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.

Limits of operation
The system cannot exceed the limits of the laws of physics.
It is recommended that the system be
deactivated when the "space-saver" spare
wheel
is in use.
The system should not be activated when
towing
a trailer.
In certain critical situations, the system will
encourage
the driver to immediately take back
c
ontrol:
-
i
f the vehicle in front slows down too much
or too suddenly, and the driver does not
brake,
-
i
f a vehicle comes between your vehicle
and
the vehicle in front. As
the radar's field of detection is quite narrow,
i
t is possible that the system may not detect:
-
v
ehicles of reduced width (motorcycles,
scooters...),
-
v
ehicles not running in the middle of the
lan
e,
-
v
ehicles entering a corner,
-
v
ehicles suddenly pulling out.The
cruise control does not take account of:
-
p
edestrians, cyclists, animals,
-
s
tationary vehicles (traffic jam, red light,
b
reakdown...),
-
v
ehicles crossing a junction,
-
v
ehicles driving in the opposite direction.

Limits of operation
The system goes into standby automatically in the following cases:
-
ES
C deactivated or operation
triggered,
-
s
peed below 40 mph (65 km/h) or
a
bove 112 mph (180 km/h),
-
c
onnected electrically to a trailer,
-
u
se of the "space-saver" spare
wheel detected (as detection is
not immediate, deactivation of the
system is recommended),
-
d
ynamic driving style detected,
p
ressure on the brake or
a
ccelerator pedal,
-
d
riving where there are no lane
ma
rkings,
-
ope
ration of the direction indicators,
-
d
riving in a tight corner,
-
i
nactivity by the driver detected
during
c
orrection. The system may not operate correctly
or
at all in the following situations:
-
c
onditions of poor visibility
(inadequate
street lighting,
s
nowfall, rain, fog),
-
d
azzle (headlamps of on oncoming
v
ehicle, low sun, reflections on a
wet
road sur face, leaving a tunnel,
a
lternating light and shade),
-
a
rea of the windscreen in front of
the camera dirty, misted, frosted,
snow-covered,
damaged or
c
overed by a sticker,
-
r
oad markings absent, worn,
h
idden (snow, mud) or multiple
(roadworks),
-
r
unning close to the vehicle in front
(
the lane markings may not be
d
etected),
-
n
arrow, twisty roads.Risk of undesirable operation
Deactivation of the system is recommended in
the following situations:
-
d
riving on a road sur face in poor condition,
-
u
nfavorable weather conditions,
-
d
riving on slippery sur faces (black ice).
The
system is not designed for the following
d
riving
s
ituations:
-
d
riving on a speed circuit,
-
d
riving with a trailer,
-
d
riving on a rolling road,
-
d
riving on unstable sur faces.
In the event of a fault with the system, you are
alerted
by the illumination of these warning
lam
ps in the instrument panel, accompanied by
the
display of a message and an audible signal.
Have
the system checked by a CITROËN
d
ealer or a qualified workshop.

Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
When this warning lamp comes on, coupled with the STOP and ABS warning
l
amps, accompanied by an audible signal
a
nd a message, it indicates that there
i
s a fault with the electronic brake force
di
stribution
(
EBFD).
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
The fixed illumination of this warning lamp indicates that there is a fault
with
the ABS. Depending
on version, your vehicle has a s
ystem to help driving on snow: intelligent
traction control.
This system detects situations of difficult
sur face
adhesion that could make it difficult to
m
ove off or make progress on deep fresh snow
o
r compacted snow.
In these situations, the intelligent traction
control limits the amount of wheel slip to
provide
the best traction and trajectory control
f
or your vehicle.
The
use of snow tyres is strongly
r
ecommended on sur faces offering low levels
o
f adhesion.
When
changing wheels (tyres and
r
ims), ensure that these are approved
for
your vehicle.
Normal
operation of the ABS may make
i
tself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
ped
al.
In emergency braking, press ver y
firmly and maintain this pressure.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In
both
cases, have the system checked by a
C
ITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as
s
oon
as
possible.
The
vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
c
arefully
at moderate speed.

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.
