This symbol is displayed if a
gear is not engaged correctly
(selector between two posi-
tions).
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you
can engage position P
or N
to place the
gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake
to immobilise the vehicle, unless it is
programmed to automatic mode.
If the lever is not in position P
,
when the driver's door is opened
or approximately 45 seconds af-
ter the ignition is switched off,
there is an audible signal and a
message appears.
)
Return the lever to position P
;
the audible signal stops and
the message disappears.
You risk damaging the gearbox:
- if you press the accelera-
tor and brake pedals at the
same time,
- if you force the lever from po-
sition P
to another position
when the battery is fl at. When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the multifunc-
tion screen, indicates a gearbox mal-
function.
In this case, the gearbox switches to
back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear.
You may feel a substantial knock when
changing from P
to R
and from N
to R
.
This will not cause any damage to the
gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), lo-
cal speed restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
This warning lamp may also come on if
a door is opened.
Operating fault
To reduce fuel consumption
when stationary for long periods
with the engine running (traffi c
jam...), position the gear lever
at N
and apply the parking brake,
unless it is programmed in auto-
matic mode.

Deactivation
Going into engine START mode
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 the
display of a message.
Special cases: START invoked
automatically
If the system has been deacti-
vated in STOP mode, the engine
restarts immediately. The "ECO"
warning lamp goes
off and the engine starts auto-
matically:
- with a manual gearbox
, when you
fully
depress the clutch pedal,
- with the 6-speed electronic gear-
box 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.
For safety reasons or to ensure smooth
operation, START mode is invoked au-
tomatically 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 or 7 mph (11 km/h) with the
6-speed electronic gearbox system,
- the electric parking brake is being
applied,
- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature, brak-
ing assistance, ambient tempera-
ture...) where the engine is needed
to assure control of a system.
In this case the "ECO"
warning
lamp fl ashes for few seconds,
then goes off.
With a manual gearbox in STOP
mode, if a gear is engaged with-
out fully depressing the clutch
pedal, a warning lamp comes
on or an alert message is dis-
played asking you to depress
the clutch pedal to restart the
engine.
Reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF"
switch again.
The system is active again; this is con-
fi rmed by the switch warning lamp going
off and the display of a message.
The system is reactivated auto-
matically at every new start using
the key.
This operation is perfectly normal.

Maintenance
In the event of a malfunction with the
system, the "ECO OFF"
switch warn-
ing lamp fl ashes, then comes on con-
tinuously.
have it checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
Operating fault
Before doing anything under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop &
Start system to avoid any risk of
injury resulting from automatic
operation of START mode.
This system requires a specifi c battery
with a special specifi cation and technol-
ogy (reference numbers available from
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop).
Fitting a battery not listed by
CITROËN introduces the risk of mal-
function of the system.
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 qualifi ed 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 N
and put your foot
on the brake pedal.
It is then necessary to switch off
the ignition, then restart the en-
gine using the key.

:
- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press,
- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.
If speed memorisation is available and activated on your
vehicle, the programmed speed will stop at the closest
memorised speed; refer to the corresponding paragraph.
)
Switch the speed limiter on by pressing button 4
.
)
Switch the speed limiter off by pressing button 4
: the
display confi rms that it has been switched off (Pause).
Exceeding the programmed speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed
speed will not have any effect unless you press the pedal
fi rmly
past the point of resistance
.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the pro-
grammed speed, which is still displayed, fl ashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intention-
al or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically
cancels the fl ashing of the programmed speed.
Exiting the speed limiter mode
)
Turn dial 1
to the "0"
position: the
speed limiter mode is deselected. It
disappears from the screen.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the speed
limiter, the speed is cleared resulting in
fl ashing of the dashes.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
On a steep descent or in the
event of sharp acceleration, the
speed limiter will not be able to
prevent the vehicle from exceed-
ing the programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of
the pedals:
- ensure that the mat is posi-
tioned correctly,
- do not fi t one mat on top of
another.
)
