In the event of a fault with the system, the indicator lamp in the "ECO OFF" button
flashes
for a few moments, then comes on
c
ontinuously.
Have
it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified
w
orkshop.
In
the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
v
ehicle may stall. All of the warning lamps
i
n the instrument panel come on. It is then
n
ecessary to switch off the ignition and start
t
he engine again using the key.
Operating fault
The Stop & Start system requires
a 12 V battery with a special
s
pecification
a
nd
t
echnology.
All
work on this type of battery must be
c
arried out only by a CITROËN dealer
o
r a qualified workshop.
For
more information on the 12 V
b
attery, refer to the corresponding
s
ection.
Press
this
button
to
deactivate
the
system.
Deactivation
is
confirmed
by
illumination
of
the
i
ndicator
lamp
in
the
button
and
the
display
of
a
message.
Pressing

Deactivation / Manual
reactivation
In certain cases, such as the need to maintain a comfortable temperature in the passenger
c
ompartment, it may be useful to deactivate the
S
top & Start system.
The
system can be deactivated at any time,
o
nce the ignition is on.
If
the engine is in STOP mode, it then restarts.
The
Stop & Start system is reactivated
a
utomatically every time the ignition is
switched
on.
Opening the bonnet
Before
doing anything under the
b
onnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
s
ystem to avoid the risk of injury
r
elated to an automatic change to
S
TART mode.
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 advice on driving, particularly

Driving advice
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the h
eaviest items are as close as possible to
t
he axle and the nose weight approaches
t
he maximum permitted without
e
xceeding it.
Air
density decreases with altitude, thus
r
educing engine per formance. Above
1 0
00 metres, the maximum towed load must
b
e reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of
al
titude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity t
o side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.
As
the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
c
apacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
s
peed.
The
maximum towed load on a long incline
d
epends on the gradient and the ambient
t
emperature.
In
all cases, keep a check on the coolant
t
emperature. F
I
f the warning lamp and
t
he STOP
warning lamp come
o
n, stop the vehicle and switch
o
ff the engine as soon as
p
ossible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
m
ountain type of descent, the use of engine
b
raking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing v
ehicle and of the trailer, observing the
re
commended
p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling o
n the trailer.
Refer
to
the
"Technical
data"
section
for
details
o
f
the
weights
and
towed
loads
which
apply
to
y
our
vehicle.
The rear parking sensors will be
d
eactivated automatically if a genuine
C
ITROËN towbar is used.

Very cold climate screen(s)*
Removable protective screen(s) which prevents the accumulation of snow at the radiator cooling fan.

Fitting
F Offer up the corresponding screen to the l

Coolant level
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X" mark but should never
e
xceed it.
In
addition, as the cooling system is pressurised,
w
ait
at
least one hour after switching off the
e
ngine
before carrying out any work.
To
avoid
any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
b
y
two
turns to allow the pressure to drop.
W
hen
the
pressure has dropped, remove the
c
ap
and
top up the level.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be replaced at routine ser vices.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the manufacturer's r ecommendations.
When
the engine is warm, the temperature of
t
he coolant is regulated by the fan.
The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and
clothing that might be caught by the fan
blades.
Fluid specification
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing, t his fluid must not be topped up or replaced
w
ith plain water.
In

Screenwash fluid level
Top up the level when necessary.
To p p i n g u p
This additive must be topped up by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop without delay.
Diesel additive level (Diesel
engine with particle filter)
A low additive level is indicated by illumination of the service warning lamp, accompanied
b
y an audible warning and a message in the
s
creen (if a display screen is fitted).Avoid
prolonged contact of used oil or
f
luids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to
h
ealth or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
s
ewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a CITROËN dealer or
a
qualified workshop (France) or to an
a
uthorised waste disposal site.
