The ignition switch is at the
2
nd position (Ignition on) or the
" ST
ART/STOP " starting button has
been pressed. Wait until the warning lamp goes off before starting.
Once it goes off, starting is immediate, on condition
that the brake pedal remains pressed with an
automatic or electronic gearbox, or the clutch pedal is
pressed fully down with a manual gearbox.
The period of illumination of the warning lamp is
determined by the ambient conditions (up to about
thirty seconds in severe winter conditions).
If the engine does not start, switch the ignition off and
then on, wait until the warning lamp goes off again,
then start the engine.
Page 188 of 444

In wintry conditions, the warning lamp
can stay on for a longer period. When
the engine is hot, the warning lamp
does not come on.
In certain cases, you may have to apply
more force to the steering (wheels on
full lock, for example). If the engine does not start straight
away, switch off the ignition. Wait a
few moments before operating the
starter motor again. If the engine does
not start after several attempts, do not
keep trying: you risk damaging the
starter motor or the engine. Contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.In temperate conditions, do not leave
the engine at idle to warm up but move
off straight away and drive at moderate
speed.
Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion
engines emit toxic exhaust gases,
such as carbon monoxide. Danger of
intoxication and death.
In very severe wintry conditions
(temperatures below -23°C), to ensure
the correct operation and durability of
the mechanical components of your
vehicle, engine and gearbox, it is
necessary to leave the engine running
for 4 minutes before moving off.

Stop & StartThe Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...).
T he 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.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
With an electronic gearbox, for your
comfort during parking manoeuvres,
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
braking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key or the "START/STOP"
button.
The
"ECO" warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
-
w
ith a manual gearbox
, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), or vehicle stationary with
PureTech 130 petrol and BlueHDi 115 and
120 Diesel versions, when you put the gear
lever into neutral and release the clutch
pedal,
-
w
ith an electronic gearbox , at a speed
below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press
the brake pedal or place the gear lever in
position N .
-
w
ith an automatic gearbox, vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or place the gear lever in position N .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 or the "START/STOP" button.
STOP mode is not invoked when:
-
t
he vehicle is on a steep slope (up or
d ow n),
-
t
he driver's door is open,
-
t
he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
- t he vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last engine start (using
the key or the "START/STOP" button),
-
t
he electric parking brake is applied or
being applied,
-
t
he engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
-
d
emisting is active,
-
s
ome special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.
Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
In this case, the "ECO" warning lamp
flashes for a few seconds, then goes
of f.
This operation is perfectly normal.

213
Going into engine START mode
The "ECO" warning lamp goes off
and the engine starts automatically:
-
w
ith a manual gearbox , when you fully
depress the clutch pedal,
-
w
ith an electronic gearbox :
●
g
ear lever in position A or M , when you
release the brake pedal,
●
o

pedal released, when you place the gear
lever in position A or M ,
●

release the brake pedal,
●
o
r gear lever in position N and brake
pedal released, when you place the gear
lever in position
d or M,
●
o
r when you engage reverse gear.
Special cases: START invoked
automatically
With a manual gearbox in STOP mode,
if a gear is engaged without fully
depressing the clutch pedal, a warning
lamp comes on or an alert message
is displayed asking you to depress the
clutch pedal to restart the engine.
In this case the "ECO" warning
lamp flashes for few seconds, then
goes
off.
This operation is perfectly normal. For safety reasons or to ensure smooth
operation, START mode is invoked
automatically when:
-
y
ou open the driver's door,
-
y
ou unfasten the driver's seat belt,
-
t
he speed of the vehicle exceeds 15 mph
(25 km/h) with a manual gearbox (3 km/h
(2 mph) with PureTech 130 petrol and
BlueHDi Diesel 115 and 120 versions),

mph (11 km/h) with an electronic gearbox
or 2 mph (3 km/h) with an automatic
gearbox,

System which automatically maintains the cruising speed of the vehicle at a setting programmed by
the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal. The cruise control is switched on
manually.
It requires a minimum vehicle speed of
25 mph (40 km/h) as well as:
-
w

engagement of fourth gear or
higher,

As a safety measure, you are advised
to keep your feet near the pedals at all
times.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed setting. The cruise control system is a driving aid
that cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need to observe speed limits, nor the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The operation of the cruise control can be
