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

This indicator lamp comes on in the instrument
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.

Operating fault
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
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 place the gear selector
lever at position N and put your foot on the brake
pedal.
It is then necessary to switch off the ignition and
start the engine again using the "START/STOP"
button.
In the event of a fault with the system,
this indicator lamp flashes for a few
moments then comes on continuously,
accompanied by a message.
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 START
mode.
Driving on flooded roads
Before driving through a flooded road,
it is strongly recommended that you
deactivate the Stop & Start system.
For more information on Driving
advice
, particularly on flooded roads,
refer to the corresponding section. The Stop & Start system requires a
battery of advanced technology and
special characteristics.
All work on this type of battery must
only be done by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
For more information on the 12 V
battery
, refer to the corresponding
section.

Cruise control - "CRUISE"
System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control system cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to observe speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
You are advised to keep your feet near the pedals at all times.
S
witching on the cruise control requires a
minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h).
As well as engagement of:
-

-

s

an automatic gearbox,
-

position
D on an automatic gearbox.
The system remains active after changing gear
on vehicles with a manual gearbox and Stop &
Start.
The cruise control is paused by pressing
button 4 or the brake pedal or on triggering of
the ESC system for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal until the

The dynamic cruise control is switched on
manually: it requires that the speed of the
vehicle be between 25 and 90 mph (40 and
150
km/h), as well as the engagement of:
-

f
ourth gear or higher with a manual
gearbox,
-

s
econd gear or higher with an automatic
gearbox in manual mode,
-
position D with an automatic gearbox.
The system remains active after changing gear
on vehicles with a manual gearbox and Stop &
Start.
General points
The dynamic cruise control can be paused
manually or automatically:
-

b
y pressing button 4 ,
-

b
y pressing the brake pedal,
-

i
n the event of operation of the ESC, for
safety reasons,
-

i
n the event of operation of the electric
parking brake control lever,
-

w
hen an inter-vehicle time threshold is
reached (calculated according to the
relative speeds of your vehicle and the
vehicle in front and the inter-vehicle time
setting chosen),
-

w
hen the distance between your vehicle
and the one in front becomes too small,
-

w
hen the speed of the vehicle in front is
too


low,
-

w
hen the speed of your vehicle becomes
too low.
The dynamic cruise control cannot in any
circumstances replace the observation
of speed limits, nor the need for vigilance
on the part of the driver.
It is recommended that you always keep
your feet close to the pedals. If the speed setting selected is above
90 mph (150 km/h), the system switches
to standard cruise control operation,
with no adjustment of the inter-vehicle
safe distance (a message appears in
the instrument panel). The inter-vehicle time setting is kept in
memory on switching off the ignition.
The dynamic cruise control operates by
day and at night, in fog or in moderate
rainfall.
The system does not act on the braking
system, but works only with engine braking.
The regulation range is limited: there will
no longer be any adjustment of speed if the
difference between the programmed speed
setting and the speed of the vehicle in front
becomes too high (18 mph (30 km/h)).
If the difference between the
programmed speed setting and the
speed of the vehicle in front is too
great, the speed cannot be adjusted:
the cruise control is automatically
deactivated.

Switching on
The cruise control is switched on manually,
it requires a vehicle speed of between 18 and
112
mph (30 and 180 km/h).
An automatic gearbox must be in position D
or M . Other wise, the last setting made will be used
when switching on the system.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed setting.
When the cruise control is operating,
Stop & Start is automatically
deactivated.
Pause
The dynamic cruise control can be paused
manually by:
-

a
ction by the driver:
●

o
n button 4 ,
●

o
n the brake pedal,
●

o
n the electric parking brake control,
●

w
hen changing from D to N with an
automatic gearbox.
-

o
r automatically, if operation of the ESC
system is triggered for reasons of safety.
Following braking of the vehicle
bringing it to a complete stop, the
system holds the vehicle stationary;
the cruise control is paused. The driver
should press the accelerator pedal to
move off, then reactivate the system
by exceeding 18
mph (30 km/h) and
pressing button
2, 3 or 4 .
If the driver takes no action following
this immobilisation, the electric parking
brake is applied automatically after a
few minutes.

A label on the inside of the fuel filler flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to use,
depending on your engine type.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to
be registered by the fuel gauge.
When it first comes on, about 6 litres of fuel
remain in the tank.
Until sufficient fuel has been added, this
warning lamp appears every time the ignition
is switched on, accompanied by an audible
warning and a message. This audible warning
and message are repeated with increasing
frequency as the fuel level drops towards "
0".
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out.
Opening the filler flap may result in an inrush of
air. This is entirely normal and results from the
sealing of the fuel system.

Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept
for at least a year.
If the additive has frozen, it can be used once it
has completely thawed out.
Procedure
Before topping-up, ensure that the vehicle is
parked on a flat and level sur face.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the
temperature of the vehicle is above -11°C.
Other wise, by freezing, the AdBlue
