indicates incorrect use of the
gearbox by the driver.
With the ignition on, the flashing this warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and
a message in the instrument panel screen,
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
will not go beyond the 3 rd gear engaged and
automated mode is not available.
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.
When towing your vehicle, ensure that
the gearbox is in neutral (position N ).

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.

STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - STOP mode -
during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic
jams, or other...). The engine restarts
automatically - START mode - as soon as
you want to move off. The restart takes
place instantly, quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions and offers the comfort of
complete silence when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "S" warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby: Automatic stopping of the engine is
only possible after the vehicle has
exceed a speed of about 6 mph (10 km/h),
to avoid repeated stopping of the engine
when driving slowly.

(pairing) procedure.
Good practice
You can pair up to three mobile telephones
with the system.
For safety reasons and because they
require prolonged attention on the part
of the driver, the operations for pairing the
mobile telephone and the Bluetooth ®
hands-
free kit must be carried out with the vehicle
stationary and the ignition on. 77

ACCESSORIES
Towing a trailer
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,
automatic cutting off of the air conditioning
allows the engine power to be saved.
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.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identification
markings" section of chapter 7) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressures.
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 sensors: the sensors
will be deactivated automatically
when an genuine CITROËN towbar is used
(see the "Rear parking sensors" section of
chapter 3). 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 essential that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment located at
the rear of the vehicle and following the
manufacturer's instructions.
The operation of the rear parking sensors is
deactivated automatically when the trailer
cable connector is inserted in the towbar
socket.
When the trailer cable is removed, the rear
parking sensors are re-activated.
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest objects are as close as possible
to the axle and the nose weight is close to
the maximum authorised without, however,
exceeding it. The air density decreases with
altitude, so reducing the performance of
the engine. The maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10 % for each 1 000 metres
of altitude. Refer to the "Technical data"
chapter for details of the weights and
towed loads applicable to your vehicle
and also to the administrative documents
(V5 registration document, ...).
