system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the vigilance or
responsibility of the driver. Puncture
The service warning lamp
comes on in the instru-
ment panel, accompanied
by an audible signal and
a message on the multi-
function screen locating
the wheel concerned.
Check the tyre pressures as soon as
possible. This check must be carried
out when the tyres are cold. The
STOP warning lamp
comes on in the instru-
ment panel, accompanied
by an audible signal and
a message on the multi-
function screen locating
the wheel concerned.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.
Change the damaged wheel (punc-

have the tyre pressure checked as
soon as possible.
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
The service warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and a mes-
sage on the multifunction
screen locating the wheel
or wheels which are not detected or
indicating a fault in the system.
Have the faulty sensor(s) checked
by a CITROËN dealer. All repairs and changing of tyres
o n a w h e e l fi t t e d w i t h t h i s s y s t e m
must be carried out by a CITROËN
dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you install a
wheel which is not detected by your
v e h i c l e ( e x a m p l e : fi t t i n g o f s n o w
tyres), you must have the system
reinitialised by a CITROËN dealer.
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pres-
sure checked regularly (refer to the
" T e c h n i c a l d a t a - § I d e n t i fi c a t i o n
features" section) to ensure that
the optimum dynamic perform-
ance of the vehicle is maintained
and prevent premature wear of the
tyres, particularly in arduous dri-
ving conditions (heavy load, high
speed).
The tyre pressures must be
checked cold, at least once a
month. Remember to check the
pressure of the spare wheel.

Operation in manual mode
Move the selector to position M .
Controls
behind
the steering wheel
The paddles behind the steering
wheel give you access to the six for-
ward gears. - In manual mode, it is not neces-
sary to release the accelerator
completely during gear changes.
- A request to change gear is accepted only if the engine
speed permits it.
- For safety reasons, depending on the engine speed, a change
down may be performed auto-
matically.
In situations of high engine speeds
(heavy acceleration), a change
up will not occur unless the driver
operates the paddle.
Acceleration
For optimum acceleration (e.g. to
overtake another vehicle), simply
press the pedal beyond the point of
resistance at the end of its travel, by
p r e s s i n g d o w n fi r m l y .
Vehicle stationary, with the
engine running
In the event of a prolonged stop with
the engine running, the gearbox
changes automatically to neutral N . Stopping the vehicle
Before stopping the engine, you can
choose:
to leave the vehicle in neutral;
move the selector to position N .
to leave the vehicle with a gear
engaged ( R , A or M ); place the
selector in the chosen position
prior to stopping the engine. In
this case, the vehicle cannot be
moved.
In all cases, it is essential to apply
the parking brake. Check that the
parking brake warning lamp is lit up
in the instrument panel.
Do not use the accelerator to hold
your vehicle on a gradient. Use
either the brake pedal or the parking
brake.
Before doing anything in the engine
compartment, check that the selec-
tor is in neutral N .
Changing gear
Pull the " +
" paddle to change up
a gear.
Pull the " -
" paddle to change
down a gear.
The paddles do not permit you to
select neutral or reverse gear, or to
exit reverse gear.
- If the vehicle stops or reduces speed (for example when
approaching a stop sign), the
gearbox changes down auto-
m a t i c a l l y , t o fi r s t g e a r i f n e e d e d .

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,
- r o a d p r o fi l e ,
- 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.
