Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP 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.
Operation
Going into engine STOP
mode
This indicator lamp comes on in the instrument
panel  and   the   engine   goes   into   standby  
au

tomatically:
-

w
ith a manual gearbox , at speeds below
12
  mph   (20   km/h),   or   vehicle   stationary  
(

with   PureTech   130,   THP   165   and  
B

lueHDi 100, 115 and 120 versions), when
you
  place   the   gear   lever   in   neutral,   and   you  
r

elease the clutch pedal,
-

w
ith an automatic gearbox , with the
vehicle stationary, when you press the
brake
  pedal   or   place   the   gear   selector   lever  
i

n position N . Never
  refuel   with   the   engine   in   STOP  
m

ode;   you   must   switch   off   the   ignition  
w

ith   the   START/STOP   button.
For
  your   comfort,   during   parking  
m

anoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming
  out   of   reverse   gear.
The Stop & Start system does not affect
the functionality of the vehicle, such as
for
  example,   braking,   power   steering...
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:
-  t he   driver's   door   is   open,
-
 
t
he   driver's   seat   belt   is   not   fastened,
-
 
t
he   vehicle   has   not   exceeded   6   mph  
(10
  km/h)   since   the   last   engine   start   using  
t

he   START/STOP   button,
-
 
t
he   electric   parking   brake   is   applied   or  
be

ing
 a
pplied,
-
 
t
he   engine   is   needed   to   maintain   a  
c

omfortable   temperature   in   the   passenger  
c

ompartment,
-
 
d
emisting   is   selected,
-
 
s
ome   special   conditions   (battery   charge,  
e

ngine   temperature,   braking   assistance,  
a

mbient   temperature...)   where   the   engine   is  
n

eeded   to   assure   control   of   a   system.
In this case, this indicator lamp flashes
for  a   few   seconds   then   goes   off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Per fect
 
for
 
urban
 
use,
 
the
 
Stop
 
&
 
Start
 
system
 
reduces
 
fuel
 
consumption
 
and
 
exhaust
 
emissions
 
as
 
well
  as   the   noise   level   when   stationary.
If your vehicle is fitted with the system, a time
counter calculates the sum of the periods in
STOP
 
mode
 
during
 
a
 
journey.
 
It
 
resets
 
itself
 
to
 
z

ero
 
every
 
time
 
the
 
ignition
 
is
 
switched
 
on
 
with
 t
he
 
START/STOP
 
button.

The dynamic cruise control is switched on
manually:   it   requires   that   the   speed   of   the  
v

ehicle be between 25 and 90 mph (40 and
150 km/h),
  as   well   as   the   engagement   of:
-
 
f
ourth   gear   or   higher   with   a   manual  
g

earbox,
-
 
s
econd   gear   or   higher   with   an   automatic  
g

earbox   in   manual   mode,
-
position D
  with   an   automatic   gearbox.
The
  system   remains   active   after   changing   gear  
o

n   vehicles   with   a   manual   gearbox   and  
Stop
  &   Start.
General points
The dynamic cruise control can be paused
manually o r a utomatically:
-
 
b
y   pressing   button   4,
-
 
b
y   pressing   the   brake   pedal,
-

i
n the event of operation of the ESC, for
safety reasons,
-

i
n the event of operation of the electric
parking
  brake   control   lever,
-

w
hen an inter-vehicle time threshold is
reached
  (calculated   according   to   the  
r

elative speeds of your vehicle and the
vehicle in front and the inter-vehicle time
setting
 c

hosen),
-

w
hen the distance between your vehicle
and the one in front becomes too small,
-

w
hen the speed of the vehicle in front is too
low,
-

w
hen the speed of your vehicle becomes
too
  low.
The dynamic cruise control cannot in any
circumstances replace the observation
of
 sp

eed

eed
 fo

r
 v

igilance
 o

n
 
the
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
driver.
It
 
is
 
recommended
 
that
 
you
 
always
 
keep
 y

our
 
feet
 
close
 
to
 
the
 
pedals.
If
 
the
 
speed
 
setting
 
selected
 
is
 
above
 
9

0
 
mph
 
(150
 
km/h),
 
the
 
system
 
switches
 
t

o standard cruise control operation,
with
 
no
 
adjustment
 
of
 
the
 
inter-vehicle
 
s

afe
 
distance
 
(a
 
message
 
appears
 
in
 
t

he
 
instrument
 
panel). The
  inter-vehicle   time   setting   is   kept   in  
m

emory   on   switching   off   the   ignition.
The dynamic cruise control operates by
day
 
and
 
at
 
night,
 
in
 
fog
 
or
 
in
 
moderate
 
r

ainfall.
The system does not act on the braking s ystem,   but   works   only   with   engine   braking.
The
  regulation   range   is   limited:   there   will
 n

o   longer   be   any   adjustment   of   speed   if   the
 d

ifference   between   the   programmed   speed
 s

etting   and   the   speed   of   the   vehicle   in   front
 b

ecomes   too   high   (18   mph   (30   km/h)).
If the difference between the
programmed  speed   setting   and   the  
s

peed of the vehicle in front is too
great,
  the   speed   cannot   be   adjusted:  
t

he cruise control is automatically
deactivated.

Switching on
The cruise control is switched on manually,
it requires a vehicle speed of between 18 and
112 mph
  (30   and   180   km/h).
An
  automatic   gearbox   must   be   in   position   D
or M . Other wise,
  the   last   setting   made   will   be   used  
w

hen   switching   on   the   system.
Switching   off   the   ignition   cancels   any  
p

rogrammed   speed   setting.
When   the   cruise   control   is   operating,  S
top & Start is automatically
deactivated.

Brake wear depends on the style of   driving,   particularly   in   the   case o

f vehicles used in town, over short
distances.
  It   may   be   necessary   to   have
 t

he   condition   of   the   brakes   checked,
 e

ven   between   vehicle   services.
Brake pads
For information on checking brake disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or
  a   qualified   workshop.
Brake disc wear
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality
 an
d
 sp
ecification.
In order to optimise the operation of
units as important as those in the
braking
  system,   CITROËN   selects   and  
o

ffers   very   specific   products.
After
  washing   the   vehicle,   dampness,  
o

r in wintry conditions, ice can form
on
  the   brake   discs   and   pads:   braking  
e

fficiency   may   be   reduced.   Make   light  
b

rake   applications   to   dry   and   defrost  
t

he   brakes.
Electric parking brake
For more information, refer to the " Electric
parking brake - Operating faults "
  section.
This system does not require any
routine
  servicing.   However,   in   the  
e

vent of a problem, have the system
checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w
orkshop.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any m
aintenance   (no   oil   change).
Refer
  to   the   manufacturer's   service  
s

chedule   for   the   checking   interval   for  
t

his
 c
omponent.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance   (no   oil   change).
Refer
  to   the   manufacturer's   service  
s

chedule for details of the level
checking
  interval   for   this   component.
To
  avoid   damaging   the   electrical   units,  
n

ever use   a   high   pressure   jet   wash   in  
t

he   engine   compartment.
Unless
  there   is   a   leak   in   the   circuit,   a   drop   in  
t

he   brake   fluid   level   indicates   that   the   brake  
p

ads   are   worn.
