Starting using
the electronic key
With the first press on the " S TA R T/
STOP " button, this indicator lamp
flashes slowly in the instrument panel. Depending on the ambient temperature,
each attempt at starting can take up to
around 30 seconds. During this period,
do not press the "
START/STOP" button
again, or release the clutch pedal or
brake pedal (depending on the type of
gearbox).
After this period, if the engine has not
started, press the " START/STOP"
button again for another attempt at
starting. If one of the starting conditions is
not met, the "Keyless Entry and
Starting" system indicator lamp flashes
in the instrument panel. In some
circumstances, it is necessary to
turn the steering wheel slightly while
pressing the "
START/STOP " button to
assist unlocking of the steering.
For vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox:
F
W
ith the electronic key inside the vehicle,
put the gear lever into neutral and fully
depress the clutch pedal. The presence of the electronic key in
the vehicle is essential for switching
on the ignition and starting only. Once
the engine has started,
make sure that
the electronic key remains with the
vehicle until the end of the journey:
other wise you would not be able to lock
the
vehicle.

This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel. For vehicles fitted with an ETG gearbox
:

ith the electronic key inside the vehicle,
put the gear selector at N and press the
brake pedal.

Stop & Start (VTi 68 S&S engine)
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
-
w
hen stationary, in neutral, and you
release the clutch pedal.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the button. For smoother operation, during
parking manoeuvres STOP mode is
not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
vehicle's systems, such as for example,
braking, power steering...
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked principally when:
- t he driver's door is open,
-
t
he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-
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,
vehicle stopped on a steep gradient, high
altitude...) where the engine is needed to
assure control of a system.
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.
Stop & Start time counters
A partial time counter counts the periods in
STOP mode during a journey.
It is displayed in the trip computer once the
Stop & Start acts.
Press one of the screen management buttons
to return to the previous display.
A global time counter counts the periods in
STOP mode since the last reset.
When it is displayed, press one of the screen
management buttons to reset the counter.

Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
indicates that there is a fault with the
electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD), which could cause loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.
Operation
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
indicates that there is a fault with
the ABS system, which could cause
loss of control of the vehicle when
braking.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
make sure that these are approved for
your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.
In emergency braking, press
very firmly without releasing
the
pressure.
Yo u must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
and traction control (TRC)
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
As soon as they detect a problem of grip or
trajectory, these systems act on the operation if
the engine and brakes.
Activation of the DSC system is
signalled by the flashing of this
indicator lamp in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal.
Activation of the TRC system is
signalled by the flashing of this
indicator lamp in the instrument panel.
Drive carefully at reduced speed, and contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Unwanted triggering of the system
It is possible for the system to detect a risk of
imminent collision and start working, in the
following conditions in particular:
-
d
etection of an object located close to the
outer edge of a bend (safety barrier, lamp
post or road sign),
-
d
etection of an object located at the top or
bottom of a steep slope,
-
d
etection of reflective objects (central
reservation...) in the road,
-
d
etection of the upper bar of a bridge or a
traffic light gantry,
-
d
etection of a vehicle on a bend travelling
in the other direction,
-
d
etection of a vehicle traveling in the other
direction, at a crossroads, when your
vehicle is turning left or right,
-
i
f the vehicle ahead of you sends up water
or snow,
-
i
f your vehicle stops very close to a wall or
other vehicles,
-
w
hen your vehicle closes rapidly on the
vehicle ahead,
-
i
f the vehicle is raised or lowered,
-
i
f the vehicle passes through a plastic curtain,
-
i
f driving through mist or smoke,
-
i
f the sensor is misaligned (following
replacement after a collision).
Never leave accumulations of snow or
any object projecting above the bonnet
or in front of the roof: this might fall into
the field of vision of the sensor and
generate a detection.
Operating limits
The system only detects
vehicles (cars, lorries)
that are stationary or moving in the same
direction as your vehicle. In difficult weather conditions (very
heavy rain, snow, fog, hail...), braking
distances increase, which can reduce
the ability of the system to avoid a
collision.
The driver must therefore remain
particularly vigilant.
The system is not triggered or is interrupted if
the driver:
-
a
ccelerates strongly (even if the speed
limiter is on),
-
o
r turns the steering wheel suddenly
(avoiding manoeuvre).
Detection capability is less effective if:
-
y
ou are driving on roads with pronounced
bends and/or on roads in poor condition,
-
y
our vehicle is excessively loaded, as
this changes the horizontal attitude of the
vehicle. It does not detect small vehicles
(bicycles, motorcycles), pedestrians or
animals, nor non-reflective stationary
objects.
