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

In this case, the "ECO"
 

warning

This operation is perfectly normal. Before
  doing   anything   under   the  
b

onnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
system   to   avoid   any   risk   of   injury  
r

esulting   from   automatic   operation   of  
S

TART   mode.
This   system   requires   a   12   V   battery   with   a  
s

pecial   specification   and   technology   (reference  
n

umbers   available   from   CITROËN   dealers).
Fitting   a   battery   not   listed   by   CITROËN  
i

ntroduces   the   risk   of   malfunction   of   the  
s

ystem.
For   charging,   use   a   12   V   charger   and   do   not  r
everse   the   polarity.
Maintenance
The Stop & Start system makes use of a
dvanced   technology.   For   any   work   on  
t

he   system   go   to   a   qualified   workshop  
w

ith   the   skills   and   equipment   required,  
w

hich a CITR

dealer is able to
provide.

Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with parking, detecting a parking space then controlling the steering to park in the space.
I t   controls   the   steering   while   the   driver   manages   the   accelerator,   brakes,   gears   and   clutch   (manual   gearbox).   During   phases   of   entry   into   and   exit   from  
a

  parking   space,   the   system   provides   visual   and   audible   information   to   the   driver   in   order   to   make   the   manoeuvre   safe.   It   may   be   necessary   to   move  
f

or wards   and   backwards   more   than   once.
The
  Park   Assist   system   cannot   in   any  
c

ircumstances   replace   the   need   for  
v

igilance   on   the   part   of   the   driver.
The
  driver   must   remain   in   control   of  
t

heir   vehicle   ensuring   that   the   space  
r

emains   clear   during   the   manoeuvre.
In
  some   circumstances,   the   sensors  
m

ay   not   detect   small   obstacles   located  
i

n   their   blind   spots. Changing
  tyre   sizes   (out-size   tyres,  
w

inter   tyres,   ...)   can   inter fere   with  
t

he   correct   operation   of   the   parking  
a

ssistance   system.
During
  a   manoeuvre   the   steering   wheel  
t

urns   quickly:   do   not   hold   the   steering  
w

heel, do not place your hand between
the
  spokes   of   the   steering   wheel   and  
t

ake   care   with   loose   and   bulky   clothing,  
s

carves,   handbags...   There   is   a   risk   of  
in

jury. For
  entry   into   a   parking   space   (parallel  
p

arking)   the   system   does   not   detect  
s

paces   which   are   clearly   much   smaller  
o

r   larger   than   the   size   of   the   vehicle.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) incorporating the   following   systems:
-
 
a
nti-lock   braking   system   (ABS)   and   the

-

Electronic stability control (ESC)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and manoeuvrability   of   your   vehicle   when   braking  
a

nd   contributes   towards   improved   control   in  
c

orners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The
  ABS   prevents   wheel   lock   in   the   event   of  
em

ergency
 b
raking.
The
  electronic   brake   force   distribution   system  
m

anages   the   braking   pressure   wheel   by   wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to reach   the   optimum   braking   pressure   more  
q

uickly   and   therefore   reduce   the   stopping  
di

stance.
It
  is   triggered   according   to   the   speed   at   which  
t

he   brake   pedal   is   pressed.   This   is   felt   by   a  
r

eduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase
  in   the   effectiveness   of   the   braking.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Traction Control)   optimises   traction   in   order   to   limit  
w

heel   slip   by   acting   on   the   brakes   of   the   driving  
w

heels   and   on   the   engine.   It   also   improves  
t

he directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followed   by   the   vehicle   and   that   required   by  
t

he   driver,   the   DSC   monitors   each   wheel   and  
a

utomatically   acts   on   the   brake   of   one   or   more  
w

heels   and   on   the   engine   to   return   the   vehicle  
t

o   the   required   path,   within   the   limits   of   the   laws  
o

f   physics.
