60HILL START ASSIST
An integral part of the DSC system, it
facilitates starting on a gradient by keeping
your vehicle immobilised temporarily
(approximately 2 seconds), the time it takes
to move your foot from the brake pedal to
the accelerator pedal.
This function is only active when:
-

the vehicle is completely stationary
, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
-

the engine is running,
-


the gradient is steeper than 5 %. Operation
On a slope, with engine running and the


vehicle stationary, the vehicle is held
for a brief moment when you release the
brake pedal:
-

provided you are in first gear or neutral

with a manual gearbox,
-

provided you are in position
A or M with
an electronic gearbox,
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary, the engine running and
reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held
for a brief moment when you release the
brake pedal.
a

fter 2 seconds, if the vehicle has not
moved off, the system is deactivated
automatically by gradually reducing the
brake pressure. During this phase, the
characteristic sound of brakes being
released will be heard, indicating the
imminent movement of the vehicle.
d
o not leave the vehicle while it is
being held in the hill start assist phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle while the
engine is running, apply the parking brake
manually. Then ensure that the parking
brake warning lamp is on (not flashing) in
the instrument panel.
Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the system,
these warning lamps come on in
the instrument panel. Contact a
CITR
o Ë n dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked.

stationary, put the gear lever into neutral,
then release the clutch pedal,
-

with an electronic gearbox
, with the
vehicle stationary, hold the brake pedal
down. Special cases: STOP mode unavailable
The STOP mode is not invoked when:
-

the driver's door is open,
-

the driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-

reverse gear is engaged,
-

some special conditions (battery

charge, engine temperature, particle
filter regeneration, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a system.
In this case, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by the "S" warning
lamp, which flashes for a few
seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
STOP & S TART
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - ST OP 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.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption, exhaust
emissions and the noise level when
stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "S" warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby: Automatic stopping of the engine is
only possible after the vehicle has
exceed a speed of about 6 mph (10 km/h),

Starting and stopping

62Special cases: START invoked
automatically
The START mode is invoked automatically
when:
-
the vehicle's is free wheeling on a slope,
-


the engine has been stopped for around

3 minutes with Stop & Start,
-

some special conditions (battery charge,

engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a system. Good practice
With a manual gearbox in STOP mode, if a
gear is engaged without fully depressing the
clutch pedal, restarting may not take place.
A warning lamp or message is displayed
in the instrument panel asking you to fully
depress the clutch pedal to allow restarting.
With the engine stopped in STOP mode,
if the driver unfasten's their seat belt and
opens a front door, the engine can only
be restarted using the ignition key. This is
indicated by an audible signal, accompanied
by flashing of the service warning lamp and
a message in the instrument panel screen.
If following an automatic restart in START
mode, the driver takes no action on the
the vehicle during the next
3 minutes, the
system stops the engine definitively. The
engine can then only be restarted using the
key.
Going into engine START mode
The "S" warning lamp goes off and
the engine starts:
-

with a manual gearbox

, depress the
clutch pedal,
-

with an electronic gearbox

:

brake pedal,
●

or engage rever

se gear. In this case, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by the "S" warning
lamp, which flashes for a few
seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
In STOP mode, moving the gear lever
on an electronic gearbox starts the
engine, in anticipation of moving off.
If the engine stops automatically when
the vehicle is on a slope, as hill start
is only active with the engine running, it is
necessary to restart the engine by engaging
a forward gear and releasing the brake
pedal.

63Deactivation
To give precedence to the control
of the temperature in the passenger

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

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

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

REAR PARKING SENSORS
The audible system consists of four
proximity sensors, fitted in the rear bumper.
It detects any obstacle which comes within
range: person, vehicle, tree, fence, behind
the vehicle during the manoeuvre.
However, it will not be able to detect
obstacles located immediately below the
bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks
cone or any other similar object may be
detected at the beginning of the manoeuvre
but may no longer be detected when the
vehicle moves close to it.
This system does not take the place of
vigilance on the part of the driver.Ending operation
Come out of reverse gear and into neutral.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp or the service
warning lamp comes on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by a message in the
screen, contact a CITRo Ë n dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Good practice
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow.
Operation
Engage reverse gear with the gear lever.
The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more frequent
as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
When the distance between the rear of
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately thirty centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous.
This function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed.
You are advised to obtain a towbar
recommended by CITR
o Ë n and have it
installed by a qualified workshop.

PARKING BRAKE
Applying
Pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise
your vehicle.
Check that the parking brake is applied
firmly before leaving the vehicle.

has not been released properly,
this is indicated by this warning
lamp which comes on on the
instrument panel.
When parking on a slope, direct your wheels towards
the pavement and pull the parking brake lever up.
There is no advantage in engaging a gear after
parking the vehicle, particularly if the vehicle is
loaded.
Pull on the parking brake lever, only with
the vehicle stationary.
In the exceptional case of use of the parking
brake when the vehicle is moving, apply the
brake by pulling gently to avoid locking the
rear wheels (risk of skidding).
HAZARD WARNING LAMPS

Pull the lever and press the button to lower
the parking brake lever. Press this button, the two direction
indicators flash.
They operate with the ignition off.
When the hazard warning lamps are
switched on, the change of direction
function, using the right-hand or left-hand
direction indicator, is deactivated.
