immediately. When the engine is running: the warning lamp becomes a warning if it remains on continuously or fl ashes.
This initial warning may be accompanied by an audible signal and a message which appears in the screen.
Do not ignore these warnings.

Starting and stopping

STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT

When the vehicle is stationary,
release the steering wheel adjustment
mechanism by pulling the lever.
Adjust the steering wheel for height
and reach, then lock the mechanism by
pushing the lever fully forwards.

Vehicle stationary, with
the engine running
In the event of a prolonged stop with
the engine running, the gearbox
changes automatically to neutral N
.


Stopping the vehicle

Before stopping the engine, put the
gear selector in position N
.
In all cases, it is essential to apply
the parking brake. Check that the
parking brake warning lamp is on in
the instrument panel.

Before doing anything in the
engine compartment, check that
the gear selector is in neutral N
.


Acceleration

For optimum acceleration (e.g. to
overtake another vehicle), simply
press the pedal beyond the point of
resistance at the end of its travel, by
pressing down fi rmly.

Stop & Start

STOP & START

The Stop & Start system puts the
engine temporarily on 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 consumption 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 a manual gearbox
, at speeds
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you
put the gear lever into neutral and
release the clutch pedal,

- with the 6-speed electronic
gearbox
, at a speed below 5 mph
(8 km/h), when you press the brake
pedal or put the gear selector into
position N
. 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.
With the electronic gearbox,
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
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch off
the ignition with the key.
Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not
fastened,

- the vehicle has not exceeded
6 mph (10 km/h) since the last
engine start using the key,

- the parking brake is applied 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.
In this case, the "ECO"

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

This operation is perfectly normal.

44
Stop & Start

Going into engine START mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp goes
off and the engine starts:


- with a manual gearbox
, when you
depress the clutch pedal,

- with the 6-speed electronic
gearbox
:


●
gear selector in position A
or M
,
when you release the brake
pedal,

●
or gear selector in position N
and
the brake pedal released, when
you move the gear selector to
position A
or M
,

●
or when you engage reverse
gear.


Special cases: START invoked
automatically
START is invoked automatically when:


- you open the driver's door,

- you unfasten the driver's seat belt,

- the speed of the vehicle exceeds
15 mph (25 km/h) with a manual
gearbox or 7 mph (11 km/h) with
the 6-speed electronic gearbox,

- the parking brake is being applied,

- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature,
braking assistance, ambient
temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a
system.
In this case the "ECO"

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

This operation is perfectly normal.

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 asking you to depress the
clutch pedal to restart the engine.



Deactivation

At any time, press the "ECO
OFF"
switch to deactivate the
system.
This is confi rmed by the switch warning
lamp coming on accompanied by a
message in the screen.
If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately.

HILL START ASSIST

Operation

With the brake pedal and clutch pedal
pressed, from the time you release the
brake pedal you have approximately
2 seconds before the vehicle starts to
roll back and without using the parking
brake within which to move off.
During the moving off phase, the
function is deactivated automatically,
gradually releasing the braking
pressure. During this phase, the
characteristic noise of mechanical
release of the brakes may be heard,
indicating the imminent movement of
the vehicle.

Operating fault

Hill start assist is deactivated in the
following situations:


- when the clutch pedal is released,

- when the parking brake is applied,

- when the engine is switched off,

- when the engine stalls.

If a malfunction of the system
occurs, this warning lamp
comes on accompanied
by an audible signal and
confi rmed by a message in
the screen. Contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop to have the
system checked. This function, linked with the ESP,
makes hill starts easier and is activated
in the following conditions:


- the vehicle must be stationary,
engine running, foot on the brake,

- the gradient of the road must be
steeper than 5%,

- uphill, the gearbox must be in
neutral or in a gear other than
reverse,

- downhill, reverse gear must be
engaged.
The HHC (Hill Holder Control) or Hill
Start Assist function is a driving comfort
system. It is not an automatic vehicle
parking function or an automatic
parking brake.

DRIVING SAFELY
HORN

Press the centre of the steering wheel.
PARKING BRAKE

Applying

Pull the parking brake lever up to
immobilise your vehicle.
Check that the parking brake is applied
fi rmly before leaving the vehicle.


Releasing

Pull the lever and press the button to
lower the parking brake lever.

HAZARD WARNING LAMPS

Press this button, the direction
indicators fl ash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
The hazard warning lamps should only
be used in dangerous situations, when
stopping in an emergency or when
driving in unusual conditions.
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.

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.
Automatic operation of hazard
warning lamps
When braking in an emergency,
depending on the force of deceleration,
the hazard warning lamps come
on automatically. They switch off
automatically the fi rst time you
accelerate.
It is also possible to switch them off by
pressing the switch on the dashboard.

Good Practice

In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a
steep slope in high temperatures), the
engine automatically limits its power.
In this case, the air conditioning is
automatically cut off to save engine
power.

Tyres

Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identifi cation
markings" section of chapter 8) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressures.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 6. If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the
engine as soon as possible.

Brakes

Towing increases the braking distance.
Drive at a moderate speed, change
down early and brake gradually.

Towbar

We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their
harnesses, which have been tested
and approved from the design stage of
your vehicle, and that you entrust the
fi tting of this equipment to a CITROËN
dealer.
If this equipment is not fi tted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is imperative that
it is fi tted using the electrical pre-
equipment installed at the rear of the
vehicle and in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
In accordance with the general
instructions a reminder of which has
been given above, we draw your
attention to the risk associated with
fi tting a towbar or electrical accessory
not recommended by CITROËN.
Fitting such equipment could result in
the failure of your vehicle's electronic
system. Please obtain information from
the Manufacturer before fi tting this type
of equipment.
