Stopping - Starting on a slope

Do not use the accelerator pedal to
immobilise the vehicle on a slope,
apply the
parking brake
instead.
When starting on a slope, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking
brake.
Switching to sequential mode
Once you have moved off, you can
switch to sequential mode by selecting
position +/- .

"D" disappears and the gears engaged
appear in succession on the instrument
panel screen.
The gear change requests are only car-
ried out if the engine speed permits it.
Take your foot off the accelerator pedal
gently to engage the gear.
Switching to automated mode
Automated mode
After using the sequential mode, you
can return to the automated mode by
selecting position D .

"D" appears on the instrument panel
screen.
The gearbox then operates in auto-active
mode, without any action on the part of
the driver.
It continuously selects the gear most
suited to the conditions of:
- driving style,
- road characteristics,
- vehicle load.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain
the most suitable gear, avoid sharp
variations in the pressure on the
accelerator pedal.
Auto sequential mode
In the automated mode, you can take
over control temporarily at any time us-
ing the steering mounted controls.
The use of these controls permits manual
selection of the gears in situations which
require a faster changedown than that
offered in automated mode (arrival at a
roundabout, exit from a car park with a
steep gradient, overtaking...). Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can:
- move to position N to leave the
gearbox in neutral.
- leave a gear engaged, such as fi rst or reverse.
In both cases, you must apply the park-
ing brake to immobilise the vehicle.
Operating anomaly
With the ignition on, if the message

"Slow down" or "Maintenance re-
quired" appears on the multifunction
screen, this indicates a gearbox mal-
function.
When a message is displayed, carry
out the following operations:
- slow down and stop your vehicle in a safe place,
- place the lever in position N and let
the engine run,
- open the bonnet to allow the engine to cool.
If the message disappears for a long
period, you can set off again.
If the message remains displayed or
appears frequently, contact a CITROËN
dealer without delay.

Press the brake pedal fi rmly
while starting the engine.
Start the engine. "N" appears on the
instrument panel screen.
Select fi rst gear (position D or +/- ) or
reverse (position R ).
Release the parking brake.
Release the brake pedal then accelerate.

"D" or "1" or "R" appear on the instru-
ment panel screen. The gearbox engages the gear re-
quested if the engine speed permits it.
The gear engaged appears.
To return to the automated mode, press
the back of the
"+/OFF" control for ap-
proximately 2 seconds.
At low speeds, when approaching a
stop or traffi c lights for example, the
gearbox changes down to fi rst gear
automatically.

"Normal" automatic mode
Select position D .

"D" appears on the instrument panel
screen.
The gearbox then operates in automatic
mode, without any action on the part of
the driver.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain
the most suitable gear, avoid sharp vari-
ations in the pressure on the accelera-
tor pedal.
"Temporary" manual mode
In automatic mode, you can take
control temporarily at any time using
the steering mounted controls.
The use of these controls permits man-
ual selection of the gears in situations
which require a faster changedown than
that offered in automatic mode (arrival
at a roundabout, exit from a car park
with a steep gradient, overtaking...).
The gearbox engages the gear re-
quested if the engine speed permits it.
The gear engaged appears.
To return to the automatic mode, press
the back of the "+/OFF" control for at
least 2 seconds.
"Sport" automatic mode
From automatic mode, you can engage
"Sport" mode.
With the vehicle moving or stationary,
push the thumbwheel A forward.

"SPORT" appears on the instrument
panel screen.
Switching off "Sport" automatic
mode
You can return to "Normal" automatic
mode at any time:
Push the thumbwheel A rearward
once. Before switching off the engine, you
must engage position
P or N to place
the gearbox in neutral.
You must apply the parking brake to im-
mobilise the vehicle.
The gear lever must be in position P
to
remove the ignition key.
Stopping the vehicle
Hill start assist
To assist you when starting on a gradi-
ent, your vehicle is fi tted with a system
which immobilises it briefl y (approxi-
mately 2 seconds), the time required to
move your foot from the brake pedal to
the accelerator pedal. This function is
only active when the vehicle has been
completely immobilised with your foot
on the brake pedal and on certain gra-
dients.

Do not get out of the vehicle during
the hill start
assist
temporary immo-
bilisation phase.
To immobilise the vehicle on a gradient
for a longer period, you must use the
parking brake, not the accelerator.
When starting on a gradient, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking
brake.

Operating anomaly Reverse gear
Flashing of the indicator R in the instru-
ment panel screen, accompanied by an
audible signal, indicates a malfunction
on engaging the gear:
Press the brake pedal, position the gear
lever in position N and engage reverse
gear again.
With the ignition on, if this warning
light comes on, accompanied by vi-
bration in the pedals and the message

"Maintenance required" on the in-
strument panel display, this indicates a
gearbox malfunction.
If the message is displayed, carry out
the following operations:
- slow down and stop your vehicle in a safe place,
- place the lever in position P or N ,
apply the handbrake and let the
engine run,
- open the bonnet to allow the engine to cool.
If the message disappears for a long
period, you can set off again.
If the message remains displayed or
appears frequently, contact a dealer of
the Marque without delay.

Overheating of the engine may re-
sult in unwanted declutching of the
gearbox.

The cruise control is
switched on
manually: the vehicle speed must be
25 mph (40 km/h) minimum and sec-
ond gear must be engaged in the case
of a manual gearbox.

The cruise control is switched off man-

CHECKING LEVELS Brake fluid level To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Oil level
The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes.
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the oil
level indicator on the instrument panel,
or using the dipstick. The brake fl uid level should be
between the "MAX" and "MIN"
marks.
If it is not, check the brake pad
wear.
Changing the brake fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Coolant level
The coolant level must be
measured when the engine is
cold and should be between
the "LOW" and "FULL" marks.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the
ignition off.
On vehicles which are fi tted with a
particle emission fi lter, the fan may
operate after the vehicle has been
switched off, even if the engine is
cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
Screenwash and headlamp wash * fluid
Check the fl uid level regularly,
using the gauge.
* According to country.
Changing the engine oil
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.
Oil specifi cation
The oil must correspond to your en-
gine and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations. Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
fulfi l the DOT4 standards.
Changing the coolant fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
Fluid specifi cation
This fl uid must conform to the manufac-
turer's recommendations for optimum
cleaning.
Power steering fluid level
Check the fl uid level with the engine at
idle.
Check that the power steering fl uid
level is always between the "MAX" and
"MIN" marks and top up if necessary.
Fluid specifi cation
This fl uid must conform to the manufac-
turer's recommendations.
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
When working under the bonnet, take
care as certain areas of the engine may
be extremely hot (risk of burns).
