Operation

Operatin
g fault

If a fault occurs with the system, these warninglamps come on. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked.


Do not leave the vehicle while it is being held in the hill star t assist phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle whilethe engine is running, apply the parking brake manually then ensure that theparking brake warning lamp is on (notflashing) in the instrument panel.On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationar
y and reverse gear engaged, thevehicle is held for a brief moment when you
release the brake pedal.

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 & Star t system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
With the electronic gearbox system, for your comfor t 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 asbraking, power steering, for example.
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 automatically:
-with a manual gearbox , at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), when you put the gear lever into neutral and release the clutchpedal,
- with the 6-speed electronic gearbox
system, at a speed below 5 mph (8 km/h),
when you press the brake pedal or put thegear lever into position N.
If your vehicle is fitted with the system, a time counter calculates
the sum o
f the periods in STOP
mode during a journey. It resets
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 electric parking brake is applied or
bein
g applied,

- 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 modeunavailable

In this case, the "ECO"warning lamp
flashes for a few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is per fectly normal.

215
Driving

Going into engine START mode
The "ECO"warning lamp goes off and the engine star ts automatically:
-with a manual gearbox
, when you fullydepress the clutch pedal,-with the 6-speed electronic gearbox
system:●
gear lever in position Aor M
, when yourelease the brake pedal,
●
or gear lever in position Nand the brake pedal released, when you move the gear lever to position A
or M,●
or when you engage reverse gear.


Special cases: START invoked automatically

If the system has been deactivatedin STOP mode, the engine restar ts immediately.

With a manual gearbox in STOP mode,if a gear is engaged without fullydepressing the clutch pedal, a warninglamp comes on or an aler t message is displayed asking you to depress the clutch pedal to restar t the engine.

At any time, press the "ECO OFF"
switch todeactivate the system.
This is confirmed by the switch warning lamp coming on accompanied by the display of amessage.


Deactivation
In this case the "ECO"
warning lampflashes for few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is per fectly normal.
For safety reasons or to ensure smooth
operation, START mode is invoked
automatically when:
- you open the driver's door,
- you unfasten the driver's seat belt,
- the speed of the vehicle exceeds 15 mph (25 km/h) with a manual gearbox or 7 mph (11 k m/h) with the 6 -speed electronic
gearbox system,
- the electric parkin
g brake is being applied,
- some special conditions (battery charge,engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...
) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.

Parking sensors
This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) which comes within the field of detection of sensorslocated in the bumper.
Cer tain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks cone, etc.) detected initially will no longer be detected at the end of the manoeuvre due to
the presence of blind spots.


This function cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear. This is accompanied by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you exit reverse gear.


Rear parking sensors


Audible assistance

The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which
increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted b
y the speaker (right or left)
in
dicates the side on which the obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximatelythirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes continuous.



Visual assistance

This supplements the audible signal bydisplaying bars in the multifunction screen
which move progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is near, the "Danger"symbol is also displayed in the screen.
