If fitted on the vehicle, the regulation ISOFIX 
mountings are identified by labels.
The mountings comprise three rings for each 
seat:
 
Deactivating the front 
passenger airbag
 
 
Passenger airbag OFF
To guarantee the safety of your child, the 
front passenger airbag must be 
deactivated when a "rear facing" child seat is 
installed on the front passenger seat. 
Otherwise, the child risks being seriously 
injured or killed if the airbag is deployed.
Vehicles not equipped with a 
deactivation control
Installing a “rear facing” child seat on the front 
passenger seat or bench seat is expressly 
prohibited! Doing so would expose the child to 
the risk of death or serious injury in the event 
of airbag deployment.
Deactivating / Reactivating the front 
passenger airbag
►  Press this button and then, in the 
"Passenger airbag" menu, select "OFF" to 
deactivate the airbag.
►  Select “ON” to reactivate it.When the ignition is switched on, this 
warning lamp comes on accompanied by 
a message in the display screen to indicate the 
deactivation.
For more information on  Vehicle 
configuration (MODE) , refer to the 
corresponding section. 
Depending on version, it can also be deactivated 
or reactivated via the touch screen audio and 
telematics system.

Driving
Never leave the vehicle without first 
switching the ignition off with the key.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP 
mode; you must switch off the ignition 
using the key.
Special cases: STOP mode 
not available
STOP mode is not activated when:
–  the system is initialising,
–  the driver's door is open,
–  the driver's seat belt is not fastened,
–  the air conditioning is on,
–  the rear screen demisting is on,
–  the windscreen wipers are on fast wipe,
–  the reverse gear is engaged for the parking 
manoeuvre,
–  some special conditions (battery charge, 
engine temperature, particle filter regeneration, 
braking assistance, exterior temperature, etc.) 
where the engine is needed to assure control of 
a system.
–  during intensive use of Stop & Start, it may 
be deactivated to conserve starting ability; 
go to a CITROËN dealer to have the function 
reactivated.
This indicator lamp in the instrument  panel flashes for a few seconds, then 
goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Going into engine START 
mode
With a gear engaged, the automatic restarting of 
the engine is only possible by fully depressing 
the clutch pedal.
This indicator lamp goes off and the  engine restarts.
If, after an automatic restart in START mode, the 
driver does not perform any action on the vehicle 
within 3 minutes, the system stops the engine 
permanently. The engine can only be restarted 
with the ignition key.
Special cases: START mode 
activated automatically
The START mode may be invoked automatically 
in the following circumstances:
–  the vehicle is free-wheeling on a gradient,
–  the windscreen wipers are on fast wipe,
–  the air conditioning is on,
–  the engine has been stopped for around 3 
minutes with Stop & Start,
–  some special conditions (battery charge, 
engine temperature, braking assistance, air 
conditioning setting, etc.) where the engine is 
needed for control of the system or vehicle.
In this case, a message appears in the 
instrument panel screen, accompanied by 
this indicator lamp, which flashes for a few 
seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
While in STOP mode with a manual 
gearbox, if a gear is engaged without 
fully depressing the clutch pedal, restarting 
may not take place.
An indicator lamp and/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 unfastens 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 this 
indicator lamp, and the display of a message.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, the Stop & 
Start is deactivated and this warning lamp 
comes on, accompanied by a message on the 
instrument panel display.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer 
or a qualified workshop.
In the event of a malfunction in STOP mode, the 
engine can be restarted by fully depressing the 
clutch pedal or putting the gear lever in neutral.
Hill start assist
This system keeps your vehicle briefly stationary 
(for approximately 2 seconds) when making a hill 
start, while you transfer your foot from the brake 
pedal to the accelerator pedal.
This system (also called HHC - Hill Hold 
Control), integrated with the dynamic stability 
control system, is activated in the following 
conditions:
–  the vehicle must be stationary, engine running, 
foot on the brake,
–  the gradient of the road must be steeper than 
5%,
–  uphill, the gearbox must be in neutral or in a 
gear other than reverse,
–  downhill, reverse gear must be engaged.
The hill start assist system is a driving 
aid. It is not an automatic vehicle parking 
function or an automatic parking brake.
Operation 
 
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal pressed, 
from the time you release the brake pedal,

Driving
– Auto: for an automatic detection of the trailer 
length (3 m, 6 m or 9 m).
In Auto mode, an icon appears in the instrument 
panel indicating the length detected by the 
system. 
It may be necessary to make a 90° turn 
to allow the system to detect the length 
of the trailer.
When a trailer is detected, vehicle detection 
when reversing is deactivated.
Operating conditions
–  All vehicles are moving in the same direction 
and in adjacent lanes.
–  The speed of your vehicle is 6 mph (10 km/h) 
minimum. 
–  When you overtake a vehicle, the speed 
difference is less than 16 mph (25 km/h).
–  When another vehicle overtakes you, the 
speed difference is less than 31 mph (50 km/h).
Active Safety Brake with  Collision Risk Alert and 
Intelligent emergency 
braking assistance
Refer to the General recommendations on the 
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
 
 
This system:
–  warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of 
collision with the vehicle in front.
–  reduces the vehicle's speed to avoid a 
collision or limit its severity.
This system is comprised of three functions:
–  Collision  Risk Alert.
–  Intelligent emergency braking assistance.
–  Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency 
braking).
 
 
The vehicle has a camera located at the top of 
the windscreen.
This system does not avoid the need for  vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system is designed to assist the driver 
and improve road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to continuously 
monitor the state of the traffic, observing the 
driving regulations.
As soon as the system detects a  potential obstacle, it prepares the braking 
circuit in case automatic braking is needed. 
This may cause a slight noise and a slight 
sensation of deceleration.
Deactivation / Activation
By default, the system is automatically activated 
at every engine start.
This function can be set using the MODE  button; select “ON” or “OFF” in the “Active 
Safety Brake” menu.
For more information on  Vehicle 
configuration (MODE) , please refer to 
the corresponding section. 
Deactivation of the system is signalled by 
the illumination of this warning lamp, 
accompanied by the display of a message.
Operating conditions and 
limits
The ESC system must not be faulty.
The DSC/ASR systems must not be deactivated.
All passenger seat belts must be fastened.
Driving at a steady speed on roads with few 
bends is required.
In the following cases, deactivating the system 
via the vehicle's configuration menu is advised:
–  towing a trailer,
–  carrying long objects on roof bars or roof rack,
–  with snow chains fitted,
–  before using an automatic car wash, with the 
engine running,
–  before placing the vehicle on a rolling road in 
a workshop,
–  towed vehicle, engine running,
–  following an impact to the windscreen close to 
the detection camera.
It is automatically deactivated after 
detection of a fault with the brake pedal 
switch or with at least two brake lamps.
After an impact, the function  automatically stops operating. Contact a 
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to 
have the system checked.
It is possible that warnings are not given, 
are given too late or seem unjustified.
The driver must always stay in control of their 
vehicle and be prepared to react at any time 
to avoid an accident.
Cases of non-detection by the system:
–  Pedestrians, cyclists, animals, objects on the 
road.
–  Vehicles crossing your lane.
–  Vehicles driving in the opposite direction.
