Malfunction
Gear efficiency indicator
(Depending on engine.)
This system reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one or more gears.
Gear engagement recommendations are
only optional. In fact, the configuration of the
road, the traffic density and safety remain
determining factors when choosing the best
gear. Therefore, the driver remains responsible
for deciding whether or not to follow the
system's advice.
This function cannot be deactivated.With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual operation.
The information appears in the
instrument panel in the form of an
arrow and the recommended gear.
The system adapts its gear shift
recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the
driver's requirements (power, acceleration,
b r a k i n g , e t c .) .
The system never suggests:
-
e
ngaging first gear,
-

Downhill , with the vehicle stationary and
reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held for

fault in the system occurs, these warning
lamps come on.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.Stop & Start
The Stop & Start function puts the engine
temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
phases when the vehicle is stopped (red lights,
queues, etc.). The engine restarts automatically
– START mode – as soon as the driver wishes
to move off again.
Primarily designed for urban use, the function
is intended to reduce fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise level
when stationary.
The function does not affect the functionalities
of the vehicle, in particular the braking.

Driving on flooded roads
Before entering into a flooded area, it is
strongly recommended that you deactivate
the Stop & Start system.
For more information on Driving
recommendations , particularly on
flooded roads, refer to the corresponding

Deactivation/Reactivation
The function is activated by default when the
ignition is switched on.
To deactivate/reactivate the function: F

After the engine has restarted, STOP
mode is not available until the vehicle has
reached a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h).

Cruise control – particular
recommendations
For the safety of everyone, only use the
cruise control where the driving conditions
allow running at a constant speed and
keeping an adequate safety distance.
Remain vigilant when the cruise control
is activated. If you hold one of the speed
setting modification buttons, a very rapid
change in the speed of your vehicle may
o c c u r.
When descending a


steep hill, the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the set speed. Brake if
necessary to control the speed of your
vehicle.
On steep climbs or when towing, the set
speed may not be reached or maintained. Exceeding the programmed speed
setting
The speed setting can be exceeded
temporarily
by pressing the accelerator
pedal (the programmed speed flashes).
To return to the speed setting, release
the accelerator pedal (when this speed is
reached again, the display of the speed
stops flashing).
Operating limits
Never use the system in the following
situations:
-

i
n an urban area with the risk of
pedestrians crossing the road,
-

i
n heavy traffic (except versions with
the Stop & Go function),
-

o
n winding or steep roads,
-

o
n slippery or flooded roads,
-

i
n unfavourable climatic conditions,
-

d
riving on a speed circuit,
-

d
riving on a rolling road,
-

u
se of snow chains, non-slip covers or
studded tyres.
Programmable cruise
control
Refer to the General recommendations
on the use of driving and manoeuvring
aids and to Cruise control – par ticular
recommendations .
This system automatically keeps
the vehicle's speed at the cruise
value programmed by the driver
(speed setting), without using the
accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on manually.
It requires a
minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40


km/h).
With a
manual gearbox, it requires the
engagement of third gear or higher.
With an automatic gearbox, it requires the
engagement of mode D or of second gear or
higher in mode M .
The cruise control remains active after
changing gear regardless of the gearbox
type on engines fitted with Stop & Start.
