Maintenance
Before working under the bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start system
to
avoid any risk of injury resulting
from
automatic operation of START
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.
All
work
on this type of battery must
be done only by a CITR
o Ë n dealer or
a
qualified workshop.

HILL START ASSIST
This system (also called HHC - Hill Holder
Control), linked to the dynamic
stability
control system, makes hill
starts easier and is activated in the
following
conditions:
-
the
vehicle must be stationary,
engine
running, foot on the brake,
-
the
gradient of the road must be
steeper than 5%,
-
uphill,
the gearbox must be in
neutral or in a gear other than
reverse,
-
downhill,
reverse gear must be
engaged.
The
Hill Start
Assist
system is a driving
aid.
It is not an automatic vehicle
parking
function or an automatic
parking
brake.
Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal pressed, from the time you release
the
brake pedal, without using the
parking
brake, you have approximately
2 seconds
to move off before the
vehicle
starts to roll back.
During
the moving off phase, the
function
is deactivated automatically,
gradually
releasing the braking
pressure.
During this phase, the
characteristic
noise of mechanical
release
of the brakes may be heard,
indicating
the imminent movement of
the
vehicle.
Operating fault
Hill start assist is deactivated in the
following situations:
-
when the clutch pedal is released,
-
when
the parking brake is applied,
-
when the engine is switched of
f,
-
when
the engine stalls.
If
a malfunction of the
system
occurs, this
warning
lamp comes on
accompanied
by an audible
signal
and confirmed by
a
message in the screen. Have the
system
checked by at a CITROËN
dealer
or a qualified workshop.

A FEW DRIVING
RECOMMENDA
TIONS
observe the driving regulations at all
times and remain vigilant whatever the
traffic
conditions.
Pay
close attention to the traffic and
keep
your hands on the wheel so that
you
are ready to react at any time to
any
eventuality.
On
a long journey, a break every
two hours
is strongly recommended.
In
difficult weather, drive smoothly,
anticipate
the need to brake and
increase
the distance from other
vehicles.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving
on flooded roads, as this could cause
serious
damage to the engine or
gearbox, as well as to the electrical
systems
of your vehicle. If you are obliged to drive through
water:
-
check
that the depth of water does
not
exceed 15 cm, taking account
of
waves that might be generated
by other users,
-
deactivate
the Stop & Start system,
-
drive as slowly as possible without
stallin
g. In all cases, do not exceed 6
mph (10 km/h),
- do not stop and do not switch of f
the
engine.
On
leaving the flooded road, as soon
as
circumstances allow, make several
light
brake applications to dry the brake
discs
and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle,
contact a CITR
o Ë n dealer or a
qualified
workshop.Never
drive with the parking brake
applied
- Risk of overheating and
damage
to the braking system!
Do not park or run the engine when
stationary
in areas where inflammable
substances
and materials (dry grass,
dead
leaves...) might come into contact
with
the hot exhaust system - Risk of
fire!
n
ever leave a vehicle
unsupervised with the engine
running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running,
apply
the parking brake and put the gearbox into neutral or position
N or P,
depending
on the type of gearbox.
