appear successively in the instrument
panel screen.
When braking or slowing down, the gearbox changes down automatically to permit
acceleration in the correct gear.
This selective

After a few moments without any action on
the controls, the gearbox resumes automaticcontrol of the gears.

Manual mode


At very low speed, if reverse gear is requested, this will only be taken intoaccount when the vehicle is immobilised(foot on the brake). A warning lamp appears in the instrument panel screen.

On sharp acceleration in manual mode,
the gearbox will not change up unless the driver acts on the gear lever or thesteering mounted paddles.
Never select neutral N
while the vehicleis moving. Only engage reverse gear Rwhen thevehicle is immobilised with the brake pedal pressed.
The gear change commands are only carriedout if the engine speed permits. The internal combustion engine is still running.
It is not necessary to release the accelerator
during gear changes.

When immobilising the vehicle, with the hybrid system active, you must place the gear lever in neutral N.Before carrying out any work in the
engine compar tment, check that the gear lever is in neutral N and that the parking brake is applied.



Stopping the vehicle

With the ignition on, the flashing of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message
in the instrument panel screen, indicates a
malfunction of the gearbox.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. Be
fore switching off the engine, you can choose to:


- move to position N
to engage neutral,

- leave the gear engaged; in this case, it will
not be possible to move the vehicle.

In both cases, you should apply the parkingbrake to immobilise the vehicle.

is selected, the vehicle moves as soon as you
take your foot off the brake pedal (even without any action on the accelerator).

The gearbox does not require anymaintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the ser vicing booklet for
details of the checking interval for
this component.
Brake wear depends on the st
yle
of driving, par ticularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over shor tdistances. It may be necessary
to have the condition of the brakes checked, even between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
th
e brake fluid level indicates that the brakepads are worn.
