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.
With a manual gearbox, at a
speed below 12 mph (20 km/h),
If your vehicle is fitted with the
system, a time counter calculates

-
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

engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.
Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
In this case, the "ECO" warning lamp
flashes for a few seconds, then goes

This operation is perfectly normal.
With an automatic gearbox,
when
the vehicle is stationary, this warning mode during a journey. It resets itself to zero
every time the ignition is switched on with the

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.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as
well as the noise level when stationary.

Operating fault
In some cases, such as the maintaining of a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment, it may be useful to deactivate the
Stop & Start.
Deactivation can be requested at any time once
the ignition has been switched on.
If the engine is in STOP mode, it restarts
straight away.
The Stop & Start is reactivated automatically
each time the ignition is switched on.
Deactivation / Reactivation
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall. All of the instrument panel
warning lamps come on.
Depending on version, an alert message may
also be displayed asking you to put the gear
lever into position N and put your foot on the
brake pedal.
It is then necessary to switch off the ignition,
then restart the engine.
The Stop & Start requires a 12
V
battery with special technology and
specifications. All work on this type of
battery must be carried out exclusively
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
For more information on the 12 V
battery , refer to the corresponding
section. In the event of a malfunction with
the system, the "ECO OFF" switch
warning lamp flashes, then comes on
continuously.

Front parking sensorsOperating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the
system, when reverse gear is engaged
this warning lamp is displayed in the
instrument panel and/or a message
appears in the screen, accompanied
by an audible signal (short beep).
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when an
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
The function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed
or a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle
fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by CITROËN).In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is
engaged, an audible signal (long beep)
indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger
the audible signals of the parking
sensor system.Deactivation/Activation of the front
and rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this
button. The indicator lamp in the button
comes
on.
Pressing this button again reactivates the
function. The indicator lamp in the button
goes
off.
The sound emitted by the speaker
(front or rear) indicates whether the
obstacle is in front or behind.

FuelCapacity of the tank: approximately 60 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level in the
tank is reached, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible warning
and the display of an alert message.
When it first comes on, around
6
litres of fuel remain in the tank.
Refuelling
F Press this button until the automatic opening of the fuel flap is heard.
T

his button remains active for a few
minutes after switching off the ignition. If

F

T
ake care to select the pump that delivers
the correct fuel for your vehicle.
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop &
Start, never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch off the
ignition using the key, or the START/
STOP button if your vehicle has
Keyless Entry and Starting.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to
be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may result in an inrush of
air. This vacuum is entirely normal and results
from the sealing of the fuel system.
Until sufficient fuel has been added, every time
the ignition is switched on, this warning lamp
appears, accompanied by an audible signal
and an alert message. When driving, this
audible signal and alert message are repeated
with increasing frequency, as the level drops
towards 0.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out.

Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Engine oil level
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two services (or oil changes). CITROËN
recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles so equipped, or
using the dipstick.
Take care when working under the
bonnet, as certain areas of the engine
may be extremely hot (risk of burns)
and the cooling fan could start at any
time (even with the ignition off).
The location of the dipstick is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.

for more than 30 minutes.
Oil grade
Before topping up the oil or changing the oil,
check that the oil is the correct grade for your
engine and conforms to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Checking using the dipstick
F Refit the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to make the visual check:
the correct level is between the marks A
and B .
