Stop & Start
Going into engine STOP mode
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition. For your comfort, during parking
maoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
Stop & Start does not affect the
operation of vehicle systems such as
braking, power steering, etc.
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 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.
With a manual gearbox
, vehicle
stationary, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel
and the engine goes into standby
automatically when you place the
gear lever in neutral and you release
the clutch pedal.
With an automatic gearbox ,
vehicle stationary, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel
and the engine goes into standby
automatically when you press
the brake pedal or place the gear
selector in position N .
Stop & Star t time counter
(minutes / seconds or hours / minutes) A time counter calculates the time
spent in STOP mode during a
j o u r n ey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on.

Cruise control
System which automatically maintains the cruising speed of the vehicle at a setting programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator
pedal.
The cruise control system is a driving aid
that cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need to observe 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.

Displays in the instrument panelThe 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 gear
selector in D mode or second gear
or higher in M mode.
Speed regulation remains active after
changing gear on vehicles fitted with a
manual gearbox and Stop & Start.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed setting.
The operation of the cruise control can be
interrupted (pause):
-
b
y pressing control 4 or by pressing the
brake pedal,
-
a

Operating fault
Flashing dashes indicate a fault with the cruise
control system.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.Only use the cruise control if the traffic
conditions will allow you to drive for a
certain time at a steady speed and at a
safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
Do not activate the cruise control in
urban areas, in heavy traffic, on winding
or steep roads, on slippery or flooded
roads, or in conditions of poor visibility
(heavy rain, fog, falling snow, etc.).
In some circumstances, it may not be
possible to maintain or reach the cruise
speed set: towing, vehicle heavily
loaded, steep climb, etc.The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with the
operation of the cruise control.
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,
-
n
ever fit one mat on top of another.

Fatigue detection system
As soon as the speed of the vehicle
drops below 40 mph (65 km/h), the
system goes into standby.
The driving time is counted again once
the speed is above 40 mph (65 km/h).
It is recommended that you take a break as soon as you feel tired or at least every two hours.
The system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
Do not take the wheel if you are tired.
Driving time warning
The system triggers an alert once it detects that
the driver has not taken a break after two hours
of driving at a speed above 40 mph (65 km/h).
This alert takes the form of the display of a
message encouraging you to take a break,
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the
alert is repeated hourly until the vehicle is
stopped. The system resets itself if one of the following
conditions is met:
-
e
ngine running, the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 15 minutes,
-
t
he ignition has been switched off for a
few
m
inutes,
-
t
he driver's seat belt is unfastened and
their door is open.
Activation / Deactivation
The system is activated or deactivated via the
vehicle configuration menu.
For more information on the menu, refer to the
part covering your screen in the "Dashboard
instruments" section.
The state of the system stays in memory when
the ignition is switched off.

emove the clamp B by lifting it off. The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be
available again after a continuous
period of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a period which depends on the exterior
temperature and the state of charge of
the battery (up to about 8 hours).
In order to maintain an adequate state
of charge for starting the engine, it is
recommended that the battery be disconnected
if the vehicle is taken out of service for a long
period.
Before disconnecting the battery:
F
c
lose all openings (doors, boot, windows),
F
s
witch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, wipers, lighting, etc.),
F

At the battery, it is only necessary to
disconnect the (+) terminal.
Disconnecting the battery
After reconnecting the battery, switch on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting to
allow initialisation of the electronic systems.
However, if minor problems persist following
this operation, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you
must yourself initialise or reset certain systems,
such as:
-
t
he remote control or electronic key
(depending on version),
-
t
he electric windows,
-
t
he date and time,
-
