Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic 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.
The Stop & Start system requires
the use of a 12 V battery of special
technology and specification. All
work on this type of battery must
only be done by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop. For more
information on the 12 V battery, refer to
the corresponding section.
Operation
Going into engine STOP
mode
The "ECO" warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
-
with a manual gearbox, when stationary,
in neutral, and you release the clutch
pedal.
-
with an electronic gearbox, when
stationary or at speeds below 5 mph
(8 km/h) (depending on version), in neutral
(control on N) or when you press the brake
pedal.
Stop & Start time
counter
A cumulative time counter for periods
in STOP mode during a journey.
It is displayed in the trip computer (accessible
via the "Driving assistance" menu of the
touch screen tablet).
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on.
For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
The Stop & Start system does not affect
the the vehicle's other systems, such as
for example braking, power steering...
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
