Stop & Start (VTi 68 S&S engine)
Operation
Going into engine STOP
mode
This indicator lamp comes on in the instrument panel and the engine
g
oes into standby automatically:
-
w
hen
stationary, in neutral, and you
r
elease the clutch pedal.
Never
refuel with the engine in
S
TOP mode; you must switch off the
i
gnition with the button.
For
smoother operation, during p
arking manoeuvres STOP mode is n
ot available for a few seconds after
c
oming out of reverse gear.
The
Stop & Start does not affect the
v
ehicle's systems, such as for example,
b
raking, power steering...
The
Stop

system
r
educes

as
well
as
the
noise

when
s
tationary.
Stop & Start time counters
A partial time counter counts the periods in S TOP mode during a journey.
It
is displayed in the trip computer once the
S
top & Start is operating.
Press one of the " DISP" buttons to return to the
previous
d
isplay.
A
global time counter counts the periods in
S

Going into engine START
mode
This indicator lamp goes off and the engine s tarts a utomatically:
-
w

you fully
depress the clutch pedal.
START
mode is invoked automatically when:
-
y
ou
open the driver's door,
-
y

open the bonnet,
-
y
ou
unfasten the driver's seat belt,
-
s
ome
special conditions (battery charge,
e
ngine temperature, braking assistance,
d
escending a steep gradient, adjustment of
t

air conditioning...) where the engine is
n
eeded for control of a system.
Special cases: START invoked
automatically
In the event o f a f ault w ith t he s ystem, t
his warning lamp flashes in the

Operating fault
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified w orkshop.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available

- t he driver's door is open,
-
t
he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-
t
he engine is needed to maintain a
c
omfortable temperature in the passenger
c
ompartment,
-
d
emisting is active,
-
s
ome special conditions (battery charge,
e
ngine temperature, braking assistance,
v
ehicle stopped on a steep gradient, high
a

At any time, press this button to deactivate the system.
Manual deactivation /
reactivation
If the system has been deactivated in S TOP mode, the engine restarts immediately.
The
system is reactivated automatically at
e
very new engine start by the driver.
Press
this button again.
The
system is active again; this is confirmed by the
i
ndicator lamp going off in the instrument panel.
Deactivation
is confirmed by the
i
llumination of this indicator lamp in
t
he instrument panel.
Before
doing
anything
under
the
b
onnet,
deactivate
the
Stop

to
avoid
any
risk
of

mode.
Maintenance
The Stop & Start system requires a 12 V b
attery of a special specification and
t
echnology.
All
work on this type of battery must be
d
one only by a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified
w
orkshop.
For
more information on the 12 V
b
attery, refer to the corresponding

Lane departure warning system
System which detects the unintended crossing of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the ground, using a camera that recognises both solid and broken lines.
To
improve your safety, the camera analyses the image and then triggers a warning if the vehicle wanders over a lane marking (speed higher than
3
0 mph (50 km/h)).
This
system is particularly suitable for motor ways and dual carriageways.
The
lane departure warning system
c
annot in any circumstances replace
t
he need for vigilance on the part of the
d
river.
It
is necessary to observe driving
r
egulations and take a break every
two
hours.
Activation
F Press this button, located on the steering w
heel.
Detection
You are alerted by an audible signal and the display of a warning lamp in the instrument panel.
No
alert is given if the direction
i
ndicators are on and for around
20
seconds after they stop flashing.

Electronic stability control (ESC)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
These systems improve the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
a
nd contribute towards better control in
c
orners, in particular on poor or slippery road
su
rfaces.
The
ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
em
ergency
b
raking.
The
electronic brake force distribution system
m
anages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
In an emergency, this system enables you to reach the optimum braking pressure more
q
uickly and therefore reduce the stopping
di
stance.
It
is triggered according to the speed at which
t
he brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a
r
eduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
i
ncrease in the effectiveness of the braking.
Traction control (TRC)
This system optimises traction in order to limit wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving
w
heels and on the engine. It also improves
t
he directional stability of the vehicle on
a
cceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path followed by the vehicle and that required by the
d
river, this system monitors each wheel and
a
utomatically acts on the brake of one or more
w
heels and on the engine to return the vehicle
t
o the required path, within the limits of the laws
o
f physics.
