The system is active again; this is confirmed by the indicator lamp in thebutton going off and illumination of
this symbol.
The Stop & Start system makes use of advanced technology. For any work onthe system go to a qualified workshop with the skills and equipment required, which a CITROËN dealer is able toprovide.

Before doing anything under the bonnet,deactivate the Stop & Start system toavoid any risk of injury resulting fromautomatic operation of STA R T m o d e .


Maintenance

This system requires a 12 V battery with a special specification and technology (reference numbers available from CITROËN dealers).
Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN introduces the risk of malfunction of
the system.
For charging, use a 12 V charger and do not
reverse the polarity.

Display of inter-vehicle time


Using a radar located at the front of the vehicle,
this system helps the driver maintain a safe distance between their vehicle and the one in
front, b
y displaying the inter-vehicle time in the instrument panel.
It is the time interval, expressed in seconds,
that separates two vehicles in line. The
recommended safe value is about 2 seconds:
refer to the legislation or highway code in force
in your country.

Activation / deactivation
)Press this button, the indicator lamp comes on.
The measurement is displayed for information only: the system takes no action on the vehicle. This system does not in anycircumstances replace the vigilance and responsibility of the driver who mustremain in control of their vehicle at all times. The system is not designed for urbanuse nor during more dynamic driving (bends, acceleration, harsh braking…)but rather when driving at stable speed.
The system is active in a speed range between 42 and 93 mph (70 and 15 0 km / h).Stationary vehicles and cer tain other road users (such as bicycles for example) are not detected. The system displays inter-vehicle timevalues of between 3 seconds and 0.5 of a second. Below 0.5 of a second, the value displayed is maintained at this level,even if the true inter-vehicle time is less.

Activation of the active cruise control automatically deactivates the system. The state o
f the system is memorised when the
ignition is switched off.
Activation of the system is done in the " Driving assistance" menu, with the ignition on.
This system is only available with the "DRIVING" display mode of the type 2instrument panel.

Once the system has been activated and the speed conditions are met, a symbol is displayed in the instrument panel.

it requires a programmed speed of at least
20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is paused
by operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly
beyond the point of resistance.
To return to the programmed speed, simply release the accelerator pedal until the vehicle returns to the programmed speed limit.
The programmed speed remains in the memory when the ignition is switched off.

Cruise control

System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.


The cruise control system cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to obser ve speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance and responsibility on the par t of the driver.
You are advised to keep your feet near the pedals at all times.
Th
e cruise control is switched on
manually: it
requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40 km/h) and engagement of:


- at least four th gear on a manual gearbox,

- second gear on an electronic or automatic gearbox, in manual driving mode,

- position A
on an electronic gearbox or D
on an automatic gearbox.

Displays in the instrument panel

Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value. Th
e cruise control is paused
manually or
by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or
on triggering of the ESP system for safety
reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal until the programmed cruise speed is reached again.

- b
y pressing the brake or clutch pedal,
- in the event of operation of the DSC, for
safety reasons,
- in the event of an action of the electric
parking brake control,
- when an inter-vehicle time threshold isreached (calculated according to therelative speeds of your vehicle and the
vehicle in front and the inter-vehicle time setting chosen),
- when the distance between your vehicle
and the one in front becomes to small,
- when the speed of the vehicle in front is to
low,
- when the speed of your vehicle becomes
too low.


The active cruise control cannot in any
circumstances replace the obser vation of speed limits, nor the the vigilanceand responsibility of the driver. It is recommended that you always keepyour feet close to the pedals.



If the speed setting selected is above93 mph (15 0 km/h), the system switches
to normal cruise control operation(a message appears in the instrument panel).
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed value, and the inter-vehicle time is reset to 2 seconds.
