RDS
The Radio Data System (RDS) function on the FM waveband permits:
-

automatic retuning to alternative frequencies carrying the same


station while travelling through different regions (if the transmitters
of this station cover the area through which you are travelling),
-

temporary tuning to traffic information announcements,
-


display of the name of the station, etc...
Most FM stations use RDS.
These stations transmit non-audible data in addition to their


programmes.
The data transmitted in this way allows you access to various
functions, mainly displaying of the name of the station, temporary
tuning to traffic information announcements or automatic retuning to
alternative frequencies.
RDS allows you to continue listening to the same station automatically
by means of alternative frequencies. However, alternative frequencies
may not be provided throughout the country. Radio stations do not
cover the whole country, which explains the loss of reception of the
station during a journey. Regional mode
Some stations are organised in a network.
In different regions, they broadcast different or shared programmes
depending on the time of day.
You can follow:
-

a regional station only

,
-

the entire network, with the possibility that you will be listening
to a dif

ferent programme.
RDS, AF, REG, TP, PTY
RADIO
RDS alternative frequencies
Your radio automatically checks and selects the best frequency for
the radio station to which it is tuned (if the station broadcasts on
several transmitters or frequencies).
The frequency of a radio station covers approximately 30
miles
(50
km). The change from one frequency to another explains the
loss of reception during a journey.
If the station to which you are listening does not have several
frequencies in the region in which you are currently located, you can
deactivate automatic alternative frequencies. Traffic information function
The Traf
fi c Programme (TP) function permits automatic and
temporary switching to an FM station broadcasting traffic
information.
The radio station or the source that you are listening to at this point
is paused.
Once the traffic information has ended, the system switches back to
the radio station or the source that you were listening to initially .
Programme types
Some stations offer the option of listening to a themed type of
programme as a priority, selected from the list available below:

RADIO
"TP" traffic information
The "Traffic Programme" (TP) function permits automatic
and temporary switching to an FM station broadcasting traffic
information.
The radio station or the source that you are listening to at this point
is put on hold.
Once the traffic information has ended, the system switches back to
the radio station or the source that you were listening to initially.
Press the TP button.
"TP" appears in the screen. If the
station is compatible, "RDS" also
appears.
If the radio detects traffic information, "TRAF INF" appears on the
display, followed by the frequency of the broadcasting station, then
its name.
The volume is different from that of the previous source.
Following the broadcasting of the traffic information, the volume
returns to that of the source prior to the interruption.
When "TP" appears in the screen, the radio stops only at RDS
stations broadcasting traffic information. "ALERT" emergency broadcasts
An emergency broadcast automatically and temporarily interrupts
the FM station or the source that you are listening to.
The message "ALERT" appears in the screen and the volume is
different from that of the previous source.
Following the emergency broadcast, the message disappears and
the volume returns to that of the source prior to the interruption.
"PTY" themed type of programme

Stop & Start (Auto Stop & Go) system
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "AS &G" warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel or the instrument panel screen and the engine goes into standby after a few seconds:
- with a manual gearbox , with the vehicle stationary and your foot on the brake, when you put the gear lever into neutral and release the clutch pedal.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition with the key or the START/STOP button.
When the engine is stopped automatically, the operation of certain vehicle systems, such as for example, braking, power steering... are modified. Ta k e c a r e.
Special cases: STOP mode not available
STOP mode is not invoked when: - the driver's seat belt is not fastened, - the driver's door is open, - the bonnet is open, - the minimum time period of 30 seconds since starting the engine has not elapsed, - the vehicle has not exceeded 3 mph (5 km/h) since the last engine start, - the vehicle has restarted less than 10 seconds ago, - 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.
- the "AS &G" warning lamp is flashing in the instrument panel.
This operation is perfectly normal.
The Stop & Start (Auto Stop & Go) system puts the engine temporarily into standby during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine restarts automatically as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently. Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start (Auto Stop & Go) function reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
If you move the gear lever, the "AS &G"warning lamp flashes, accompanied by an audible signal. The alert stops as soon as the gear lever is returned to the neutral position.

Petrol weights and towed loads (kg)
The values for maximum towed weights type approved according to the sales zone (see the tables on the following pages). The exact values are given in your vehicle's registration document as well as on the manufacturer's plate. They are also mentioned in sales brochures. For more details, contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
The kerb weight is equal to the unladen weight + driver (75 kg). The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced by 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of altitude. The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the per formance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient temperature is above 37 °C, limit the towed load.
The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, if the GV W of the towing vehicle is reduced by an equal amount. Please note that towing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
