Emergency braking
The emergency braking must only be used in
exceptional circumstances.If a failure of the DSC system is signalled
by the illumination of this warning lamp,
then braking stability is not guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured
by the driver by repeating alternate "pull-
release" actions on the control lever A
.
In the event of a failure of the main
service brake or in an exceptional
situation (e.g. driver taken ill, under
instruction, etc) a continuous pull
on the control lever A will stop the
vehicle.
The DSC system provides stability when
braking during emergency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions, the
message "Parking brake control faulty" will be
displayed.
Special situations
To ensure correct operation, and so
your safety, the number of successive
applications and releases of the parking
brake is limited to eight cycles.
If used excessively, you are alerted by
the message "parking brake faulty" and
a flashing warning lamp. In some circumstances (engine start...),
the parking brake may adjust the level
of application itself. This is normal
operation.
To move your vehicle a few centimetres
without starting the engine, with the
ignition on, press the brake pedal and
release the parking brake by pulling
then releasing the control lever A .
Complete release of the parking brake
is indicated by the warning lamps in the
control lever A and in the instrument
panel going off and by the display of the
message "Parking brake off ".

Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, put the selector
in position P or N to place the gearbox in
neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle, unless it is programmed
to automatic mode.If the selector is not in position P ,
when the driver's door is opened or
approximately 45 seconds after the
ignition is switched off, there is an
audible signal and a message appears.
F
Re

turn the selector to position P ;
the audible signal stops and the
message disappears.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen to indicate 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 P
to R and from N to R . This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. You risk damaging the gearbox:
-
if y

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

ou force the selector from
position P to another position when
the battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffic jam...), position
the gear selector at N and apply the
parking brake, unless it is programmed
in automatic mode.

Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "EcO" w arning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
-
wi

th a manual gearbox , at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h) or vehicle stationary with
the THP 120 petrol and BlueHDi 115 and
120 Diesel versions, when you place the
gear lever in neutral and you release the
clutch pedal,
-
wi

th an automatic gearbox , vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or put 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 START/STOP

button.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the START/STOP button.
For your comfort, during parking
maoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
Stop & Start does not affect the
operation of vehicle systems such as
braking, power steering...
The Stop & Start
s

ystem puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, ...). The 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.
