If a failure of the DSC system is
signalled by the illumination of this
warning lamp, then braking stability is
not guaranteed. In this event, stability
must be assured by the driver by
repeating alternate "pull - release"
actions on control lever A.
The dynamic emergency braking
should only be used in exceptional
circumstances.
If it is not possible to immobilise the
vehicle, contact a CITROËN dealer or
a

qualified workshop.
Dynamic emergency
braking
In the event of a failure of the vehicle’s main
braking system or in an exceptional situation
(e.g. driver taken ill, under instruction, etc) pull
and hold control lever A to stop the vehicle.
The dynamic stability control system (DSC)
provides stability during dynamic emergency
braking.
If there is a fault with the dynamic emergency
braking, one of the following messages will be
displayed in the instrument panel screen:
-
"
Parking brake faulty".
-

"
Parking brake control faulty".

Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when
starting on a gradient, the time to move your
foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator
pedal.
This function is only active when:
-
t
he vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
-

i
n certain conditions on a gradient,
-

w
ith the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated.Operation
On an ascending gradient, with the vehicle
stationar y, the vehicle is held for a brief
moment when you release the brake pedal:
-

p
rovided you are in first gear or neutral on
a manual gearbox,
-

p
rovided you are in D or M on an automatic
gearbox. On a descending gradient, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held for a brief moment when you
release the brake pedal.
Do not exit the vehicle while it is being
held in the hill start assist phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
manually and ensure that the parking
brake warning lamp (in the instrument
panel) is on fixed (not flashing).

Stop & Start
Operation
- with an electronic gearbox, at speeds
below 4 mph (6 km/h), press the brake
pedal or put the gear lever in position N .
Going into engine STOP
mode
The "ECO" warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby:
If your vehicle is fitted with the
system, a time counter calculates
the sum of the periods in STOP
mode during a journey. It rests itself
to zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the key.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
In this case, the "ECO" warning
lamp flashes for a few seconds then
goes
off.
This operation is perfectly normal. 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
the key,
-

t

he electric parking brake is applied or
being applied,
-

t

he engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
-

d

emisting is active,
-

s

ome special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.
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.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key. For your comfort, during parking
maoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering...

Going into engine START
mode
The "ECO" warning lamp goes
off and the engine starts with an
electronic gearbox :
Special cases: START invoked
automatically
In this case the "ECO" warning
lamp flashes for a few seconds, then
goes

-

t

needed for control of a system. At any time, press the "ECO OFF" switch to
deactivate the system.
This is confirmed by the switch warning lamp
coming on accompanied by a message in the
screen.
Deactivation
If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately.

123
C5_en_Chap04_conduite_ed01-2014
Reactivation
In the event of a fault with the system,
the "ECO OFF" switch warning lamp flashes
then comes on continuously.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall: all the instrument panel
warning lamps come on. It is then necessary
to switch off the ignition and start the engine
again using the key.
Operating fault 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.
To charge the battery, use a 12 V charger and
observe the polarity. Before doing anything under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
system to avoid any risk of injury
resulting from automatic operation of
START mode.
The Stop & Start system makes use of
advanced technology. For any work on
the system go to a qualified workshop
with the skills and equipment required,
which a CITROËN dealer is able to
provide.
The system is reactivated automatically
at every new start using the key.
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the switch warning lamp going off and a
message in the screen.

The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of the
tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.The alert is maintained until the tyre or
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or a
steel rim) does not have a sensor.
Under-inflation alert
The aler t is given by the fixed illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal, and depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres,
the symbol or the message appears, according
to equipment, to identify it.

n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (according to equipment).
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of the under-inflation
warning lamp accompanied by
the illumination of the service warning lamp
indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.
This alert is also displayed when one or more
wheels is not fitted with a sensor (for example,
a space-saver or steel spare wheel).
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop
to have the system checked
or, following the repair of a puncture, to
have the original wheel, equipped with a
sensor, refitted.
Any tyre repair or replacement on a
wheel fitted with this system must be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If after changing a tyre, a wheel is not
detected by your vehicle (fitting snow
tyres for example), you must have the
system reinitialised by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

The accelerator pedal has an end-of-travel
switch. In order to exceed the memorised
maximum speed at any time, you can press
the pedal all the way down. While the speed
is being exceeded, the speed displayed in
zone A will flash. You have only to release the
accelerator pedal to return below the maximum
speed, to restore the function.

O
r stop the engine.
Operating fault
If there is a fault, a message is displayed
accompanied by an audible signal and
illumination of the SERVICE warning lamp.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Overriding the programmed
speed
In the event of a steep descent or
under excessive acceleration, the
speed limiter (which does not act
on the brakes) may not be able to
prevent the vehicle from exceeding the
programmed speed.
Use of a floor mat other than that
recommended by CITROËN may affect
the normal operation of the accelerator
pedal and hamper the operation of the
speed limiter.
Floor mats approved by CITROËN
are fitted with a 3rd fixing located in
the pedal area to avoid any risk of
inter ference with the pedals.
The speed will also flash if the speed limiter is
not able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding
the programmed speed (e.g. on a steep
descent or under excessive acceleration).
To reactivate the speed limiter, release the
accelerator to slow to a speed lower than the
programmed speed.
