cause a malfunction.

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
to the reserve level, the system switches to
energy economy mode: the power supply is
cut off automatically to preserve the remaining
battery charge. Switching off the engine leads to a loss
of braking assistance.
Driving

In wintry conditions, the warning lamp
can stay on for a longer period. When
the engine is hot, the warning lamp
does not come on.
In certain cases, you may have to apply
more force to the steering (wheels on
full lock, for example). If the engine does not start straight
away, switch off the ignition. Wait a
few moments before operating the
starter motor again. If the engine does
not start after several attempts, do not
keep trying: you risk damaging the
starter motor or the engine. Contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.In temperate conditions, do not leave
the engine at idle to warm up but move
off straight away and drive at moderate
speed.
Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion
engines emit toxic exhaust gases,
such as carbon monoxide. Danger of
intoxication and death.
In very severe wintry conditions
(temperatures below -23°C), to ensure
the correct operation and durability of
the mechanical components of your
vehicle, engine and gearbox, it is
necessary to leave the engine running
for 4 minutes before moving off.

Anti-theft protection
Electronic engine immobiliser
In the event of a fault, you are
informed by illumination of this
warning lamp, an audible signal
and/or the display of a message,
depending on version.
Keep safely, away from your vehicle,
the label attached to the keys given to
you on acquisition of the vehicle.
In this case, your vehicle will not start; contact
a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible. The keys contain an electronic chip which has
a special code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised for engine
starting to be authorised.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a few minutes
after the ignition is switched off and prevents
starting of the engine by anyone who does not
have the key.
Driving

Stop & StartThe Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams,
o r 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.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
With an electronic gearbox, for your
comfort during parking manoeuvres,
STOP mode is not available for a few
seconds after coming out of reverse
g e a r.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key or the "START/STOP"
button.
The
"ECO" warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
-

w

ith a manual gearbox
, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), or vehicle stationary with
PureTech 130 petrol and BlueHDi 115 and
120 Diesel versions, when you put the gear
lever into neutral and release the clutch
pedal,
-

w

ith an electronic gearbox , at a speed
below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press
the brake pedal or place the gear lever in
position N .
-

w

ith an automatic gearbox, vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or place the gear lever in position N .If your vehicle is fitted with the
system, a time counter calculates
the sum of the periods in STOP
mode during a journey. It resets
itself to zero every time the
ignition is switched on with the
key or the "START/STOP" button.
STOP mode is not invoked when:
-
t
he vehicle is on a steep slope (up or
d ow n),
-
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 or the "START/STOP" button),
-

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.
Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
In this case, the "ECO" warning lamp
flashes for a few seconds, then goes
of f.
This operation is perfectly normal.
