Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO" warning lamp comes on i
n the instrument panel and the engine g
oes into standby automatically:
-
w
ith a manual gearbox , when stationary,
in neutral, and you release the clutch
pedal.
-
w
ith an electronic gearbox , when
stationary
or at speeds below 5 mph
(
8 km/h) (depending on version), in neutral
(
control on N)
or when you press the brake
ped
al. Never
refuel with the engine in STOP
m
ode; you must switch off the ignition
w
ith the button.
For
your comfort, during parking
m
anoeuvres, STOP mode is not
a
vailable for a few seconds after
coming
out of reverse gear.
STOP
mode does not affect the the
v
ehicle's systems, such as for example,
b
raking, power steering...
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked principally when:
- t he vehicle is on a steep slope (rising or
f
alling),
-
t
he driver's door is open,
-
t
he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-
t
he vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(
10 km/h) since the last engine start by the
d
river,
-
t
he engine is needed to maintain a
c
omfortable temperature in the passenger
c
ompartment,
-
d
emisting is active,
-
s
ome special conditions (battery charge,
e
ngine temperature, braking assistance,
a
mbient temperature...) where the engine is
n
eeded to assure control of a system.
In this case, the "ECO"
warning
l
amp flashes for a few seconds then
g
oes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
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 counter
A cumulative time counter for periods i n STOP mode during a journey.
It
is
displayed in the trip computer (accessible
v
ia the " Driving assistance "
menu of the
t
ouch
screen tablet).
It resets to zero every time the ignition is switched on.

Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in the four t
yres, once the vehicle is moving.
It
compares the information given by the four
w
heel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed .
The
system triggers an alert as soon as it
d
etects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or
more tyres. The
under-inflation detection system
d
oes not replace the need for vigilance
o
n the part of the driver.
This
system does not avoid the need to
c
heck the tyre pressures (including the
s
pare wheel) every month as well as
b
efore a long journey.
Driving
with under-inflated tyres impairs
r
oad holding, extends braking distances
a
nd causes premature tyre wear,
par
ticularly under arduous condition
(high
loading, high speed, long journey).
System
which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure
label.
See
the "Identification markings"
s
ection.
Tyre
pressures should be checked
w
hen the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
s
topped for 1 hour or after a journey of
l
ess than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
s
peeds).
Other wise
(when hot), add 0.3 bar to
t
he pressures shown on the label.
Driving
with under-inflated tyres
i
ncreases fuel consumption.

adblue® additive and SCR system
f
or
BlueHDi Diesel engines
To assure respect for the environment and c
onformity with the new Euro 6 emissions
s
tandard, without adversely affecting the
p
er formance or fuel consumption of Diesel
e
ngines, CITROËN has taken the decision to
e
quip its vehicles with an effective system that
a
ssociates SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction)
w
ith a particle filter (FAP) for the treatment of
e
xhaust gases.
Presentation of the SCR system
Using an additive called AdBlue® containing urea, a
catalytic
converter
turns
up
to
85% of nitrous o
xides
(NOx)
into
nitrogen
and
water, which are
h
armless
to
health
and
the
environment.
on
ce the a
dbl
ue
® tank is empty, a s
ystem
required
by regulations
p
revents
starting
of the engine.
If the SCR is faulty, the level of
emissions
from
your vehicle will no
l
onger
meet
the
Euro 6 standard: you
v
ehicle
becomes
polluting.
In
the
event
of
a
confirmed fault
w
ith
the
SCR
system, you must go
t
o
a
CITROËN
dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop
as
soon as possible: after
a
running
distance of 650 miles
(
1 100
km),
a
system will be triggered
a
utomatically
to
prevent engine starting.
The
a
dblu
e® additive is held in a special
tank
located
under the boot at the rear of
t
he
vehicle.
It has a capacity of 17 litres: this
p
rovides
a
driving range of about 12 500 miles
(
20
000
km),
after which an alert is triggered
w
arning
you
when the reserve remaining is
e
nough
for
just 1 500 miles (2 400 km).
During
each
scheduled service of your vehicle
b
y
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop,
t
he
a
d
blu
e
® additive tank is refilled in order to a
llow
normal operation of the SCR system.
If
the
estimated mileage between two services
i
s
greater
than 12 500 miles (20 000 km), we
r
ecommend
that you go to a CITROËN dealer
o
r
a
qualified workshop to have the necessary
t
op-up
carried out.
