READY TO SET OFF
Gearbox and steering wheel
Stopping – Starting on a gradient
This is an electronic gearbox system without
a clutch pedal.
To immobilise the vehicle on a gradient,
you must use the parking brake and not
the accelerator.
When starting on a gradient, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking brake.
Changing to sequential mode
Once you have started the engine, you
can go into sequential mode by selecting
position M.
“AUTO” disappears and
the gears selected appear
successively on the instrument
panel display.
Gear change requests are only possible if
the engine speed allows them.
Gently lift your foot from the accelerator
pedal to select the gear.
When driving at low speed (e.g. approaching
a stop sign or at traffic lights), the gearbox
automatically changes down to first gear.
Changing to automatic mode
When in sequential mode, you can return to
automatic mode by selecting position A.
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can :
- select position N to engage neutral.
- leave a gear engaged, such as first or
reverse gear.
In either case, you must engage the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle.
Reinitialising
Following a battery disconnection, you must
reinitialise the gearbox :
- switch on the ignition, “AUTO” appears
on the instrument panel display,
- press on the brake pedal,
- wait for about 30 seconds until “N” or
a gear appears on the instrument panel
display,
- release the brake pedal.
The gearbox is now operational again.
Operating anomaly
With the ignition switched on, the fl ashing of “AUTO” and the lighting of this warning lamp, accompanied by a sound signal and a message on the instrument panel display, indicate a
gearbox malfunction.
Have the system checked by your CITROËN dealer.
You must always press the brake pedal
down when starting the engine.
When the vehicle is moving, never
select neutral N.
Only select reverse gear R with the vehicle
stationary and your foot on the brake pedal.
In all cases, you must engage the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle.
When on a steep gradient, you are advised
to use sequential mode.
“AUTO” is displayed and the
gear selected appears on the
instrument panel display.
The gearbox operates in
automatic mode, without the need for driver
intervention.
It always selects the gear best suited to the
following parameters :
- driving style,
- road profile,
- vehicle load.
To maximise driving comfort and obtain the
most suitable gear, avoid making rough
movements on the accelerator pedal.
If you press the accelerator beyond the point
of resistance, the gearbox selects the next
gear down to allow for faster acceleration.

by a red telephone.
First connection to the system
Turn the ignition key to positionRUNNING.
Switch on your mobile telephone.
Activate the Bluetooth® function on your
mobile telephone and search for Bluetooth®
devices present around the telephone.
Follow the instructions on your mobile
telephone during the matching process and
the searching between the telephone and the
system.
Enter the connection code “1234” and confi rm.
Your mobile telephone is now connected in
Bluetooth® mode with the vehicle’s hands-free
system (matching).
Activation of the system
Once your mobile telephone has been
matched with the vehicle’s hands-free
system, simply ensure that:
- you turn the ignition key to the RUNNING
position,
- your mobile telephone is switched on,
- the Bluetooth® function is activated on
your mobile telephone.
When the connection is established, an
audible signal is emitted and the message

mobile telephones, as well as all of the
telephone numbers recorded in the memory.
For the next hands-free communication,
you must restart the procedure for the first
connection to the system (matching).
Good practice
You can match up to three mobile
telephones in the system.
For safety reasons and because
matching operations require prolonged
attention on the part of the driver, matching
operations between the mobile telephone
and the Bluetooth® hands-free kit must be
carried out with the vehicle stationary, and
the ignition switched on.
The management of the second call
by the system is only possible if the
function is activated on the mobile telephone.
To use voice commands, you must have already recorded and linked a voice identity to the telephone number to be called; refer to your mobile telephone
handbook.

CAB SEAT BELTS
The front seats are fitted with pre-tensioners
and force limiters.
Fastening
Pull the strap, then insert the tongue into the
buckle.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap.
The lap belt must be positioned as low as
possible on the pelvis. The chest belt must
pass over the hollow of the shoulder.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap.
Inertia reel seat belts
These are fitted with a device which locks
automatically in the event of a collision or
emergency braking.
Safety in the event of a front impact has
been improved by the introduction of
pretensioning and force limiting seat belts.
Depending on the seriousness of the
impact, the pretensioning system instantly
tightens the seat belt against the body of the
occupant.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt against the body of the occupant in
the event of an accident.

SAFETY
Seat belts
Good practice
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
which automatically adjusts the length of the
strap to your size. The seat belt is rolled up
automatically when not in use.
Ensure that the seat belt is rolled up
correctly after use.
After folding or moving a seat, ensure that
the seat belt is rolled up correctly in its
compartment and that the buckle is ready to
accommodate the tongue. The inertia reels are fitted with a device
which automatically locks the strap in the
event of a collision or emergency braking or
if the vehicle rolls over.
The air bag warning light comes
on if the pretensioners are
triggered. Consult a CITROËN
dealer .
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of any impact, the pretensioning device may
be triggered before and independently of
inflation of the air bags. It instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt against the body of the occupants.
The equipment fitted to these seat belts is
operational when the ignition is switched on. In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
- restrain one person only,
- not be twisted , check by pulling in front
of you with an even movement,
- be tightened as close to the body as possible.
The upper part of the seat belt should be
positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.
The lap part should be placed as low as
possible on the pelvis.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as they
will not fulfil their role completely. If the
seats are fitted with armrests, the lap part of
the seat belt should always pass under the
armrest.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap firmly.
Recommendations for children:
- use a suitable child seat if the passenger is less than 12 years old or shorter than
one metre fifty,
- never allow a child to travel on your lap, even with the seat belt fastened.
For further information regarding child
seats, refer to the “Child safety” section
of chapter 5.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, your CITROËN dealer
guarantees all work or any checks, from
testing to maintenance, on your seat belt
equipment.
Have the seat belts checked regularly
(even after a minor impact) by a CITROËN
dealer : they must not show any signs of
wear, cutting or fraying and they must not be
transformed or modified.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product, sold
by a CITROËN dealer .
