Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO" warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel and the engine goes into standby automatically:
- with a manual gearbox , at speeds below 12 mph (20 km/h), or vehicle stationary with PureTech 130 petrol and BlueHDi 115 and 120 Diesel versions, when you put the gear lever into neutral and release the clutch pedal, - with an electronic gearbox , at a speed below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press the brake pedal or place the gear lever in position N . - with an automatic gearbox, vehicle stationary, when you press the brake pedal or place the gear lever in position N .
If your vehicle is fitted with the system, a time counter calculates the sum of the periods in STOP
Special cases: STOP mode unavailable
STOP mode is not invoked when: - the vehicle is on a steep slope (up or down), - the driver's door is open, - the driver's seat belt is not fastened, - the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph (10 km/h) since the last engine start (using the key or the "START/STOP" button), - the electric parking brake is applied or being applied, - the engine is needed to maintain a comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment, - demisting is active, - some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance, ambient temperature...) where the engine is needed to assure control of a system.
In this case, the "ECO" warning lamp flashes for a few seconds, then goes of f. 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 mode does not affect the functionality of the vehicle, such as braking, power steering, for example. Never refuel with the engine in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key or the "START/STOP" button.
With an electronic gearbox, for your comfort during parking manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available for a few seconds after coming out of reverse g e a r.
mode during a journey. It resets itself to zero every time the ignition is switched on with the key or the "START/STOP" button.

Maintenance
In the event of a malfunction with the system, the "ECO OFF" switch warning lamp flashes, then comes on continuously. Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Operating fault
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.
Before doing anything under the bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of START mode.
The Stop & Start system makes use of advanced technology. All work on this type of battery must be done only by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the vehicle may stall. All of the instrument panel warning lamps come on. Depending on version, an alert message may also be displayed asking you to put the gear lever into position Nand put your foot on the brake pedal.
It is then necessary to switch off the ignition, then restart the engine using the key or the "START/STOP" button.
Reactivation
The system is reactivated automatically at every new start using the key or the "START/STOP" button.
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again. The system is active again; this is confirmed by the switch warning lamp going off and the display of a message.
Deactivation
At any time, press the "ECO OFF" switch to deactivate the system. This is confirmed by the switch warning lamp coming on accompanied by the display of a message.
If the system has been deactivated in STOP mode, the engine restarts immediately.

Displays in the instrument panel
System which automatically maintains the cruising speed of the vehicle at a setting programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.
The operation of the cruise control can be interrupted (pause): - by pressing control 4 or by pressing the brake or clutch pedal, - automatically, if operation of the dynamic stability control system is triggered.
The cruise control is switched onmanually. It requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) as well as: - with a manual gearbox, the engagement of fourth gear or higher, - with an electronic gearbox, the gear selector at position A , or second gear or higher in manual mode, - with an automatic gearbox, the gear selector at position D or second gear or higher in manual mode.
Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed setting.
The cruise control system is a driving aid that cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to observe speed limits, nor the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver. As a safety measure, you are advised to keep your feet near the pedals at all times.
