Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when
starting on a gradient, the time it takes to
move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
This system only operates when:
-
t
he vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
-
c
ertain conditions of slope are met,
-
w
ith the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist system cannot be
deactivated.
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle
stationar y, the vehicle is held for a
momentarily when you release the brake
pedal:
-
i
f you are in first gear or neutral with a
manual gearbox,
-
i
f you are in position E or M with an ETG
electronic gearbox.Operation
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged,
the vehicle is held momentarily when you
release the brake pedal.
Operating fault
If a fault in the system occurs, this warning
lamp comes on. Contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked.
Do not exit the vehicle while it is being
held in the hill start assist phase.
If you need to exit the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
manually.

Stop & Start (e-VTi 68 engine)
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
-
w
hen stationary, in neutral, and you
release the clutch pedal.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the button. For smoother operation, during
parking manoeuvres STOP mode is
not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
vehicle's systems, such as for example,
braking, power steering...
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked principally when:
- t he driver's door is open,
-
t
he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-
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,
vehicle stopped on a steep gradient, high
altitude...) 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.
Stop & Start time counters
A partial time counter counts the periods in
STOP mode during a journey.
It is displayed in the trip computer once the
Stop & Start acts.
Press one of the screen management buttons
to return to the previous display.
A global time counter counts the periods in
STOP mode since the last reset.
When it is displayed, press one of the screen
management buttons to reset the counter.
