Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...).
T he engine restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Operation
Going into engine STOP
mode
The "ECO" warning lamp comes on in the i
nstrument panel and the engine goes into
s
tandby
a
utomatically:
-
w
ith a manual gearbox, at speeds below
1
2 mph (20 km/h), or vehicle stationary
(
with e-THP 130 and 165 petrol versions
a
nd BlueHDi 100, 115 and 120 versions),
w
hen you place the gear lever in neutral,
a
nd you release the clutch pedal,
-
w
ith an electronic gearbox, at speeds
b
elow 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press the
b
rake pedal or place the gear selector lever
i
n position N ,
-
w
ith an automatic gearbox, with the
vehicle stationary, when you press the
brake
pedal or place the gear selector lever
i
n position N . Never
refuel with the engine in STOP
m
ode; you must switch off the ignition
w
ith the START/STOP 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
f
unctionality of the vehicle, such as for
example,
braking, power steering...
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:
- t he driver's door is open,
-
t

pro
vide.
Before
doing anything under the
b
onnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
s
ystem to avoid any risk of injury

Maintenance
This system requires a 12 V battery with a special 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.
