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

Driving on flooded roads
Before
 
driving
 
through
 
a
 
flooded
 
road,
 
i

t
 
is
 
strongly
 
recommended
 
that
 
you
 
d

eactivate
 
the
 
Stop
 
&
 
Start
 
system.
For more information on Driving
advice , particularly on flooded roads,
refer
 
to
 
the
 
corresponding
 
section. The Stop & Start system requires a
battery
  of   advanced   technology   and  
sp

ecial
 c
haracteristics.
All
 
work   on   this   type   of   battery   must  
o

nly be done by a CITROËN dealer
or
 
a
  qualified   workshop.
For more information on the
12 V

Dynamic cruise control with Stop function
The dynamic cruise control is a driving aid that cannot in any circumstances
replace the observation of speed limits
and safe distances, nor the need for
vigilance
  on   the   part   of   the   driver.
It
 
i
s  
r
ecommended   that  
y
ou   always  
k
eep  
y

our   feet   close   to   the   pedals.
The
  driver   must   be   ready   to   take   back  
c

ontrol of their vehicle at any time,
using
  the   brake   or   accelerator   pedal   as  
a

ppropriate.
This
 
system
 
assures
 
two
 
functions:
-
 
a

utomatic
 
regulation
 
of
 
the
 
speed
 
of
 
the
 v
ehicle
 
to
 
a
 
value
 
programmed
 
by
 
the
 d
river,
-
 
a

utomatic
 
adjustment
 
of
 
the
 
distance
 
b

etween your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead.
It
 
manages
 
the
 
acceleration
 
and
 
deceleration
 
o

f
 
the
 
vehicle
 
by
 
automatically
 
acting
 
on
 
the
 
e

ngine
 
and
 
the
 
braking
 
system.
To do this, the system has a radar, located in
the
 
middle
 
of
 
the
 
front
 
bumper,
 
with
 
a
 
maximum
 
r

ange
 
of
 
150
 
metres.
Principles
This system detects a vehicle running in front of y our   vehicle,   travelling   in   the   same   direction.
It automatically adapts the speed of your
vehicle to that of the vehicle in front, to maintain
a
  constant   distance.
If
  the   vehicle   in   front   is   running   more   slowly,   the  
s

ystem   slows,   or   even   stops   your   vehicle,   using  
e

ngine   braking   and   the   braking   system.
If
  the   braking   system   is   used   to   decelerate   the  
v

ehicle,   the   brake   lamps   come   on.
If
  the   vehicle   in   front   accelerates   or   changes  
l

ane,   the   cruise   control   progressively  
a

ccelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed
 s

peed.
If the driver operates a direction indicator to
overtake
  a   slower   vehicle,   the   dynamic   cruise  
c

ontrol allows your vehicle to temporarily
approach the vehicle in front to assist the
overtaking
 ma

noeuvre,
 t
hough
 n
ever
 e
xceeding
 t

he   programmed   speed.

Operating fault
As a safety measure, do not use the system if
the  brake   lamps   are   faulty.
Do not use the system if the front bumper is
damaged. In the event of a fault with the cruise
control, you are alerted by the
illumination
  of   this   warning   lamp  
a

nd   the   display   of   a   message   in   the  
in

strument panel, accompanied by an
audible
 s
ignal.
The cruise control operates by day and at
night,
 
in
 
fog
 
or
 
moderate
 
rainfall.
However,
 
it
 
is
 
strongly
 
recommended
 
that
 
y

ou
 
always
 
keep
 
a
 
safe
 
distance
 
from
 
v

ehicles
 
ahead,
 
according
 
to
 
the
 
driving
 
c

onditions, the weather and the road
sur face.
Use the cruise control only where the
driving
 
conditions
 
allow
 
running
 
at
 
a
 
c

onstant speed and at an adequate safe
distance.
Do not use the cruise control in urban
areas,
 
heavy
 
traffic,
 
on
 
winding
 
or
 
steep
 
r

oads
 
or
 
on
 
slippery
 
or
 
flooded
 
sur faces.
In certain circumstances, it may not
be
 
possible

Assisted lane departure warning system
Using a camera placed at the top of the windscreen to identify lane markings on the ground, this systems corrects the trajectory of the vehicle while alerting   the   driver   if   it   detects   a   risk   of   involuntary   crossing   of   a   line.
This
  system   is   particularly   useful   on   motor ways   and   main   roads.
The

The driver remains responsible for the
vehicle
  in   all   circumstances.   The   system
 h

elps   the   driver   only   when   there   is   a   risk
 o

f   the   vehicle   involuntarily   wandering
 f

rom   the   lane   it   is   being   driven   on.
 I

t   does   not   manage   the   safe   driving
 d

istance, the speed of the vehicle or the
brakes.
The
  driver   must   hold   the   steering   wheel
 i

n   a   way   that   allows   control   to   be   taken
 b

ack   in   circumstances   where   the   system
 i

s not able to intervene (where there are
no
  lane   markings,   for   example).
It
  is   necessary   to   observe   the   driving
 r

egulations   and   take   a   break   every
 t

wo hours.
Operation
Conditions for operation
The speed of the vehicle must be between 40
and
  112   mph   (65   and   180   km/h).
The
  carriageway   must   have   at   least   one   lane  
m

arking   (solid   or   broken)   on   the   ground.
The driver must hold the wheel with both
hands.
The
  change   of   trajectory   is   not   accompanied   by  
o

peration   of   the   direction   indicators.
The
  ESC   system   must   be   activated. Once
  the   system   identifies   a   risk   of   the   vehicle  i
nvoluntarily   crossing   one   of   the   lane   markings  
d

etected,   it   makes   the   correction   to   the  
t

rajectory   necessary   to   return   the   vehicle   to   its  
in

itial
 pa
th.
The
  driver   will   then   notice   a   turning   movement  
o

f   the   steering   wheel.
This
  warning   lamp   flashes   during  
t

rajectory
 c
orrection.
If the driver wishes to maintain the
trajectory
  of   the   vehicle,   they   can  
p

revent   the   correction   by   keeping   a   firm  
g

rip   on   the   wheel   (during   an   avoiding  
m

anoeuvre,   for   example).
The correction is interrupted if the
direction
  indicators   are   operated.
