After a few seconds, the display returns to
its usual functions.
Engine oil condition
If in doubt, check the level with the dipstick. This 2nd warning lamp, coupled with
the 1st, comes on in the instrument
panel when the oil has not been
changed and the deterioration of
the oil has reached another threshold. If this
warning comes on at regular intervals, have the
oil changed as soon as possible. The warning lamp flashing and,
if your vehicle has the function,
a message displayed at every
engine start: the system has
detected deterioration of the engine oil.
Have the oil changed as soon as possible.
For 3.0 litre HDi engines, the engine
speed is restricted to 3 000 rpm, then
1 500 rpm until the oil change is done.
Have the engine oil changed to avoid
any risk of damage.
Servicing information
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner symbolising service
information comes on: the screen informs you
when the next service is due, in accordance
with the servicing schedule indicated in
themanufacturer's service schedule. Depending on the engine, the engine oil
level then appears, graduated from 1 (Min)
to 5 (Max).
If no graduation is displayed, the oil level is
too low; you must top-up to avoid damaging
the engine.
For the oil level reading to be accurate, the
vehicle must be parked on level ground, with
the engine off for more than 30 minutes.
Refer to the "Checks - Levels and
checks" section.
This information is determined in relation
to the distance travelled since the previous
service.

In low temperatures
In mountainous and/or cold areas, it is
advisable to use a "winter" type fuel suited
to low or minus temperatures.
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the
key or the remote control, which would
weigh down on its blade in the ignition
switch and could cause a malfunction.

the front airbag. With the engine hot, the warning lamp
comes on for a few moments, you can start
the engine without waiting.

the key.
Starting and switching off

43The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - ST OP 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.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions and offers the comfort of
complete silence when stationary.

This indicator lamp in the
instrument panel flashes for a
few seconds, then goes off.

A
rt invoked automatically
The START mode may be invoked
automatically in the following circumstances:
-
the vehicle is free wheeling on a

gradient,
-
the windscreen wiper is on fast wipe,
-

the air conditioning is running,
-

the engine has been stopped for around

3 minutes with Stop & Start,
-
some special conditions (battery charge,

engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the
engine is needed to assure control of
a system.
In this case, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by this indicator
lamp, which flashes for a few
seconds, then goes off.
Good practice
With a manual gearbox in STOP mode, if a
gear is engaged without fully depressing the
clutch pedal, restarting may not take place.
An indicator lamp and/or message is
displayed in the instrument panel asking
you to fully depress the clutch pedal to allow
restarting.
t

his operation is perfectly normal. With the engine stopped in STOP
mode, if the driver unfasten's
their seat belt and opens a front
door, the engine can only be
restarted using the ignition key. There is
an audible signal, accompanied by flashing
of this indicator lamp and the display of a
message.
S
tOP
mode may be unavailable
STOP mode is not invoked in the following
circumstances:
-

the system is initialising,
-


the driver's door is open,
-


the driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-


the air conditioning is running,
-


the heated rear screen is on,
-


the windscreen wiper is on fast wipe,
-


reverse gear is engaged, for a parking


manoeuvre,
-

some special conditions (battery


charge, engine temperature, particle
filter regeneration, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the
engine is needed to assure control of
a

system,
-

in intensive use of Stop & Start, it may


be deactivated to conserve starting
ability; go to a CITROËN dealer to have
the function reactivated.

deactivation
At any time, press the "A - OFF" switch to
deactivate the system.
Illumination of the switch indicator lamp,

accompanied by a message in the
instrument panel screen, confirms that the
instruction has been registered.

continuous operation of the air conditioning.
The switch indicator lamp stays on.
reactivation
Press the "A - OFF" switch again.
The system is active again; the switch
indicator lamp going off and a message
in the instrument panel screen confirm
reactivation.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the
system, the Stop & Start system
is deactivated and this warning
lamp comes on, accompanied by
a message in the instrument panel
screen.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In the event of an operating fault with STOP
mode, it is possible to restart the engine by
depressing the clutch pedal fully and putting
the gear lever into neutral.
Maintenance
Before working under the bonnet, you
must switch off the ignition with the
key to avoid any risk of injury resulting from
automatic operation of START mode.
This system requires a specific battery
with a special specification and technology
(reference numbers available from a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by
CITROËN
introduces the risk of malfunction
of the system.
The Stop & Start system makes use
of advanced technology. Specialist
knowledge is needed for any work on the
system, which can only be assured by
CITROËN dealers. Refer to the "Quick help - Flat battery"
section.
