In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles
located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well
as the air extractor located in the boot.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation
of the digital air conditioning system.
Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month
to keep it in per fect working order.
Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).
We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its
special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the
occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
it checked regularly as recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.
If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
You can switch off the air conditioning (AC button) and stay in Automatic mode in order
to limit fuel consumption. If misting appears while in this mode, you can switch the air
conditioning back on temporarily to improve the situation.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the
air conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very high, first
ventilate the passenger compartment for
a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge
of water under the vehicle which is
per fectly normal.
If you want to prioritise heating, start
and leave the engine running by
pressing ECO OFF.

Dual-zone digital air conditioning
1. Automatic comfort programme
We recommend the use of one of
the three AUTO modes available:
they provide optimised regulation of
the temperature in the passenger
compartment according to the comfort value
that you have chosen.
These three modes automatically control the
system, according to the desired setting, while
also maintaining the desired comfort value.
Press the "AUTO "
button repeatedly:
- a first indicator lamp comes on; the "low"
setting mode is selected,
- a second indicator lamp comes on; the
"medium" setting mode is selected,
- a third indicator lamp comes on; the
"high" mode setting is selected.
Use the "medium" and "high" settings in
preference to maintain the comfort level at the
rear.
When the engine is cold, the air
flow will reach its optimum level
progressively, taking account of the
weather and the desired comfort level
so as to avoid too great a distribution
of cold air.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer
than the comfort value, there is no
need to change the value displayed in
order to obtain the comfort required. In
all seasons, with the windows closed
the system corrects the difference
in temperature automatically and as
quickly as possible.
This system is designed to operate effectively
in all seasons, with the windows closed.

It is recommended that you do not
apply the parking brake in very cold
conditions (ice) and during towing
(breakdown, caravan...).
For this, with the ignition on, deactivate
the automatic functions and release the
parking brake manually:
Manual gearbox:
engage first gear
or reverse.
Electronic gearbox:
select
position A
or R
.
Automatic gearbox:
select
position P
or R
.
The electric parking brake combines
2 operating modes:
- Automatic Application/Release
Application is automatic when the engine
stops, release is automatic on use of the
accelerator (this mode is activated by
default),
- Manual Application/Release
Manual application of the parking brake is
done by pulling control lever A.
Manual release is done by pulling
then
releasing the control lever, while pressing
the brake pedal.
When the driver's door is opened, there is an
audible signal and a message is displayed if
the brake is not applied.

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 lever 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 lever 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.
Return the lever 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 you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,
- if you force the lever 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 lever at N
and apply the
parking brake, unless it is programmed
in automatic mode.

Gear effi ciency indicator
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one (or more) gear(s). You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory. In fact, the
configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors when
choosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
- You are in third gear.
Example:
- You press the accelerator pedal.
- The system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear.
The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow.
The system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (slope, load, ...) and
the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking, ...).
The system never suggests:
- engaging first gear,
- engaging reverse gear.
With an electronic or automatic gearbox, the
system is only active in manual mode.
On vehicle fitted with a manual gearbox,
the arrow may be accompanied by the gear
recommended.

Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
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
the Blue HDi 120 version, when you place
the gear lever in neutral, and you release
the clutch pedal,
- with an electronic gearbox
, at speeds
below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press
the brake pedal or put the gear lever in
position N
,
- with an automatic gearbox
, vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or put 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 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 mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering...
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:
- the vehicle is on a steep slop (rising or
falling),
- 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 start using
the START/STOP button,
- the electric parking brake is applied or
being applied,
- the engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
- demisting is active,
- some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.
In this case, the "ECO"
warning lamp
flashes for a few seconds then goes
off. 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 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.
This operation is per fectly normal.

START mode is invoked automatically when:
- the driver's door is open,
- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,
- the speed of the vehicle exceeds 15 mph
(25 km/h) with a manual gearbox (2 mph
(3 km/h) with the Blue HDi 120 version),
7 mph (11 km/h) with an electronic gearbox
and 2 mph (3 km/h) with an automatic
gearbox.
- the electric parking brake is being applied,
- some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed for control of a system.
Special cases: START invoked
automatically
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.
This is confirmed by the switch warning lamp
coming on accompanied by a message in the

129Driving
The system is reactivated automatically
at every new start using 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 a
message in the screen.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the system, the
"ECO OFF"
switch warning lamp flashes then
comes on continuously.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
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 place the gear lever in
position N
and put your foot on the brake pedal.
It is then necessary to switch off the ignition and
start the engine again using the "START/STOP"
button.
Before doing anything under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
system to avoid any risk of injury
resulting from automatic operation of
START mode.
This system requires a 12 V battery with a
special specification and technology (reference
numbers available from CITROËN dealers).
Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN
introduces the risk of malfunction of the
system.
For charging, use a 12 V charger and do not
reverse the polarity.
Maintenance
The Stop & Start system makes use of
advanced technology. For any work on
the system go to a qualified workshop
with the skills and equipment required,
which a CITROËN dealer is able to
provide.
