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.

Going into engine START mode Special cases: START invoked automatically
The "ECO" warning lamp goes off and the engine starts automatically:
- with a manual gearbox , when you fully
depress the clutch pedal, - with an electronic gearbox : ● gear lever in position A or M , when you release the brake pedal, ● or gear lever in position N and the brake pedal released, when you place the gear lever in position A or M , ● or when you engage reverse gear. - with an automatic gearbox: ● gear lever in position D or M , when you release the brake pedal, ● or gear lever in position N and brake pedal released, when you place the gear lever in position D or M , ● or when you engage reverse gear.
For safety reasons or to ensure smooth operation, START mode is invoked automatically when: - you open the driver's door,
- you unfasten the driver's seat belt, - the speed of the vehicle exceeds 15 mph (25 km/h) with a manual gearbox (3 km/h (2 mph) with PureTech 130 petrol and BlueHDi Diesel 115 and 120 versions), 7 mph (11 km/h) with an electronic gearbox or 2 mph (3 km/h) with an automatic gearbox, - the electric parking brake is being applied, - 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 few seconds, then goes of f.
This operation is perfectly normal.
With a manual gearbox in STOP mode, if a gear is engaged without fully depressing the clutch pedal, a warning lamp comes on or an alert message is displayed asking you to depress the clutch pedal to restart the engine.

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.

Cruise control
1. Cruise control mode selection wheel. 2. Button for setting the current speed of the vehicle as the cruise setting or lowering the cruise setting. 3. Button for setting the current speed of the vehicle as the cruise setting or raising the cruise setting. 4. Cruise control pause / resume button. 5. Display memorised speed settings button.
Steering mounted controls
6. Cruise control pause / resume indication. 7. Cruise control mode selected indication. 8. Cruise speed setting. 9. Selecting a memorised cruise speed.
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.

The use of mats not approved by CITROËN may inter fere with the operation of the cruise control. To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals: - ensure that the mat is positioned
c o r r e c t l y, - never fit one mat on top of another.
Temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed
When required (overtaking manoeuvre...), it is possible to exceed the programmed speed by pressing the accelerator pedal. The cruise control is temporarily overridden and the programmed speed setting flashes.
To return to the programmed speed, simply release the accelerator pedal. Once the vehicle has returned to the programmed speed, the cruise control takes over again: the display of the programmed speed setting becomes steady again.
Only use the cruise control if the traffic conditions will allow you to drive for a certain time at a steady speed and at a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. Do not activate the cruise control in urban areas, in heavy traffic, on winding or steep roads, on slippery or flooded roads, or in conditions of poor visibility (heavy rain, fog, falling snow...). In some circumstances, it may not be possible to maintain or reach the programmed speed: towing, vehicle heavily loaded, steep climb.
When descending a steep hill, the cruise control system cannot prevent the vehicle from exceeding the
programmed speed.
You may have to brake to control the speed of your vehicle. In this case, the cruise control is automatically paused. To activate the system again, press button 4 .
Switching off
 Turn wheel 1 to the "0" position: the cruise control information disappears from the screen.
Operating fault
Flashing dashes indicate a fault with the cruise control system.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
