Electronic engine immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic chip which has
a secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
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.
In the event of a malfunction, you are informed
by a message in the instrument panel screen.
In this case, your vehicle does not start; contact
a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.

Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, put the selector
in position P or n to place the gearbox in
neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle, unless it is programmed
to automatic mode.
If the selector is not in position P ,
when the driver's door is opened or
approximately 45 seconds after the
ignition is switched off, there is an
audible signal and a message appears.
F
R
eturn the selector to position P ;
the audible signal stops and the
message disappears.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen to indicate a
gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel
a substantial knock when changing from P
to R and from
n to R. This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. You risk damaging the gearbox:
-
i
f you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,
-
i
f you force the selector from
position P to another position when
the battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffic jam...), position
the gear selector at
n and apply the
parking brake, unless it is programmed
in automatic mode.
Stop & Start
Operation
going into engine STOP mode
The "E cO" 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
the THP 210 petrol and BlueHDi 115 and
120 Diesel versions, when you place the
gear lever in neutral and you release the
clutch pedal,
-
w
ith an automatic gearbox , vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or put the gear selector in position
n
.I
f 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 START/STOP
button.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the START/STOP button.
For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
Stop & Start does not affect the
operation of vehicle systems such as
braking, power steering...
The Stop & Start
system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, ...). 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.

iving on flooded roads
Before driving through a flooded road,
it is strongly recommended that you
deactivate the Stop & Start system.
For more advice on driving, particularly
on flooded roads, refer to the
corresponding section.
In certain circumstances, such as the need
to maintain the temperature in the passenger
compartment, it may be useful to deactivate the
Stop & Start system.
The system can be deactivated at any time,
once the ignition is switched on.
If the engine is in STOP mode, it then restarts.
The Stop & Start system is reactivated
automatically every time the ignition is
switched
on.
Before doing anything under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
system to avoid the risk of injury
related to an automatic change to
START
mode.
Lane departure warning system
System which, using a camera which
recognises solid or broken lines, detects the
involuntary crossing of longitudinal traffic lane
markings on the ground.
To provide safe driving, the camera analyses
the image then, if the driver's attention drops,
triggers a warning if the vehicle drifts over
a lane marking (speed higher than 50 mph
(80 km/h)).
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.
Activation
F When switching on the ignition or with the engine running, press
this button to activate the system;
the indicator lamp comes on.
The lane departure warning system
cannot, in any circumstances replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
deactivation
You are warned by the vibration of the driver's
seat cushion:
-
o
n the right-hand side, if the marking on
the ground has been crossed on the right,
-
o
n the left-hand side, if the marking on the
ground has been crossed on the left.
No warning is transmitted while the direction
indicator is active and for approximately
20
seconds after the direction indicator is
switched off.
detection - Alert Operating fault
The detection may be impeded:
-
i f the markings on the ground are
worn,
-
i
f there is little contrast between the
markings on the ground and the
road sur face,
-
i
f the windscreen is dirty,
-
i
n certain severe weather conditions:
fog, heavy rain, snow, bright sunlight
or direct exposure to the sun (low
sun, leaving a tunnel,
...) and shade.
F
P
ress this button again, the
indicator lamp goes off. In the event of a fault, the indicator lamp in the
button flashes.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The status of the system remains in the
memory when the ignition is switched off. It is necessary to observe the driving
regulations and to take a break every
two hours.
