The Stop & Start system
requires a battery of specific
characteristics.
All
work on this
type of battery must be done only
by
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
For more information on the 12 V
battery
, refer to "Battery" in section 8.
Good practice when stopping Good practice when starting
Diesel pre-heating warning
lamp
If the temperature is high
enough, the warning lamp
comes on for less than
one second, you can start
without
waiting.
In cold weather, wait for this warning
lamp to go off then operate the starter
(Starting position) until the engine
starts. Door or bonnet open
warning lamp
If this comes on, a door or the bonnet
is
not closed correctly, check!
Minimise engine and gearbox wear
When switching off the ignition, let the
engine run for a few seconds to allow
the turbocharger (Diesel engine) to
return
to idle.
Do not press the accelerator when
switching
off the ignition.
There is no need to engage a gear
after
parking the vehicle.
STARTING AND ST OPPING
Running and accessories position.
To
unlock the steering, turn the
steering wheel gently while turning the
key
, without forcing. In this position,
certain
accessories can be used.

Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
system
to
avoid
the
risk
of
injury
related to an automatic change to
ST

mode.
Driving on flooded roads
Before
driving
through
a
flooded
road,
it is strongly recommended that you
deactivate
the
Stop
&
Start
system.

HILL START ASSIST
This system (also called HHC - Hill
Holder
Control), linked to the dynamic
stability
control system, makes hill
starts easier and is activated in the
following
conditions:
-
the vehicle must be stationary
,
engine
running, foot on the brake,
-
the gradient of the road must be
steeper than 5%,
-
uphill, the gearbox must be in
neutral or in a gear other than
reverse,
-
downhill, reverse gear must be
engaged.
The Hill Start
Assist system is a driving
aid.
It is not an automatic vehicle
parking
function or an automatic
parking
brake.
Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal pressed, from the time you release
the brake pedal, without using the
parking
brake, you have approximately
2
seconds to move off before the
vehicle
starts to roll back.
During the moving off phase, the
function is deactivated automatically,
gradually
releasing the braking
pressure.
During this phase, the
characteristic noise of mechanical
release
of the brakes may be heard,
indicating the imminent movement of
the
vehicle.
Operating fault
Hill start assist is deactivated in the
following situations:
-
when the clutch pedal is released,
-
when
the parking brake is applied,
-
when the engine is switched of
f,
-
when
the engine stalls.
If a malfunction of the
system occurs, this
warning lamp comes on
accompanied by an audible
signal
and confirmed by
a
message in the screen. Have the
system
checked by a CITROËN dealer
or
a qualified workshop.

DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS
Observe the driving regulations and
remain vigilant whatever the traffic
conditions.
Pay
close attention to the traffic and
keep
your hands on the wheel so that
you are ready to react at any time to
any
eventuality.
As a safety precaution, the driver
must only carry out actions requiring
sustained attention when the vehicle is
stationary.
On
a long journey, a break every
two hours
is strongly recommended.
In
difficult weather, drive smoothly,
anticipate
the need to brake and
increase the distance from other
vehicles.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving
on flooded roads, as this could cause
serious damage to the engine or
gearbox, as well as to the electrical
systems
of your vehicle. If you are obliged to drive through
water:
-
check
that the depth of water does
not
exceed 15 cm, taking account
of waves that might be generated
by other users,
-
deactivate the Stop & Start system,
-
drive as slowly as possible without
stallin
g. In all cases, do not exceed 6
mph (10 km/h),
- do not stop and do not switch of f
the
engine.
On
leaving the flooded road, as soon
as
circumstances allow, make several
light
brake applications to dry the brake
discs
and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
workshop.Never
drive with the parking brake
applied
- Risk of overheating and
damage
to the braking system!
Risk of fire!
As the exhaust system of your vehicle
is very hot, even several minutes
after switching off the engine, do not
park or leave the engine running over
areas
where inflammable substances
and
materials are present: grass,
leaves, etc.
Never leave a vehicle
unsupervised with the engine
running.
If you have to leave your vehicle with the engine running,
apply
the parking brake and put the
gearbox into neutral or position
N or P,
depending
on the type of gearbox.
Important!

For more information about
weights and towed loads, refer to
chapter 9, "Weights" section.
TOWING A TRAILER , A CARA VAN ...
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so
that
the heaviest objects are as
close as possible to the axle and
the nose weight is close to the
maximum authorised without, however
,
exceeding
it.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the
coolant temperature. As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the
engine speed.
You should therefore use a high gear
to lower the engine speed and reduce
your
speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant
temperature.
Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox
in neutral.

Good practice
Bleeding water from the Diesel
filter
Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
In order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, we strongly
advise you not to use high
pressure washing to clean the engine
compartment.
After washing the vehicle dampness,
or
in
winter, ice may form on the brake
discs
and pads: braking efficiency may
be
reduced. Make some light brake
applications to dry and de-ice the
brakes.
If this warning lamp comes
on,
bleed
the
filter.
Otherwise
bleed regularly each time the
engine
oil
is
changed.
HDi engines use advanced
technology.
All
work
requires
special training, so should be
entrusted
to
a
CITROËN
dealer.
Depending
on
country
of
sale.
To drain the water, unscrew the bleed
screw
located
on
the
filter.
Operate until all of the water no longer
flows
in
the
transparent
pipe,
then
tighten
the
bleed
screw.
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation
of
units as important as the braking
system, CITROËN selects and of
fers
specific products.

Without lifting (4 wheels on the
road)
You should always use a towing arm.
BEING TOWED
This procedure involves the use of
the towing eye supplied with the tools
for
changing a wheel.
From the front
- Unclip the cover by pressing the
bottom part.
-
Fully screw in the removable
towing eye.
From the rear
- Unclip the cover using a coin or the
flat part of the towing eye,
-
Fully screw in the removable
towing eye. When towing with the engine
switched
off, there is no braking or
steering
assistance.
Lifting (only 2 wheels on the
road)
It is preferable to raise the vehicle
using
professional lifting equipment.Vehicles fitted with a manual
gearbox (Diesel version)
In
the case of vehicles fitted with
a manual gearbox, the gear lever
must be in neutral, failure to observe
this special condition may result in
damage
to transmission and braking
components and the absence of
braking
assistance when the engine is
started
again.
