2010.5 Citroen NEMO warning

54
Gearbox and steering wheel 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 more than 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, a warning lamp comes on
or a message is displayed in the instrument
panel asking you to fully depress the clutch
pedal to restart the engine.
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 defi nitively. 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 :

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.
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
CITROËN dealers).
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.

Parking sensors
REAR PARKING SENSORS
The audible system consists of four
proximity sensors, fitted in the rear bumper.
It detects any obstacle which enters the
field: person, vehicle, tree, fence, behind the
vehicle during the manoeuvre.
However, it will not be able to detect
obstacles located immediately below the
bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks
cone or any other similar object may be
detected at the beginning of the manoeuvre
but may no longer be detected when the
vehicle moves close to it.
This system does not take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver. Stop the assistance
Change to neutral.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp or the service
warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied
by a message in the screen,
contact a CITROËN dealer.
Good practice
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow.
Engage reverse gear
The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more rapid as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
When the distance between the rear of
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately thirty centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous.
This function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed.
You are advised to obtain a towbar
recommended by CITROËN and have it
installed by a professional.
If anomalies are detected on engaging reverse
gear, the warning lamp comes on, possibly
accompanied by a message in the screen.

PARKING BRAKE
Applying
Pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise
your vehicle.
Check that the parking brake is applied
firmly before leaving the vehicle. If the parking brake is still on or
has not been released properly,
this is indicated by this warning
lamp which comes on on the
instrument panel.
When parking on a slope, direct your wheels
towards the pavement and pull the parking
brake lever up.
There is no advantage in engaging a gear
after parking the vehicle, particularly if the
vehicle is loaded. Releasing
Pull the lever and press the button to lower
the parking brake lever.
HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS
Press this button, the two direction
indicators flash.
They operate with the ignition off.
When the hazard warning lights are switched
on, the change of direction function, via the
right-hand or left-hand direction indicator, is
deactivated.

SAFETY
Driving safely
HORN
Press the centre of the steering wheel. 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 firmly 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.
For maximum braking efficiency, 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.

Emergency braking assistance *
System which, in an emergency, enables
you to reach the optimum braking pressure
more quickly, thus reducing the stopping
distance. The emergency braking assistance
is an integral part of the ESP system
Activation
It is brought into play by the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency.
When braking in an emergency, press firmly
without releasing the pressure.
Good practice
This system cannot be deactivated by the
driver.
* Depending on country of sale.
TRAJECTORY CONTROL SYSTEMS
Electronic stability programme (ESP)
The electronic stability programme acts on
the brake of one or more wheels and on the
engine to keep the vehicle on the trajectory
required by the driver, within the limits of the
laws of physics.
Activation
The ESP system is activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started and cannot
be deactivated.
It comes into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem.
Illumination of this warning lamp
and the warning lamp in the

"ASR OFF" button, accompanied
by a message in the instrument
panel screen, indicates a fault with the ESP
system, which is deactivated automatically.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer. Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and engine
control (MSR)
Anti-slip regulation (also known as traction
control) optimises traction, avoiding wheel
spin by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and the engine.
Engine control is an integral part of the ASR
system and intervenes when a sudden gear
change is made or of one of the driving
wheels looses grip, by reducing engine
torque to avoid loss of stability of the vehicle.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
In the event of a problem od adhesion or
trajectory, these systems come into play.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow,
on soft ground...), it may be advisable to
deactivate the ASR system, so that the
wheels can spin freely and regain grip.

 Press the "ASR OFF" button, located in
the middle of the dashboard.
If the button's warning lamp comes
on, accompained by a message in the
instrument panel screen, this indicates that
the ASR system is deactivated.
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument
panel.
