numbers available from a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop). Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN introduces the risk of malfunction of the system.
Before doing anything under the bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of START mode.
The Stop & Start system makes use of advanced technology. All work on this type of battery must be done only by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the vehicle may stall. All of the instrument panel warning lamps come on. Depending on version, an alert message may also be displayed asking you to put the gear lever into position Nand put your foot on the brake pedal.
It is then necessary to switch off the ignition, then restart the engine using the key or the "START/STOP" button.
Reactivation
The system is reactivated automatically at every new start using the key or the "START/STOP" button.
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again. The system is active again; this is confirmed by the switch warning lamp going off and the display of a message.
Deactivation
At any time, press the "ECO OFF" switch to deactivate the system. This is confirmed by the switch warning lamp coming on accompanied by the display of a message.
If the system has been deactivated in STOP mode, the engine restarts immediately.

Audio and Telematics 23
With the engine running, press to mute the sound. With the ignition off, press to switch the system on.
Volume adjustment (each source is independent, including traffic announcements (TA) and navigation instructions).
Selecting the audio source (depending on version): - "FM" / "AM" / "DAB" * stations. - "USB" memory stick. - CD player (located in front panel). - Jukebox * , after first copying audio files to
the internal memory of the system. - Telephone connected by Bluetooth * and using Bluetooth * audio streaming. - Media player connected to the auxiliary socket (jack, cable not supplied).
* Depending on equipment.
Short-cuts: using the virtual buttons in the upper band of the touch screen tablet, it is possible to go directly to the selection of audio source, the list of stations (or titles, depending on the source).
The screen is of the "resistive" type, it is necessary to press firmly, particularly for "flick" gestures (scrolling through a list, moving the map...). A simple wipe will not be enough. Pressing with more than one finger is not recognised. The screen can be used when wearing gloves. This technology allows use at all temperatures.
In very hot conditions, the volume may be limited to protect the system. The return to normal takes place when the temperature in the passenger compartment drops.
To clean the screen, use a soft non-abrasive cloth (spectacles cloth) without any additional product. Do not use pointed objects on the screen. Do not touch the screen with wet
hands.

QUESTIONANSWERSOLUTION
There is a difference in sound quality between the different audio sources.
For optimum sound quality, the audio settings for Volume, Bass, Treble, Equalizer and Loudness can be adapted to the different sound sources, which may result in audible differences when changing source.
Check that the audio settings for (Volume, Bass, Treble, Equalizer, Loudness) are adapted to the sources listened to. It is advisable to set the Audio functions (Bass, Treble, Fr-Re balance, Le-Ri balance) to the middle position, select the "Linear", musical ambience and set the loudness correction to the "Active" position in CD mode or to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.
With the engine off, the system switches off after a few minutes of use.
When the engine is switched off, the system's operating time depends on the state of charge of the battery. The switch-off is normal: the system switches to economy mode and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery.
Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery charge.
