Diesel vehicles
In temperatures below zero,
the engine will not start until
the preheater warning lamp has
gone off.
Starting the engine
The presence of the "Keyless Entry and
Starting" electronic key in the recognition zone
is essential.
It is not necessary to place the electronic key in
the back-up reader. If the electronic key is not detected,
a message is displayed. Move the
electronic key into the recognition zone
so that the engine can be started.
In the event of a problem, refer to the
section "Key not detected / Back-up
starting".F
B riefly press the "
S TA R T/
STOP " button while maintaining
pressure on the pedal until the
engine starts.
If one of the starting conditions is not
met, a reminder message appears in the
instrument panel screen.
In some circumstances, it is necessary
to turn the steering wheel slightly while
pressing the " START/STOP " button
to assist unlocking of the steering; a
message warns you when this is needed. As a safety measure, never leave the
vehicle while the engine is running.
The steering column unlocks and the engine
starts more or less instantly.
See the advice below for Diesel versions.
If this warning lamp comes on after
pressing "START/STOP ", you should
hold the brake or clutch pedal down
until the warning lamp goes off and do
not press the " START/STOP" button
again before the engine starts.

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.). 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

panel and the engine goes into standby
automatically.

ith a manual gearbox, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), or vehicle stationary
(with PureTech 130, THP 165 and
BlueHDi
100, 115 and 120 versions), when
you place the gear lever in neutral, and you
release the clutch pedal,
-

Wi
th an automatic gearbox, with the
vehicle stationary, when you press the
brake pedal or place the gear selector lever
at position N .
If your vehicle is fitted with the system, a time
counter calculates the sum of the periods in
STOP mode during a journey. It resets itself to
zero every time the ignition is switched on with
the START/STOP button. Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the START/STOP button. For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
The Stop & Start system does not affect
the 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
the START/STOP button,
-

t
he electric parking brake is applied or
being applied,
-

t
he engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
-

d
emisting is selected,
-

s
ome special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
exterior temperature, etc.) where the
engine is needed for 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.

Active Safety Brake
This function, also called automatic emergency
braking, aims to reduce the speed of impact or
avoid a frontal collision by your vehicle where
the driver fails to react.
Using a radar and a camera, this function acts
on the vehicle's braking system.Operation of the function may be felt by
slight vibration in the brake pedal.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
the automatic braking is maintained
for
1 to 2 seconds.
With a manual gearbox, in the event
of the automatic emergency braking
bringing the vehicle to a complete stop,
the engine may stall.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event
of the automatic emergency braking
bringing the vehicle to a complete stop,
keep the brake pedal pressed to stop
the vehicle moving off again.
If the radar and the camera have
confirmed the presence of a vehicle
or a pedestrian, this warning lamp
flashes once the function is acting on
the vehicle's brakes.
Important
: if operation of the
automatic emergency braking is
triggered, you should take back
control of your vehicle and brake
with the pedal to add to or finish the
automatic braking action.
The driver can take back control of the vehicle
at any time by sharply turning the steering
wheel and/or pressing the accelerator pedal.
The triggering of the braking may be
adjusted according to the driver's
driving actions (such as steering wheel
movements, actions on the accelerator
pedal, etc.).

-

u
nfavourable weather conditions,
-

d
riving on slippery sur faces (ice).
The system is not designed for the following
driving situations:
-

d
riving on a speed circuit,
-

d
riving with a trailer,
-

d
riving on a rolling road,
-

d
riving on unstable sur faces.
In the event of a fault with the system, you are
alerted by the illumination of these warning
lamps in the instrument panel, accompanied by
the display of a message and an audible signal.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
When this warning lamp comes on,
coupled with the STOP and ABS warning
lamps, accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, it indicates that there
is a fault with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD).
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
The fixed illumination of this warning
lamp indicates that there is a fault
with the ABS. Depending on version, your vehicle has a
system to help driving on snow: intelligent
traction control
.
This system detects situations of difficult
sur face grip that could make it difficult to move
off or make progress on deep fresh snow or
compacted snow.
In these situations, the intelligent traction
control limits the amount of wheel spin to
provide the best traction and trajectory control
for your vehicle.
The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on sur faces offering low levels
of adhesion.
When changing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that these are approved
for your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.
In emergency braking, press ver y
firmly and maintain this pressure.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible. The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at moderate speed.

Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to have
the condition of the brakes checked,
even between vehicle services.
Brake pads
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Brake disc wear
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
units as important as those in the
braking system, CITROËN selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness,
or in wintry conditions, ice can form
on the brake discs and pads: braking
efficiency may be reduced. Make light
brake applications to dry and defrost
the brakes.
Electric parking brake
For more information, refer to the "Electric
parking brake - Operating faults " section.
This system does not require any
routine servicing. However, in the
event of a problem, have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service
schedule for the checking interval for
this component.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service
schedule for details of the level
checking interval for this component.
To avoid damaging the electrical units,
never use a high pressure jet wash in
the engine compartment.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.

The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced by 10 % for
each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
When towing, the speed must never exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High exterior temperatures may result in a reduction in the per formance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the exterior temperature is above 37 °C,
limit the towed load.
