Gearboxes and steering wheel
MANUAL
To change gear easily, always press the
clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedal:
- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,
- never fit one mat on top of another.
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.
GEARBOXES AND STEERING WHEEL
STEERING WHEEL DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
With the vehicle stationary, first adjust your
seat to the most suitable position.
Unlock the steering wheel by pulling the
lever towards you.
Adjust the depth of the steering wheel, then
lock by lowering the lever fully.
As a safety precaution, these operations
must not be carried out while driving.
Reverse gear
Raise the collar under the gear knob to
engage reverse gear. Never engage reverse gear before the
vehicle is completely stationary.
The lever should be moved slowly to reduce
the noise on engaging reverse gear.
Your reversing manoeuvre is indicated by a
buzzer on the outside.
If your vehicle is fitted with parking
assistance, the system comes into
operation when reverse gear is engaged and
an audible signal is heard.

HILL START ASSISTANCE
This function, linked with the ESP, makes hill
starts easier and is activated in the following
conditions:
- the vehicle must be stationary, engine running, foot on the brake,
- the gradient of the road must be steeper than 5 %,
- uphill, the gearbox must be in neutral or in a gear other than reverse,
- downhill, reverse gear must be engaged.
The HHC (Hill Holder Control) or Hill Start
Assistance function is a driving comfort
feature. It is not an automatic vehicle
parking function or an automatic handbrake. Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal
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 handbrake 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
disengaging of the brakes can be heard,
indicating the imminent movement of the
vehicle.
Anomaly
If a malfunction of the system
occurs, this warning light comes
on accompanied by an audible
signal and confi rmed by a
message on the display. Contact a CITROËN
dealer to have the system checked.

following situations:
- when the clutch pedal is released,

ERGONOMICS AND COMFORT
Improved comfort
SOUNDPROOFING
The Jumper benefits from a suspension
which contributes to improving general
comfort.
These developments also contribute to
reducing noise disturbance.

IMPROVED COMFORT
TREATMENT OF THE BODYWORK LEADING TO ACOUSTIC COMFORT
The underseal under the body, on the body
sills and on the wheel arches considerably
reduces noise and protects the body from
external attack. The Jumper is treated by cataphoresis,
ensuring perfect protection against
corrosion. The anticorrosion warranty has a
duration of 6 years.
