 Operate the starter.

 When the engine is running,
place the selector on R , D or M
as required.

 Check, in the instrument panel,
the position engaged.

 Release the brake pedal and
accelerate.

 To avoid a difference between
the position of the selector and
the actual position of the gear-
box, only exit from position P
with the ignition on and the brake
pedal pressed.
Park Reverse gear
This position of the selector is used
to prevent the vehicle from moving
when you are stationary.

 To select position P, move the
selector back to the highest
position (towards R ), then push it
forwards and then to the left. Only engage this position when
the vehicle is stationary. To prevent
snatching, do not accelerate too
soon after selection.
Neutral
Never select position N if the vehicle
is moving.
Never select positions P or

R if the vehicle is not sta-
tionary.
If, while the vehicle is moving, po-
sition N is engaged inadvertently,
allow the engine to idle before
engaging position D or M .
Otherwise, when the ignition is on or
the engine is running:

 reposition the selector in position P ,

 put your foot on the brake pedal
and then select the gear you
want. Automatic operation

 Move the selector to position D .
The gearbox constantly selects the
gear that is best suited to the follo-
wing conditions: - driving style,
- road profi le,
- vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in

auto-adaptive mode, without requi-
ring any action on your part.
For certain manoeuvres (for example
overtaking), you can obtain maxi-
mum acceleration by pressing the
accelerator pedal down hard, which
then produces an automatic change
down to a lower gear.
When braking, the gearbox may
change down automatically in order
to provide effective engine braking.
If you lift your foot off the accelera-
tor abruptly, the gearbox will not
engage a higher gear.

 To exit position P , move the
selector to the right and then to
the position you want.

 Only engage this position when
the vehicle is completely sta-
tionary. In this position, the front
wheels are locked. Make sure
that the selector is correctly posi-
tioned.

Manual operation
SPORT and SNOW
programmes
These two special programmes sup-
plement the automatic operation in
very specifi c conditions of use.
Position of the selector for manual
gear changing.
The fl ashing of the warning lamp for
the position requested signals that
this position is not yet obtained.
If the warning lamp is on fi xed, the
position is confi rmed.
Lighting of a dash in the rev counter
indicates an operating fault. In this
case:
- a marked snatching may be felt
when selecting R for reverse
gear,
- the gearbox is locked in a gear,
- do not exceed 60 mph (approx. 100 km/h).
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
- A request to change gear is
accepted only if the engine
speed permits it.
- For safety reasons, depending on the engine speed, a change
up or down may be performed
automatically.
- It is possible at any time to move from position D (driving in auto-
matic mode) to position M (dri-
ving in sequential mode) or vice
versa.
- The SPORT and SNOW modes
do not operate in sequential
mode.
SPORT programme "S"

engine running, press button S .
The gearbox automatically favours a
dynamic style of driving.

S appears on the instrument panel.

 Move the selector to position M .

 Push the lever forwards to
change up a gear.

 Pull the lever backwards to
change down a gear.
- If the vehicle stops or reduces speed (for example when
approaching a stop sign), the
gearbox changes down automa-
tically, to fi rst gear if necessary.
- In sequential mode, it is not necessary to release the acce-
lerator during gear changes. SNOW programme "
 "

 With the lever in position D and
the engine running, press button
"  ".
The gearbox adapts to driving on
slippery roads.
This programme facilitates starting
and traction in conditions of poor grip.

 appears on the instrument panel.

VISUAL AND AUDIBLE FRONT AND/OR REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
System consisting of four proximity
sensors, installed in the front and/or
rear bumper.
It detects any obstacle (person, vehi-
cle, tree, barrier ...) located behind the
vehicle, however, it will not be able to
detect obstacles located immediately
below the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a road-
works cone or any other similar
object may be detected at the start
of the manoeuvre but may no longer
be detected when the vehicle moves
nearer to it. The parking assistance is
switched
off :
- when you exit reverse gear,
- when the speed is higher than 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear,
- when the vehicle has been stationary for more than three
seconds in forward gear.
The parking assistance system
cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver.
The parking assistance is
switched
on :
- by engaging reverse gear,
- at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear.
This is accompanied by an audible
signal and/or displaying of the vehi-
cle on the multifunction screen.
The proximity information is indicated
by:
- an audible signal which becomes more rapid as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle,
- a diagram on the multifunction screen, with blocks which move
closer to the vehicle.
The obstacle is located in relation to
the emission of the audible signal by
the speakers; front or rear and right
or left.
When the distance between the
vehicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately twenty-fi ve centime-
tres, the audible signal becomes
continuous and/or the "Danger"
symbol appears, depending on the
multifunction screen version.

QUESTION SOLUTION RESPONSE
The quality of reception of the radio station listened to gradually deteriorates or the stored stations do not function (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed...).
The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used by the station listened to or there is no transmitter in the geographical area th rough which the vehicle is travelling.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, baseme nt car parks...) block reception, including in RDS mode.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for exam ple when going through a car wash or into an underground car park).
Activate the RDS function to enable the system to check whether there is a more powerful transmitter in the geographical area.
This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate a failure of the audio equipment.
Have the aerial checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Sound cut-outs of 1 to 2 seconds in radio mode.
During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for any frequency permitting better reception of the station. Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon is too frequent and always on the same route.
With the engine off, the audio equipment switches off after a few minutes of use.
When the engine is switched off, the audio equipme nt operating time depends on the battery charge. The switch-off is normal: the audio equipment switches to economy mode and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery.
Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery charge.
