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
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:
- with 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 automatic gearbox, vehicle 
stationary, when you press the brake pedal 
or place the gear selector 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 down),
-
 
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.

The system is reactivated automatically 
at every new start using the key or the 
"START/STOP" button.
Reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed 
by the switch warning lamp going off and the 
display of a message.
If the system has been deactivated 
in STOP mode, the engine restarts 
immediately.
At any time, press the "ECO OFF"
 
switch to 
deactivate the system.

have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault in STOP 
mode, the vehicle may stall. All of 
the instrument panel warning lamps 
come  on.
Depending on version, an alert 
message may also be displayed asking 
you to put the gear lever into position 
n  
and put your foot on the brake pedal.
It is then necessary to switch off the 
ignition, then restart the engine using 
the key or the "START/STOP" button. Before doing any work under the 
bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start 
system to avoid the risk of injury 
related to an automatic change to 
START
  mode.
The Stop & Start system makes use of 
an advanced technology. All work on 
this type of battery must only be carried 
out by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Maintenance
This system requires the use of a 12 V battery 
of specific technology and characteristics 
(reference numbers available from a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN   would 
introduces the risk of faults with the system.
