Automated mode
Place the selection lever in posi-tion A.
"A" appears in the speedometer to c o n fi r m t h e s e l e c t i o n m a d e .
The gearbox then operates in autoactive mode, without interven-tion on your part.
It constantly selects the gear best adapted to the following parame-ters:
- Style of driving.
- R o a d p r o fi l e .
Cancellation of automatic mode
Move the gear lever from position Ato select a different position.
The "A" warning lamp disappears on the rev counter.
Instant manual mode
Even in automatic mode, if you touch the controls under the steer-ing wheel "+" or "-" you immediately change gear.
The "A" warning lamp remains dis-played on the rev counter.
In the absence of any further action, automatic mode reactivates to cope with the prevailing driving condi-tions.

Manual mode
Position the gear lever in position M, then:
- push the lever to engage a higher gear,
- pull the lever to change down.
Manual mode with controls behind the steering wheel
Place the gear lever in position M, and then the controls at the steering wheel will give you access to the six gears in forward drive.
To change gear:
- Press behind the control "+" at the steering wheel to engage a higher gear.
- Press behind the control "-" at the steering wheel to change down.
Observations:
When the vehicle is braking or reduc-ing speed, the gearbox changes down automatically to a suitable gear.
In manual mode, it is not necessary to release the accelerator during changes of gear.
Changes of gear are accepted only if consistent with engine speed.
Under heavy accelera-tion, a higher gear will only be engaged when the driver actions the gear lever or the controls at the steering wheel.
Note: These controls at the steering do not permit you to select neutral or reverse gear.

This driving assistance device allows you to select a maximum speed that you wish not to exceed. This has to be a speed greater than 30 km/h (approx. 20 mph).
The speed limiter controls are located on the steering wheel.
Note: The information relating to the limiter is displayed in zone A of the instrument panel.
To select the function
Turn control 1 to position "LIM".
On selection of the function, the last speed memorised and the informa-tion "OFF" will appear:
To adjust the maximum speed
Provided the engine is running, you can adjust the memorised maximum speed, with short or long presses on:
- button 4 to increase the memo-rised maximum speed,
- button 2 to decrease the memo-rised maximum speed.
Note: successive presses modify the memorised speed in steps of 1 km/h (1 mph), a continuous press in steps of 5 km/h (3 mph).
Activation of the maximum speed
When the desired maximum speed is displayed, press button 3 to acti-vate the limitation.
The information "OFF" then disap-pears from zone A.
While the function is active, pressing the accelerator pedal will not enable you to go beyond the programmed speed unless you press the pedal hard down past the tight spot (see "Temporary exceeding of the maxi-mum speed").
Note: The vehicle speed may vary slightly from that memorised.

To stop the function
- move the control from position "LIM" to position 0.
- or stop the engine.
The speed that you chose is memo-rised.
In the event of a malfunction, a message is displayed, accompanied by a sound signal and lighting of the SERVICE warning lamp.
Consult your CITROËN dealer.
A fl o o r m a t n o t r e c o m -mended by CITROËN risks sliding under the accelerator pedal, thus preventing you from pressing past the tight spot.
It will then be impossible to exit from the desired limitation, unless by acting on the steer-ing wheel control.
The driver must still remain atten-tive and in complete control of the vehicle.
We advise the driver to keep their feet close to the pedals.
Note: if during speed limitation, the system cannot keep to the maxi-mum speed (especially on a steep descent or if you accelerate too h a r d ) t h e s p e e d fl a s h e s . A d a p t y o u r speed as necessary.
The function will re-engage when your speed has returned below the desired maximum.
Deactivation of the maximum speed
Press button 3.
The information "OFF" will appear on the instrument panel screen.
This action does not cancel the memorised maximum speed, which remains displayed in zone A of the instrument panel.
Temporary override of the maximum speed
You can exceed the memorised maximum speed at any time by pressing the accelerator pedal hard down past the tight spot.
During the time the limit speed is being exceeded, the displayed s p e e d fl a s h e s .
You have only to release the accel-erator pedal to return below the maximum speed, thus keeping the function active.
