INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

11 7
DRIVING
HILL START ASSIST (WITH THE 6-SPEED ELECTRONIC GEARBOX SYSTEM)
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 ash-
ing) in the instrument panel.
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged,
the vehicle is held momentarily when
you release the brake pedal.



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.

DRIVING
STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - STOP mode -
during stops in the traffi c (red lights, traf-
fi 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 the 6-speed electronic gear-
box system
, at speeds below 4 mph
(6 km/h), when you press the brake
pedal or put the gear lever in posi-
tion N
.
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... 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.

Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition 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 fas-
tened,

- 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, brak-
ing assistance, ambient tempera-
ture...) where the engine is needed
to assure control of a system.
The "ECO"
warning lamp fl ash-
es for a few seconds then goes
off.

This operation is perfectly normal.
