Before switching off the engine, you can change to position P or N to be in neutral.
I
n either case, apply the parking brake to
i
mmobilise the vehicle, unless it is programmed
i
n automatic mode.
If the lever is not in position P ,
on opening the
d
river's door or approximately 45 seconds after
s
witching off the ignition there is an audible
s
ignal and a message appears:
F
m
ove the gear selector to position P; the
a
udible signal stops and the message
d
isappears.
Operating fault
Whenever parking, you must apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle, if automatic
o
peration has been deactivated.
Parking the vehicle
In all circumstances, ensure that the
gear selector is in position P before
leaving
your vehicle. In the event of a fault with the
gearbox,
the service warning lamp
c
omes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by a message and an
a
udible
s
ignal.
In this case the gearbox goes into back-up
m
ode and stays in 3
rd gear. You may then feel a n
oticeable
jolt
when
going from P to R and from
N to R .
This
jolt
does
not present any risk to the
g
earbox.
Do
not
exceed
60

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.

Special cases: START invoked
automaticallyIn some circumstances, such as the need to
maintain a comfortable temperature in the
passenger compartment, it may be necessary
t

The system can be deactivated at any time,
once
the ignition is on.
If
the engine is in STOP mode, it then restarts.
The Stop & Start system is automatically

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified w orkshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the vehicle
may
stall.
All
of the instrument panel warning lamps come on.
Depending on version, an alert message may also be displayed, asking you to place the gear
s
elector lever at position N and put your foot on
the

The cruise control system cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to observe speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Y ou are advised to keep your feet near the pedals at all times.
Switching on the cruise control requires a

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

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

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
l
imits,
n
or
t
he
n
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.
Pause
The dynamic cruise control can be paused
manually b y:
-
a
ction by the driver:
●
o
n button 4,
●
o
n the brake pedal,
●
o
n the electric parking brake control,
●
w
hen changing from D to N with an
automatic
gearbox.
-
o
r automatically, if operation of the ESC
system
is triggered for reasons of safety.
Following
braking of the vehicle
b
ringing it to a complete stop, the
s
ystem holds the vehicle stationary ;
t
he cruise control is paused. The driver
s
hould press the accelerator pedal to
move off, then reactivate the system
by
