C4-Picasso-II_en_Chap04_conduite_ed01-2016
Depending on the driving situation and your vehicle's   equipment,   the   system   may   advise  
y

ou   to   skip   one   or   more   gears.
You
  can   follow   this   instruction   without   going  
t

hrough   the   intermediate   gears..
Gear shift indicator
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most suitable gear. T he   system   adapts   its   gear   change  
r

ecommendation   according   to   the  
d

riving   conditions   (gradient,   load, ...)  
a

nd the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration,
  braking, ...).
The
  system   never   suggests:
-
 
e
ngaging   first   gear,
-
 enga

ging
 r
everse
 g
ear.
The information appears in the instrument
panel
  in   the   form   of   an   arrow.
On
  vehicles   with   manual   gearbox,   the   arrow  
m

ay be accompanied by the recommended
g e a r.
The gear engagement recommendations
must not be considered compulsory.
This is because the configuration of the
road, traffic density and safety remain
impor tant factors in the choice of the best
g e a r.
The
  gear   shift   indicator   system   does   not  
r

eplace   the   need   for   vigilance   on   the   part   of   the  
d

river.
With
  an   automatic   gearbox,   the   system   is   only   active   in   manual   mode.
On
  BlueHDi   Diesel   135   and   150   versions   with  
m

anual   gearbox,   in   certain   driving   conditions  
t

he   system   may   suggest   changing   into   neutral  
s

o   that   the   engine   can   go   into   standby   (STOP  
m

ode   with   Stop   &   Start).   In   this   case,   N is
displayed
  in   the   instrument   panel.Example:
This
  function   cannot   be   deactivated.
-
 
Y
ou   are   in   third   gear.
-
 
Y
ou   press   the   accelerator   pedal.
-
 
T
he   system   may   suggest   that   you   engage  
a

  higher   gear.

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.

Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres,
  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
or
  more   tyres. The under-inflation detection system
does
  not   replace   the   need   for   vigilance  
o

n   the   part   of   the   driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check
  the   tyre   pressures   (including   the  
s

pare wheel) every month as well as
before
  a   long   journey.
Driving
  with   under-inflated   tyres   impairs  
r

oad   holding,   extends   braking   distances  
a

nd causes premature tyre wear,
particularly 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
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure
  label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding
 s

ection.
Tyre
  pressures   should   be   checked  
w

hen the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped
  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.

AdBlue® additive and SCR system
for
 
BlueHDi   Diesel   engines
To assure respect for the environment and
conformity with the new Euro 6 emissions
standard,
  without   adversely   affecting   the  
p

er formance or fuel consumption of Diesel
engines,
  CITROËN   has   taken   the   decision   to  
e

quip its vehicles with an effective system that
associates SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction)
with a particle filter (FAP) for the treatment of
exhaust
  gases.
Presentation of the SCR system
Using a fluid called AdBlue® containing urea, a c
atalytic
 
converter
 
turns
 
up
 
to   85%   of   nitrogen  
o

xides
 
(NOx)
 
into
 
nitrogen
 
and   water,   which   are  
h

armless
 
to
 
health
 
and
 
the
 
environment. The AdBlue
® additive is held in a special
tank
 
located
  under   the   boot   at   the   rear   of  
t

he
 
vehicle.
 
It   has   a   capacity   of   17   litres:   this  
p

rovides
 
a
 
driving   range   of   about   12   500   miles  
(

20
 
000
 
km),
  after   which   an   alert   is   triggered  
w

arning
 
you
 
when   the   reserve   remaining   is  
e

nough
 
for
 
just   1   500   miles   (2   400   km).
During
 
each
  scheduled   service   of   your   vehicle  
b

y
 
a
 
CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop,  
t

he AdBlue
® additive tank is refilled in order to a
llow
 
normal   operation   of   the   SCR   system.
If
 
the
 
estimated   mileage   between   two   services  
i

s
 
greater
 
than   12   500   miles   (20   000   km),   we  
r

ecommend
  that   you   go   to   a   CITROËN   dealer  
o

r
 
a
 
qualified   workshop   to   have   the   necessary  
t

op-up
 
carried   out. Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a s
ystem
 
required
  by   regulations  
p

revents
 
starting
 
of   the   engine.
If the SCR

is faulty, the level of
emissions from your vehicle will no
longer
 
meet
 
the
 
Euro   6   standard:   you  
v

ehicle
 
becomes
 
polluting.
In the event of a confirmed fault
with
 
the
 
SCR
 
system,   you   must   go  
t

o a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop
 
as
 
soon   as   possible:   after  
a

 
running
 
distance   of   650   miles  
(

1 100
 
km),
 
a
 
system   will   be   triggered  
a

utomatically
 
to
 
prevent   engine   starting.
