The gear engaged is displayed on the instrument panel screen.
The gearbox continuously selects the most suitable gear.
If you press the accelerator pedal beyond the point of resistan ce,
the SensoDrive gearbox selects the gear below to permit sharper
acceleration.
Manuel mode
Place the gear lever in position M, then change up or down through the
gears by pressing:
- rearwards, "+" to change up,
- forwards, "-" to change down.
The gear engaged is displayed on the instrument panel screen.
In the event of under-revving, to prevent any risk of stalling, the gear below
is selected automatically.
In the event of overheating of the clutch, position N is selected automatically
and the symbol N flashes accompanied by an audible signal.
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can change to position N to be in
neutral.
In all cases, it is essential that you apply the handbrake to immobilise the
vehicle.
It is compulsory to press the brake pedal while starting the engine.
Never select neutral N while the vehicle is moving.
In all cases, it is essential to apply the handbrake to immobilise the vehicle.
Operating fault
On a slope, use the brake to immobilise the vehicle and place the gear lever in position N, E or R.
Do not keep the vehicle immobilised using the accelera tor.

THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) AND THE BRAKING SYSTEM
The ABS system, associated with the braking system, increases the stabil ity and manoeuvrability of your vehicle
during braking, especially on uneven or slippery road surfaces.
The ABS function intervenes automatically if there is a risk of th e wheels locking.
The normal operation of the ABS system may show itself through slig ht vibrations of the brake pedal.
Note: if you should change any of the wheels on your vehicle (tyres a nd wheel rims), make sure that the replacements
are approved.
The lighting of this warning lamp indicates a malfunctioni ng of the ABS system which could cause a loss of
control of the vehicle on braking.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
The simultaneous lighting of these warning lamps indicates a malfunctioning of the braking system
which could cause a loss of control of the vehicle on braking.
It is essential to stop the vehicle.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
If you should need to brake in an emergency, press the brake pedal very hard without relaxing the effort.
When parking on a slope, direct your wheels towards th
e pavement and pull the handbrake.

ESP (Electronic Stability Programme) and ASR (Traction control)
These systems are associated with and complementary to the ABS. If
there is a discrepancy between the trajectory being taken by the vehicle
and that desired by the driver, the ESP system acts automatically on the
brake of one or more of the vehicle’s wheels as well as on the engine, in
order to bring the vehicle back onto the desired trajectory.
The ASR system optimises traction, so as to prevent the wheels from
skidding, by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels as wel l as on the
engine. It also improves the vehicle’s steering stability under acceleration.
System operational
These warning lamps light up for a few seconds when the
ignition is switched on, to signal that the ESP/ASR system
is operational.
The system will remain operational until the ignition is swi tched off again.
Functioning
When the ASR system is active, this warning lamp flashes.
When the ESP system is active, this warning lamp flashes
accompanied by a sound signal.
Functioning anomaly
If the system starts to malfunction, this warning lamp comes on.
Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the system checked. Safety advice
The ESP system offers you
increased safety in normal driving,
but it is not there to encourage the
driver to take extra risks or to drive
at excessive speeds.
The correct functioning of
this system is dependent on
compliance with the manufacturer’s
recommendations in terms of
wheels (both rims and tyres),
braking components, electronic
components, and CITROËN fitting
and repairing procedures.
After any collision, have this system checked out by a CITROËN dealer.

AIR CONDITIONING
A. Air conditioning On/Off
With the engine running, press
the button, the warning lamp lights
up.
If the control C is in position
"0", the air conditioning is off.
The cabin temperature cannot be
lower than the ambient temperature
unless the air conditioning is
operating.
For reassurance that your system
is functioning correctly, you are
recommended to have it checked
on a regular basis.
Water arising from condensation
in the air conditioning system
drains away through an aperture
provided for this purpose. A pool of
water may thus form underneath
the vehicle when stationary.
If after a prolonged stop in strong
sunshine the cabin temperature is
excessive, open the windows to
air the passenger compartment
for a few minutes, the close them
again.
The air conditioning uses power
from the engine to operate. There
is therefore a slight increase in
fuel consumption.
To keep the compressor well
sealed, it is essential to operate
the air conditioning at least once
in every month.
Whatever the time of year, the air
conditioning is useful in removing
humidity and misting.
To be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the
windows closed.

Adjustment of temperature
Rotate the control from blue (cold) to red (hot) to adjust
the temperature to your preference.
C. Adjustment of air flow
When you switch on the ignition, rotate the control to
obtain a flow of air that is comfortable.
Air inlet
Make sure that the exterior air inlet grille and manifold
at the base of the windscreen is clean and free of dead
leaves, snow, etc..
If you wash the vehicle with a high pressure jet, avoid
targeting the air inlet grille.
Air circulation
In order to obtain a perfectly even distribution of air,
you should take care not to obstruct the exterior air
inlet grille, the air vents, the air ducts, or the air outle
ts
to the passenger footwells.
The air vents to the face have grilles for orienting the
flow of air.
Pollen filter
Your installation has a filter for excluding dust.
This filter has to be changed at the prescribed
maintenance intervals (see the Maintenance Guide). D.
Recirculation of air / Outside air
Recirculation of air inside the cabin is useful
for isolating the passenger compartment from
odours or fumes coming from outside.
A combined use of both the air conditioning
and air recirculation for only a short time will optimise
the performance of the air conditioning.
Used in a climate with high humidity, recirculation of
air carries the risk of the windows misting.
As soon as possible, move the manual control D to the
right, to be in the "Exterior air" position, so as to avoid
any risk of poor air quality.
Entry of air from the outside helps to prevent
and eliminate misting of the windscreen and side
windows.
