Stopping the vehicle

To switch off the engine, with your foot on
the brake pedal, you should:


- select first gear or reverse.

- apply the parking brake to immobilise the
vehicle.

- switch off the ignition.
Temporarily changing gear in AUTO mode
You can also request a gear change using
the gear lever.
This action does not deactivate the
automated mode, but allows temporary
use of the sequential mode functions (for
example: for overtaking another vehicle...).

"AUTO"
remains displayed in the instrument
panel screen.

"ECO" economy programme
This programme works with the automated
mode to reduce fuel consumption.
Press button E
to activate the programme.


Sequential mode

After using the automated mode, you can
return to the sequential mode by selecting
position A
/ M
again.

"E"
appears in the instrument
panel screen, next to "AUTO"
and the gear selected by the
gearbox.
The gearbox then selects the best gear for
the speed of the vehicle, the engine speed
and the accelerator pedal position to reduce
fuel consumption.

"AUTO"
disappears and the
gears engaged appear in
succession in the instrument
panel screen.
t is not necessary to take your foot off the
accelerator pedal to change the gear.
The gear change requests are only carried
out if the engine speed permits it. The
system gives an audible signal if a gear
change is not possible.
At low speeds, when approaching a stop
or traffic lights for example, the gearbox
changes down to first gear automatically.



Release the brake pedal after the display
of the gear engaged has disappeared
from the instrument panel screen.
Never leave the vehicle with the
gearbox in neutral (position N
). In this
case, there is an audible signal on switching
off the ignition (ignition key in the STOP
position).

Reinitialisation

Turn the ignition key to the MAR
position.
Within ten seconds, the gear engaged should
appear in the instrument panel screen.
Otherwise, turn the ignition key to the
STOP
position and wait until the instrument
panel screen goes off.
Turn the ignition key to the MAR
position
again. The illumination of this warning
lamp, accompanied by a message
in the instrument panel screen,
indicates incorrect use of the
gearbox by the driver.
With the ignition on, the flashing this warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and
a message in the instrument panel screen,
indicates a fault with the gearbox.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the problem persist, have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Never select neutral N
while the vehicle
is moving.
Only engage reverse gear R
with the vehicle
immobilised and the brake pedal pressed.
You risk damaging the gearbox if you
press the accelerator and brake pedals
simultaneously.

Back-up mode - Slow move off

This procedure should be applied if pressing
the brake pedal is not recognised by the
system, or if the gearbox has fault on
starting the engine.
Press the brake pedal firmly.
Turn the ignition key to the AV V
position for
at least seven seconds.
The engine starts.
The system is in back-up mode; the gearbox
will not go beyond the 3rd gear engaged and
automated mode is not available.
If the engine does not start, have the
system checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.




Operating fault

In the event of a prolonged stop with the
engine running, it is recommended that
the gearbox be put into neutral (position N
).
With the vehicle stationary, the engine
running and first, second or reverse
gear engaged, the gearbox changes
to neutral automatically, accompanied
by an audible signal, in the following
circumstances:


- no action on the accelerator or brake
pedals for at least 3 minutes,

- brake pedal applied for more than
10 minutes,

- driver's door opened and no action on the
accelerator or brake pedals for at least
1.5 seconds,

- a gearbox fault.


When towing your vehicle, ensure that
the gearbox is in neutral (position N
).

HILL START ASSIST


An integral part of the ESP system, it
facilitates starting on a gradient by keeping
your vehicle immobilised temporarily
(approximately 2 seconds), the time it takes
to move your foot from the brake pedal to
the accelerator pedal.
This function is only active when:


- the vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,

- the engine is running,

- the gradient is steeper than 5 %,
Operation

On a slope, with engine running and the
vehicle stationary, the vehicle is held
for a brief moment when you release the
brake pedal:


- provided you are in first gear or neutral
with a manual gearbox,

- provided you are in position A
or M
with
an electronic gearbox,



On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary, the engine running and reverse
gear engaged, the vehicle is held for a brief
moment when you release the brake pedal.



After 2 seconds, if the vehicle has not
moved off, the system is deactivated
automatically by gradually reducing the
brake pressure. During this phase, the
characteristic sound of brakes being
released will be heard, indicating the
imminent movement of the vehicle.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is
being held in the hill start assist phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle while the
engine is running, apply the parking brake
manually. Then ensure that the parking
brake warning lamp is on (not flashing) in
the instrument panel.

Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the system,
these warning lamps come on in
the instrument panel. Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked.
In STOP mode of Stop & Start, hill start
assist is inactive.

- with a manual gearbox
, with the vehicle
stationary, put the gear lever into neutral,
then release the clutch pedal,

- with an electronic gearbox
, with the
vehicle stationary, hold the brake pedal
down.
Special cases: STOP mode unavailable
The STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

- the heated rear screen is on,

- the windscreen wiper is on fast wipe,

- reverse gear is engaged,

- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature, particle
filter regeneration, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a system.
In this case, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by the "S"
warning
lamp, which flashes for a
few seconds, then goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.













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 restarts
automatically - START mode - as soon as
you want to move off. The restart takes
place instantly, quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions and offers the comfort of
complete silence when stationary.

