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

other...).
The
engine
restarts
a
utomatically - START
mode
-
as
soon
as
y

want
to
move
off.
The
restart
takes
place
i
nstantly,
quickly
and
silently.
Per fect
for

system
r
educes

as
well
as

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
TOP mode since the last reset.
When
it is displayed, press one of
t

Going into engine START
mode
This indicator lamp goes off and the engine s tarts a utomatically:
-
w
hen
you fully
depress the clutch pedal.
START
mode is invoked automatically when:
-
y
ou
open the driver's door,
-
y
ou
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
he
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

Operating fault
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified w orkshop.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked principally when:
- 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
ltitude...) where the engine is needed to
a
ssure control of a system.

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
&
Start
s
ystem
to
avoid
any
risk
of
injury
r
esulting
from
automatic
operation
of
S

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
s

The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to o
bserve speed limits, nor can it replace the
n
eed for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Speed limiter (PureTech 82 engine)
The speed limiter is switched on manually: t
his can be done whatever the speed of the
v
ehicle. However, if you are driving at less than
2
0 mph (30 km/h), the programmed speed will
b
e fixed at 20 mph (30 km/h).
The
speed limiter is paused by operation of the
control.
The
programmed speed can be exceeded
t
emporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly
b
eyond the point of resistance.
To
return to the programmed speed, simply
r
elease the accelerator pedal until the vehicle
r
eturns to the programmed speed limit.

Reversing camera
The reversing camera is activated automatically when reverse gear is engaged.
T he reversing camera cannot in any
c
ircumstances replace the need for the
v
igilance on the part of the driver.The
image is provided in the touch screen
o
nly, with an indication of the limit of the rear
b
umpers (red line) and the general direction of
t
he vehicle (blue lines).Clean
the reversing camera regularly
u
sing a soft, dry cloth.
The
field of vision covered by the camera is
l
imited: objects in the immediate proximity of
t
he bumper or located below it are not visible.
The
camera's wide-angle lens deforms the
i
mage presented in the screen: the distances
v
isible in the screen may be different from
t
he true distances. This deformation varies
a
ccording to the loading of the vehicle and the
s
lope of the road.
High pressure jet washing
When
washing your vehicle, do not
d
irect the lance within 30 cm of the
c
amera lens.
Never
reverse the vehicle looking only

It
is normal to be able to see part of the number
p
late at the bottom of the screen.

Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in the four t
yres, once the vehicle is moving.
It
compares the information given by the four
w
heel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed .
The
system triggers an alert as soon as it
d
etects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
o
r more tyres. The
under-inflation detection system
d
oes not replace the need for vigilance
o
n the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
c
heck the tyre pressures (including the
s
pare wheel) every month as well as
b
efore a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
r
oad holding, extends braking distances
a
nd causes premature tyre wear, p
articularly under arduous conditions (
high loading, high speed, long journey).
System
which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The inflation pressures defined for
y
our vehicle can be found on the tyre
p
ressure label.
For more information on the
i
dentification markings, refer to the c
orresponding s ection.
Tyre pressures should be checked
w
hen the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
s
topped for 1 hour or after a journey of
l
ess than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
s
peeds).
Other wise
(when hot), add 0.3 bar to
t
he pressures shown on the label.
Driving
with under-inflated tyres
i
ncreases fuel consumption.
