T he 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 e-THP 130 and 165 petrol versions
a
nd BlueHDi 100, 115 and 120 versions),
w
hen you place the gear lever in neutral,
a
nd you release the clutch pedal,
-
w
ith an electronic gearbox, at speeds
b
elow 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press the
b
rake pedal or place the gear selector lever
i
n 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

-
t
he engine is needed to maintain a
c
omfortable temperature in the passenger
c
ompartment,
-
d
emisting is active,
-
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, the "ECO"
warning lamp
f
lashes for a few seconds then goes
o
f f.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Per fect
for
urban
use,
the
Stop
&
Start
system
reduces
fuel
consumption
and
exhaust
emissions
as
well
as the noise level when stationary.
If
your
vehicle
is
fitted
with
the
system,
a
time

ounter
calculates
the
sum
of
the
periods
in
S

mode
during
a
journey.
It
resets
itself
to
z

every
time
the
ignition
is
switched
on
with
t
he

The Stop & Start system makes use of
a
dvanced technology. For any work on

w
hich a CITROËN dealer is able to
pro
vide.
Before
doing anything under the
b
onnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
s
ystem to avoid any risk of injury
r
esulting from automatic operation of
S
TART mode.
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.

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