Operating fault
In some cases, such as the maintaining of a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment, it may be useful to deactivate the
Stop & Start.
Deactivation can be requested at any time once
the ignition has been switched on.
If the engine is in STOP mode, it restarts
straight away.
The Stop & Start is reactivated automatically
each time the ignition is switched on.
Deactivation / Reactivation
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall. All of the instrument panel
warning lamps come on.
Depending on version, an alert message may
also be displayed asking you to put the gear
lever into position N and put your foot on the
brake pedal.
It is then necessary to switch off the ignition,
then restart the engine.
The Stop & Start requires a 12
V
battery with special technology and
specifications. All work on this type of
battery must be carried out exclusively
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
For more information on the 12 V
battery , refer to the corresponding
section. In the event of a malfunction with
the system, the "ECO OFF" switch
warning lamp flashes, then comes on
continuously.

Lane departure warning system
System which detects the involuntary crossing
of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the
ground (solid or broken line).
Sensors, fitted below the front bumper, trigger
a warning if the vehicle drifts over a lane
marking (speed higher than 50 mph (80 km/h)).
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.The lane departure warning system
cannot in any circumstances replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
It is necessary to observe driving
regulations and take a break every
two
hours.
Deactivation
F Press this button again, the indicator lamp goes off.
The status of the system remains in the
memory when the ignition is switched off. No warning is transmitted while the direction
indicator is active and for approximately
20
seconds after the direction indicator is
switched off.
A warning may be transmitted if a direction
marking (e.g. arrow) or non-standard marking
(e.g. graffiti) is crossed.
Operating fault
The detection may be impeded:
- i f the sensors are dirty (mud, snow...),
-

i
f the markings on the ground are
worn,
-

i
f there is little contrast between
the markings on the ground and
the road sur face.
In the event of a malfunction, the
service warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.Detection
You are warned by the vibration of the driver's
seat cushion:
-

o
n the right-hand side, if the marking on
the ground has been crossed on the right,
-

o
n the left-hand side, if the marking on the
ground has been crossed on the left.
Activation
F When switching the ignition on or with the engine running, press this button; the
indicator lamp comes on.

Blind spot monitoring system
This driving assistance system warns the driver
of the presence of another vehicle in the blind
spot angle of their vehicle (areas masked from
the driver's field of vision), as soon as this
presents a potential danger.
Operation
This system is designed to improve safety when driving and is in no circumstances a
substitute for the use of the interior rear view mirror and door mirrors. It is the driver's
responsibility to constantly check the traffic, to assess the distances and relative speeds of
other vehicles and to predict their movements before deciding whether to change lane.
The blind spot sensor system can never replace the need for vigilance on the part of
the
d
river. F

O
n switching on the ignition, or engine
running, press this button to activate the
function; the warning lamp comes on.
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.
A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on
the side in question:
-
i
mmediately, when being overtaken,
-
a
fter a delay of about one second, when
overtaking a vehicle slowly.

Operating fault
The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather
conditions (rain, hail...).
In particular, driving on a wet sur face
or moving from a dry area to a wet area
can cause false alerts (for example, the
presence of a fog of water droplets in
the blind spot angle is interpreted as a
vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered by mud,
ice or snow.
Take care not to cover the warning
zone in the door mirrors or the
detection zones on the front and rear
bumpers with adhesive labels or other
objects; they may hamper the correct
operation of the system.
F

T

o deactivate the system, press this button
again; the warning lamp goes off.
The state of the system remains in memory on
switching off the ignition.
The system is automatically
deactivated when towing with a towbar
approved by CITROËN. In the event of a fault, the warning lamp in the
button flashes then goes off.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

FuelCapacity of the tank: approximately 60 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level in the
tank is reached, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible warning
and the display of an alert message.
When it first comes on, around
6
litres of fuel remain in the tank.
Refuelling

ake care to select the pump that delivers
the correct fuel for your vehicle.
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop &
Start, never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch off the
ignition using the key, or the START/
STOP button if your vehicle has
Keyless Entry and Starting.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to
be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may result in an inrush of
air. This vacuum is entirely normal and results
from the sealing of the fuel system.
Until sufficient fuel has been added, every time
the ignition is switched on, this warning lamp
appears, accompanied by an audible signal
and an alert message. When driving, this
audible signal and alert message are repeated
with increasing frequency, as the level drops
towards 0.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out.
