Gearbox and steering wheel
ELECTRONIC GEARBOX SYSTEM
The 5-speed electronic gearbox system
gives you the choice between the comfort of
automatic mode or the driving pleasure of a
manual gearbox.
This gearbox gives you access to two driving
modes :
- an automatic mode for the automatic
management of gear changes, with no
driver intervention necessary,
- a sequential mode for manual gear
changes made by the driver using the
gear lever.
It is comprised of a gear lever 1 on the
central console to select the driving mode,
reverse gear and neutral, or to select
sequential mode.
Gear lever positions
N : neutral.
With your foot on the brake pedal, select this
position to start the engine.
R : reverse gear.
With the vehicle stationary, hold your foot
down on the brake pedal and push the gear
lever upwards.
A : automatic mode.
Move the gear lever downwards to select
this mode.
M +/- : sequential mode with manual gear
changes.
Move the lever downwards, then to the left
to select this mode, then :
- push it forwards to move up a gear,
- pull it backwards to go down a gear.
Starting the vehicle
Select position N .
Press firmly on the brake pedal whilst
starting the engine.
Start the engine. “N” appears on the
instrument panel display.
Select first gear (position M or A) or reverse
gear (position R).
Release the parking brake.
Remove your foot from the brake pedal, then
accelerate.
“AUTO” and “1” or “R” appear on the
instrument panel display.
It is possible to start in second gear,
only in sequential mode.

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 a s h i n g o f “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.

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. 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 3.
ADJUSTING THE STEERING WHEEL MANUAL GEARBOX
Good practice
When the vehicle is stationary, unlock the
steering wheel by pushing the lever down.
Adjust the depth and height of the steering
wheel, then lock by pulling the lever up fully.
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.
