Warning lampis onCauseAction/Observations


Diesel enginepre-heating
fixed. The ignition switch is at the
2nd position (ignition on). Wait until the warning lamp goes off before star ting.
The period of illumination of the warning lamp is
determined by the climatic conditions (up to about
thir ty seconds in extreme climatic conditions).
If the engine does not star t, switch the ignition off and
then on, wait until the warning lamp goes off again,
then star t the engine.
Parking brake
fixed. The parking brake is applied or not
properly released. Release the parking brake to switch off the warning lamp, keeping your foot on the brake pedal.
Obser ve the safety.
For fur ther information on the parking brake, refer to
the "Driving" section.

Stop & Startfixed. When the vehicle stops (red lights,
traffic jams, ...) the Stop & Start
system has put the engine into STOPmode.The warnin

flashes for afew seconds, then goes off.
STOP mode is temporarily unavailable. or STA R T m o d e i s i n v o ke dautomatically. Re
fer to "Driving - § Stop & Start" for special cases
with STOP mode and START mode.

Braking assistance systems
Group of supplementary systems which helpyou to obtain optimum braking in complete safety in emergency situations:
- anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
- emergency braking assistance (EBA).

Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking,
in par ticular on poor or slippery surfaces.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk of
wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself
felt by slight vibration of the brake pedal.
When braking in an emergency, pressvery firmly without releasing thepressure.


Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the STOPand ABSwarning lamps, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the screen, it
indicates a malfunction of the electronic brake force distribution which could result in loss of control of the vehicle when braking.You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.

When replacing wheels (tyres andrims), ensure that they conform to themanufacturer's recommendations.
If this warnin
g lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signaland a message in the screen,
it indicates a malfunction of the anti-lock
braking system which could result in loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
In either case, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

169Driving

Manual operation
Ddisappears and the gears engaged appear in succession on the
instrument panel.
If the en
gine speed is too low or
too high, the gear selected flashes for a fewseconds, then the actual gear engaged isdisplayed.
It is possible to change from position D(automatic) to position M
(manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
ver
y slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1automatically.
The spor t and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode.
Invalid value during manualoperation
)Select position M for sequential
changing
of the four gears. )Push the lever towards the + sign
to change up a gear.)Pull the lever towards the - sign to changedown a gear.
It is only possible to change from one gear to
another if the vehicle speed and engine speedpermit; other wise, the gearbox will operate
temporarily in automatic mode. This s
ymbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can
engage position Por Nto place the gearbox inneutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle. When the i
gnition is on, the lighting
of this warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message in the
multifunction screen, indicates a gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel
a substantial knock when changing from Pto R
and from N
to R
. This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (10 0 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
wor
kshop as soon as possible.

Operating fault
If the lever is not in position P,P
when the driver's door is opened or approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switched off, a message appears in the multifunction screen. )Return the lever to position P
; the message disappears.

There is a risk of damage to thegearbox:


- if you press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time,

- if you force the movement of the gear lever from the Pposition to another position when the battery is flat.
To r e d u c e fuel consumption when at a prolonged standstill with the enginerunning (traffic jam...), put the gear lever in the Nposition and apply the parking brake.

Stop & Start 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 restar ts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restar t 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.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
For your comfor t, during parkingmanoeuvres, 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...
Never refuel with the engine in STOPmode; you must switch off the ignition with the key. Th
e "ECO"warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the engine goes into standby:
- with a manual gearbox
, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), when you put the gear lever into neutral, and you release theclutch pedal. -with a 5 or 6-speed electronic gearbox ,
at speeds below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press the brake pedal or put the gear lever in position N.
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.
STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph(10 km/h) since the last engine star t using
the key,

- the engine is needed to maintain acomfortable temperature in the passenger compartment,

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance,ambient temperature...) where the engine isneeded to assure control of a system.


Special cases: STOP mode not available

The "ECO"warning lamp flashes for
a few seconds then goes off.
This operation is per fectly normal.

The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuineCITROËN towbar is used.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its coolingcapacity is not dependent on the engine speed. )To lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
Braking
To w i ng a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a longmountain type of descent, the use of engine braking is recommended.

Tyres
)
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the
recommended pressures.

Lighting
)
Check the electrical lighting and signallingon the trailer.
)
If the warning lamp and the
STOPwarning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.

RACING towbar

Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a towbar. The space occupied by thesport diffuser prevents this.

The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, if the GV W of the towing vehicle is reduced by an equal amount. Warning:
towing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced by 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (10 0 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the performance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient temperature is above 37 °C,
limit the towed load.
