programmes
SPORT programme "S"
These two special programmes supplement
the automatic operation in very particular
conditions of use.
F
W
ith the gear lever in position D and the
engine running, press button A .
The gearbox automatically favours a dynamic
driving style.
SNOW programme " T"
F With the gear lever in position D and the
engine running, press button B .
The gearbox adapts to driving on slippery
roads.
This programme makes moving off easier and
improves traction in conditions of poor grip.
T appears in the instrument panel.
S appears in the instrument panel.
Return to automatic operation
F At any time, press the button selected again to exit from the programme engaged
and return to auto-adaptive mode. A strong snatch may be felt when
selecting
R for reverse gear.
In the event of a fault, the gearbox is
blocked in one gear; do not exceed a
speed of 62 mph (100 km/h).
Do not turn off the engine while the gear
selector is in position D or R .
Never press the accelerator and brake
pedals simultaneously. Braking and
acceleration should be done with the
right foot only. Pressing both pedals
simultaneously may damage the
gearbox.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the ambient temperature is
below
-23°C, the engine should be left
running at idle for four minutes, in order
to ensure the correct operation and
durability of the engine and gearbox.

System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up.
The system intervenes only when driving
economically.
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one or more gears. You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory. In fact, the
configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors when
choosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.Example:
-

Y
ou are in third gear.
-

Y
ou press the accelerator pedal
moderately. The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow accompanied by
the suggested gear.
Gear efficiency indicator*
In the case of driving which makes
particular demands on the per formance
of the engine (firm pressure on the
accelerator pedal, for example, when
overtaking...), the system will not
recommend a gear change.
The system never suggests:
-

e
ngaging first gear,
-
enga

ging reverse gear,
-

e
ngaging a lower gear.
Operation
* Depending on engine. -
T
he system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear, if appropriate.
With an electronic or automatic
gearbox, the system is only active in
manual mode.

Stop & Start
Operation
- with an electronic gearbox, at speeds
below 4 mph (6 km/h), press the brake
pedal or put the gear lever in position N .
Going into engine STOP
mode
The "ECO" warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby:
If your vehicle is fitted with the
system, a time counter calculates
the sum of the periods in STOP
mode during a journey. It rests itself
to zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the key.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
In this case, the "ECO" warning
lamp flashes for a few seconds then
goes
off.
This operation is perfectly normal. STOP mode is not invoked when:
-

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 using
the key,
-

t

he electric parking brake is applied or
being applied,
-

t

he engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
-

d

emisting is active,
-

s

ome special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.
The Stop & Start

system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...).
The

engine restarts 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 & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key. For your comfort, during parking
maoeuvres, 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...

123
Reactivation
In the event of a fault with the system,
the "ECO OFF" switch warning lamp flashes
then comes on continuously.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall: all the instrument panel
warning lamps come on. It is then necessary
to switch off the ignition and start the engine
again using the key.
Operating fault Maintenance
This system requires a 12 V battery with a
special specification and technology (reference
numbers available from CITROËN dealers).
Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN
introduces the risk of malfunction of the
system.
To charge the battery, use a 12 V charger and
observe the polarity.Before doing anything under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
system to avoid any risk of injury
resulting from automatic operation of
START mode.
The Stop & Start system makes use of
advanced technology. For any work on
the system go to a qualified workshop
with the skills and equipment required,
which a CITROËN dealer is able to
provide.
The system is reactivated automatically
at every new start using the key.
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the switch warning lamp going off and a
message in the screen.

Operating fault
If there is a fault, a message is displayed

qualified workshop.
Overriding the programmed
speed
In the event of a steep descent or
under excessive acceleration, the
speed limiter (which does not act
on the brakes) may not be able to
prevent the vehicle from exceeding the
programmed speed.
Use of a floor mat other than that
recommended by CITROËN may affect
the normal operation of the accelerator
pedal and hamper the operation of the
speed limiter.
Floor mats approved by CITROËN
are fitted with a 3rd fixing located in
the pedal area to avoid any risk of
inter ference with the pedals.
The speed will also flash if the speed limiter is
not able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding
the programmed speed (e.g. on a steep
descent or under excessive acceleration).
To reactivate the speed limiter, release the
accelerator to slow to a speed lower than the
programmed speed.
