DRIVING
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
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 consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise
level when stationary.
Operation


- with a manual gearbox
, at speeds
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you
put the gear lever into neutral, and
you release the clutch pedal.

- with a 5 or 6-speed electronic
gearbox
, at speeds below 5 mph
(8 km/h), when you press the brake
pedal or put the gear lever in posi-
tion
N
.
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and
the engine goes into standby:

For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, 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 for example, braking, power
steering...
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.

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.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
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 engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the pas-
senger compartment,

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature, braking
assistance, ambient temperature...)
where the engine is needed to as-
sure control of a system.
The "ECO"
warning lamp fl ashes
for a few seconds then goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.

DRIVING
HILL START ASSIST
System which holds your vehicle tempo-
rarily (approximately 2 seconds) when
starting on a slope, the time it takes to
move your foot from the brake pedal to
the accelerator pedal.
This function is only active when:


- the vehicle is completely stationary,
with your foot on the brake pedal,

- certain conditions on a slope are
met,

- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated.
Operation

On an ascending slope, with the ve-
hicle stationary, the vehicle is held
momentarily when you release the
brake pedal:



- provided you are in automated mode
(position A
) or in manual mode
(position M
) on an electronic gearbox.

Do not leave the vehicle while it
is being held in the hill start as-
sist phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle
with the engine running, manu-
ally apply the parking brake then
ensure that the parking brake
warning lamp is on (not fl ashing)
in the instrument panel.


Operating fault

If a malfunction of the system occurs,
these warning lamps come on. Contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop to have the system checked.
On a descending slope, with the ve-
hicle stationary and reverse gear
engaged, the vehicle is held momen-
tarily when you release the brake
pedal.
