Stop & StartThe Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...).
T he 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.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
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 or the "START/STOP"
button.
The "ECO" warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
- with a manual gearbox, at speeds below 12 mph (20 km/h), or vehicle stationary with
PureTech 130 petrol and BlueHDi 115 and
120 Diesel versions, when you put the gear
lever into neutral and release the clutch
pedal,
-

w
ith an automatic gearbox, vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or place the gear selector in position N .
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
or the "START/STOP" button.
STOP mode is not invoked when:
-
t he vehicle is on a steep slope (up or down),
-

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 the key or the
"START/STOP" button),
-

t
he electric parking brake is applied or being
applied,
-

t
he engine is needed to maintain a comfortable
temperature in the passenger compartment,
-

d

-

s
ome special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.
Special cases: STOP mode

out by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Maintenance
This system requires the use of a 12 V battery
of specific technology and characteristics
(reference numbers available from a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN would
introduces the risk of faults with the system.

Lane departure warning system
System which detects the involuntary crossing
of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the
ground (solid or broken line).
