Starting and stopping
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.
STOP & START
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
With the vehicle stationary, put the gear
lever into neutral, then release the clutch
pedal. - 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.
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: STOP mode
unavailable
The STOP mode is not invoked when:
- the system is initialising,
- the driver's door is open,
- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,
- the air conditioning is running,
- the heated rear screen is on,
- the windscreen wiper is on fast wipe,
- reverse gear is engaged, for a parking
manoeuvre,
- 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.
The "S" warning lamp flashes for
a few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.

READY TO GO
Starting and stopping
Going into engine START mode - The "S" warning lamp goes off and the engine restarts.
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. 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 air conditioning is running,
- 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.
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. 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. There is an
audible signal, accompanied by flashing of
the "S" warning lamp and, depending on
equipment, a message is displayed.
This operation is perfectly normal.
With the vehicle in gear, automatic engine
restarting is only allowed by fully depressing
the clutch pedal.

Starting and stopping
Deactivation
At any time, press the "A - OFF" switch to deactivate
the system.
Illumination of the switch warning lamp, accompanied
by a message in the instrument panel screen,
confi rms the the instruction has been registered.
If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately.
It is necessary to deactivate the Stop &
Start system if you want to allow
continuous operation of the air conditioning.
The switch warning lamp stays on.
Reactivation
Press the "A - OFF" switch again.
The system is active again; the switch
warning lamp going off and a message
in the instrument panel screen confirm
reactivation.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the
system, the Stop & Start system
is deactivated and this 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.
Maintenance
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. Refer to the "Quick help - Flat battery"
section.

BATTERY

132
Discharged battery
The charging operation must be carried
out in a ventilated area away from
naked flames or any possible sources of
sparks to eliminate the risk of explosion
and fire.
Do not attempt to charge a frozen battery: it
must first be thawed to eliminate the risks of
explosion. If the battery has frozen, before
charging it have it checked by a specialist
who will check that the internal components
have not been damaged and that the
container is not cracked, which could mean
that there is a risk of a leak of toxic and
corrosive acid.
Proceed with a slow charge charge at low
current for a maximum pf about 24 hours to
avoid damaging the battery. The batteries contain harmful
substances such as sulphuric acid and
lead. They must be discarded in accordance
with the provisions of the law and must not,
in any circumstances, be discarded with
household waste.
Take used batteries to a special collection
point.
Before disconnecting the battery, you must
wait for 2 minutes after switching off the
ignition.
Never disconnect a terminal when the
engine is running.
Never charge a battery without first
disconnecting the terminals.
Close the windows and doors before
disconnecting the battery.
After every reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute
before starting to allow the electronic
systems to be initialised. If slight difficulties
are experienced after this, please contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

EASE OF USE and COMFORT
Ventilation
Have the additional heating checked at
least once a year at the beginning of
winter. Maintenance and repairs should only
be carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Use only genuine replacement parts.
Switching off the heating
In the case of deferred operation, the
heating stops at the end of the programmed
period.
Good practice
To avoid any risk of poisoning or
asphyxiation, the additional heating must
not be used, even for short periods, in
an enclosed space such as a garage or
workshop which is not fitted with an exhaust
gas extraction system.
The additional heating switches off when the
battery voltage is low, so as to allow engine
starting.
The additional heating is supplied by the
vehicle's fuel tank. Ensure that the low fuel
warning lamp is not on.
Always switch off the additional heating
when filling with fuel to avoid any risk of fire
or explosion. Do not park the vehicle on an inflammable
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, paper…),
there is a risk of fire.
The temperature near the heater must not
exceed 120 °C. A temperature higher than
this (for example in the case of painting in
an oven) could damage the components of
the electronic circuits.
The additional heating is fitted with a
temperature limiter which cuts off the
combustion in the event of overheating due
to a lack of coolant. Check the level and if
necessary top-up following the advice given
in the "Checks - Levels" section. Then press
the programme selection button before
switching the heating on again.
Setting the operating period
The period of operation can be set to
between 10 and 60 minutes.
Press and hold the "set" button.
At the same time press the "<"
or ">" button.
The time and the time setting
indicator come on.
Press and hold the "set" button again.
At the same time press the "<" or ">" button
again.
The programmed operating period is
displayed and the heating or ventilation
cycle indicator flashes.
Adjust the period by pressing the "<" or ">"
button.
The setting is confirmed by the period
disappearing from the screen or by pressing
the "set" button again In the case of immediate
operation, press this button again
to switch off manually.
The heating cycle indicator and the screen
go off.
