The alert is maintained until
the tyre or tyres concerned is
reinflated, repaired or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver
type or a steel rim) does not have a
sensor.
Operating fault
Under-inflation alert
The loss of pressure detected
does not always lead to visible
deformation of the tyre. Do not rely
on just a visual check.
The alert is given by the fixed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
and depending on equipment, the
display of a message. The flashing and then
fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning
lamp accompanied by the
illumination of the "Service" warning
lamp, and depending on equipment,
the display of a message indicates a
fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre
pressures is not assured.
In the event of a problem on one of
the tyres, the symbol or the message
appears, according to equipment, to
identify it.
-

Reduce speed, avoid sudden
steering movements or harsh brake
applications.
-


Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
-


In the event of a puncture, use
the temporary puncture repair kit
or the spare wheel (according to
equipment),
or
-


if you have a compressor

, the one
in the temporary puncture repair
kit for example, check the four tyre
pressures when cold,
or
-


if it is not possible to check the
tyre pressures at the time, drive
carefully at reduced speed. This alert is also displayed when
one or more wheels is not fitted
with a sensor (for example, a
space-saver or steel spare wheel).
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop

to have the system checked
or, following the repair of a puncture, to

STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the
engine temporarily on standby - ST OP
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.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise
level when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO" warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and
the engine goes into standby:
- with a manual gearbox , at speeds
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you
put the gear lever into neutral and
release the clutch pedal,
-

with the 6-speed electronic gear
control gearbox

, at a speed below
5 mph (8 km/h), when you press
the brake pedal or put the gear
lever into position
n .If your vehicle is fitted with the system,
a time counter calculates the sum of
the periods in STOP mode during a
journey. It rests itself to zero every time
the ignition is switched on with the key.
With the automatic gearbox
system, for your comfort during
parking manoeuvres, STOP mode
is not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch off
the ignition with the key. Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
STOP mode is not invoked when:
-
the driver's door is open,
-

the driver's seat belt is not
fastened,
-

the vehicle has not exceeded

6 mph (10 km/h) since the last
engine start using the key,
-
the engine is needed to maintain
a comfortable temperature in the
passenger compartment,
-

demisting is on,
-

some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature,
braking assistance, ambient
temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a
system.
In this case, the
"ECO"
warning lamp flashes for a
few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.

HILL START ASSIST
Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal
pressed, from the time you release the
brake pedal you have approximately
2 seconds before the vehicle starts to
roll back and without using the parking
brake within which to move off.
During the moving off phase, the
function is deactivated automatically,
gradually releasing the braking
pressure. During this phase, the
characteristic noise of mechanical
release of the brakes may be heard,
indicating the imminent movement of
the vehicle.
Operating fault
Hill start assist is deactivated in the
following situations:
-

when the clutch pedal is released,
-


when the parking brake is applied,
-


when the engine is switched of
f,
-

when the engine stalls. If a malfunction of the system
occurs, this warning lamp
comes on accompanied
by an audible signal and
confirmed by a message in
the screen. Have the system checked
by at a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
This system (also called HHC - Hill
Holder Control), linked to the dynamic
stability control system, makes hill
starts easier and is activated in the
following conditions:
-


the vehicle must be stationary

,
engine running, foot on the brake,
-

the gradient of the road must be
steeper than 5%,
-


uphill, the gearbox must be in
neutral or in a gear other than
reverse,
-


downhill, reverse gear must be
engaged.

A FEW DRIVInG
RECOMME

n DATIO n S
Observe the driving regulations at all
times and remain vigilant whatever the
traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and
keep your hands on the wheel so that
you are ready to react at any time to
any eventuality.
On a long journey, a break every two
hours is strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly,
anticipate the need to brake and
increase the distance from other
vehicles.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving
on flooded roads, as this could cause
serious damage to the engine or
gearbox, as well as to the electrical
systems of your vehicle. If you are obliged to drive through
water:
-

check that the depth of water does
not exceed 15 cm, taking account
of waves that might be generated
by other users,
-

deactivate the Stop & Start system,
-

drive as slowly as possible without
stallin

g. In all cases, do not exceed
6 mph (10 km/h),
- do not stop and do not switch of f
the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon
as circumstances allow, make several
light brake applications to dry the brake
discs and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. Never drive with the parking brake
applied - Risk of overheating and
damage to the braking system!
Do not park or run the engine when
stationary in areas where inflammable
substances and materials (dry grass,
dead leaves...) might come into contact
with the hot exhaust system - Risk of
fire!
n
ever leave a vehicle
unsupervised with the engine
running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running,
apply the parking brake and put the
gearbox into neutral or position n or P,
depending on the type of gearbox.
Important!
