If the ambient light level is very low and the
traffic conditions permit:
If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
Flashing the headlamps again pauses the
function and the system changes to "automatic
illumination of headlamps" mode.
The function is disabled automatically below
9
mph (15 km/h).
If main beam is nevertheless necessary, flash
the headlamps again; main beam will then
remain on until the vehicle reaches a
speed of
25
mph (40 km/h).
Above 25
mph (40 km/h), the function is
reactivated automatically (provided that the
headlamps have not been flashed again in the
meantime, to change to dipped beam).
Deactivation
F Turn the lighting control stalk ring to the " Dipped beam "
position. The system may suffer inter ference or not
work correctly:
-
u
nder conditions of poor visibility
(falling snow, heavy rain or thick fog,
e t c .),
-
i
f the windscreen in front of the
camera is dirty, misted or obscured (by
a sticker, etc.),
-
i
f the vehicle is facing highly reflective
signs.
The system is not able to detect:
-
r
oad users that do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians,
-
v
ehicles whose lighting is obscured,
such as when driving behind a safety
barrier on a motor way, for example,
-
v
ehicles at the top or bottom of
a steep slope, on winding roads, on
crossroads.
Parking lamps
This system enables you to leave the lamps on
when parked; with the ignition off, key in the
STOP position or key removed.
This indicator lamp comes on in
the instrument panel.
The lamps will remain on while you
are parked.
Leaving the lighting on for long periods

In low temperatures
In mountainous and/or cold areas, it is
advisable to use a "winter" type fuel suited
to low or minus temperatures.
Battery standby system
If the vehicle is not to be used for a prolonged
p eriod, such as for winter storage, for example,
it is strongly recommended that the battery
be placed on standby in order to protect it and
optimise its ser vice life.
When the battery is on standby, access to
the vehicle is only possible by unlocking
the vehicle using the key in the lock barrel
in the driver's door.
After the battery is switched off, the
information (time, date, radio stations,
etc.) is stored.
To take the battery out of standby:
F
T
urn the key to the MAR position.
F
S
tart the engine normally (AV V position).
To place the battery on standby:
F
S
witch off the engine ( STOP position). F
P
ress the red button, then turn the key to
the B AT T position.
The battery goes into standby about 7 minutes
later.
This time is necessary to:
-
A
llow the user to get out of the vehicle and
lock the doors with the remote control.
-
E
nsure that all of the vehicle's electrical
systems are deactivated.
Parking brake
Applying
F Pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise your vehicle.
F
C
heck that the parking brake is applied
firmly before leaving the vehicle.
There is no advantage in engaging a
gear after
parking the vehicle, particularly if the vehicle is
loaded.
When parking on a
slope, turn your
wheels towards the kerb and pull the
parking brake lever up.
In the exceptional case of use of the
parking brake when the vehicle is moving,
apply the brake by pulling gently to avoid
locking the rear wheels (risk of skidding).

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 wish to move off.
Restart is instantaneous, quick and silent.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions and offers the comfort of complete
silence when stationary.
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 exceeded
a
speed of about 6 mph (10 km/h), to avoid
repeated stopping of the engine when
driving slowly. Never leave your vehicle before turning off
the ignition with the key.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
using the key.
Special cases: STOP mode
not available
STOP mode is not triggered when:
-
t he system is initialising,
-
t
he driver's door is open,
-
t
he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-
t
he air conditioning is on,
-
t
he rear screen demisting is on,
-
t
he windscreen wipers are on fast wipe,
-
r
everse gear is engaged for a parking
manoeuvre,
-
s
ome special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, particle filter
regeneration, braking assistance, exterior
temperature, etc.) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a
system.-
d
uring intensive use of Stop & Start, it
may be deactivated to conser ve starting
ability; go to a CITROËN dealer to have the
function reactivated.
This indicator lamp in the instrument
panel flashes for a few seconds,
then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Going into engine START
mode
With the vehicle in gear, automatic engine
restarting is only allowed by fully depressing
the clutch pedal.
This indicator lamp goes off and the
engine restarts.
If the driver takes no action on the vehicle for
3
minutes after an automatic restart in START
mode, the system stops the engine definitively.
The engine can then only be restarted using
t h e key.

is needed to control a
system or the vehicle.
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.
This operation is perfectly normal. While in STOP mode with a
manual
gearbox, 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.
With the engine stopped in STOP
mode, if the driver unfastens 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.
Deactivation
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 button indicator lamp remains on.
F
P
ress this button at any time to deactivate
the system.
Illumination of the button indicator lamp,
accompanied by a message in the instrument
panel screen, confirms that the instruction has
