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.
Operation
- with a manual gearbox , at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), when you put the gear
lever into neutral, and you release the
clutch pedal.
-

w
ith a 5 or 6-speed electronic gearbox ,
when stationary or at speeds below 5 mph
(8 km/h) (depending on version), when you
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:
a

time counter calculates the sum
of the periods in ST
oP m

ode
during a journey. It rests itself
to zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the key.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
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
t h e key,
-

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 "ECO" warning lamp flashes for
a few seconds then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Stop & Start
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key. For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, ST
oP m
ode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
ST

warning lamps come on. It is then necessary
to switch off the ignition and start the engine
again using the key. This system requires a battery with a special
specification and technology (reference
numbers available from a CITR
oËn

dealer or a
qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by
CITRoËn introduces the risk of malfunction of
the system.
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the switch warning lamp going off,
accompanied by a message in the screen.

Checks

according to your version of instrument panel, the start of
saturation of the particle emissions filter is indicated by:
- fixed illumination of the particle emissions filter warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
or
-

t
emporary illumination of
the service warning lamp,
as s

oon as the traffic conditions permit, regenerate
the filter by driving at a speed of at least 40
mph
(60

km/h) until the warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, refer to the "Additive
level" section.
Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
However, check that the terminals are clean
and correctly tightened, particularly in summer
and winter.
The presence of this label, in particular with
the Stop & Start system, indicates the use of
a specific 12
V lead-acid battery with special
technology and specification. The involvement
of a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
is essential when replacing or disconnecting
the battery. When carrying out work on the battery, refer
to the "12 V battery" section for details of the
precautions to be taken before disconnecting
the battery and following its reconnection. Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the maintenance and warranty guide and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
On a new vehicle, the first operations of
regeneration of the particle emissions
filter may be accompanied by the smell
of "burning", which is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at
the exhaust on acceleration. This does
not affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or the environment.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
accompanied by an audible signal and a
message that there is a risk of blockage of
the particle emissions filter.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for details of the
replacement intervals for these
components.
de

pending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle
(e.g. city driving), replace them twice as
often if necessar y .
a c

logged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.
Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for details of the
replacement interval for this
component.

special technology and specification;
the involvement of a CITR

dealer
or a qualified workshop is essential
when replacing or disconnecting the
battery.
Failure to observe this recommendation
may cause premature wear of the
battery.
af

ter refitting the battery by a CITR
oËn


dealer or a qualified workshop,
the Stop

& Start system will only
be active after a continuous period
of immobilisation of the vehicle, a
period which depends on the climatic
conditions and the state of charge of
the battery (up to about 8

hours).
