Driving

The information appears in the

instrument panel in the form of an

arrow.

Operation

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.

Going into engine STOP mode

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.

This indicator lamp comes on in the

instrument panel and the engine

goes into standby automatically.

With a manual gearbox, at speeds below

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

stationary (with the PureTech 110, 130 and

BlueHDi 100, 130 versions), when you place

the gear lever in neutral and you release the

clutch pedal,

With 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.

The system adapts its gear efficiency

recommendation according to the driving

conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the

driver's requirements (power, acceleration,

braking, etc.).

Never refuel with the engine in STOP

mode; you must switch off the ignition with

the "START/STOP" button.

The system never suggests:

Deactivation/Manual

reactivation

In certain circumstances, such as to

maintain the temperature in the passenger

compartment, it may be necessary to

deactivate the Stop & Start system.

Operating fault

If the system fails, this warning lamp

flashes for a few seconds before

lighting up continuously, associated

with a message.

141

Driving

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or

a qualified workshop.

stall.

All of the instrument panel warning lamps come

on.

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.

Driving on flooded roads

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).

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 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 battery,

refer to the corresponding section.

Driving with under-inflated tyres

increases fuel consumption.

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 every 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 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.

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.
