Going into engine START mode
The "ECO"warning lamp goes off and the engine star ts:
-
with a manual gearbox
, when you
depress the clutch pedal,
-
with a 5-speed or 6-speed electronic gearbox:
●
gear lever in position Aor M
, when yourelease the brake pedal,
●
or gear lever in position Nand the brake pedal released, when you move the gear lever to position A
or M,
●
or when you engage reverse gear.
Special cases: START invoked automatically
If the system has been deactivatedin STOP mode, the engine restar ts immediately.
At any time, press the "ECO OFF"
switch todeactivate the system.
This is confirmed by the switch warning lamp coming on accompanied by a message in the screen.
Deactivation
For reasons of safety and for your comfort,START mode is invoked automatically when:
- you open the driver's door,
- you unfasten the driver's seat belt,
- the speed of the vehicle exceeds 7 mph
(11 k m/h) with the electronic gearbox system,
- some special conditions (battery charge,engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed for control of a system.
Th
e "ECO"
warning lamp flashes for
a few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is per fectly normal.
With a manual gearbox in STOP mode,if you engage a gear without fully depressing the clutch pedal, a message is displayed asking you to fully depressthe clutch pedal so that the engine can restart.

The system is reactivated automaticallyat every new star t using the key.
Reactivation
This system requires a battery with a specialspecification and technology (reference numbers available from a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN introduces the risk of malfunction of
the system. In the event of a fault with the system, the
"ECO OFF"
switch warning lamp flashes thencomes on continuously.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall. All of the instrument panel
warning lamps come on. It is then necessaryto switch off the ignition and star t the engine
again using the key.
Operating fault
Maintenance
Before doing anything under the bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of STA R T mode.
The Stop & Start system makes use of advanced technology. All work
on this type of battery must be doneby a CITROËN dealer or a qualifiedworkshop. Pr
ess 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.

Bonnet
Protects the components of the engine and provides access for checking levels.
Opening
)Open the front left door. )Pull the interior release lever A
, located at
the bottom of the door aper ture.
) Push the exterior safety catch Bto the leftand raise the bonnet. )
Unclip the bonnet stay Cfrom its housing, holding it by its foam protection. )
Fix the stay in the notch to hold the bonnetopen.
The location of the interior release lever prevents opening of the bonnet while the front left door is closed.
When the engine is hot, handle theexterior safety catch and the stay withcare.
Before doing anything under the bonnet, switch off the Stop & Startsystem to avoid any risk of injury resulting from an automatic change toSTA R T m o d e .
To avoid damaging the electric units,the use of a high pressure jet wash under the bonnet is strictly prohibited.

Checks
12 V batteryAir filter and passenger compartment filter
Oil filter
Par ticle emission filter (Diesel)
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 b
y a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
The battery does not require any maintenance.
However, check that the terminals are clean
and correctl
y tightened, particularly in summer and winter.
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for details of the replacement intervals for thesecomponents.
Re
place 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. The presence of this label, in particular with
the Stop & Star t s
ystem, 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 isessential when replacing or disconnecting the
battery. Th
e start of saturation of thepar ticle filter is indicated by the
temporary illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a message in the multi-
function screen.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at
least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lampgoes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates a
low additive level.
On a new vehicle, the first particlefilter regeneration operations may be accompanied by a "burning" smell, which is perfectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of thevehicle 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. When carr
ying out work on the battery, refer
to the "12 V battery" section for details of theprecautions to be taken before disconnecting
the battery and following its reconnection.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dustyatmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g. citydriving), replace them twice as often if necessar y.y
A clogged passenger compar tment filter may have
an adverse effect on the per formance of the air
conditioning system and generate undesirable odours.

Battery Procedure for charging your battery when it is flat or for starting the engine using another battery.
The battery is located under the bonnet.
To gain access to it:
)
open the bonnet using the interior release
lever, then the exterior safety catch, ) secure the bonnet stay, )
lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal.
Access to the battery
After refitting the battery by aCITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop, the Stop & Start systemwill 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).
The presence of this label, in particular with the Stop & Start system, indicatesthe use of a 12 V lead-acid battery withspecial technology and specification;the involvement of a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop is essential when replacing or disconnecting thebattery. Failure to observe this recommendation may cause premature wear of thebattery.

Practical information
Energy economy mode System which manages the period of use of cer tain functions to conser ve a sufficient level of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use functions such as the audio equipment, windscreen wipers, dipped beam headlamps, cour tesy lamps,etc. for a maximum combined period of thir ty minutes.
This period may be greatly reduced if the battery is not fully charged.
A flat battery prevents the engine from starting (refer to the correspondingparagraph).
If the telephone is being used at thesame time on the eMyWay audionavigation system, it will be interrupted after 10 minutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once this period has elapsed, a message appears on the multifunction screen indicating
that the vehicle has switched to economy mode and the active functions are put on standby.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically
the next time the vehicle is driven. ) In order to resume the use of thesefunctions immediately, star t the engine and
let it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be double
the period for which the engine is left running. However, this period will always be between five and thir ty minutes.

The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, if the GVW of the towing vehicle is reduced by an equal amount. Warning:
towing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
.../S: e-VTi model fitted with Stop & Start.
The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced by 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (10 0 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the per formance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient temperature is above 37 °C,
limit the towed load.
