Driving
After the engine has restarted, STOP
mode is not available until the vehicle
has reached a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h).
In these cases, this indicator lamp flashes
for a few seconds, then goes off.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one or
more tyres.
Malfunctions
Under-inflation detection does not
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) as well as before a long
journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy load, high
speed, long journey):
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp flashes for a few moments, then
remains on, accompanied by an onscreen
message.
During parking manoeuvres, STOP mode
is not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear or turning the
steering wheel.
Have the vehicle checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Engine restarting (START mode)
The vehicle stalls in STOP mode
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.
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come
on if there is a fault.
► Switch off the ignition then start the engine
again with the key or the "START/STOP" button.
– worsens road-holding.
– lengthens braking distances.
– causes premature wear of the tyres.
– increases fuel consumption.
The Stop & Start system requires a 12 V
battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work concerning the battery must be
carried out only by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
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.
• Reverse gear engaged.
Under-inflation detection
Special cases
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done when the
tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or
after a journey of less than 6 miles (10 km) at
moderate speeds).
This system automatically checks the pressures
of the tyres while driving.
The engine will restart automatically if all
conditions for operation are met again and in the
following cases.
– Speed of the vehicle exceeds 2 mph (3 km/h).
– Some specific conditions (braking assistance,
air conditioning setting, etc.).
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.
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures
shown on the label.
