Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp comes onin the instrument panel and the enginegoes into standby automatically:
-with a manual gearbox
, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), 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 place the gear selector lever in position N ,
- with an automatic gearbox,
with the
vehicle stationary, when you press the brake pedal or place the gear selector lever in position N.If your vehicle is fitted with the system, a timecounter 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 STA R T/STOP button.
Never refuel with the engine in STOPmode; you must switch off the ignition with the STA R T/STOP button.
For your comfor t, during parkingmanoeuvres, 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 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 usingthe START/STOP button,

- the electric parking brake is applied or being applied,

- the engine is needed to maintain acomfor table temperature in the passenger compartment,

- demistin
g is active,

- some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance,ambient temperature...) where the engine isneeded to assure control of a system.

In this case, the "ECO"
warning lampflashes for a few seconds then goesoff.This operation is per fectly normal.
The Stop & Star t system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine restar ts 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 & Star t system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.

Lane departure warning system


System which, using a camera which
recognises solid or broken lines, detects the
involuntary crossing of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the ground.
To provide safe driving, the camera analyses
the image then, if the driver's attention drops,
triggers a warning if the vehicle drifts over
a lane marking (speed higher than 50 mph (80 km/h)).
This system is par ticularly useful on motor waysand main roads. A
ctivation and deactivation of the function is done in the " Driving assistance
" menu of the
touch screen tablet.
Activation / deactivation
The driver is aler ted by vibration of the seat belt (at the level of the reel):
No warning is transmitted while the direction indicator is active and for approximately 20 seconds after the direction indicator is switched off.
Detection - alert


The lane depar ture warning systemcannot, in any circumstances, replacethe need for vigilance and responsibility on the par t of the driver.

The detection may be impeded:


- if the markings on the ground are worn,

- if there is little contrast between themarkings on the ground and the road surface,

- if the windscreen is dir ty,

- in certain severe weather conditions: fog, heavy rain, snow,bright sunlight or direct exposure to the sun (low sun, leaving a tunnel, ...) and shade. In the event o
f a fault, this warninglamp comes on accompanied by anaudible signal and a message.

Safety
Intelligent traction control
s
ystem ("Snow motion")
When this warning lamp comes on,coupled with the STOPwarning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal and a
message, it indicates that there is a fault
with the electronic brake force distribution(EBFD), which could cause loss of control of the vehicle when braking.

Operation
When this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signaland a message, it indicates that there
is a fault with the ABS, which could cause loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
Your vehicle has a system to help driving onsnow: intelligent traction control.This system detects situations of difficult surface adhesion that could make it difficult to move off or make progress on deep fresh snow
or compacted snow.
In these situations
, the intelligent traction control limits the amount of wheel slip to provide the best traction and trajectory controlfor your vehicle.
In extremely severe conditions (deep snow,mud, ...), when it proves impossible to move off,
it may be useful to temporarily deactivate theESP/ASR systems to allow the wheels to spin
freely and so allow movement of the vehicle.
The use o
f snow tyres is strongly recommended on sur faces offering low levels of adhesion.

Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution
(EBFD)

When changing wheels (tyres and rims),make sure that these are approved for your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasing the pressure.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
