Deactivation/Reactivation
In this case, this indicator lamp
flashes for a few seconds then goes
of f.
This operation is perfectly normal.
In certain circumstances, such as the need
to maintain the temperature in the passenger
compartment, it may be useful to deactivate the
Stop & Start system.
The system can be deactivated at any time,
once the ignition is switched on.
If the engine is in STOP mode, it then restarts.
The Stop & Start system is reactivated
automatically every time the ignition is switched
on.
With/Without audio system
F Press this button.
Deactivation is confirmed by illumination of the

Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid any risk of injury resulting from an
automatic change to START mode.
Driving on flooded roads
Before driving in a flooded area, it is
strongly recommended that you deactivate
the Stop & Start system.
For more information on Driving
recommendations , particularly on
flooded roads, refer to the corresponding
section. If a fault occurs in STOP mode, the engine may
stall.
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come on.It is then necessary to switch off the ignition
and start the engine again.
The Stop & Start system requires a
12
V battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work on this type of battery must be
carried out only by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
For more information on the 12
V batter y,
refer to the corresponding section.
Malfunction
In the event of a fault with the system, the
button’s indicator lamp flashes for a few

programmed by the driver. The minimum programmed speed is 20
mph
(30 km/h).

memory when the ignition is switched off.
The speed limiter is a driving aid that
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the
need to obser ve speed limits or the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver.

Temporarily exceeding the
speed setting
F Press firmly on the accelerator pedal,
going beyond the point of resistance, to
exceed the programmed speed limit.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the displayed programmed speed flashes.
On a steep descent or in the event of
sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
When the limit speed is exceeded but this is not
due to action by the driver, there is an audible
signal to complete the alert.
Once the speed of the vehicle returns to
the programmed setting, the speed limiter
functions again: the display of the programmed
speed setting becomes steady again.
Switching off
F Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the 0 position: the display of information about the speed
limiter disappears. Flashing dashes indicate a fault with the speed
limiter.
Have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with the operation
of the speed limiter.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
-
e
nsure that the mat is positioned
c o r r e c t l y,
-
d
o not fit one mat on top of another.

Cruise control
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 is switched on

manually.
It requires a minimum vehicle speed of
25 mph (40 km/h) as well as:
-
w
ith a manual gearbox, the
engagement of third gear or higher,
-
w
ith an automatic gearbox, the
engagement of the selector in mode D
or of second gear or higher in mode M .
The cruise control is paused manually or by
pressing the brake or clutch pedal or if the ESC
system is invoked for safety reasons.
Once switched on, you can pause the cruise
control at any time by pressing button 4 : the
screen confirms the pause.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed setting.
The cruise control system is a driving aid
that cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need to obser ve speed limits, nor the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
As a safety measure, you are advised to
keep your feet near the pedals at all times.

The screen is divided into two parts: on the
left, a contextual view; on the right, a view from
above the vehicle in its close surroundings.
The parking sensors supplement the
information on the view from above the vehicle.
Different contextual views can be displayed in
the left-hand part:
-
s
tandard view,
-

1
80° view,
-

z
oom view. AUTO mode is activated by default.
In this mode, the system chooses the best view
to display (standard or zoom) according to the
information from the parking sensors.
You can change the type of view at any time
during a manoeuvre.
Principle of operation
Using the rear camera, the near surroundings
of the vehicle are recorded whilst manoeuvring
at low speed. An image from above your vehicle in its close
surroundings is reconstructed (represented
between the blue brackets) in real time and as
the manoeuvre progresses.
This representation facilitates the alignment of
your vehicle when parking and allows obstacles
close to the vehicle to be seen.
This image is automatically deleted if the
vehicle remains stationary for too long.
This system is a visual aid that cannot in
any circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The images provided by the camera may
be distorted by the relief.
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and
with lower contrast.

AUTO mode
This mode is activated by default. Using sensors in the rear bumper, the
automatic view changes from a rear view to a
view from above, as an obstacle is approached
at the level of the red line (less than 30
cm)
during a manoeuvre.
Standard view
The area behind the vehicle is displayed on the
screen.
The blue lines represent the width of your
vehicle with the mirrors unfolded; the direction
changes with the position of the steering wheel.
The red line represents a distance of 30
cm
from the rear bumper, the two blue lines 1
m
and 2
m respectively.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the
view selection menu.
