Before switching off the engine, you can change   to   position   P or N   to   be   in   neutral.  
I

n   either   case,   apply   the   parking   brake   to  
i

mmobilise   the   vehicle,   unless   it   is   programmed  
i

n   automatic   mode.
If the lever is not in position P ,
  on   opening   the  
d

river's   door   or   approximately   45   seconds   after  
s

witching   off   the   ignition   there   is   an   audible  
s

ignal   and   a   message   appears:
F
 
m
ove   the   gear   selector   to   position   P;   the  
a

udible   signal   stops   and   the   message  
d

isappears.
Operating fault
Whenever parking, you must apply the parking brake   to   immobilise   the   vehicle,   if   automatic  
o

peration   has   been   deactivated.
Parking the vehicle
In all circumstances, ensure that the gear   selector   is   in   position   P before
leaving
  your   vehicle. In the event of a fault with the
gearbox,
  the   service   warning   lamp  
c

omes   on   in   the   instrument   panel,  
a

ccompanied   by   a   message   and   an  
a

udible
 s
ignal.
In   this   case   the   gearbox   goes   into   back-up  
m

ode   and   stays   in   3
rd gear. You may then feel a n
oticeable
 
jolt
 
when
 
going   from   P to R   and   from  
N

to R .
 
This
 
jolt
 
does
  not   present   any   risk   to   the  
g

earbox.
Do
 
not
 
exceed
 
60
 
mph   (100   km/h)   while   also  
o

bserving
 
legal
 
speed   limits.
Have
 
it
 
checked
 
by
 
a
  CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w

orkshop.
In the event of a battery failure, use the
chock
 
to
 
immobilise
 
the
 
vehicle.

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine   restarts   automatically   -   START   mode   -   as   soon   as   you   want   to   move   off.   The   restart   takes   place   instantly,   quickly   and   silently.
Operation
Going into engine STOP
mode
The "ECO" warning   lamp   comes   on   in   the  i
nstrument   panel   and   the   engine   goes   into  
s

tandby
 a
utomatically:
-
 
w
ith a manual gearbox ,
  at   speeds   below  
1

2   mph   (20   km/h),   or   vehicle   stationary  
(

with   PureTech   130,   THP   165   and   BlueHDi  
1

00,   115   and   120   versions),   when   you  
p

lace   the   gear   lever   in   neutral,   and   you  
r

elease   the   clutch   pedal,
-
 
w
ith an ETG6 electronic gearbox , at
speeds
  below   5   mph   (8   km/h),   when   you  
p

ress   the   brake   pedal   or   place   the   gear  
s

elector lever in position N ,
-
 
w
ith an automatic gearbox , with the
vehicle stationary, when you press the
brake
  pedal   or   place   the   gear   selector   lever  
i

n position N . Never
  refuel   with   the   engine   in   STOP  
m

ode;   you   must   switch   off   the   ignition  
w

ith   the   START/STOP   button.
For
  your   comfort,   during   parking  
m

anoeuvres,   STOP   mode   is   not  
a

vailable   for   a   few   seconds   after  
c

oming   out   of   reverse   gear.
STOP
  mode   does   not   affect   the  
f

unctionality of the vehicle, such as for
example,
  braking,   power   steering...
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:
-  t he   driver's   door   is   open,
-
 
t
he   driver's   seat   belt   is   not   fastened,
-
 
t
he   vehicle   has   not   exceeded   6   mph  
(

10 km/h)   since   the   last   engine   start   using  
t

he   START/STOP   button,
-
 
t
he   electric   parking   brake   is   applied   or  
be

ing
 a
pplied,
-
 
t
he   engine   is   needed   to   maintain   a  
c

omfortable   temperature   in   the   passenger  
c

ompartment,

e

ngine   temperature,   braking   assistance,  
a

mbient   temperature...)   where   the   engine   is  
n

eeded   to   assure   control   of   a   system.
In this case, the "ECO"
 

warning   lamp  
f

lashes   for   a   few   seconds   then   goes

Before
  doing   anything   under   the

s

ystem   to   avoid   any   risk   of   injury

Maintenance
This system requires a 12 V battery with a special   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.
