CVT GEARBOX
The six-speed automatic gearbox of-
fers a choice between the comfort of
automatic regulation or the pleasure of
manual gear changing.
This gearbox has two driving modes:
- an automated mode for automatic
control of the gears by the gearbox
and therefore without any action on
the part of the driver,
- a sequential mode for manual changing of the gears by the driver
using the steering mounted controls
or the gear lever.
It consists of the following controls:
- a gear lever 1 on the centre console
for selecting the driving mode, reverse
gear and neutral or for changing gear
in sequential mode,

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.
- l e a v e a g e a r e n g a g e d , s u c h a s fi r s t 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.
P r e s s t h e b r a k e p e d a l fi r m l y
while starting the engine.
Start the engine. "N" appears on the
instrument panel screen.
S e l e c t fi r s t g e a r ( p o s i t i o n 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

DCS GEARBOX
The six-speed electronically controlled
gearbox offers a choice between the
comfort of automatic regulation or the
pleasure of manual gear changing.
This gearbox has three driving modes:
- a manual mode for changing of
the gears by the driver using the
steering mounted controls or the
gear lever,
- a " Normal " automatic mode for
economical control of the gears
(everyday use),
- a " Sport " automatic mode which
permits a more dynamic style of
driving, with improved acceleration
and optimised engine braking. When you move the lever in the gate to
select a position, the corresponding in-
dicator or message is displayed on the
instrument panel.

R. Reverse.
