Going into engine START
mode
This indicator lamp goes off and the engine s tarts a utomatically:
-
w
hen
you fully
depress the clutch pedal.
START
mode is invoked automatically when:
-
y
ou
open the driver's door,
-
y
ou
open the bonnet,
-
y
ou
unfasten the driver's seat belt,
-
s
ome
special conditions (battery charge,
e
ngine temperature, braking assistance,
d
escending a steep gradient, adjustment of
t
he
air conditioning...) where the engine is
n
eeded for control of a system.
Special cases: START invoked
automatically
In the event o f a f ault w ith t he s ystem, t
his warning lamp flashes in the
in
strument
pan
el.
Operating fault
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified w orkshop.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked principally when:
- t he driver's door is open,
-
t
he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-
t
he engine is needed to maintain a
c
omfortable temperature in the passenger
c
ompartment,
-
d
emisting is active,
-
s
ome special conditions (battery charge,
e
ngine temperature, braking assistance,
v
ehicle stopped on a steep gradient, high
a
ltitude...) where the engine is needed to
a
ssure control of a system.

Never leave accumulations of snow or any object projecting above the bonnet
o
r in front of the roof: this might fall into
t
he field of vision of the sensor and
g
enerate a detection.
Operating limits
The system o nly d etects v ehicles (cars, lorries) t
hat are stationary or moving in the same
d
irection as your vehicle. In
difficult weather conditions (very
h
eavy rain, snow, fog, hail...), braking
d
istances increase, which can reduce
t
he ability of the system to avoid a
c
ollision.
The
driver must therefore remain
par
ticularly
v
igilant.
The
system is not triggered or is interrupted if
t
he
d
river:
-
a
ccelerates strongly (even if the speed
l
imiter is on),
-
o
r turns the steering wheel suddenly
(
avoiding
m
anoeuvre).
Detection
capability is less effective if:
-
y
ou are driving on roads with pronounced
b
ends and/or on roads in poor condition,
-
y
our vehicle is excessively loaded, as
t
his changes the horizontal attitude of the
v
ehicle.
-
y
our vehicle skids.
It
does not detect small vehicles
(
bicycles, motorcycles), pedestrians or
a
nimals, nor non-reflective stationary
ob
jects.Unwanted triggering of the system
It is possible for the system to detect a risk of imminent collision and start working, in the
fo
llowing
c
onditions
in par
ticular:
-
d
etection of an object located close to the
e
dge of the road entering a corner (safety
b
arrier, lamp post or road sign),
-
d
etection of a structure located at the top
o
r bottom of a steep slope (advertising
h
oarding, steet lighting),
-
d
etection of reflective objects (central
r
eservation...) in the road,
-
d
etection of the upper bar of a bridge or a
t
raffic light gantry,
-
p
assing a vehicle travelling in the other
d
irection in a corner,
-
p
assing a vehicle traveling in the other
d
irection, at a crossroads, when your
v
ehicle is turning left or right,
-
i
f the vehicle ahead of you sends up water
o
r snow,
-
i
f your vehicle stops very close to an
ov
erhanging wall or other vehicles,
-
w
hen your vehicle closes rapidly on the
v
ehicle
a
head,
-
i
f the vehicle is raised or lowered,
-
i
f the vehicle passes through a plastic
c
urtain,
-
i
f driving through mist or smoke,
-
i
f the sensor is misaligned (following
r
eplacement after a collision).

Operating faults
Sensor fault
The operation of the laser sensor may suffer inter ference from accumulations of dirt or
m
isting of the windscreen or the presence of
a
n object causing an obstruction (e.g.: bonnet
ope
n). In
this case you are warned by the
d
isplay of this flashing warning lamp
i
n the instrument panel.
Use
the windscreen demisting and regularly
c
lean the area of the windscreen in front of the
sen
sor.Do
not stick or other wise fix any object
o
n the windscreen in front of the sensor.
System fault
In the event of a malfunction of the system, you are warned by the
d
isplay of this flashing warning lamp
i
n the instrument panel.
Have
the
system checked by a CITROËN
d
ealer
or
a qualified workshop.
In
the event of an impact to the
w
indscreen at the sensor, deactivate
t
he
system and contact a CITROËN
d
ealer or a qualified workshop to have
y
our windscreen replaced.
Never
try to remove, adjust or test the
sen
sor.
Only
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop is able to work on the system.

Bonnet
Do not open the bonnet when there is a
very strong wind.
When
the engine is hot, handle the
e
xterior safety catch and the stay with
c
are (risk of burns).

n.
Opening
F Pull
towards you the interior release lever, l
ocated in the lower dashboard.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might
be caught by the fan blades.
Closing
F Take the stay out of the support notch.
F C lip the stay in its housing.
F
L
ower the bonnet and release it near the
e
nd of its travel.
F
P

l
atched.
Because of the presence of electrical
equipment
under
the
bonnet,
it
is
r
ecommended
that
exposure
to
water
(
rain,
washing,
...)
be
limited.

Checking levels
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine
m
ay be extremely hot (risk of burns) and
t
he cooling fan could start at any time
(
even with the ignition off).
Engine oil level
The check of the oil level is carried out with the dipstick, located under
t
he bonnet. For the position of the
d
ipstick, refer to the under-bonnet
v
iew on a previous page.
Checking with dipstick
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
I f a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
To
ensure the accuracy of the reading,
y
our vehicle must be on a level
s
ur face, with the engine off for at least
3
0 minutes.
It
is normal to top up the oil level between
t
wo services (or oil changes). CITROËN
r
ecommends that you check the level, and top
u
p if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 km). If
you find that the oil level is above the A mark
o
r below the B mark, do not star t the engine.
-
I
f the level is above the MAX
mark (risk
o
f engine damage), contact a CITROËN
d
ealer or a qualified workshop.
-
I
f the level is below the MIN
mark, you
m
ust top-up the engine oil.
Refer
to the under-bonnet view for the location
o
f the dipstick on your vehicle.
F
T
ake the dipstick by its coloured grip and
p
ull it out completely.
F
W
ith the end of the dipstick with a clean
a
nd non-fluffy cloth.
F
R
efit the dipstick and push it fully down,
t
hen pull it out again for a visual check of
t
he oil level: the level must be between the
t
wo marks A and B.
