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 efficiency 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,
a
cceleration, braking, ...).
The
system never suggests:
-
e
ngaging first gear,
-
enga
ging
r
everse
g
ear.
The
information appears in the instrument
p
anel 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 efficiency 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
1
2 mph (20 km/h), or vehicle stationary
(
with PureTech 130, THP 165 and
B
lueHDi 100, 115 and 120 versions), when
y
ou 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
a
t 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
a
vailable for a few seconds after
c
oming out of reverse gear.
The
Stop & Start system does not affect
t
he 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
c
ounter
calculates
the
sum
of
the
periods
in
S
TOP
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 t
yres, 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
o
r more tyres. The
under-inflation detection system
d
oes not replace the need for vigilance
o
n the part of the driver.
This
system does not avoid the need to
c
heck the tyre pressures (including the
s
pare wheel) every month as well as
b
efore a long journey.
Driving
with under-inflated tyres impairs
r
oad holding, extends braking distances
a
nd causes premature tyre wear,
p
articularly 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
y
our vehicle can be found on the tyre
p
ressure label.
For
more information on the
I
dentification markings, refer to the
corresponding
s
ection.
Tyre
pressures should be checked
w
hen the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
s
topped 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
f
or
BlueHDi Diesel engines
To assure respect for the environment and c
onformity with the new Euro 6 emissions
s
tandard, without adversely affecting the
p
er formance or fuel consumption of Diesel
e
ngines, CITROËN has taken the decision to
e
quip its vehicles with an effective system that
a
ssociates SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction)
w
ith a particle filter (FAP) for the treatment of
e
xhaust 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 t
ank
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
l
onger
meet
the
Euro 6 standard: you
v
ehicle
becomes
polluting.
In
the
event
of
a
confirmed fault
w
ith
the
SCR
system, you must go
t
o
a
CITROËN
dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop
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.
