STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the en-
gine temporarily on standby - STOP
m o d e - d u r i n g s t o p s i n t h e t r a f fi c
( r e d l i g h t s , t r a f fi c j a m s , o r o t h e r . . . ) .
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 consump-
tion and exhaust emissions as well
as the noise level when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode The "ECO" warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel and the engine goes
into standby:
- with the 6-speed electronic
gearbox system , at speeds be-
l o w 4 m p h ( 6 k m / h ) , p r e s s t h e
brake pedal or put the selector
lever in position N . I f y o u r v e h i c l e i s fi t t e d w i t h t h e s y s -
tem, a time counter calculates the
sum of the periods in STOP mode
d u r i n g a j o u r n e y . I t r e s t s i t s e l f t o z e r o
every time the ignition is switched on
with the key.
Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
Never refuel with the en-
gine in STOP mode; you
must switch off the ignition
with the key.
For your comfort, during parking
maoeuvres, STOP mode is not avail-
able for a few seconds after coming
out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the func-
tionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering...
STOP mode is not invoked
when:
- the driver's door is open,
- the driver's seat belt is not fas- tened,
- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 m p h ( 1 0 k m / h ) s i n c e t h e l a s t
engine start using the key,
- the electric parking brake is ap- plied 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
t e m p e r a t u r e . . . ) w h e r e t h e e n g i n e
is needed to assure control of a
system.
In this case, the "ECO" warning
l a m p fl a s h e s f o r a f e w s e c o n d s t h e n
goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.

In the event of a malfunction with
the system, the "ECO OFF" switch
w a r n i n g l a m p fl a s h e s t h e n c o m e s
on continuously.
Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode,
the vehicle may stall. It is then nec-
essary to switch off the ignition and
start the engine again using the key. Maintenance
Operating fault
Before working under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop
& Start system to avoid any
r i s k o f i n j u r y r e s u l t i n g f r o m a u t o -
matic operation of START mode.
This system requires a battery with
a s p e c i a l s p e c i fi c a t i o n a n d t e c h n o l o g y
(reference numbers available from
C I T R O Ë N d e a l e r s ) .
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.

CRUISE CONTROL
System which automatically main-
tains the vehicle speed programmed
by the driver, without any action on
the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: the vehicle speed must
be at least 25 mph (approximately
4 0 k m / h ) a n d y o u m u s t e n g a g e :
- fourth gear on a manual gear-box,
- second gear, in sequential mode, on an electronic gearbox or au-
tomatic gearbox,
- position A on an electronic gear-
box or D on an automatic gearbox.
Steering mounted controls
The cruise control switches are lo-
cated on the left-hand side of the
steering wheel. The programmed information is
g r o u p e d t o g e t h e r i n z o n e
A of the
instrument panel screen.
Displays on the instrument
panel
Activation You can then release the accelerator
pedal. The vehicle will automatically
keep to the speed chosen.
The speed of your vehicle may vary
slightly in relation to that memo-
rised.
Y o u c a n a d j u s t t h e m e m o r i s e d s p e e d
on the instrument panel screen by
pressing on:
button 4 to increase the speed,
button 2 to decrease the speed.
Successive presses modify the cruise
s p e e d i n s t e p s o f 1 m p h ( 1 k m / h ) a n d
a sustained press in steps of 3 mph
( 5 k m / h ) .
Deactivation
Either by pressing on the brake
pedal or on the clutch pedal.
Or by pressing button 3 .
Or if either the ESP or the ASR
system is active.
The cruise control is not active if the
gear lever is in neutral.
On selection of the
function via control
1,
no cruise speed has
yet been memorised .
Programming
Rotate the control
1 to the "REG"
position.
Once the desired speed has been
reached using the accelerator, press
button 2 or button 4 . The cruise
speed is then memorised. It is dis-
p l a y e d i n z o n e A of the instrument
panel. These actions cause
the information
"OFF"
to appear on the instru-
ment panel screen.
These actions do not
cancel the cruise speed
which remains displayed
in the instrument panel.
The cruise control cannot, in any circum-
stances, take the place of the obser-
vance of speed limits or of the vigilance
and responsibility of the driver.
