Starting and stopping


Going into engine START mode


- The "S"
warning lamp goes
off and the engine restarts.
If following an automatic restart in START
mode, the driver takes no action on the
the vehicle during the next 3 minutes, the
system stops the engine definitively. The
engine can then only be restarted using
the key.
Special cases: START invoked
automatically
The START mode is invoked automatically
when:


- the vehicle's is free wheeling on a slope,

- the windscreen wiper is on fast wipe,

- the air conditioning is running,

- the engine has been stopped for around
3 minutes with Stop & Start,

- 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, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by the "S"
warning
lamp, which flashes for a few
seconds, then goes off.

Good practice


With a manual gearbox in STOP mode, if a
gear is engaged without fully depressing the
clutch pedal, restarting may not take place.
A warning lamp or message is displayed
in the instrument panel asking you to fully
depress the clutch pedal to allow restarting.
With the engine stopped in STOP mode,
if the driver unfasten's their seat belt and
opens a front door, the engine can only be
restarted using the ignition key. There is an
audible signal, accompanied by flashing of
the "S"
warning lamp and, depending on
equipment, a message is displayed.


This operation is perfectly normal.

With the vehicle in gear, automatic engine
restarting is only allowed by fully depressing
the clutch pedal.

depressing the clutch pedal fully and putting
the gear lever into neutral.
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.

Steering mounted controls


Good practice

When changing the programmed reference
speed by pressing and holding the control,
take care as the speed may increase or
decrease rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads or in heavy traffic.
On a steep gradient, the cruise control will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
The cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to comply
with speed limits nor can it replace the need
for vigilance and responsibility on the part
of driver.
It is advisable to leave your feet near the
pedals.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedals:


- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,

- never fit one mat on top of another.

Cancelling the programmed speed

When the vehicle stops, after the ignition is
switched off, the system no longer stores
any speed.
Operating fault

In the event of a malfunction, the function is
switched off and the indicator switches off.
Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the
system checked.
