C5_en_Chap04_conduite_ed01-2016
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most appropriate gear.
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one (or more) gear(s). You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory. Indeed, the
configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors when
choosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.Example:
-

Y
ou are in third gear.
-

Y
ou press the accelerator pedal.
Gear shift indicator*
Operation
With an automatic gearbox, the system
is only active in manual mode.
* Depending on engine. The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow.
On vehicle fitted with a manual gearbox,
the arrow may be accompanied by the gear
recommended.
The system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (slope, load, ...) and
the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking, ...).
The system never suggests:
-
e
ngaging first gear,
-
enga
ging reverse gear,
- c hanging down.
-
T
he system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear.

Stop & Start
Operation
- with a manual gearbox, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h) with BlueHDi Diesel
versions, when you put the gear selector
into neutral and release the clutch pedal,
-

w
ith an automatic gearbox, vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or place the gear selector in position N .
Going into engine STOP
mode
The "ECO" warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
If your vehicle is fitted with the
system, a time counter calculates
the sum of the periods in STOP
mode during a journey. It resets
itself to zero every time the
ignition is switched on with the
key.
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams...).
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, when parking, STOP
is not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse.
The Stop & Start system does not affect
the functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking, power steering...

Tyre under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly
(including the spare wheel) and before
a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes
premature tyre wear, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high speed, long journey).
The tyre pressures for your vehicle can
be found on the tyre pressure label.
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres are cold (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after driving for
less then 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speed). Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the
values indicated on the label.
For more information on Identification
markings
, including the tyre pressure
label, refer to the corresponding
section. Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
Pressure sensors are located in the valve of
each tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres.
Driving

115
C5_en_Chap04_conduite_ed01-2016
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 alert 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, depending
on equipment, to identify it.

or
F

I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on 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.
This alert is also displayed when one or
more

wheels is not fitted with a sensor
(e.g. 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 (e.g. fitting
snow tyres), you must have the system
reinitialised by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.
