Driving
Manual gear changing
In the automated mode, you can take over
control temporarily at any time using thesteering mounted controls.
The use of these controls permits manualselection of the gears in situations whichrequire a faster change down than that offered
in automated mode (arrival at a roundabout, exit from a car park with a steep gradient,
over taking...).
The gearbox engages the gear requested if
the engine speed permits it. The gear engaged appears.
To return to the automated mode, do one of thefollowing:
- press the back of the "+/OFF"steering mounted control 3for approximately2 seconds,
- move the gear lever quickly towardsposition +/-
and then return it to position D ,
- stop the vehicle.
Stopping the vehicle

Driving
As the engine torque is applied to all four wheels, the condition of the tyres
has a considerable impact on theperformance of the vehicle. Ensure that all four tyres are in good condition. Avoid driving the vehicle in sandy or muddy areas or in other areas in whichthe wheels could spin. Spinning the wheels places thetransmission components under pressure and could cause a seriousmalfunction. Do not drive the vehicle through deep water. Avoid driving over excessively uneventerrain (risk of scraping under the body or of grounding on crossing a bridge).
Operating faults
If the selected transmission mode display flashes, the vehicle switches automatically to front "2WD"
transmission mode.
It is then no longer possible to select the
transmission mode using the control A
.
If the message "SLOW DOWN" is displayed on
the instrument panel, let the transmission cool
down then wait for the displa
y to clear beforesetting off again.
If "4WD" and "LOCK" are displayed alternatelyand if "SERVICE REQUIRED" is displayed in
the instrument panel, the system has failed and
the safety system has been activated.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop without dela
y.
Have your vehicle towed on a flatbed. The vehicle must not be towed with the front or rear wheels on the ground evenif it is in front "2WD" (2 wheel drive)mode.

Front par king sensors
Deactivation / Activation of thefront and rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this
button. The indicator lamp in the button goes
off.
Pressing this button again reactivates the
function. The indicator lamp in the button
comes on.
Operating fault
The front parking sensors are triggered when
an obstacle is detected in front, a gear isengaged (position Dfor vehicles with a CVT gearbox) and the speed of the vehicle remains
below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than five seconds
in for ward
gear, if no fur ther obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
Remember to deactivate the system if towing a trailer or caravan.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure thatthe sensors are not covered with mud, ice or snow. When the vehicle is moving at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h), cer tain soundsources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger the audible signals of the parking sensor system.
In the event o
f an problem, when reverse gear
is engaged this lamp in the button flashes,
accompanied by an audible signal.This supplements the audiblesignal by displaying bars in the screen, in front of or behind the
vehicle.If one of the sensors is fault
y, it
flashes in the instrument panel
screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
workshop. Th
ese bars flash at the start of the manoeuvrethen become fixed from a certain distance between the vehicle and the obstacle.
