The system is reactivated automaticallyat every new star t using the key.
Reactivation
This system requires a specific battery with aspecial specification and technology (reference numbers available from a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN
introduces the risk of malfunction of the system. In the event of a malfunction with the s
ystem,
the "ECO OFF"switch warning lamp flashes,
then comes on continuously.
have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Operating fault
Maintenance
Before doing anything under the bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of STA R T mode.
The Stop & Star t system makes use of advanced technology. All work on this type of battery must be done only by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifiedworkshop. Pr
ess the "ECO OFF"switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the switch warning lamp going off and the
display of a message.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, thevehicle may stall. All of the instrumentpanel warning lamps come on.Depending on version, an alert message may also be displayed askingyou to put the gear lever into position Nand put your foot on the brake pedal.
It is then necessary to switch off the ignition, then restart the engine using the key.

Driving
Blind spot sensors
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 asses 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 vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
)
On 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 warnin
g lamp appears in the door mirror on
the side in question:
- immediatel
y, when being overtaken,
- after a delay of about one second, when
over taking a vehicle slowly.

Operating fault
In the event of a fault, the warning lamp in the
button flashes then goes off.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.
The system may suffer temporary interference in certain weather conditions (rain, hail...).
In par ticular, driving on a wet surfaceor 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 thatthe sensors are not covered by mud, ice or snow. Take care not to cover the warningzone in the door mirrors or thedetection zones on the front and rear bumpers with adhesive labels or other objects; they may hamper the correct operation of the system.
)To deactivate the system, press this buttonagain; the warning lamp goes off.
The state of the system remains in memory on switching off the ignition.
The system is automaticallydeactivated when towing with a towbar approved by CITROËN.

System which prevents the vehicle fromexceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached, pressing the accelerator pedal no longer has
any effect.
Speed limiter
The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to respect speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance andresponsibility on the par t of the driver.

Operation
The speed limiter is switched onmanually:
it requires a programmed speed of at least
20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched offby manual foperation of the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly
beyond the point of resistance.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
The pro
grammed speed remains in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.

Operation
The cruise control is switched on
manually: it
requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40 km/h) and engagement of:
- fourth gear on the manual gearbox,
- second gear on the electronic gearbox system or automatic gearbox, in sequentialdriving mode,
- position A
on the electronic gearboxsystem or Don an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off
manually for by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or
on triggering of the ESP system for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator
pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value.

The function displays the following types of message: The function deselects itself automatically:
- when you engage reverse gear,
- when you switch off the ignition,
- if measuring is not requested,
- within five minutes of selection of the function,
- if the vehicle speed exceeds the
threshold of 45 mph
(approx. 70 km/h) for one minute.
If the lateral distance between
your vehicle and
the parking space is too large, the system maynot be able to measure the space.
The s
ystem remains available after each measurement and can therefore measure several spaces in succession.
In poor or wintry weather, ensure that the sensors are free of dir t, ice or snow.
The parking space sensor system deactivates
the front parking sensors when measuring
forwards.
Parking possible

Parking not advised
If there is a fault, have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Checks
Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly and top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops si
gnificantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Oil level
Engine oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet for the inter val
for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliabilit
y of the engine and emission control system, the use of additives in the engine oil is prohibited.
Oil specifi cation
The oil must correspond to your engineand conform to the manufacturer'srecommendations.
Brake fluid level
Changing the fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for the inter valfor this operation.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fluid must conform to themanufacturer's recommendations and meet
the DOT4 s t a n d a r d . Th
e brake fluid level should be closeto the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
The readin
g 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 theignition is switched on using the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel, or usingthe dipstick.
When working under the bonnet, take care, as cer tain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns).
It is normal to top up the oil level
between two services. CITROËN recommends that you check the oillevel, and top up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres).

Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be changed.
Coolant specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never exceed it. When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is regulated by the fan. This can operate with the ignition off.
On vehicles which are fitted with a par ticle
emission filter, the fan may operate after
the vehicle has been switched off, even if
the en
gine is cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised,
wait at least one hour after switching off the engine before carrying out any work.
To a v o i d a ny risk of scalding, unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the level.
Power steering fluid level
The power steering fluid level should
be close to the "MA X" mark. Unscrew
the cap, with the engine cold,
to check the level. To check the level or top up the
fluid on vehicle fitted with headlamp
washers
, immobilise the vehicle and switch of the engine.