Operation


Going into engine STOP mode
The "S"
warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby: Automatic stopping of the engine is
only possible after the vehicle has
exceed a speed of about 6 mph (10 km/h),
to avoid repeated stopping of the engine
when driving slowly.
In the STOP mode Stop & Start, hill
start assist is inactive.
Never leave your vehicle with out first
turning off the ignition with the key.

Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key.

Special cases: START invoked
automatically
The START mode is invoked automatically
when:


- the vehicle's is free wheeling on a slope,

- the windscreen wiper is on fast wipe,

- the engine has been stopped for around
3 minutes with Stop & Start,

- some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a system.
Good practice
With a manual gearbox in STOP mode, if a
gear is engaged without fully depressing the
clutch pedal, restarting may not take place.
A warning lamp or message is displayed
in the instrument panel asking you to fully
depress the clutch pedal to allow restarting.
With the engine stopped in STOP mode,
if the driver unfasten's their seat belt and
opens a front door, the engine can only
be restarted using the ignition key. This is
indicated by an audible signal, accompanied
by flashing of the service warning lamp and
a message in the instrument panel screen.
If following an automatic restart in START
mode, the driver takes no action on the
the vehicle during the next 3 minutes, the
system stops the engine definitively. The
engine can then only be restarted using the
key.

Going into engine START mode
The "S"
warning lamp goes off and
the engine starts:


- with a manual gearbox
, depress the
clutch pedal,

- with an electronic gearbox :


●
gear lever in position A
or M
, release the
brake pedal,

●
or engage reverse gear.

In this case, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by the "S"
warning
lamp, which flashes for a few
seconds, then goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.
In STOP mode, moving the gear lever
on an electronic gearbox starts the
engine, in anticipation of moving off.
If the engine stops automatically when
the vehicle is on a slope, as hill start
is only active with the engine running, it is
necessary to restart the engine by engaging
a forward gear and releasing the brake
pedal.

Deactivation


To give precedence to the control of
the temperature in the passenger
compartment, the Stop & Start system
should be deactivated to allow continuous
operation of the air conditioning.


The system is reactivated automatically
at every new start using the key.
At any time, press the "S - OFF"
switch to
deactivate the system.
This is confirmed by the switch warning lamp
coming on accompanied by a message in
the instrument panel screen.
If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately.

Operating fault
Maintenance

In the event of a fault with
the system, the Stop & Start
system is deactivated and the
service warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by a message in the
instrument panel screen.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In the event of an operating fault with STOP
mode, it is possible to restart the engine by
depressing the clutch pedal fully and putting
the gear lever into neutral. Before working under the bonnet, you
must switch off the ignition with the
key to avoid any risk of injury resulting from
automatic operation of START mode.
This system requires a specific battery
with a special specification and technology
(reference numbers available from a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by
CITROËN introduces the risk of malfunction
of the system.
The Stop & Start system makes use
of advanced technology. Specialist
knowledge is needed for any work on the
system, which can only be assured by
CITROËN dealers.


Reactivation

Press the "S - OFF"
switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the switch warning lamp going off and a
message in the instrument panel screen.

Anti-lock braking system and
electronic brake force distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.

















BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS

Group of supplementary systems which help
you to obtain optimum braking in complete
safety in emergency situations:


- anti-lock braking system (ABS),

- electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD),

- emergency braking assistance (EBA).
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal accompanied by some noise.


When braking in an emergency, press
very fi rmly without releasing the pressure.


Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the instrument
panel screen, it indicates a fault with
the anti-lock braking system which could result
in loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the ABS
warning
lamp, accompanied by a message
in the instrument panel screen, it
indicates a fault with the electronic
brake force distribution which could result in
loss of control of the vehicle when braking.

You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.


Good practice
The ABS system does not provide shorter
braking distances. On very slippery surfaces
(black ice, oil...) the ABS can extend braking
distances. For emergency braking, press the
brake pedal hard and do not release it, even
on a slipper surface; you will then be able to
steer the vehicle and avoid an obstacle.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
In either case, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
For maximum braking effi ciency, a
bedding-in period of around 300 miles
(500 kilometres) is needed. During this period
it is recommended that you avoid harsh,
repeated or prolonged braking.

Airbags



FRONT AIRBAGS

The front airbags are fitted in the centre of
the steering wheel for the driver and in the
dashboard for the front passenger.

Deployment
They are deployed simultaneously, unless
the passenger's front airbag has been
deactivated, in the event of a serious front
impact.
The front airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard
to cushion their forward movement.
Deactivation
Only the passenger's front airbag can be
deactivated. The airbag is deactivated from
the trip computer.
The airbag warning lamp in the
instrument panel is on while the
airbag is deactivated. To assure the safety of your child, you
must deactivate the passenger airbag
when you install a rear-facing child seat on
the front passenger seat. Otherwise, the
child would risk being killed or seriously
injured if the airbag were to inflate.
Refer to the "MENU" section of
chapter 3, then select OFF
on the
"Passenger airbag" menu.
Operating fault

If the two airbag warning lamps are
on continuously, do not install a rear-
facing child seat.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message in the screen, contract
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop
without delay to have the system checked.
The airbags may no longer be deployed in the
event of a serious impact.
