63Deactivation
To give precedence to the control
of the temperature in the passenger
compartment, the Stop & Start
system should be deactivated to
allow continuous operation of the air
conditioning.The system retains the same state
(active or inactive) after switching of
and restarting the engine with the key.
a
t any time, press the "S - OFF" switch to
deactivate the system.
This is confirmed by the switch warning lamp
coming on accompanied by a message in
the instrument panel screen.
If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately.
Operating fault Maintenance
In the event of a fault with the
system, the Stop & Start system
is deactivated and this warning
lamp comes on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by a
message in the instrument panel
screen
Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
In the event of an operating fault with STOP
mode, it is possible to restart the engine by
depressing the clutch pedal fully and putting
the gear lever into neutral. Before working under the bonnet, you
must switch off the ignition with the
key to avoid any risk of injury resulting from
automatic operation of ST
a
RT mode.
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.
The Stop & Start system makes use
of advanced technology. Specialist
knowledge is needed for any work on the
system, which can only be assured by
CITR
o Ë n dealers.
Reactivation
Press the "S - OFF" switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the switch warning lamp going off and a
message in the instrument panel screen.

DEMISTING AND DEFROSTING
Windscreen
The vents located at the base of the
windscreen and the side vents for the side
windows increase the effectiveness of the
demisting and defrosting. Do not obstruct
these eight vents.
The manual air conditioning includes a
pollen filter and air recirculation.
The pollen filter permits continuous and
effective filtering of dust.
a
ir recirculation (which can be operated by
the driver or the passenger) isolates the
passenger compartment from the exterior
atmosphere. However, this position should
only be used temporarily, you should
normally drive with the control in the exterior
air intake position. Manual mode
Turn the control to this air
distribution setting.
For faster and more effective
demisting and defrosting of the
windscreen:-
increase the air flow setting,
Return to the exterior air intake
position as soon as possible to
allow renewal of the air in the
passenger compartment. Rear screen and mirrors defrosting
This function only operates when
the engine is running. Pressing
this button activates the rapid
demisting/defrosting of the rear
screen and mirrors. This function switches
off automatically to prevent an excessive
consumption of energy. It switches off when
the engine is switched off. Pressing this
button switches the function off.

move the exterior air intake
control temporarily to air
recirculation.

Emergency braking assistance*
System which, in an emergency, enables
you to reach the optimum braking pressure
more quickly, thus reducing the stopping
distance. The emergency braking assistance
is an integral part of the DSC system.
Activation
It is brought into play by the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency.
When braking in an emergency, press firmly
without releasing the pressure.
Good practice
This system cannot be deactivated by the
driver.
* Depending on country of sale.
TRAJECTORY CONTROL SYSTEMS
Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
The dynamic stability control system acts on
the brake of one or more wheels and on the
engine to keep the vehicle on the trajectory
required by the driver, within the limits of the
laws of physics.
Activation
This system is activated automatically each
time the vehicle is started and cannot be
deactivated.
It comes into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem.
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by a message in the
instrument panel screen, indicates
a fault with the system, which is
deactivated automatically.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and engine
control (MSR)
Anti-slip regulation (also known as traction
control) optimises traction, avoiding wheel
spin by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and the engine.
Engine control is an integral part of the ASR
system and intervenes when a sudden gear
change is made or of one of the driving
wheels looses grip, by reducing engine
torque to avoid loss of stability of the
vehicle.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
In the event of a problem od adhesion or
trajectory, these systems come into play.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow,
on soft ground...), it may be advisable to
deactivate the
a
SR system, so that the
wheels can spin freely and regain grip.
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument
panel.

FRONT SEAT BELTS
The front seats are fitted with pre-tensioners
and force limiters.
Fastening
Pull the strap, then insert the tongue into the
buckle.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap.
The lap belt must be positioned as low as
possible on the pelvis. The chest belt must
pass over the hollow of the shoulder.
Inertia reel seat belts
These are fitted with a device which locks
automatically in the event of a collision or
emergency braking.
Safety in the event of a front impact has
been improved by the introduction of
pretensioning and force limiting seat belts.
Depending on the seriousness of the
impact, the pretensioning system instantly
tightens the seat belt against the body of the
occupant.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt against the body of the occupant in
the event of an accident.
Driver's seat belt not fastened warning
lamp
When the vehicle is started, this
warning lamp comes on if the
driver has not fastened their seat
belt.
REAR SEAT BELTS (COMBI)
The 3-seat bench is fitted with three-point
inertia reel seat belts with force limiter.
The centre seat has a seat belt guide and
inertia reel, integrated with the seat back.
When a seat belt is not in use, you can
store its buckle in the housing provided
in the bench seat cushion.
If the driver's seat belt is unfastened,
the ST
a
RT mode of Stop & Start will
not be invoked. The engine can only be
restarted using the ignition key.

TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, ETC...
Driving advice
as the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on the
engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the
engine speed and reduce your speed. In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in
neutral.
Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.
