DRIVING SAFELY
Stop & Start
- with a manual gearbox;
with the vehicle
stationary, put the gear lever into neutral,
then release the clutch pedal,
- with an electronic gearbox;
with the
vehicle stationary, maintain pressure on
the brake pedal or put the gear lever in
position N
.
Going into engine STOP mode
The "S"
warning lamp comes on in the instrument
panel and the engine goes into standby:
In certain circumstances, STOP mode may
not be available; a message appears in the
instrument panel screen, accompanied by the
"S"
warning lamp, which fl ashes for a few
seconds then goes off.
Automatic stopping of the engine is only
possible after a speed of about 6 mph
(10 km/h) has been exceeded, to avoid
repeated stopping of the engine when
driving slowly.
Going into engine START mode
The "S"
warning lamp goes off and
the engine restarts:
- with a manual gearbox ;
depress the
clutch pedal,
- with an electronic gearbox;
●
gear lever in position A
or M
, release
the brake pedal,
●
or gear lever in position N
and the brake
pedal released, move the gear lever to
position A
or M
,
●
or engage reverse.
In certain circumstances, START mode may be
invoked automatically; a message appears in
the instrument panel screen, accompanied by
the "S"
warning lamp, which fl ashes for a few
seconds then goes off. You can deactivate the system at any time by
pressing the "S - OFF"
button; the warning
lamp in the button comes on, accompanied by
a message in the instrument panel screen.
The system is automatically reactivated every
time the engine is started with the key.
Deactivation / Reactivation
Before refuelling, before doing anything
under the bonnet or before leaving the
vehicle, you must switch off the ignition
with the key.

Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the
bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof
bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refi t your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in
the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
- before a long journey,
- at each change of season,
- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...)
and observe the schedule of operations recommended by the
manufacturer.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid any overfl ow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the fi rst 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to
a consistent average.

Instruments and controls
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel level is tested each time the key is
turned to the "ignition on" position.
The gauge is positioned on:
- f
(full):
the capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 45 litres
.
- e
(empty):
the reserve is now being
used, the warning lamp comes on
continuously.
The reserve when the warning first comes
on is approximately 6 litres.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE
The needle is positioned between
c
(cold)
and
h
(hot):
normal operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic
conditions, the needle may move close to
the red graduations.
- wait approximately 15 minutes to allow
the engine to cool down in order to check
the level and top it up if necessary. The
cooling system is pressurised. In order to
avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the
cap by two turns to allow the pressure to
drop.
When the pressure has dropped, check the
level and remove the cap to top up.
If the needle remains in the red zone,
contact a CITROËN or a qualified workshop. EMISSION CONTROL
EOBD (European On Board Diagnosis) is a
diagnostics system which meets the exhaust
emissions standards for:
- CO (carbon monoxide),
- HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
- NOx (nitrous oxides) or particles detected
by oxygen sensors placed upstream and
downstream of the catalytic converters.
Refer to the "Levels" section of
chapter 7. Refer to the "Levels" section of
chapter 7.
The driver is warned of any
fault with this emission control
system by flashing of this specific
warning lamp in the instrument
panel.
What you should do if the needle
enters the red zone, or if the warning
lamp comes on:
- stop immediately, switch off the ignition.
The cooling fan may continue to operate
for a certain time up to approximately
10 minutes.

Gearbox and steering wheel
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR *
System which reduces fuel consumption
by advising the driver to change gear on
vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox.
Operation
The system intervenes only when driving
economically.
The gear change recommendations must
not be considered compulsory, as the
configuration of the road, the volume 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 system cannot be deactivated.
Example:
- You are in third gear.
- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
- The system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear, if appropriate.
The information appears in the form of the
word SHIFT
in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by an up arrow for changing
up or a down arrow for changing down
In the case of driving which
makes particular demands on the
performance of the engine (firm pressure
on the accelerator pedal, for example,
when overtaking...), the system will not
recommend a gear change.
