MONITORING

Warning and indicator lamps

Visual indicators which inform the driver of the occurrence of a malfunction (warn-
ing lamp) or of the operation of a system (operation or deactivation indicator
lamp).

When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.
When the engine is started, these warning lamps should go off.
If they remain on, before moving off, refer to the information on the warning lamp in
question.

Associated warnings
The illumination, fi xed or fl ashing, of certain warning lamps may be accompanied
by an audible signal and a message in the multifunction screen or in the instru-
ment panel central screen associated with the satellite navigation system.

Warning lamps

When the engine is running or the vehicle is being driven, the illumination of one of the follow-
ing warning lamps indicates a malfunction which requires action on the part of the driver.
The warning comes on in the instrument panel or appears in the instrument panel central
screen associated with the satellite navigation system.
If your vehicle has a screen, a
warning lamp coming on is al-
ways accompanied by the dis-
play of an additional message,
to assist you in identifying the
problem.
If you encounter any problems,
do not hesitate to contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

HILL START ASSIST

System which keeps your vehicle im-
mobilised temporarily (approximately
2 seconds) when starting on a gradi-
ent, 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 stationary,
with your foot on the brake pedal,

- when certain conditions of gradient
are met,

- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated.

On an ascending slope, with the ve-
hicle stationary, the vehicle is held
for a brief moment when you release
the brake pedal:



- if you are in fi rst gear or neutral with
a manual gearbox,

- if you are in position A
or M
with the
electronic gearbox system.

- if you are in position D
or M
with an
automatic gearbox.


Operation


Do not leave the vehicle while it
is being held in the hill start as-
sist phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle
while the engine is running, apply
the parking brake manually then
ensure that the parking brake
warning lamp is on (not fl ashing)
in the instrument panel.

On a descending slope, with the ve-
hicle stationary and reverse gear en-
gaged, the vehicle is held for a brief
moment when you release the brake
pedal.




Operating fault

If a fault occurs with the system, these
warning lamps come on. Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop to have the system checked.

STOP & START

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 consumption 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 automatically:


- with a manual gearbox
, at speeds
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you
put the gear lever into neutral and
release the clutch pedal, If your vehicle is fi tted with
the system, a time counter
calculates the sum of the
periods in STOP mode dur-
ing a journey. It resets itself to zero ev-
ery time the ignition is switched on with
the key.

- with the 6-speed electronic gear-
box system
, at a speed below
5 mph (8 km/h), when you press the
brake pedal or put the gear lever
into position N
. With the electronic gearbox
system, for your comfort dur-
ing parking maoeuvres, STOP
mode is not available for a few
seconds after coming out of re-
verse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such
as braking, power steering, for
example.
Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
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 applied
or being applied,

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

- demisting is active,

- 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 a few seconds,
then goes off. Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch off
the ignition with the key.

This operation is perfectly normal.

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.
