DRIVING











STOP & START

The Stop & Start system puts the en-
gine temporarily into standby - STOP
mode - during stops in the traffi c
(red lights, traffi c 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 consump-
tion and exhaust emissions as well
as the noise level when stationary.

Operation



- with the electronic
gearbox

system
, at speeds below 4 mph
(6 km/h), press the brake pedal or
put the gear lever in position N
.
Going into engine STOP mode

The "ECO"
warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and
the engine goes into standby:
If your vehicle is fi tted
with the system, a time
counter calculates the
sum of the periods in
STOP mode during a journey. It rests
itself to zero every time the ignition
is switched on with the key.

For your comfort, during parking
maoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the func-
tionality of the vehicle, such as for ex-
ample, braking, power steering...

Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
In this case, the "ECO"

warning lamp fl ashes for a
few seconds then goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.
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 mph (10 km/h) since the last
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
temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a
system.

CHECKING LEVELS

Check all of these levels regularly
and top them up if necessary, unless
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have
the corresponding system checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

Oil level


Oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet for de-
tails of the interval for this operation.

Oil specifi cation
The oil must correspond to your
engine and conform to the manufac-
turer's recommendations.



Brake fluid level


Fluid change
Refer to the servicing booklet for de-
tails of the interval for this operation.
This fl uid must be changed regu-
larly. Fluid which has been used for
too long may cause a loss of braking
effi ciency.

Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations
and meet the DOT4 standard.
The reading will only be
correct if the vehicle is on
level ground and the engine
has been off for more than
30 minutes.
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel, or using the dipstick.
Check this level also between each
scheduled service and before long
journeys.
Take care when doing anything
under the bonnet, as some parts
of the engine can be extremely hot
(risk of burns). The brake fl uid level should
be close to the "MAX" mark.
If it is not, check the brake
pad wear.
In order to maintain the reliability
of the engine and emission con-
trol system, the use of additives
in the engine oil is prohibited.


Power steering fluid or power
steering and suspension
fluid level
This fl uid must be topped up
by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
Dipstick
There are 2 marks on the
dipstick:


- A
= max; never exceed
this level,

- B
= min; top up the level
via the oil fi ller cap, us-
ing the type of oil suited
to your engine.
