necessary to switch off the ignition and
start the engine again using the key.


Maintenance

Before working 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 specifi c
battery with a special specifi cation
and technology (reference numbers
available from a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by
CITROËN introduces the risk of
malfunction of the system.
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 qualifi ed workshop.

HILL START ASSIST

Operation

With the brake pedal and clutch pedal
pressed, from the time you release the
brake pedal you have approximately
2 seconds before the vehicle starts to
roll back and without using the parking
brake within which to move off.
During the moving off phase, the
function is deactivated automatically,
gradually releasing the braking
pressure. During this phase, the
characteristic noise of mechanical
release of the brakes may be heard,
indicating the imminent movement of
the vehicle.

Operating fault

Hill start assist is deactivated in the
following situations:


- when the clutch pedal is released,

- when the parking brake is applied,

- when the engine is switched off,

- when the engine stalls.

If a malfunction of the system
occurs, this warning lamp
comes on accompanied
by an audible signal and
confi rmed by a message in
the screen. Contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop to have the
system checked. This function, linked with the ESC,
makes hill starts easier and is activated
in the following conditions:


- the vehicle must be stationary,
engine running, foot on the brake,

- the gradient of the road must be
steeper than 5%,

- uphill, the gearbox must be in
neutral or in a gear other than
reverse,

- downhill, reverse gear must be
engaged.
The HHC (Hill Holder Control) or Hill
Start Assist function is a driving comfort
system. It is not an automatic vehicle
parking function or an automatic
parking brake.

Driving safely

SAFETY

ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL
(DSC)
These systems are linked and
complement the ABS.
The ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and
avoiding losses of control of the vehicle
on acceleration.
The system optimises drive to prevent
the wheels skidding, by acting on the
brakes of the drive wheels and on the
engine. It also allows the directional
stability of the vehicle to be improved
on acceleration.
Use the DSC to hold your course
without attempting to countersteer.
If there is a variation between the
trajectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the DSC
system automatically acts on the
engine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle back
on course.

Deactivating the ASR/ESC
systems
In certain exceptional conditions
(starting the vehicle when stuck in mud
or snow, or on loose ground...), it could
prove useful to deactivate the ASR and
ESC systems to make the wheels spin
and regain grip.
Operating check


Good practice

The ASR/ESC systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but
should not incite the driver to take risks
or to drive at high speed.
The operation of these systems is
ensured if the recommendations
of the manufacturer regarding
the wheels (tyres and rims), the
braking components, the electronic
components and the fi tting and repair
procedures within the CITROËN
network are observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.


Operation of the ASR and
DSC systems
The LED fl ashes
when the ASR or
DSC is triggered.

They engage again:


- automatically above 30 mph
(50 km/h), When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the warning
lamp comes on, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message in the screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop to have the system
checked.
The warning lamp may also come on if
the tyres are under-infl ated. Check the
pressure of each tyre.



- Press the button
or turn the dial
to the ESC
OFF position
(depending on
model).

-
The warning lamp comes on: the ASR and
ESC systems no longer come into play.


- manually by pressing the
button again or by turning
the dial to this position
(depending on model).

Good Practice

In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a
steep slope in high temperatures), the
engine automatically limits its power.
In this case, the air conditioning is
automatically cut off to save engine
power.

Tyres

Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identifi cation
markings" section of chapter 8) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressures.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 6.
If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the
engine as soon as possible.

Brakes

Towing increases the braking distance.
Drive at a moderate speed, change
down early and brake gradually.
Towbar

We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their
harnesses, which have been tested
and approved from the design stage of
your vehicle, and that you entrust the
fi tting of this equipment to a CITROËN
dealer.
If this equipment is not fi tted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is imperative that
it is fi tted using the electrical pre-
equipment installed at the rear of the
vehicle and in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
In accordance with the general
instructions a reminder of which has
been given above, we draw your
attention to the risk associated with
fi tting a towbar or electrical accessory
not recommended by CITROËN.
Fitting such equipment could result in
the failure of your vehicle's electronic
system. Please obtain information from
the Manufacturer before fi tting this type
of equipment.
