Electric parking brake
The technology adopted for the electric
parking brake does not allow the fitment of
15-inch wheels.
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.
The indicator lamp in the control lever flashes
during manual application or release.
After applying the parking brake, the
simultaneous flashing of the indicator lamps
in the instrument panel and in the control lever
warns you to secure the immobilisation of the
vehicle by engaging a
gear (with a manual
gearbox or by placing the selector at position
P with an automatic gearbox or by placing
a chock against one of the wheels (e.g. parking
on a very steep slope or a steep slope with
a weak battery).
In the event of a battery failure, the
electric parking brake no longer works.
As a safety measure, if the parking brake
is not applied, immobilise the vehicle by
engaging a

gear (with a

manual gearbox)
or placing a chock against one of the
wheels.
Call a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The system provides, in automatic operation,
the application of the parking brake on
switching off the engine and release as the
vehicle moves off.
The driver can take over at any time to apply
or release the parking brake, by operating the
control lever:
-

b

y briefly pulling
the control lever to apply
the brake,
-

b

y briefly pushing
the control lever, while
pressing the brake pedal, to release it.
Automatic mode is activated by default.

The information appears in the
instrument panel in the form of an
ar row.
With a
manual gearbox, the arrow may be
accompanied by the gear recommended.
This arrow may be pointing up or down,
depending on the context.
The system adapts its gear efficiency
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 gear.
Stop & Start
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or
other, etc.). The engine restarts automatically –
START mode – as soon as you wish to move off
again.
Restarting occurs instantaneously, quickly and
silently.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically.

12

mph (20 km/h), or with the vehicle

versions), when you place
the gear lever in neutral and you release the
clutch pedal,

ith an automatic gearbox , at speeds
below 2
mph (3 km/h), or when the vehicle
is stationary (depending on version), when
you press the brake pedal or place the gear
selector into position N .
If your vehicle is fitted with this system, a time
counter calculates the sum of the periods in
STOP mode during a
journey. It resets to zero
every time the ignition is switched on with the
"START/STOP" button. For your convenience, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available
for a
few seconds after coming out of
reverse gear.
The Stop & Start system does not modify
the vehicle's functions, such as, for
example, braking, power steering, etc.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition with
the "START/STOP" button.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:
- t he driver's door is open,
-

t
he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-

t

(10

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
If a
fault occurs in STOP mode, the engine may
stall.
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come
on.
Depending on version, an alert message may also
be displayed, asking you to place the gear lever in
position N and press the brake pedal.
It is then necessary to switch off the ignition and
start the engine again using the "START/STOP"
button.
The Stop & Start requires the use of
a 12 V battery of special specification and
technology.
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.
Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid
the risk of injury related to 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 advice ,
particularly on flooded roads, refer to the
corresponding section.
Tyre under-inflation
detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressure of the four
tyres when the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised after ever y tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change .
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a
drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres. The under-inflation detection system does
not replace the need for vigilance on the
part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a


long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres worsens
road-holding, lengthens braking distances,
causes premature wear of the tyres,
particularly in adverse conditions (heavy
loads, high speeds, long journeys).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section.
