DRIVING
Dynamic emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the ve-
hicle’s main braking system or in
an exceptional situation (e.g. driver
taken ill, under instruction, etc) pull
and hold control lever A
to stop the
vehicle.
The electronic stability programme
(ESP) provides stability during dy-
namic emergency braking.
If there is a fault with the dynamic
emergency braking, one of the fol-
lowing messages will be displayed
in the instrument panel screen:
- "Parking brake faulty".
- "Parking brake control faulty". If a failure of the ESP sys-
tem is signalled by the light-
ing of this warning lamp,
then braking stability is not
guaranteed. In this event, stability
must be assured by the driver by
repeating alternate "pull release" ac-
tions on control lever A
.
The dynamic emergency brak-
ing should only be used in ex-
ceptional circumstances.
Emergency parking brake
release
In the event of the electric parking
brake failing to release, an emergen-
cy device can be used to release the
parking brake manually, provided that
it is possible to immobilise the vehicle
while the procedure is carried out.
)
If you can start the vehicle: with
the engine running, immobilise
the vehicle by applying the foot
brake while the operation is be-
ing carried out.
)
If you are unable to start the ve-
hicle (fl at battery for example):
do not use this device and con-
tact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop. However, if
you are obliged to proceed, fi rst
immobilise your vehicle securely
and then follow the instructions
below. If the vehicle cannot be im-
mobilised, do not operate
the emergency release. Your ve-
hicle may run away if on a slope.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.

DRIVING
)
On sloping ground: immobilise
the vehicle by placing the chocks
(if your vehicle has them) in front
or behind the two front wheels,
against the slope
On level ground: immobilise the
vehicle by placing the chocks
(if your vehicle has them) in
front and behind one of the front
wheels.
)
Open the lower compartment of
the centre armrest by pulling it.
)
Ensure that the cup holder B
is
folded away.
)
Remove the rubber mat covering
the base of the armrest.
This strap does not permit
application of the parking
brake.
To re-engage the electric parking
brake (after rectifying the malfunc-
tion or battery failure), give a long
pull on the control A
until the park-
ing brake warning lamp (!) fl ashes
in the instrument panel then give a
second long pull until this warning
lamp is on fi xed.
The time required for the subse-
quent application may be longer
than during normal operation.
It is essential that the ignition is
not switched on until the parking
brake has re-engaged (fl ashing of
the warning lamp (!) in the instru-
ment panel then the warning lamp
on fi xed) to avoid damage to the
parking brake.
Take care not to allow moisture or
dust in the proximity of the diagnos-
tic socket D
which is essential for
the maintenance of your vehicle.
)
Release the strap from its loca-
tion C
.
)
Pull the strap to release the
brake. A loud knock confi rms the
release of the brake.
)
Take care to put the strap
back in its location C
correct-
ly. Otherwise, it will no longer
be possible to apply the brake.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
)
Put the rubber mat back in place
on the base of the armrest.

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.

DRIVING
- gear lever in position A
or M
, re-
lease the brake pedal,
- or gear lever in position N
and the
brake pedal released, move the
gear lever to position A
or M
,
- or engage reverse gear.
Going into engine START mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp goes
off and the engine starts with
the electronic gearbox
sys-
tem
:
Special cases: START invoked
automatically
In this case the "ECO"
warning lamp fl ashes for a
few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
START mode is invoked automati-
cally when:
- the driver's door is open,
- the driver's seat belt is not fas-
tened,
- the speed of the vehicle exceeds
7 mph (11 km/h) with the elec-
tronic gearbox system,
- the electric parking brake is being
applied,
- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature,
braking assistance, ambient tem-
perature...) where the engine is
needed for control of a system. At any time, press the "ECO
OFF"
switch to deactivate the sys-
tem.
This is confi rmed by the switch warn-
ing lamp coming on accompanied by
a message in the screen.
Deactivation
If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately.
The system is reactivated auto-
matically at every new start using
the key.
Reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF"
switch again.
The system is active again; this is
confi rmed by the switch warning
lamp going off and a message in the
screen.

DRIVING
In the event of a fault with the sys-
tem, the "ECO OFF"
switch warning
lamp fl ashes then comes on con-
tinuously.
Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode,
the vehicle may stall: all the instru-
ment panel warning lamps come on.
It is then necessary to switch off the
ignition and start the engine again
using the key.
Operating fault
The Stop & Start system
makes use of advanced tech-
nology. For any work on the sys-
tem go to a qualifi ed workshop with
the skills and equipment required,
which a CITROËN dealer is able to
provide.
Before doing anything under
the bonnet, deactivate the
Stop & Start system to avoid
any risk of injury resulting from au-
tomatic operation of START mode.
Maintenance
This system requires a 12 V battery
with a special specifi cation and tech-
nology (reference numbers available
from CITROËN dealers).
Fitting a battery not listed by
CITROËN introduces the risk of mal-
function of the system.
To charge the battery, use a 12 V
charger and observe the polarity.
