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.
When driving, 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.
GEARBOXES AND STEERING WHEEL
5-speed gearbox 6-speed gearbox
Reverse gear
In the 6-speed configuration, raise the collar
under the gear knob to engage 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. This equipment will become available during
the year.

STARTING AND STOPPING
Key
Take care to prevent the key from coming
into contact with grease, dust, rain or a
damp environment.
A heavy object attached to the key
(key ring, ...) weighing the key down in the
ignition switch may cause a malfunction.
Starting position.
The starter is operated, the engine turns
over, release the key.
STOP position: steering lock.
The ignition is off. Turn the steering wheel
until the steering locks. Remove the key.
Good practice when starting If this comes on, a door or the
bonnet is not closed correctly,
check!
Diesel pre-heating warning light
If the temperature is high enough,
the warning light comes on for
less than one second, you can
start without waiting.
In cold weather, wait for this warning light to
switch off then operate the starter (Starting
position) until the engine starts. Good practice when stopping
Minimise engine and gearbox wear
When switching off the ignition, let the
engine run for a few seconds to allow the
turbocharger (Diesel engine) to return to idle.
Do not press the accelerator when switching
off the ignition.
There is no need to engage a gear after
parking the vehicle.
Running and accessories position.
To unlock the steering, turn the steering
wheel gently while turning the key, without
forcing. In this position, certain accessories
can be used. Door or bonnet open warning light
STEERING WHEEL HEIGHT AND DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
When the vehicle is stationary, unlock the
steering wheel by lowering the lever.
Adjust the height and depth of the steering
wheel, then lock by pushing the lever fully
upwards. Starting and stopping

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS - EBFD)
The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force
distribution) systems improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.
The ABS prevents locking of the wheels,
the EBFD provides control of the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.
Good practice
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock. It does not reduce the braking
distance.
On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil, etc...)
the ABS may increase the braking distance.
When braking in an emergency, do not
hesitate to press the brake pedal firmly,
without releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able to
continue to manoeuvre the vehicle to avoid
an obstacle.
Normal operation of the ABS may be felt by
slight vibration of the brake pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are recommended by
CITROËN. If this warning light comes on,
together with the brake and STOP
warning lights, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message
on the display, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution which
could result in a loss of control of the vehicle
on braking.
Stop immediately.
EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables the
optimum braking pressure to be reached
more quickly, press the pedal firmly without
releasing it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is activated.
This alters the resistance of the brake pedal
under your foot.
If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the display, it
indicates a malfunction of the ABS
which could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle on braking. In both cases, contact a CITROËN dealer.
To prolong the operation of the emergency
braking assistance system: keep your foot
on the brake pedal.

Airbags
SAFETY
4
Good practice
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object...). This could hamper the operation
of the airbags or injure the occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
All work on the airbag system is strictly
forbidden unless it is carried out by qualified
personnel of the CITROËN network. Side airbags
Only put recommended covers on the seats.
These will not hinder inflation of the side
airbags. Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Do not fix or glue anything to the seat backs.
This could cause injury to the chest or arms
when the side airbag inflates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on the
centre part of the wheel.
Do not allow passengers to place their feet
on the fascia, they risk serious injury if the
airbag is triggered.
Smoke as little as possible as deployment
of the airbags can cause burns or the risk of
injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel
or hit it violently.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns
to the head, chest or arms when an airbag
is triggered cannot be ruled out. In fact, the
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose. Curtain airbags
Do not fix or glue anything to the roof. This
could cause injury to the head when the
curtain airbag inflates.
Do not remove the grab handles installed
on the roof, they play a part in securing the
curtain airbags.
