Hill start assist
System which holds your vehicle temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when starting on a
s
lope, the time it takes to move your foot from
t
he brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
This
function is only active when:
-
t
he vehicle is completely stationary, with
y
our foot on the brake pedal,
-
c
ertain conditions on a slope are met,
-
w
ith the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated.
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle
stationary, the vehicle is held momentarily
when you release the brake pedal:
-
p
rovided you are in automated mode
(
position
A)
or in manual mode (position M)
w
ith an electronic gearbox.
Do
not leave the vehicle while it is
b
eing held in the hill start assist phase.
If
you need to leave the vehicle with
t
he engine running, manually apply
t
he parking brake then ensure that the
p

it r
equires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(
40 km/h), as well as the engagement of:
-
f
ourth gear on a manual gearbox,
-
s
econd gear on a or automatic or electronic
g

Manual gearbox
Automatic gearboxBrake pads
Brake wear depends on the style o
f driving, particularly in the case o
f vehicles used in town, over short
d
istances. It may be necessary to have
t
he condition of the brakes checked,
e
ven between vehicle services.
The
gearbox
does
not
require
any
m
aintenance
(no
oil
change).
Refer
to
the
manufacturer's
service
s
chedule
for
the
checking
interval
for
t
his
c
omponent.
Only
use products recommended by
C
ITROËN or products of equivalent
q
uality
an
d
sp
ecification.
In
order to optimise the operation of
u
nits as important as those in the
b
raking system, CITROËN selects and
o
ffers very specific products.
The
gearbox
does
not
require
any
m
aintenance
(no
oil
change).
Refer
to
the
manufacturer's
service
s
chedule
for
details
of
the
level
c
hecking
interval
for
this
component.
Electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any m aintenance (no oil change).
Refer
to the manufacturer's service
s
chedule for details of the checking
i
nterval for this component. For
information on checking brake
d
isc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
o
r a qualified workshop.
Brake disc wearParking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of e
ffectiveness of this system is
n
oticed, the parking brake must be
c
hecked, even between two services.
Unless
there
is
a
leak
in
the
circuit,
a
drop
in
t
he
brake
fluid
level
indicates
that
the
brake
p
ads
are
worn. Checking
this system must be done by a
C
ITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
After
washing
the
vehicle,
dampness,
o
r
in
wintry
conditions,
ice
can
form
o
n
the
brake
discs
and
pads:
braking

may
be
reduced.
Make

applications
to
