Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when
starting on a gradient, the time it takes to
move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
This function is only active when:
-
t
he vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
-

w
hen certain conditions of gradient are
met,
-

w
ith the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated.
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle
stationar y, the vehicle is held for a brief
moment when you release the brake pedal:
-

i
f you are in first gear or neutral with a
manual gearbox,
-

i
f you are in position D with the CVT
gearbox.Operation
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held for a brief moment when you
release the brake pedal.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held in the hill start assist phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle while
the engine is running, apply the parking
brake.
Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the system, this warning
lamp comes on, accompanied by a message
in the instrument panel screen. Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the system checked.
When the engine is not running,
including periods on standby with
the Stop & Start (AS&G) system, the
function is not operative.

The system is reactivated automatically
at every new start using the key or the
START/STOP button.
Reactivation
Press the "AS &G O FF " switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed by
the "AS &G O FF " warning lamp going off in the
instrument panel or instrument panel screen.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction with the system,
the "AS &G O FF " warning lamp flashes in the
instrument panel or instrument panel screen,
and the system no longer operates.
have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. This system requires a specific
battery with a special specification
and technology (reference numbers
available from a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN
introduces the risk of malfunction of the
system.
Maintenance
The "Auto Stop & Go" system makes
use of advanced technology. All work
on this type of battery must be done
only by a CITR
oËn

dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall. The following warning lamps
come on in the instrument panel or instrument
panel screen:
It is then necessary to switch off the ignition,
then restart the engine using the key or the
START/STOP button.

The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
Under-inflation detection
System which continuously and automatically checks the pressures of the four tyres after switching on the ignition.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of each tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop in pressure is detected in one or more tyres, compared to the reference pressure registered in the system. This
reference pressure must be reinitialised every time the tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.
The system operates on condition that sensor identifiers have first been memorised in the system by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
You can memorise two sets of tyres (for example: wheels with "standard" tyres and wheels with "winter" tyres).Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.This system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly
(including the spare wheel) and before
a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes
premature tyre wear, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high speed, long journey).
The tyre pressures for your vehicle can
be found on the tyre pressure label (see
the "Identification markings" section).
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after driving for less then
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed).
Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.

top as soon as it is safe to do so. 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 maintained until the
reference pressure is reinitialised after
the inflation, repair or replacement of
the tyres concerned. In the event of
the repair or replacement of tyres, the
sensor identifiers must be registered in
the system by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The spare wheel does not have
a sensor, so there is no need to
reinitialise the the system for running
with the spare wheel fitted.

I f you have a compressor (the one in the
temporary puncture repair kit for example),
check the four tyre pressures when cold.

f it is not possible to check the tyre
pressures at the time, drive carefully at
reduced speed.

F

I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (according to equipment).
Reinitialising the reference
pressure
Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures in the four tyres are
suitable for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and as specified on the tyre
pressure label.
The under-inflation detection system
cannot warn of an incorrect pressure at
the time of reinitialisation.
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment of tyre pressures and after
changing one or more wheels.

The reinitialisation instruction is entered in
the screen menu, with the ignition on and the
vehicle stationary.
F Press repeatedly on the INFO button to
select "REINITIALISE" (located in menu
2/3 or 3/3 depending on the instrument
panel) .
F

P
ress and hold the INFO button for at least
3 seconds to reinitialise the under-inflation
detection system.
Reinitialisation of the system is confirmed
by the flashing of the warning lamp in the
instrument panel. The under-inflation alert is only reliable
if the system has been reinitialised
with the four tyre pressures correctly
adjusted.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning lamp accompanied by
the display of a message indicates a fault with
the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.
This alert is also displayed if:
-

o
ne or more wheels is not fitted with a
sensor (spare wheel in use),
-

a w
ireless device operating on the same
frequency is close to the vehicle,
-

t
here are accumulations of snow or ice in
the wings or wheels,
-

t
he state of charge of the tyre pressure
monitoring system battery is too low,
-

t
he wheel sensor identifiers have not been
memorised in the system by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop. Any tyre repair or replacement on a
wheel fitted with this system must be
carried out by a CITR
oËn

dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If you fit the second set of tyres
memorised in the system, a fault will
be signalled until the second set is
selected in the configuration menu. Go to a CITR
oËn
dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked
or, following the repair of a puncture, to
have the original wheel, equipped with a
sensor, refitted.

Managing sets of tyres
If you have had a second set of tyres registered
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop,
every time you change the set of tyres (fitting
a set of winter tyres, for example), you must
select the set you have just fitted in the
configuration menu.After fitting the new set of tyres, you
should check and adjust the tyre
pressures to the values specified
on the tyre pressure label (see the
"Identification markings" section). Selection of the other set of tyres is is done via
the menu screen, with the ignition on and the
vehicle stationary.
F

P
ress repeatedly on the INFO button to
select the menu for managing sets of tyres
(located in menu 3/3) .
F Press and hold the INFO button for at least
3 seconds to change successively from
set of tyres 1 to set of tyres 2 or the other
way round. The system automatically reinitialises
the reference pressure based on the
pressure in the new set (the under-
inflation detection warning lamp flashes
during the operation).
