Ignition switch
Switching off the engine leads to a loss o
f braking assistance.
Ignition on position (2)
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric equipment or portable devices to be charged.
Once
the state of charge of the battery drops
t
o the reserve level, the system switches to
e
nergy economy mode: the power supply is
c
ut off automatically to preserve the remaining
b
attery charge. Avoid
attaching heavy objects to the k
ey, which would weigh down on its b
lade in the ignition switch and could
c
ause a malfunction.

Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO" warning lamp comes on i
n the instrument panel and the engine g
oes into standby automatically:
-
w
ith a manual gearbox , when stationary,
in
neutral, and you release the clutch
ped
al.
-
w
ith an electronic gearbox , when
stationary
or at speeds below 5 mph
(
8 km/h) (depending on version), in neutral
(
control on N)
or when you press the brake
ped
al. Never
refuel with the engine in STOP
m
ode; you must switch off the ignition
w
ith the button.
For
your comfort, during parking
m
anoeuvres, STOP mode is not
a
vailable for a few seconds after
c
oming out of reverse gear.
STOP
mode does not affect the the
v
ehicle's systems, such as for example,
b
raking, power steering...
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked principally when:
- t he vehicle is on a steep slope (rising or
f
alling),
-
t
he driver's door is open,
-
t
he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-
t
he vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(
10 km/h) since the last engine start by the
d
river,
-
t
he engine is needed to maintain a
c
omfortable temperature in the passenger
c
ompartment,
-
d
emisting is active,
-
s
ome special conditions (battery charge,
e
ngine temperature, braking assistance,
a
mbient temperature...) where the engine is
n
eeded to assure control of a system.
In this case, the "ECO"
warning
l
amp flashes for a few seconds then
g

This operation is perfectly normal.
The
Stop

In this case the "ECO" warning lamp f
lashes for a few seconds, then goes
o
f f.
This operation is perfectly normal. Before
doing anything under the
b
onnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
s
ystem to avoid any risk of injury
r
esulting from automatic operation of
S
TART mode.
This system requires a 12 V battery with a
s
pecial specification and technology (reference
n
umbers available from CITROËN dealers).
Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN
i
ntroduces the risk of malfunction of the
s
ystem.
For charging, use a 12 V charger and do not r
everse the polarity.
Maintenance
The Stop & Start system makes use of a
dvanced technology. For any work on
t
he system go to a qualified workshop
w
ith the skills and equipment required,
w
hich a CITROËN dealer is able to
pro
vide.
