Torch


Operation

This torch operates with NiMH type
rechargeable batteries.
It has a battery life of approximately 45 minutes
and charges while you are driving.
Obser ve the polarities when fitting the
rechargeable batteries.
Never replace the rechargeable batteries
with normal disposable batteries.

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic 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.
Per fect 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

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.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key. The "ECO"
warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and the engine
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,

- 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
.
If your vehicle is fitted with the
system, a time counter calculates
the sum of the periods in STOP
mode during a journey. It resets
itself to zero every time the ignition
is switched on with the key. 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 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.


Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
In this case, the "ECO"
warning
lamp flashes for a few seconds, then
goes off.

This operation is per fectly normal.

The system is reactivated automatically
at every new start using the key.


Reactivation

This system requires a specific battery with a
special specification and technology (reference
numbers available from a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN
introduces the risk of malfunction of the
system. In the event of a malfunction with the system,
the "ECO OFF"
switch warning lamp flashes,
then comes on continuously.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Operating fault
Maintenance

Before doing anything under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
system to avoid any risk of injury
resulting from automatic operation of
START mode.
The Stop & Start system makes use
of advanced technology. All work on
this type of battery must be done only
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. Press the "ECO OFF"
switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the switch warning lamp going off and the
display of a message.

In the event of a fault in STOP
mode, the vehicle may stall. All of
the instrument panel warning lamps
come on.
Depending on version, an alert
message may also be displayed asking
you to put the gear lever into position N

and put your foot on the brake pedal.
It is then necessary to switch off the
ignition, then restart the engine using
the key.
