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 Â
au
tomatically:
-
w
ith a manual gearbox , at speeds below
12
 mph  (20  km/h),  or  vehicle  stationary Â
(
with  PureTech  130,  THP  165  and Â
B
lueHDi 100, 115 and 120 versions), when
you
 place  the  gear  lever  in  neutral,  and  you Â
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 Â
i
n position N . Never
 refuel  with  the  engine  in  STOP Â
m
ode;  you  must  switch  off  the  ignition Â
w
ith  the  START/STOP  button.
For
 your  comfort,  during  parking Â
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,
-
Â
t
he  driver's  seat  belt  is  not  fastened,
-
Â
t
he  vehicle  has  not  exceeded  6  mph Â
(10
 km/h)  since  the  last  engine  start  using Â
t
he  START/STOP  button,
-
Â
t
he  electric  parking  brake  is  applied  or Â
be
ing
 a
pplied,
-
Â
t
he  engine  is  needed  to  maintain  a Â
c
omfortable  temperature  in  the  passenger Â
c
ompartment,
-
Â
d
emisting  is  selected,
-
Â
s
ome  special  conditions  (battery  charge, Â
e
ngine  temperature,  braking  assistance, Â
a
mbient  temperature...)  where  the  engine  is Â
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.
Per fect
Â
for
Â
urban
Â
use,
Â
the
Â
Stop
Â
&
Â
Start
Â
system
Â
reduces
Â
fuel
Â
consumption
Â
and
Â
exhaust
Â
emissions
Â
as
Â
well
 as  the  noise  level  when  stationary.
If your vehicle is fitted with the system, a time
counter calculates the sum of the periods in
STOP
Â
mode
Â
during
Â
a
Â
journey.
Â
It
Â
resets
Â
itself
Â
to
Â
z
ero
Â
every
Â
time
Â
the
Â
ignition
Â
is
Â
switched
Â
on
Â
with
 t
he
Â
START/STOP
Â
button.

Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with
parking. It  detects  a  parking  space  then Â
o
perates  the  steering  to  park  in  the  space.
It
 operates  the  steering  while  the  driver Â
m
anages  the  accelerator,  brakes,  gears  and Â
c
lutch  (manual  gearbox).  During  phases  of Â
e
ntry  into  and  exit  from  a  parking  space,  the Â
s
ystem provides visual and audible information
to
 the  driver  in  order  to  make  the  manoeuvres Â
s
afe.  It  may  be  necessary  to  move  for wards Â
a
nd  backwards  more  than  once. During
 a  manoeuvre  the  steering Â
w
heel  turns  quickly:  do  not  hold  the Â
s
teering  wheel,  do  not  place  your  hands Â
b
etween  the  spokes  of  the  steering Â
w
heel  and  take  care  with  loose  and Â
b
ulky  clothing,  scarves,  handbags... Â
T
here  is  a  risk  of  injury.
When
 Park  Assist  is  activated,  it Â
p
revents  a  change  to  STOP  mode  of Â
S
top  &  Start.  In  STOP  mode,  activation Â
o
f  Park  Assist  restarts  the  engine.
The
 Park  Assist  system  cannot  in  any Â
c
ircumstances replace the need for
vigilance
 on  the  part  of  the  driver.
The driver must remain in control
of
 their  vehicle  ensuring  that  the Â
s
pace  remains  clear  throughout  the Â
m
anoeuvre.
In some circumstances, the sensors
may not detect small obstacles located
in
 their  blind  spots.
The
 driver  can  take  control  at  any  time  by Â
g
ripping  the  steering  wheel. The
 Park  Assist  system  provides  assistance  for  t
he  following  manoeuvres:
A.
 E
ntry  into  a  parallel  parking  space
B.
 E
xit  from  a  parallel  parking  space
C.
 B
ay
 par
kingThe
 Park  Assist  system  takes  control Â
o
f  the  power  steering  for  a  maximum Â
o
f  4  manoeuvre  cycles.  The  function Â
i
s  deactivated  after  these  4  cycles. Â
I
f  you  think  that  your  vehicle  is  not Â
p
ositioned correctly, you should then
take
 control  of  the  steering  to  carry  out Â
t
he  manoeuvre.
The
 Park  Assist  system  cannot  work Â
w
ith  the  engine  off.

The
 driver  should  then  take  back  control  of  the Â
v
ehicle's
 s
teering.
Deactivation
The system is switched off automatically:
-  w hen  towing  a  trailer,  connected Â
e
lectrically,
-
Â
i
f  the  driver's  door  is  opened,
-
i
f the speed of the vehicle is above 42 mph
(70
 km/h).
To
 switch  the  system  of  for  a  prolonged  period, Â
c
ontact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Operating faults
In the event of a fault with the power
steering,  this  warning  lamp  flashes  in Â
t
he instrument panel, accompanied
by
 a  message.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Switching off
If the lateral distance between your
vehicle  and  the  space  is  too  great,  the s
ystem may not be able to measure the
space.
Anything
 projecting  beyond  the  envelope
 o
f the vehicle (a ladder on the roof, for
example)
 is  not  taken  into  account  by  the
 P
ark  Assist  system  during  a  manoeuvre.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that
the sensors are not covered by road
dirt,
 ice  or  snow.
In the event of a fault, have the system
checked
 by  a  CITROËN  dealer  or  a Â
q
ualified
 w
orkshop.
If
Â
the
Â
system
Â
is
Â
deactivated
Â
during
Â
a
Â
ma
noeuvre, the drive should reactivate
it
Â
to
Â
repeat
Â
the
Â
measurement. In
Â
the
Â
event
Â
of
Â
a
Â
fault,
Â
this
