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.

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
If a malfunction of the system
occurs, this warning lamp comes
on accompanied by an audible
signal and confirmed by a
message in the screen. Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to

Maintenance
Before working under the bonnet, you
must switch off the ignition with the
key to avoid any risk of injury resulting from
automatic operation of START mode.
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.
Refer to part 8 in the "Battery" section.
The Stop & Start system makes use
of advanced technology. Specialist
knowledge is needed for any work on the
system, which can only be assured by
CITROËN dealers.

Within 2 minutes after switching off the
engine, position the ignition key in the STOP
position or remove it.
Pull the lighting stalk towards the steering
wheel.
The indicator lamp comes on in
the instrument panel.
Each action on the lighting stalk,
pulled towards the steering

3 minutes. When this time has elapsed, the
lamps are switched off automatically.
Deactivate this control by keeping the stalk
pulled towards the steering wheel for more
than 2 seconds.
If your vehicle is fitted with this function:
when you leave your vehicle, the dipped
beam headlamps remain on for the selected
duration (when leaving a car park for
example).
To set the sensitivity of the sensor,
refer to "Mode" in chapter 4
.
If your vehicle is fitted with this function, the
dipped beam headlamps are switched on
automatically if the light is poor.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor may
detect sufficient light. Therefore, the lamps
will not be switched on automatically. If
necessary, you must switch on the dipped
beam headlamps manually.
They are switched off when the light returns

"This is the speed at which the driver wishes to
travel".
This aid to driving in free-fl owing traffi c conditions
enables the vehicle to maintain a constant
speed programmed by the driver, except when a
considerable load is carried on a steep gradient.
In order to be programmed or activated,
the vehicle speed must be greater than
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h), with at least
4th gear engaged.
Function selected.
Function deactivated. If your vehicle is fitted with cruise control,
this is displayed on the instrument panel by
an indicator located in the rev counter.

If your vehicle is fi tted with
this screen, a message confi rms the action.
Programming a speed
Accelerate to the required speed, with 4th or
5th gear engaged.
Move the control upwards (+), for
approximately one second, to store this
speed.
Release the pressure on the accelerator
pedal, the vehicle will maintain this speed.
Switching off / deactivating the
function
Press the brake or clutch pedal or place
the dial in the OFF
position, the indicator is
switched off.
If the ESP or ASR comes into operation,
the cruise control function is deactivated
temporarily.
- increase the speed in steps, by means
of brief presses, or continuously by
pressing and holding the control

DEMISTING AND DEFROSTING
Manual mode
Direct the control to this air
distribution setting.
For faster and more effective
demisting and defrosting of
the windscreen:
Defrosting the rear screen
and mirrors
Only operates when the engine
is running. Pressing this button
activates the rapid demisting-
defrosting of the rear screen and
door mirrors.
This function switches off automatically to
prevent excessive energy consumption. It
stops when the engine is switched off but
resumes when the engine is started again.
Pressing this button switches the function off.
- increase the air flow setting,
- move the exterior air intake
control temporarily to air
recirculation.
Returning to the exterior air
intake position permits renewal
of the air in the passenger
compartment.
Windscreen and side windows
The ventilation outlets located at the base
of the windscreen and the side vents for the
side windows increase the effectiveness
of the demisting and defrosting. Do not
obstruct these air outlets.
The pollen filter continuously and effectively
filters dust.
Air recirculation (which can be activated by
the driver or the passenger) isolates the
passenger compartment from the exterior
atmosphere. However, this position should
only be used temporarily, normal use is to
drive with the control positioned with the
exterior air intake open.
With Stop & Start, when the heated
rear screen is switched on, the STOP
mode is not available.
