Manual parking brake
Mechanical device for immobilising the vehicle when stationary.This warning lamp comes on if the
parking brake is engaged or not fully
released.
If the parking brake is released, the
illumination of this warning lamp along with
the STOP warning lamp indicates that the
brake fluid level is low or a fault with the brake
force distributor.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Application
F Pull the parking brake lever up to
immobilise your vehicle.
To facilitate the action on the lever, you are
recommended to press the brake pedal at the
same time.

Stop & Start
Operation
- with a manual gearbox, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h) with BlueHDi Diesel
versions, when you put the gear lever into
neutral and release the clutch pedal,
- with an automatic gearbox, vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or place the gear lever in position N .
Going into engine STOP
mode
The "ECO" warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically: 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 zero every time the ignition
is switched on with the key.
Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
In this case, the "ECO"
warning
lamp flashes for a few seconds, then
goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal. STOP mode is not invoked when:
- the vehicle is on a steep slope (up or
d ow n),
- the driver's door is open,
- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,
- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last engine start using
the key,
- the electric parking brake is applied or
being applied,
- the engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
- demisting is active,
- some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.
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.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
STOP mode does not affect the functionality of
the vehicle, such as braking, power steering,
for example.Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key.

The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of the
tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.The alert is maintained until the tyre or
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or a
steel rim) does not have a sensor.
Under-inflation alert
The aler t is given by the fixed illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal, and depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres,
the symbol or the message appears, according
to equipment, to identify it.
F
Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering
movements or harsh brake applications.
F Stop as soon as it is safe to do so. F
If you have a compressor (the one in the
temporary puncture repair kit for example),
check the four tyre pressures when cold.
If it is not possible to check the tyre
pressures at the time, drive carefully at
reduced speed.
or
F In the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (according to equipment).
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of the under-inflation
warning lamp accompanied by
the illumination of the service warning lamp
indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.
This alert is also displayed when one or more
wheels is not fitted with a sensor (for example,
a space-saver or steel spare wheel).
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked
or, following the repair of a puncture, to
have the original wheel, equipped with a
sensor, refitted.
Any tyre repair or replacement on a
wheel fitted with this system must be
carried out by a CITR oËn dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If after changing a tyre, a wheel is not
detected by your vehicle (fitting snow
tyres for example), you must have the
system reinitialised by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
