Special cases: START invoked
automatically
In this case the "ECO" warning lamp f
lashes for a few seconds, then goes
o
f f.
This operation is perfectly normal. Before
doing anything under the
b
onnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
s
ystem to avoid any risk of injury
r
esulting from automatic operation of
S
TART mode.
This system requires a 12 V battery with a
s
pecial specification and technology (reference
n
umbers available from CITROËN dealers).
Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN
i
ntroduces the risk of malfunction of the
s
ystem.
For charging, use a 12 V charger and do not r
everse the polarity.
Maintenance
The Stop & Start system makes use of a
dvanced technology. For any work on
t
he system go to a qualified workshop
w
ith the skills and equipment required,
w
hich a CITROËN dealer is able to
pro
vide.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) incorporating the following systems:
-
a
nti-lock braking system (ABS) and the
e
lectronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-
e
mergency braking assistance (EBA),
-
w
heel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction
c
ontrol,
-
d
ynamic stability control (DSC).
Electronic stability control (ESC)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
a
nd contributes towards improved control in
c
orners, in particular on poor or slippery road
su
rfaces.
The
ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
em
ergency
b
raking.
The
electronic brake force distribution system
m
anages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to reach the optimum braking pressure more
q
uickly and therefore reduce the stopping
di
stance.
It
is triggered according to the speed at which
t
he brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a
r
eduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
i
ncrease in the effectiveness of the braking.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction in order to limit
w
heel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving
w
heels and on the engine. It also improves
t
he directional stability of the vehicle on
a
cceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path followed by the vehicle and that required by
t
he driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and
a
utomatically acts on the brake of one or more
w
heels and on the engine to return the vehicle
t
o the required path, within the limits of the laws
o
f physics.

Dynamic stability control (DSC)
and anti-slip regulation (ASR)The DSC system offers exceptional safety in normal driving, but this should
n
ot encourage the driver to take extra
r
isks or drive at high speed.
The
correct operation of the system
d
epends on observation of the
ma
nufacturer's
r
ecommendations
r
egarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
t
he braking components, the electronic
c
omponents and the assembly and
r
epair procedures used by CITROËN
d
ealers.
After
an impact, have the system
c
hecked by a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified
w
orkshop.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is started.
As
soon as they detect a problem of grip or
t
rajectory, these systems act on the operation if
t
he engine and brakes.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
g
round...), it may be advisable to deactivate
t
he DSC system, so that the wheels can move
f
reely and regain grip.
This
is
indicated
by
flashing
of
this
w
arning
lamp
in
the
instrument
panel.
Operating fault
But it is recommended that the system be r eactivated as soon as possible.
F
P
ress the button.
This warning lamp and the indicator lamp in the button come on: the DSC system no l
onger acts on the operation of the engine.
Reactivation
The system is reactivated automatically each time the ignition is switched back on or from
3
0 mph (50 km/h).
F
P
ress the button again to
r
eactivate it manually. If
this warning lamp comes on,
a
ccompanied by an audible signal
a
nd a message, this indicates a fault
w
ith the system.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop to have the system checked.

Fuel tank
Capacity of the tank:
- Pe trol: approximately 50 litres.
-
D
iesel: approximately 45 or 50 litres (depending on version).
Low fuel levelRefuelling
When the low fuel level is reached, t
his warning lamp in the instrument
p
anel comes on, accompanied by
a
n audible warning, a message and
t
he last bar of the fuel gauge flashes
i
n red.
To
refuel in complete safety:
F
Y
ou must switch off the engine.
F
O
pen the filler flap.
A
label on the inside of the fuel filler flap r
eminds you of the type of fuel to use,
d
epending on your engine type.
Additions
of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to
b
e registered by the fuel gauge.
When
it
first comes on, about 5 litres of fuel
remain
in
the tank.
Until
sufficient fuel has been added, this
w
arning
lamp appears every time the ignition
i
s
switched on, accompanied by an audible
w
arning
and a message. This audible warning
a
nd
message are repeated with increasing
f
requency
as the fuel level drops towards "0 ".
Refuel
as
soon as possible to avoid
r
unning out. Opening
the filler cap may result in an inrush of
a
ir. This is entirely normal and results from the
s
ealing of the fuel system.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system
in STOP mode; you must switch
o
ff the ignition with the key.
If
you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer
a
lso to the section "Running out of fuel
(D
iesel)". F
T
ake care to select the pump that delivers
t
he correct type of fuel for your vehicle.
