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

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

-
 
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

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.

In this case the "ECO" warning   lamp  f

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
oËn
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.
This
  "parking   assistance"   system  
i

s   activated   automatically   during  
m

anoeuvres;   it   is   therefore   possible  
t

hat   a   symbol   comes   on   in   the   screen,  
a

ccompanied   by   an   audible   signal,  
w

ithout   affecting   the   manoeuvre.The
  selection   of   the   type   of   manoeuvre  
(

entering   or   exiting   a   parallel   parking  
s

pace)   prevents   a   change   to   STOP  
m

ode   of   Stop   &   Start.
In
  STOP   mode,   this   selection   restarts  
t

he
 eng
ine.
The
  driver   can   take   control   at   any   time   by   gripping   the   steering   wheel.

ontinuous   period   of   immobilisation   of   the
 v

ehicle, a period which depends on the
climatic
  conditions   and   the   state   of   charge
 o

f   the   battery   (up   to   about   8   hours).
Before doing any work
Immobilise the vehicle: apply the parking   brake,   put   the   gearbox   in  
n

eutral,   then   switch   off   the   ignition.
Check
  that   all   electrical   equipment   is
