You must press the brake pedal when
starting the engine.
Whatever the circumstances, you must
manually apply the parking brake when
parking, unless the parking brake is
programmed in automatic mode.
When immobilising the vehicle, with
the engine running, you must place the
gear lever in neutral N
.
Before carrying out any work in the
engine compartment, check that the
gear lever is in neutral N and that the
parking brake is applied.
Stopping the vehicle
With the ignition on, the flashing of
this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message
in the instrument panel screen,
indicates a malfunction of the
gearbox.
Before switching off the engine, you can
choose to:
-
m
ove to position N to engage neutral,
-
l
eave the gear engaged; in this case, it will
not be possible to move the vehicle.
In both cases, you should apply the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle, unless it is
programmed in automatic mode.

Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP
mode
The "E cO" warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
-
w
ith a manual gearbox, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h) or vehicle stationary with
the BlueHDi 115 and 120 versions, when
you place the gear lever in neutral and you
release the clutch pedal,
-
w
ith an electronic gearbox, at speeds
below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press
the brake pedal or put the gear lever in
position
N,
-
w
ith an automatic gearbox, vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or put 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
mode during a journey. It resets itself
to zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the START/STOP
button.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the START/STOP button. For your comfort, during parking
maoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering...
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.

Operating fault
Have it checked 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.
It is then necessary to switch off the ignition
and start the engine again using the "START/
STOP" button.Before doing any work under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
system to avoid the risk of injury related
to an automatic change to START
mode.
This system requires the use of a 12 V battery
of specific technology and characteristics
(reference numbers available from a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN would
introduces the risk of faults with the system.
Maintenance
The Stop & Start system makes use of
an advanced technology. All work on
this type of battery must only be carried
out by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.With the Touch screen tablet system
A fault with the system is signalled in the
"dr iving" menu page.
With the control switch on the
dashboard
In the event of a fault with the system, the
indicator lamp in the "EcO O
FF" control switch
flashes, then comes on continuously.
The symbol in the "E
cO
OFF!"
button changes to alert mode and
the indicator lamp flashes for a few
moments then remains on fixed. If you press this button to reactivate
the system, the indicator lamp flashes
again for a few moments then returns to
fixed illumination.

Lane departure warning system
System which, using a camera which
recognises solid or broken lines, detects the
involuntary crossing of longitudinal traffic lane
markings on the ground.
To provide safe driving, the camera analyses
the image then, if the driver's attention drops,
triggers a warning if the vehicle drifts over a
lane marking (speed higher than 50 mph
(80 km/h)).
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.
Activation
F Press this button, the indicator lamp comes on.
The lane departure warning system
cannot, in any circumstances replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
deactivation
You are warned by the vibration of the driver's
seat cushion:
-
o
n the right-hand side, if the marking on
the ground has been crossed on the right,
-
o
n the left-hand side, if the marking on the
ground has been crossed on the left.
No warning is transmitted while the direction
indicator is active and for approximately
20 seconds after the direction indicator is
switched
off.
detection - Alert Operating fault
The detection may be impeded:
-
i f the markings on the ground are
worn,
-
i
f there is little contrast between the
markings on the ground and the
road surface,
-
i
f the windscreen is dirty,
-
i
n certain severe weather
conditions: fog, heavy rain, snow,
bright sunlight or direct exposure
to the sun (low sun, leaving a
tunnel,
...) and shade.
F
P
ress this button again, the
indicator lamp goes off. In the event of a fault, the indicator lamp in the
button flashes.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The status of the system remains in the
memory when the ignition is switched off. It is necessary to observe the driving
regulations and to take a break every
two hours.

Blind spot sensors
This driving assistance system warns the driver
of the presence of another vehicle in the blind
spot angle of their vehicle (areas masked from
the driver's field of vision), as soon as this
presents a potential danger.This system is designed to improve safety when driving and is in no circumstances a
substitute for the use of the interior rear view mirror and door mirrors. It is the driver's
responsibility to constantly check the traffic, to assess the distances and relative speeds of
other vehicles and to predict their movements before deciding whether to change lane.
The blind spot sensor system can never replace the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
Operation
A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on
the side in question:
-
i
mmediately, when being overtaken,
-
a
fter a delay of about one second, when
overtaking a vehicle slowly. F
O
n switching on the ignition, or engine
running, press this button to activate the
function; the warning lamp comes on.
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.

F To deactivate the system, press this button again; the warning lamp goes off.
The state of the system remains in memory on
switching off the ignition. In the event of a fault, the warning lamp in the
button flashes then goes off.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather
conditions (rain, hail...).
In particular, driving on a wet sur face
or moving from a dry area to a wet area
can cause false alerts (for example, the
presence of a fog of water droplets in
the blind spot angle is interpreted as a
vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered by mud, ice
or snow.
Take care not to cover the warning zone
in the door mirrors or the detection
zones on the front and rear bumpers
with adhesive labels or other objects;
they may hamper the correct operation
of the system.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towbar approved by
CITROËN.
