To change gear easily, always depress the
clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedal:
-
ensure that the mat is positioned

correctly,
-

never fit one mat on top of another
.
Avoid leaving your hand on the gear knob as
the force exerted, even if slight, may wear
the internal components of the gearbox over
time.

everse gear
Raise the collar under the gear knob to
engage reverse gear. Never engage reverse gear before the
vehicle is completely stationary.
The lever should be moved slowly to reduce
the noise on engaging reverse gear.
If your vehicle is fitted with parking
sensors, the system comes into
operation when reverse gear is engaged; an
audible signal is heard.
Refer to the "Technology on board -
Parking sensors" section.
GEAr EFFIcIEncY IndIcAtO r
Depending on the engine or version, this
system allows fuel consumption to be
reduced by suggesting when to change up.
The gear engagement recommendations should
not be considered to be compulsory. This
because the configuration of the road, the traffic
density and safety remain determining factors
when choosing the best gear. Therefore, the
driver remains responsible for deciding whether
or not to follow the advice given by the system.
The system never recommends engaging
first gear or reverse, or changing down.

HILL StA rt ASSIS t
This system (also called HHC - Hill Holder
Control), linked to the dynamic stability
control system, makes hill starts easier and
is activated in the following conditions:
-

the vehicle must be stationary
, engine
running, foot on the brake,
-

the gradient of the road must be steeper

than 5%,
-

uphill, the gearbox must be in neutral or

in a gear other than reverse,
-

downhill, reverse gear must be engaged.
The Hill Start

Assist system is a driving
aid. It is not an automatic vehicle parking
function or an automatic parking brake.Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal
pressed, from the time you release the brake
pedal, without using the parking brake, you
have approximately 2 seconds to move off
before the vehicle starts to roll back.
During the moving off phase, the function
is deactivated automatically, gradually
releasing the braking pressure. During
this phase, the characteristic noise of
mechanical release of the brakes may be
heard, indicating the imminent movement of
the vehicle.
Operating fault
If a malfunction of the system
occurs, this warning lamp comes
on accompanied by an audible
signal and confirmed by a message
in the screen. Have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. Hill start assist is deactivated in the following
situations:
-

when the clutch pedal is released,
-


when the parking brake is applied,
-


when the engine is switched of
f,
-

when the engine stalls.
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.
StOP & StA rt
Operation
Going into engine StOP mode
With the vehicle stationary, put the gear
lever into neutral, then release the clutch
pedal.
-

This indicator lamp comes on

in the instrument panel and
the engine goes into standby. Automatic stopping of the engine is
only possible after the vehicle has
exceed a speed of about 6 mph (10 km/h),
to avoid repeated stopping of the engine
when driving slowly.
Never leave your vehicle with out first
turning off the ignition with the key. Never refuel with the engine in ST OP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key. Going into engine S
t
A
rt mode
-
This indicator lamp goes of
f
and the engine restarts.
If following an automatic restart in START
mode, the driver takes no action on the
vehicle during the next 3 minutes, the
system stops the engine definitively. The
engine can then only be restarted using
the key.
With the vehicle in gear, automatic engine
restarting is only allowed by fully depressing
the clutch pedal.

44Special cases
This indicator lamp in the
instrument panel flashes for a
few seconds, then goes off.
t

his operation is perfectly normal. S
t
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.
Starting and switching off

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.
If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately.
It is necessary to deactivate the Stop
&
Start system if you want to allow
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.
