Wireless smartphone
charger
It allows the wireless charging of a portable
device, such as a smartphone, using the
principle of magnetic induction, based on the Qi
1.1 standard.
The portable device to be charged must be
compatible with the Qi standard, either by
design or by using a compatible holder or shell.
The charging zone is identified by the Qi
symbol.
Operation
The charger works with the engine running and
in STOP mode of Stop & Start.
Charging is managed by the smartphone.
For versions with
K
eyless Entry and Starting,
operation of the charger may be interrupted
when opening a door or switching off the
ignition.

The indicator lamp in the remote control
flashes for about 2 seconds if the vehicle
has not received the signal.
You should then move to a different
location and repeat the command.
Changing the battery
If the indicator lamp in the remote control becomes
orange, the state of charge of the battery is low.
If the indicator lamp is not on, the battery is
discharged.
F Use a coin to unscrew the cap and replace the battery.
The maximum heating period is about
45
minutes depending on the climatic
conditions. The additional heating system is powered
by the fuel in the vehicle's fuel tank.
Before use, ensure that there is enough
fuel in the tank.
If the tank level is on reser ve, the system
cannot be used.
The ventilation is activated provided that
the battery is sufficiently charged.
The heating is activated provided that:
-
t
he battery is sufficiently charged,
-
t
he fuel level is adequate,
-
t
he engine has been started since the
previous heating cycle. To avoid the risks of poisoning or
asphyxia, the programmable heating must
not be used, even for short periods, in a
closed environment such as a garage or
workshop which is not equipped with an
exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on a flammable
sur face (dry grass, dead leaves, paper,
etc.) – risk of fire!
Do not throw remote control batteries
away as they contain metals which are
harmful to the environment. Take them
to an approved collection point.
Always switch off the additional heating
while refuelling – risk of fire or explosion! Glazed sur faces such as the rear screen
or windscreen can become very hot in
places.
Never put objects on these sur faces;
never touch these sur faces – risk of burns!

Indicator lamp
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and in the control
lever to confirm the application of
the parking brake.
It goes off to confirm the release of the parking
brake.
This indicator lamp flashes on the control lever
when manual parking brake application or
release is performed.
In the event of a battery failure, the
electric parking brake no longer works.
As a safety measure with a manual
gearbox, if the parking brake is not
applied, immobilise the vehicle by
engaging a gear.
As a safety measure with an automatic
gearbox, if the parking brake is not
applied, immobilise the vehicle by placing
the chocks supplied against one of the
wheels.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. Before leaving the vehicle, check that the
parking brake is applied: the parking brake
indicator lamps in the instrument panel
and the control lever must be on fixed.
If the parking brake is not applied, there
is an audible signal and a message is
displayed on opening the driver's door.
Never leave a child alone inside the
vehicle with the ignition on, as they could
release the parking brake.

In all circumstances, ensure that the
selector is in position P before leaving
your vehicle.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen to indicate a
gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3
rd gear. You may feel
a substantial knock when changing from P
to R and from N to R. This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 62
mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
-
i
f you press the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time (braking or
acceleration must be done only with
the right foot),
-
i
f you force the selector from position P
to another position when the battery is
flat. To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffic jam, etc.), position
the selector on N and apply the parking
brake.
Gear efficiency indicator
(Depending on engine.)
This system reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one or more gears. You can
follow this indication without engaging the
intermediate gears.
Gear shift recommendations must not be
considered as compulsory. In fact, the road
layout, the traffic density and safety remain the
deciding factors when choosing the best gear.
The driver therefore remains responsible for
deciding whether or not to follow the indications
issued by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated. With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual operation.
The information appears in the
instrument panel, in the form of an
ascending or descending arrow and
the recommended gear.
The system adapts its gear shift
recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the
driver’s requirements (power, acceleration,
b r a k i n g , e t c .) .
The system never suggests:
-
e
ngaging first gear,
- enga ging reverse.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
t emporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in 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.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.

Going into engine STOP
mode
For your convenience during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available
for a few seconds after coming out of
reverse gear.
Stop & Start does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering, etc.
A slight delay between the vehicle
stopping and the engine cutting out may
be noticed.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Special cases: STOP mode
not available
In this case, this indicator lamp
flashes for a few seconds, then goes

Going into engine START
mode
With a manual gearbox, the Stop
& Start indicator lamp goes off in
the instrument panel and the engine
restarts automatically when you
press the clutch pedal fully down to

With an automatic gearbox , the Stop & Start
indicator lamp in the instrument panel goes off
and the engine restarts automatically when:
-
y
ou release the brake pedal with the gear
selector in position D or M ,
-
y
ou are in position N with the brake pedal
released and you move the gear selector to
position D or M,
-
y
ou engage reverse.
STOP mode is not activated with certain
temporary conditions (examples: battery
charge, engine temperature, braking
assistance, exterior temperature) to assure
correct operation of the system and mainly
when:
-
t
he vehicle is on a steep slope (rising or
falling),
-
t
he driver's door is open,
-
a s
liding side door is open,

comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment, This operation is perfectly normal. -

-
t
he exterior temperature is lower than about
0°C or higher than about 35°C.
When the vehicle speed is below 2 mph
( 3 km/h) or the vehicle is stationary
(depending on engine), this indicator lamp
comes on in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby automatically:
- With a manual gearbox , when you put the
gearbox into neutral and release the clutch
pedal.
-
W
ith an automatic gearbox , when you
press the brake pedal or put the gear
selector in position N . (minutes/seconds or hours/minutes)
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start, a time
counter adds up the time spent in STOP mode
during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on.
