Instruments and controls

Trip recorder zero reset button

After this operation, if you wish to
disconnect the battery, lock the

vehicle and wait for at least fi ve

minutes, otherwise the zero re-set will
not be registered.

Zero re-set

Your CITROËN dealer carries out this
operation after each service.
However, if you carry out the service
yourself, the re-set procedure is as
follows:
-

switch off the ignition,

-

press and hold the trip recorder
reset button,

-

switch on the ignition.

The display begins a countdown.
When the display shows "=0" , release
the button; the spanner disappears.

Engine oil level indicator

When the ignition is switched on, the
engine oil level is indicated for a few
seconds, after the service information.

Oil level correct

Lack of oil
Flashing of "OIL" ,
linked with the
service warning light,
accompanied by an

audible signal and a message on the
display, indicates a lack of oil which
could damage the engine.
If the lack of oil is confi rmed by a check

using the dipstick, it is essential that
the level is topped up.

Oil level gauge fault
Flashing of "OIL--"
indicates a malfunction
of the engine oil level
gauge. Consult a
CITROËN dealer.

The level read will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes.

Dipstick
A

= maximum, never exceed

this level as a surplus of oil
may damage the engine.
Contact a CITROËN dealer
without delay.
B = minimum, top up the level

via the oil fi ller cap, using

the type of oil suited to your
engine.

Lighting rheostat

With the ignition on, press
the button until the zeros
appear.

With the lights on, press
the button to vary the
intensity of the lighting
of the instruments and

GEARBOX

5-speed - reverse gear gearbox

To change gear easily, always press
the clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedal:
- ensure that the mat and its fi xings

on the fl oor are positioned correctly,

- never fi t one mat on top of another.
When driving, avoid leaving your hand

on the gear knob as the force exerted,

even if slight, may wear the internal

components of the gearbox over time.

To engage reverse gear, wait until the
vehicle is stationary then push the gear
lever to the right then down.
The lever should be moved slowly to
reduce the noise on engaging reverse
gear.

In order to drive as fuel

effi ciently as possible with a

manual gearbox, this indicator

lamp indicates to the driver to
change up.

The driver remains responsible for
deciding whether or not to follow this
indication, since the indicator lamp
comes on without taking into account

the confi guration of the road, the

amount of traffi c and safety factors.
The lighting of this indicator lamp
cannot be deactivated.

When reverse gear is engaged
and when changing down whilst
decelerating, the function is disabled.

Stop & Start

STOP & START

The Stop & Start system puts the
engine temporarily on standby - STOP

mode - during stops in the traffi c (red

lights, traffi c jams, or other...). The

engine restarts automatically - START
mode - as soon as you want to move
off. The restart takes place instantly,
quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and

exhaust emissions as well as the noise

level when stationary.

Operation

Going into engine STOP mode

The "ECO" warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel and the engine goes
into standby:

-

with a manual gearbox , at speeds
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you
put the gear lever into neutral and
release the clutch pedal,

-

with the 6-speed electronic
gearbox system , at a speed below
5 mph (8 km/h), when you press
the brake pedal or put the gear
lever into position N .

If your vehicle is fi tted with the system,

a time counter calculates the sum of
the periods in STOP mode during a
journey. It rests itself to zero every time
the ignition is switched on with the key.

With the automatic gearbox

system, for your comfort during
parking maoeuvres, STOP mode

is not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as

braking, power steering, for example.

Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch off
the ignition with the key.

Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
STOP mode is not invoked when:
-

the driver's door is open,

-

the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph

(10 km/h) since the last engine start
using the key,

-

the parking brake is applied or
being applied,

-

the engine is needed to maintain
a comfortable temperature in the
passenger compartment,

-

demisting is active,

-

some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature,
braking assistance, ambient
temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a
system.

In this case, the "ECO"

warning lamp fl ashes for a

few seconds, then goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.

Stop & Start

Going into engine START mode

The "ECO" warning lamp
goes off and the engine
starts:

-

with a manual gearbox , when you
depress the clutch pedal,

-

with the 6-speed electronic
gearbox system :

gear lever in position A or M ,

when you release the brake
pedal,

or gear lever in position N and

the brake pedal released, when
you move the gear lever to
position A or M ,

or when you engage reverse

gear.

Special cases: START invoked
automatically
START is invoked automatically when:
-

you open the driver's door,

-

you unfasten the driver's seat belt,

- the speed of the vehicle exceeds

15 mph (25 km/h) with a manual

gearbox or 7 mph (11 km/h) with

the 6-speed electronic gearbox

system,

-

the parking brake is being applied,

-

some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature,
braking assistance, ambient
temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a
system.

In this case the "ECO"

warning lamp fl ashes for few

seconds, then goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.
With a manual gearbox in STOP

mode, if a gear is engaged without
fully depressing the clutch pedal, a
warning lamp comes on or a message
is displayed asking you to depress the
clutch pedal to restart the engine.

Deactivation

At any time, press the "ECO
OFF" switch to deactivate the
system.

This is confi rmed by the switch warning

lamp coming on accompanied by a
message on the screen.
If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately.

Reactivation

Press the "ECO OFF" switch again.
The system is active again; this is

confi rmed by the switch warning

lamp going off and a message in the
instrument panel.

The system is reactivated
automatically at every new start
using the key.

Operating fault

In the event of a malfunction
with the system, the "ECO
OFF" switch warning lamp

fl ashes, then comes on

continuously.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer

or a qualifi ed workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP
mode, the vehicle may stall. It is then
necessary to switch off the ignition and
start the engine again using the key.

Maintenance

Before working under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system
to avoid any risk of injury resulting

from automatic operation of START
mode.
This system requires a specifi c

battery with a special specifi cation

and technology (reference numbers
available from a CITROËN dealer or a

qualifi ed workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by
CITROËN introduces the risk of
malfunction of the system.

The Stop & Start system makes
use of advanced technology. All
work on this type of battery must

be done only by a CITROËN dealer or

a qualifi ed workshop.

Starting and stopping

pressed, from the time you release the

brake pedal you have approximately

2 seconds before the vehicle starts to
roll back and without using the parking
brake within which to move off.
During the moving off phase, the
function is deactivated automatically,
gradually releasing the braking
pressure. During this phase, the typical
noise of mechanical release of the
brakes can be heard, indicating the
imminent movement of the vehicle.

Operating fault

Hill start assist is deactivated in the
following situations:
-

when the clutch pedal is released,

-

when the parking brake is applied,
