Gearbox and steering wheel
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR *
System which reduces fuel consumption
by advising the driver to change gear on
vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox.
Operation
The system intervenes only when driving
economically.
The gear change recommendations must
not be considered compulsory, as the
configuration of the road, the amount of
traffic and safety remain determining factors
when choosing the best gear. Therefore,
the driver remains responsible for deciding
whether or not to follow the advice given by
the system.
This function cannot be deactivated. Example:
- You are in third gear.
- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
- The system may suggest that you engage a higher gear, if appropriate. The information appears in the form of the
indicator
SHIFT in the instrument panel
screen, accompanied by an up arrow for
changing up or a down arrow for changing
down.
In the case of driving which
makes particular demands on the
performance of the engine (firm pressure
on the accelerator pedal, for example,
when overtaking...), the system will not
recommend a gear change.
* According to engine.

Moving off
You must press the brake pedal.
Start the engine; the gearbox changes into
neutral automatically.
the gear lever stays in the position selected
before switching off the ignition.
"N" appears in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by an audible signal, to
indicate that there is a difference between
the position of the gear lever and the gear
selected in the gearbox.
Select first gear (move the lever towards + )
or reverse (position R ).
Release the parking brake.
Remove your foot from the brake pedal and
then accelerate away.
"1" or "R" appears in the instrument panel
screen. It is also possible to move off in 2nd
gear on slippery surfaces.
Stopping - Starting on a slope
This gearbox is an electronic gearbox which
does not have a clutch pedal.
Do not use the accelerator pedal to
immobilise the vehicle on a slope, apply
the parking brake instead; failure to
follow this procedure can overheat the
clutch and damage the gearbox.
When moving off on a slope, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking brake. By rapidly pushing the accelerator fully
done, the vehicle moves off quickly.
Automated mode
Once you have moved off, you can switch to
automated mode by selecting position
A/M .
"AUTO" and the gear engaged
appear in 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 most appropriate
gear depending on the:
- vehicle speed,
- engine speed,
- accelerator pedal position.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain the
most suitable gear, avoid sharp variations in
the pressure on the accelerator pedal.
If you press the accelerator pedal beyond
the point of resistance, the gearbox changes
down for sharper acceleration.

Gearbox and steering wheel Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, with your
foot on the brake pedal, you should:
- select first gear or reverse.
- apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.
Temporarily changing gear
You can also request a gear change using
the gear lever.
This action does not deactivate the
automated mode, but allows temporary
use of the sequential mode functions (for
example: for overtaking another vehicle...).
"AUTO" remains displayed in the instrument
panel screen.
"ECO" economy programme
This programme works with the automated
mode to reduce fuel consumption.
Press button E to activate the programme. Sequential mode
After using the automated mode, you can
return to the sequential mode by selecting
position
A /M again.
"E" appears in the instrument
panel screen, next to "AUTO"
and the gear selected by the
gearbox.
The gearbox then selects the best gear for
the speed of the vehicle, the engine speed
and the accelerator pedal position to reduce
fuel consumption.
"AUTO" disappears and the
gears engaged appear in
succession in the instrument
panel screen.
t is not necessary to take your foot off the
accelerator pedal to change the gear.
The gear change requests are only carried
out if the engine speed permits it. The
system gives an audible signal if a gear
change is not possible.
At low speeds, when approaching a stop
or traffic lights for example, the gearbox
changes down to first gear automatically. Release the brake pedal after the display
of the gear engaged has disappeared
from the instrument panel screen.
Never leave the vehicle with the
gearbox in neutral (position
N ). In
this case, there is an audible signal on
switching off the ignition (ignition key in
the STOP position).

indicates a fault with the gearbox.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer.
If the problem persist, have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Never select neutral N while the vehicle
is moving.
Only engage reverse gear R with the vehicle
immobilised and the brake pedal pressed.
You risk damaging the gearbox if you
press the accelerator and brake pedals
simultaneously.
Back-up mode - Slow move off
This procedure should be applied if pressing
the brake pedal is not recognised by the
system, or if the gearbox has fault on
starting the engine.
Press the brake pedal firmly.
Turn the ignition key to the
AVV position for
at least seven seconds.
The engine starts.
The system is in back-up mode; the gearbox

If the engine does not start, have the
system checked by a CITROËN dealer. Operating fault
In the event of a prolonged stop with
the engine running, it is recommended
that the gearbox be put into neutral
(position N ).
With the vehicle stationary, the engine
running and first, second or reverse
gear engaged, the gearbox changes to
neutral automatically, accompanied by
an audible signal, in the following
circumstances:
- no action on the accelerator or brake pedals for at least 3 minutes,
- brake pedal applied for more than 10 minutes,
- driver's door opened and no action on the accelerator or brake pedals for at least
1.5 seconds,
- a gearbox fault.

HILL START ASSIST
An integral part of the ESP system, it
faciltates starting on a gradient by keeping
your vehicle immobilised temporarily
(approximately 2 seconds), the time it takes
to move your foot from the brake pedal to
the accelerator pedal.
This function is only active when:
- the vehicle is completely stationary, with your foot on the brake pedal,
- the engine is running,
- the gradient is steeper than 5 %. Operation
On a slope, with engine running and the
vehicle stationary, the vehicle is held
for a brief moment when you release the
brake pedal:
- provided you are in first gear or neutral with a manual gearbox,
- provided you are in position A or M with
an electronic gearbox,
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary, the engine running and reverse
gear engaged, the vehicle is held for a brief
moment when you release the brake pedal.
After 2 seconds, if the vehicle has not
moved off, the system is deactivated
automatically by gradually reducing the
brake pressure. During this phase, the
characteristic sound of brakes being
released will be heard, indicating the
imminent movement of the vehicle. Do not leave the vehicle while it is
being held in the hill start assist phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle while the
engine is running, apply the parking brake
manually. Then ensure that the parking
brake warning lamp is on (not flashing) in
the instrument panel.
Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the system,
these warning lamps come on
in the instrument panel. Contact
a CITROËN dealer to have the
system checked.
In STOP mode of Stop & Start, hill start
assist is inactive.
