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.

Before doing anything under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
system to avoid any risk of injury
resulting from automatic operation of
START mode.
Maintenance
At any time, press this button to deactivate
the system.
Deactivation
If the system has been deactivated in STOP
mode, the engine restarts immediately. Press this button again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed by the
indicator lamp going off in the instrument panel.
The system is reactivated automatically at
every new engine start by the driver.
Reactivation
This is confirmed by the illumination
of this indicator lamp in the
instrument panel.
This system requires a 12 V battery with a
special specification and technology (reference
numbers available from CITROËN dealers).
Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN
introduces the risk of malfunction of the system.
For charging, use a 12 V charger and do not
reverse the polarity.
The Stop & Start system makes use of
advanced technology. For any work on
the system go to a qualified workshop
with the skills and equipment required,
which a CITROËN dealer is able to
provide.

Activation
Press the button, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel.
Operation
Three levels of operation are possible:
● A lert: if a risk of collision with a vehicle is
detected, a warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel together with an audible
signal. The thresholds for triggering the
alert can be set.
●

Br
aking assistance : increases the
braking started by the driver, only if a risk
of collision is detected.
●

A
utomatic braking : when your vehicle
is too close to or closing too quickly on
the vehicle ahead of you, the system
automatically operates the brakes to
reduce the speed of impact. A collision can
be avoided automatically if the difference
in speed between your vehicle and the one
ahead is not more than 18 mph (30 km/h).
You are then alerted by the display of
this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal. The automatic braking may bring the vehicle to
a complete stop if the situation requires it.
The brake lamps on your vehicle come on to
warn other road users. The triggering of the system may cause
the engine to stall, unless the driver
depresses the clutch pedal quickly
enough during automatic braking.
