Anti-theft protection
Electronic engine immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic chip which has
a secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a few minutes
after the ignition is switched off and prevents
starting of the engine by anyone who does not
have the key.
In the event of a malfunction, you are informed
by a message in the instrument panel screen.
In this case, your vehicle does not start; contact
a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.
With the electronic key in the reader or the
Keyless Entry and Starting key inside the
vehicle, pressing the "START/STOP" button,
with no action on the pedals
, allows the
ignition to be switched on.
Remove the electronic key from the reader.
Press the "START/STOP" button,
the instrument panel comes on
but the engine does not start.
Press the button again to switch
off the ignition and so allow the
vehicle to be locked.
With the ignition on, the system goes
into energy economy mode when
necessary to maintain the state of
charge of the battery.
Switching off the engine leads to a loss
of braking assistance.
Emergency starting with the
Keyless Entry and Starting
system
When the electronic key is in the recognition
zone and your vehicle does not start after
pressing the "START/STOP" button:
Insert the electronic key in the reader.
Press the brake pedal on vehicles with an
automatic or electronic gearbox, or fully
declutch with a manual gearbox.
Press the "START/STOP" button.
The engine starts.
In the event of an emergency only, the engine
can be switched of without conditions. To do
this, press and hold the "START/STOP" button
for about 3 seconds.
In this case the steering column locks as soon
as the vehicle stops.
If the electronic key is no longer in the
recognition zone when driving or when you
(later) request switching off the engine, a
message appears in the instrument panel.
Emergency switch- off
Electronic key not recognised by
the "Keyless Entry and Starting"

will not be possible without the key).
123Driving
You must press the brake pedal when
starting the engine.
Whatever the circumstances, you must
manually apply the parking brake when
parking, unless the parking brake is
programmed in automatic mode.
When immobilising the vehicle, with
the engine running, you must place the
gear lever in neutral N
.
Before carrying out any work in the
engine compartment, check that the
gear lever is in neutral N
and that the
parking brake is applied.
Stopping the vehicle
With the ignition on, the
flashing of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message
in the instrument panel screen, indicates a
malfunction of the gearbox.
Have it checked by CITROËN or a qualified
workshop. Before switching off the engine, you can
choose to:
- move to position N
to engage neutral,
- leave the gear engaged; in this case, it will
not be possible to move the vehicle.
In both cases, you should apply the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle.
Operating fault
Sport setting
After selection of manual or
automated mode, press the
S
button to switch on the Sport
setting, which provides a more
dynamic driving style.
S
appears alongside the gear
engaged in the instrument panel
screen.
Press the S
button again to switch it off.
S
then disappears from the instrument
panel screen.
The Sport setting is switched off every time the
ignition is switched off.
127Driving
Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
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) or vehicle stationary with
the Blue HDi 120 version, when you place
the gear lever in neutral, and you release
the clutch pedal,
- with an electronic gearbox
, at speeds
below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press
the brake pedal or put the gear lever in
position N
,
- with an automatic gearbox
, vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or put the gear lever in 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 START/STOP button.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the START/STOP button.
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 for
example, braking, power steering...
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:
- the vehicle is on a steep slop (rising or
falling),
- 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 START/STOP button,
- 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.
In this case, the "ECO"
warning lamp
flashes for a few seconds then goes
off. 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.
This operation is per fectly normal.
129Driving
The system is reactivated automatically
at every new start using the START/
STOP button.
Reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF"
switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the switch warning lamp going off and a
message in the screen.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault 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.
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 place the gear lever in
position N
and put your foot on the brake pedal.
It is then necessary to switch off the ignition and
start the engine again using the "START/STOP"
button.
Before doing anything under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
system to avoid any risk of injury
resulting from automatic operation of
START mode.
This system requires a 12 V battery with a
special specification and technology (reference
numbers available from CITROËN dealers).
Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN
introduces the risk of malfunction of the
system.
For charging, use a 12 V charger and do not
reverse the polarity.
Maintenance
The Stop & Start system makes use of
advanced technology. For any work on
the system go to a qualified workshop
with the skills and equipment required,
which a CITROËN dealer is able to
provide.
With the engine running, press button 1
.
The activated/deactivated status when the
engine was switched off is retained when
the engine is switched on again.
The strip retracts automatically 3 seconds after
switching off the engine except in STOP mode
of Stop & Start.
Activation / Deactivation
With the engine running, adjust the
brightness of the information using
button 3
:
- towards the rear to increase the
brightness,
- towards the front to decrease the
brightness.
Brightness adjustment
We recommend that adjustments are
only made using these buttons when
the vehicle is stationary.
When stationary or while driving, no
objects should be placed around the
transparent strip (or on its cover) to
avoid blocking the strip output and
preventing its correct operation.
In certain extreme weather conditions
(rain and/or snow, bright sunshine, ...)
the head-up display may not be legible
or may suffer temporary inter ference.
Some sunglasses may hamper reading
of the information.
To clean the transparent strip, use a
clean, soft cloth (such as a spectacles
cloth or microfibre cloth). Do not use
a dry or abrasive cloth or detergent or
solvent products as these could scratch
the strip or damage the anti-reflection
coating.
Height adjustment
With the engine running, adjust the display
to the required height using button 2
:
- towards the rear to move the display up,
- towards the front to move the display
down.
