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 
 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. 
 Refer to the "Rear parking assistance" 
section of chapter 4.

READY TO SET OFF
   Starting  and  stopping   
  Fault   When a malfunction of the  
system occurs, this warning light 
comes on accompanied by an 
audible signal and confirmed by 
a message on the display, if fitted in your 
vehicle.  
   Contact a  CITROËN  dealer to have the  
system checked.  
 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.      Good  practice  when  stopping  
  Minimise engine and gearbox wear  
 When switching off the ignition, let the  
engine run for a few seconds to allow the 
turbocharger to return to idle.  
 Do not press the accelerator when switching  
off the ignition.  
 There is no need to engage a gear after  
parking the vehicle.

 If fitted on your vehicle, the system consists  
of four proximity sensors, installed in the 
rear bumper.  
 They detect any obstacle: person, vehicle,  
tree, fence, behind the vehicle during the 
manoeuvre.  
 However, objects the size or thickness of  
which are detected at the beginning of the 
manoeuvre will no longer be detected at the 
end of the manoeuvre: blind spots between 
and below the sensors. Examples: stake, 
roadworks cone or pavement post.   Engage  reverse  gear  
 The proximity information is indicated by an  
audible signal which becomes more rapid as 
the vehicle approaches the obstacle.  
 When the distance between the rear of  
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than 
approximately thirty centimetres, the audible 
signal becomes continuous.  
 The system cannot, in any circumstances,  
take the place of the vigilance and
responsibility of the driver.   
  Stop  the  assistance  
 Change to neutral.    Operating  fault 
   If this warning light comes on on  
the instrument panel, contact a 
 CITROËN  dealer. 
 If your vehicle is fitted 
with this display, a 
message appears.  
  Good  practice  
 In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the  
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or 
snow.

ACCESSORIES
   Towing  a  trailer   
  
Cooling:   towing a trailer on a slope 
increases the coolant temperature.  
 As the fan is electrically controlled, its  
cooling capacity is not dependent on the 
engine speed.  
 On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the  
engine speed and reduce your speed.  
 In all cases, pay attention to the coolant  
temperature.     
Tyres:   check the tyre pressures of the 
towing vehicle (see the "Identification 
features" section of chapter 9) and of 
the trailer, observing the recommended 
pressure. 
  Towbar 
     We recommend the use of original 
 CITROËN  towbars and their harnesses, 
which have been tested and approved from 
the design stage of your vehicle and that 
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to a 
 CITROËN  dealer.  
 If this equipment is not fitted by a  
 CITROËN  dealer, it is imperative that it is 
fitted using the electrical pre-equipment 
installed at the rear of the vehicle and 
in accordance with the manufacturer ’s 
instructions.  
  Good practice 
 In certain cases of particularly arduous 
use (towing the maximum load up a steep 
slope in high temperatures), the engine 
automatically limits its power. In this 
case, the automatic cutting off of the air 
conditioning allows the engine power to be 
recovered. 
 If the coolant temperature 
warning light comes on, stop the 
vehicle and switch off the engine 
as soon as possible.   
 See the "Levels" section of chapter 7.    
Brakes:   towing increases the braking 
distance. Drive at a moderate speed, 
change down early and brake gradually.  
  
Side wind:   sensitivity to side wind is 
increased. Drive smoothly and at a  
moderate speed.  
  
ABS:   the system only controls the vehicle, 
not the trailer.  
  
Rear parking assistance:   the assistance 
does not function while the vehicle is towing.
