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
This indicator lamp comes on in the instrument 
panel  and   the   engine   goes   into   standby  
au
tomatically:
-
 
w
 ith a manual gearbox , at speeds below 
12
  mph   (20   km/h),   or   vehicle   stationary  
(
with   PureTech   130,   THP   165   and  
B
lueHDi   100, 115 and 120 versions), when 
you
  place   the   gear   lever   in   neutral,   and   you  
r
elease the clutch pedal,
-
 
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 
available for a few seconds after 
coming
  out   of   reverse   gear.
The Stop & Start system does not affect 
the functionality 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,
-
 
d
 emisting   is   selected,
-
 
s
 ome   special   conditions   (battery   charge,  
e
ngine   temperature,   braking   assistance,  
a
mbient   temperature...)   where   the   engine   is  
n
eeded   to   assure   control   of   a   system.
In this case, this indicator lamp flashes 
for  a   few   seconds   then   goes   off.
This operation is perfectly normal.

Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in the four 
tyres,
  once   the   vehicle   is   moving.
It
  compares   the   information   given   by   the   four  
w
heel speed sensors with reference values, 
which must be reinitialised ever y time the 
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel 
changed .
The
  system   triggers   an   alert   as   soon   as   it  
d
etects a drop in the inflation pressure of one 
or
  more   tyres. The under-inflation detection system 
does
  not   replace   the   need   for   vigilance  
o
n   the   part   of   the   driver.
This system does not avoid the need to 
check
  the   tyre   pressures   (including   the  
s
pare wheel) every month as well as 
before
  a   long   journey.
Driving
  with   under-inflated   tyres   impairs  
r
oad   holding,   extends   braking   distances  
a
nd causes premature tyre wear, 
particularly under arduous conditions 
(high
  loading,   high   speed,   long   journey).
System
  which   automatically   checks   the   pressures   of   the   tyres   while   driving.
The inflation pressures defined for 
your vehicle can be found on the tyre 
pressure
  label.
For more information on the 
Identification markings , refer to the 
corresponding
 s
ection.
Tyre
  pressures   should   be   checked  
w
hen the tyres are "cold" (vehicle 
stopped
  for   1   hour   or   after   a   journey   of  
l
ess   than   6   miles   (10   km)   at   moderate  
s
peeds).
Other wise
  (when   hot),   add   0.3   bar   to  
t
he   pressures   shown   on   the   label.
Driving
  with   under-inflated   tyres

Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to

The petrol or Diesel engine of your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter, a device which 
helps to reduce the level of harmful emissions 
in
  the   exhaust   gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded 
fuel.
The
  filler   neck   is   narrower,   allowing   only  
u
nleaded   petrol   nozzles   to   be   introduced.
If you have put in the wrong fuel 
for your vehicle, you must have the 
fuel tank drained and filled with 
the correct fuel before star ting the 
engine.
Fuel cut- of f
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device 
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a 
collision.
Misfuel prevention (Diesel)*
Operation
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the 
fuel   filler   neck   of   your   Diesel   vehicle,   it   comes  
i
nto   contact   with   the   flap.   The   system   remains  
c
losed   and   prevents   filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type 
filler nozzle. Mechanical   device   which   prevents   filling   the   tank   of   a   Diesel   vehicle   with   petrol.   It   avoids   the   risk   of  
e
ngine   damage   that   can   result   from   filling   with   the   wrong   fuel.
It remains possible to use a fuel can to 
fill   the   tank.
In   order   to   ensure   a   good   flow   of   fuel,  
d
o not place the nozzle of the fuel can 
in direct contact with the flap of the 
misfuel prevention device and pour 
s l ow l y.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may 
be different in other countries, the 
presence of the misfuel prevention 
device
  may   make   refuelling   impossible.
Before
  travelling   abroad,   we  
r
ecommend   that   you   check   with   the  
C
ITROËN   dealer   network,   whether   your  
v
ehicle is suitable for the fuel pumps in 
the
  country   in   which   you   want   to   travel.
