Get Driving -> Stop & Start (Petrol or Diesel) Guide for Citroen Berlingo SUV Third Generation (2018-2025)

Driving

2.Pressing the control displays the modes on the

instrument panel.

With an electric motor, when starting the vehicle,

no mode can be selected until the READY

indicator lamp is displayed.

D, gradually releasing the accelerator pedal

fully allows free-wheeling which can save fuel.

A drop in engine speed is normal (rev counter

at idle, drop in engine noise).

The system adapts the gear change

instructions according to the driving

conditions (e.g. slope, load) and driving style

(e.g. power demand, acceleration, braking).

The system never suggests:

When the message disappears, the selected

mode is activated and remains indicated on the

instrument panel (except Normal mode).

Whenever the ignition is switched on,

Normal driving mode is selected by default.

– engaging ﬁrst gear;

– engaging reverse gear.

Gear shift indicator

(Depending on engine)

This system is designed to reduce fuel

consumption by recommending the most suitable

gear.

Stop & Start (Petrol or

Diesel)

Normal

To restore the default settings.

The Stop & Start function puts the engine

temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during

phases when the vehicle is stationary (e.g. red

lights, traﬃc jams). The engine automatically

restarts - START mode - as soon as the driver

indicates the intention of moving oﬀ again.

Primarily designed for urban use, the function

is intended to reduce fuel consumption and

exhaust emissions as well as the noise level

when stationary.

Operation

Eco

Depending on the driving situation and

the vehicle's equipment, the system may

recommend skipping one or more gears.

Gear engagement recommendations are

not to be considered mandatory. Indeed, the

conﬁguration of the road, the traﬃc density and

safety remain determining factors when choosing

the best gear. Therefore, the driver remains

responsible for deciding whether or not to follow

the system’s advice.

To reduce energy consumption by reducing the

performance of the heating and air conditioning,

without deactivating them.

To reduce consumption of the traction battery's

electrical energy by limiting engine torque.

Power (Electric)

Allows a fully laden vehicle (GVW) to obtain

equivalent performance to that of an unladen

vehicle in Normal mode.

The function does not aﬀect the functionalities of

the vehicle, in particular the braking.

The system cannot be deactivated.

All modes are displayed on the

instrument panel, except for Normal

mode.

Opening the bonnet

With an automatic gearbox, the system is

only active in manual operation.

Before doing anything under the bonnet,

deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid

any risk of injury caused by the engine

restarting automatically.

The information appears on the

instrument panel, in the form of an “up” or

“down” arrow and the recommended gear.

Coasting mode

Depending on version or engine, with an

EAT8 gearbox and the gear selector in mode

Driving

Driving on ﬂooded roads

The system is reactivated automatically

whenever the engine is started by the

driver.

Time counter

Before entering into 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.

A time counter adds up the time spent in standby

during the journey. It is reset to zero every time

the ignition is switched on.

Operation

Main conditions for operation

Special cases:

The engine will not go into standby if the

conditions for operation are not met and in the

following cases:

– Steep slope (ascending or descending).

– Vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph (10 km/h)

since the last engine start (with the key or the

START/STOP button).

– Electric parking brake applied or being

applied.

– Needed to maintain a comfortable temperature

in the passenger compartment.

– The driver’s door must be closed.

– The sliding side door must be closed.

– The driver's seat belt must be fastened.

– The level of charge in the battery must be

suﬃcient.

– The temperature of the engine must be within

its nominal operating range.

– The outside temperature must be between

0°C and 35°C.

Deactivation/Activation

With button

Putting the engine into standby

(STOP mode)

The engine automatically enters standby mode

as soon as the driver indicates their intention to

stop:

– With a manual gearbox: at a speed below

2 mph (3 km/h) or with the vehicle stationary

(depending on engine), with the gear lever in

neutral and the clutch pedal released.

– With an automatic gearbox: at a speed below

2 mph (3 km/h) or with the vehicle stationary

(depending on engine), with the brake pedal

depressed or the gear selector in position N.

– Demisting active.

In these cases, this indicator lamp ﬂashes

for a few seconds, then goes oﬀ.

► To deactivate or reactivate the system, press

this button.

The indicator lamp is on when the system is

deactivated.

After the engine has restarted, STOP

mode is not available until the vehicle

has reached a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h).

With touch screen

During parking manoeuvres, STOP mode

is not available for a few seconds after

coming out of reverse gear or turning the

steering wheel.

The system is activated/

deactivated via the Vehicle/

Driving touch screen menu.

If the system has been deactivated in

STOP mode, the engine restarts

immediately.

Restarting the engine (START mode)

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a

qualiﬁed workshop.

essential that the tyre pressure is correct during

the operation. This operation is the driver’s

responsibility.

The engine automatically restarts as soon as the

driver indicates the intention of moving oﬀ again:

With a manual gearbox: with the clutch pedal

fully depressed.

With an automatic gearbox:

– With the selector in position D or M: with the

brake pedal released.

– With the selector in position N and the brake

pedal released: with the selector at D or M.

– With the selector in position P and the brake

pedal depressed: with the selector at R, N, D

or M.

The vehicle stalls in STOP mode

The tyre under-inﬂation detection cannot,

in any circumstances, replace the need

for vigilance on the part of the driver.

This system does not avoid the need to

regularly check the tyre pressures (including

the spare wheel), especially before a long

journey.

Driving with under-inﬂated tyres, particularly

in adverse conditions (heavy load, high

speed, long journey):

All of the instrument panel warning lamps come

on if there is a fault.

Depending on version, a warning message

may also be displayed, prompting you to place

the gear selector in position N and depress the

brake pedal.

► Switch oﬀ the ignition then start the engine

again with the key or the "START/STOP" button.

12 V battery

The Stop & Start system requires a

12 V battery of speciﬁc technology and

speciﬁcation.

All work must be carried out only by a

CITROËN dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop

– Reverse gear engaged.

– worsens road-holding.

– lengthens braking distances.

– causes premature wear of the tyres.

– increases energy consumption.

Special cases

The engine will restart automatically if the

conditions for operation are met again and in the

following case:

– Vehicle speed exceeds 2 mph (3 km/h)

(depending on engine).

The inﬂation pressures deﬁned for the

vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure

label.

For more information on the Identiﬁcation

markings, refer to the corresponding section.

Tyre under-inﬂation

detection

This system alerts the driver if one or more tyres

suﬀer a drop in pressure.

In this case, this indicator lamp ﬂashes for

a few seconds, then goes oﬀ.

Malfunctions

Checking tyre pressures

The alert is raised when the vehicle is moving,

not when stationary.

Depending on the vehicle’s equipment:

In the event of a system malfunction, this

warning lamp ﬂashes on the instrument

panel.

This check should be done monthly

when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for

1 hour or after a journey of less than 6 miles

(10 km) at moderate speeds).

Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures

shown on the label.

It compares the information given by the wheel

speed sensors with reference values, which

must be reinitialised every time the tyre

pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.

It takes into account the last values stored

during the reinitialisation request. It is therefore

The warning lamp in this button ﬂashes

and a message appears, accompanied by

an audible signal.
