HILL START ASSIST

Operation

This system (also called HHC - Hill

Holder Control), linked to the dynamic

stability control system, makes hill

starts easier and is activated in the

following conditions:

With the brake pedal and clutch pedal

pressed, from the time you release

the brake pedal, without using the

parking brake, you have approximately

2 seconds to move off before the

vehicle starts to roll back.

During the moving off phase, the

function is deactivated automatically,

gradually releasing the braking

pressure. During this phase, the

characteristic noise of mechanical

release of the brakes may be heard,

indicating the imminent movement of

the vehicle.

Hill start assist is deactivated in the

following situations:

-

when the clutch pedal is released,

when the parking brake is applied,

when the engine is switched off,

when the engine stalls.

-

the vehicle must be stationary,

engine running, foot on the brake,

the gradient of the road must be

steeper than 5%,

uphill, the gearbox must be in

neutral or in a gear other than

reverse,

DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS

Observe the driving regulations and

remain vigilant whatever the trafﬁc

conditions.

Pay close attention to the trafﬁc and

keep your hands on the wheel so that

you are ready to react at any time to

any eventuality.

If you are obliged to drive through

water:

Important!

Never drive with the parking brake

applied - Risk of overheating and

damage to the braking system!

Risk of ﬁre!

As the exhaust system of your vehicle

is very hot, even several minutes

after switching off the engine, do not

park or leave the engine running over

areas where inﬂammable substances

and materials are present: grass,

leaves, etc.

As a safety precaution, the driver

must only carry out actions requiring

sustained attention when the vehicle is

stationary.

On a long journey, a break every

two hours is strongly recommended.

In difﬁcult weather, drive smoothly,

anticipate the need to brake and

increase the distance from other

vehicles.

-

check that the depth of water does

not exceed 15 cm, taking account

of waves that might be generated

by other users,

-

deactivate the Stop & Start system,

drive as slowly as possible without

stalling. In all cases, do not exceed

6 mph (10 km/h),

do not stop and do not switch off

the engine.

Never leave a vehicle

running. If you have to leave

We strongly advise against driving

on ﬂooded roads, as this could cause

serious damage to the engine or

gearbox, as well as to the electrical

systems of your vehicle.

your vehicle with the engine running,

apply the parking brake and put the

gearbox into neutral or position N or P,

depending on the type of gearbox.

-

On leaving the ﬂooded road, as soon

as circumstances allow, make several

light brake applications to dry the brake

discs and pads.

If in doubt on the state of your vehicle,

contact a CITROËN dealer or a

qualiﬁed workshop.

Good practice

When changing the programmed

speed setting by means of a

maintained press, pay attention as

the speed can increase or decrease

rapidly.

Do not use the cruise control on

slippery roads or in heavy trafﬁc.

In the event of a steep slope, the cruise

control cannot prevent the vehicle from

exceeding the programmed speed

setting.

In any event, the cruise control cannot

replace the need to observe the speed

limits and the need for vigilance on the

part of the driver.

Switching the system off

Changing the

programmed speed

-

Place the dial in position 0 or switch

off the ignition to switch everything

off.

There are two methods of memorising

a speed higher than the previous one:

Cancelling the programmed

speed setting

It is advisable to keep your feet near

the pedals.

Without using the accelerator

Press the SET + button.

A brief press increases the speed by 1 mph (km/h).

A maintained press increases the speed in

steps of 5 mph (km/h).

To avoid any jamming under the

pedals:

When the vehicle becomes stationary,

after switching off the ignition, the

system no longer memorises a speed.

-

ensure that the mat and its ﬁxings

on the ﬂoor are positioned correctly,

never place one mat on top of

another.

Using the accelerator

-

Exceed the memorised speed until

the speed required is reached,

Press the SET + or SET - button.

-

To memorise a speed lower than the

previous one:

Press the SET - button.

A brief press decreases the speed by

1 mph (km/h).

The programmed speed setting is

cleared and replaced by three dashes.

GOOD PRACTICE

Air conditioning

In all seasons, the air conditioning

should only be used with the

Vents

windows closed. However, if the

interior temperature remains high

after a prolonged period parked in

the sun, ﬁrst ventilate the passenger

compartment for a few minutes.

Use the AUTO mode as much as

possible as it permits optimised

control of all of the functions: air ﬂow,

passenger compartment comfort

temperature, air distribution, air

intake mode or air recirculation in the

passenger compartment.

Operate the air conditioning system for

5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,

to keep it in good working order.

If the system does not produce cold air,

do not use it and contact a CITROËN

dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop.

"Leave them open"

For optimum distribution and diffusion

of hot or cool air in the passenger

compartment, there are adjustable

central and side vents which can

be directed sideways (right or left)

or vertically (up or down). For your

comfort while driving, do not close

them and direct the ﬂow of air towards

the windows instead.

Air vents in the footwells and directed

towards the windscreen complete the

equipment.

Do not block the vents located at the

windscreen or the air extractor located

in the boot.

DEMISTING AND DEFROSTING

It is normal that the condensation

created by the air conditioning system

results in a ﬂow of water which may

form a puddle under the vehicle when

parked.

The comfort programme (AUTO) may

In this case, select the visibility

This ﬁlter traps certain dust and limits

odours.

Ensure that this ﬁlter is in good

condition and have all of the ﬁlter

elements replaced regularly.
