Warning and indicator lamps

Visual indicators which inform the driver of the occurrence of a malfunction (warn-
ing lamp) or of the operation of a system (operation or deactivation indicator lamp).

When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.
When the engine is started, these warning lamps should go off.
If they remain on, before moving off, refer to the information on the warning lamp
in question.

Associated warnings
The illumination, fi xed or fl ashing, of certain warning lamps may be accompanied
by an audible signal and the display of a message.

Warning lamps
When the engine is running or the vehicle is being driven, the illumination of one of the fol-
lowing warning lamps indicates a malfunction which requires action on the part of the driver.
The warning comes on in the instrument panel.

If your vehicle has a screen, a
warning lamp coming on is al-
ways accompanied by the dis-
play of an additional message,
to assist you in identifying the
problem.
If you encounter any problems,
do not hesitate to contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

cooling system. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so as
there is a risk that the engine will cut out
while driving.

HILL START ASSIST

System which keeps your vehicle im-
mobilised temporarily (approximately
2 seconds) when starting on a gradi-
ent, 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,

- when certain conditions of gradient
are met,

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

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



- if you are in fi rst gear or neutral with
a manual gearbox,

- if you are in position A
or M
with an
electronic gearbox.

- if you are in position D
or M
with an
automatic gearbox.


Operation


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

On a descending slope, with the ve-
hicle stationary and reverse gear en-
gaged, the vehicle is held for a brief
moment when you release the brake
pedal.




Operating fault

If a fault occurs with the system, these
warning lamps come on. Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop to have the system checked.

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 en-
gine 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 en-
gine goes into standby automatically:


- 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, If your vehicle is fi tted with
the system, a time coun-
ter calculates the sum of
the periods in STOP mode
d uring a journey. It resets itself to zero
every time the ignition is switched on
with the key.

- with an electronic gearbox
, at a
speed below 5 mph (8 km/h), when
you press the brake pedal or put the
gear lever into position N
. With an 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.
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 electric parking brake is applied
or being applied,

- 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.
In this case, the "ECO"
warn-
ing lamp fl ashes for a few sec-
onds, then goes off. Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch off
the ignition with the key.

This operation is perfectly normal.
