Driving
Restarting the engine (START mode)
All work must be carried out only by a
CITROËN dealer.
Overspeed alert
The engine automatically restarts as soon as
the driver indicates the intention of moving off
again, with the clutch pedal fully pressed.
6
An audible overspeed alert is triggered
when the vehicle exceeds predefined speed
thresholds.
When the vehicle speed is greater than 80
km/h, the alert is emitted once.
When the vehicle speed is greater than 120
km/h, the alert is emitted every 2 seconds.
Gear shift indicator
This system helps reduce fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Vehicle stationary, this warning lamp
goes off in the instrument panel
when the engine goes into START
mode.
Operation
Special cases
Tip
The system advises to change gear.
This system cannot be modified nor
deactivated.
The engine will restart automatically if the
conditions for operation are met again and in
the following cases:
– Vehicle speed exceeds 5 km/h.
– Some specific conditions (braking assistance,
air conditioning setting, etc.).
The information appears in the in-
strument panel in the form of an as-
cending or descending arrow.
Under-inflation detection
This system automatically checks the pressures
of the tyres while driving.
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.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.
The number displayed is the current gear.
Gear shift recommendations should not be
considered compulsory. In fact, the road layout,
the traffic density and safety remain the
deciding factors when choosing the best
gear. The driver therefore remains responsible
for deciding whether or not to follow the
indications issued by the system.
In these cases, this indicator lamp
flashes for a few seconds, then goes
off.
Malfunctions
This system cannot be deactivated.
In the event of a malfunction, the button’s
indicator lamp flashes briefly, then remains on.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Tip
Warning
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:
– engaging first gear.
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.
The vehicle stalls in STOP mode
All of the instrument panel warning lamps
come on if there is a fault.
Switch off the ignition then start the engine
again.
– engaging reverse gear.
Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy load, high
speed, long journey):
– worsens road-holding.
– lengthens braking distances.
Warning
12 V battery. The Stop & Start system
requires a 12 V battery of specific technology
and specification.
