Driving
Gear effi ciency indicator * System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up on vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox.
Operation
The system intervenes only when driving economically.
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise you to skip one or more gears. You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations mustnot be considered compulsory. In fact, the configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors whenchoosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
*
Accordin
g to engine. -
You are in third gear.
Example:
-
You press the accelerator pedalmoderately.
-
The system may suggest that you engage a higher gear, if appropriate.
The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow accompanied b
y
the suggested gear.
In the case of driving which makes
par ticular demands on the performance of the engine (firm pressure on theaccelerator pedal, for example, whenover taking...), the system will not recommend a gear change.
The system never suggests:
- engaging first gear,
- engaging reverse gear,
- engaging a lower gear.

Six-speed electronic gearbox system which
o
ffers a choice between the comfor t of fully automatic operation or the pleasure of manualgear changing.
There are two driving modes: -automaticmode for automatic control of
t
he gears by the gearbox,-manualmode for sequential gear changingby the driver.
For each of these two modes, there is a a Sport
setting, corresponding to a more
dynamic driving style.
In automatic mode, it remains possible to
change gear manually by using the steering mounted control paddles when required, when

Lane departure warning system
System which, using a camera which
recognises solid or broken lines, detects the
involuntary crossing of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the ground.
To provide safe driving, the camera analyses
the image then, if the driver's attention drops,
triggers a warning if the vehicle drifts over a
lane marking (speed higher than 50 mph (80 km/h)).
This system is par ticularly useful on motor waysand main roads.
Activation
)
Press this button, the indicator
lamp comes on.
The lane depar ture warning system
cannot, in any circumstances, replacethe need for vigilance and responsibility on the par t of the driver.
Deactivation
You are warned by the vibration of the driver's seat cushion:
- on the right-hand side, if the marking on theground has been crossed on the right,
- on the left-hand side, if the marking on the ground has been crossed on the left.
No warning is transmitted while the direction indicator is active and for approximately 20 seconds after the direction indicator is switched off.
Detection - alert
Operatin
g fault
The detection may be impeded:
- if the markings on the ground are worn,
- if there is little contrast between the markings on the ground and the road surface.
- if the windscreen is dir ty,
- in certain severe weather conditions: fog, heavy rain, snow, bright sunlight or direct exposure to the sun (low sun, leaving a tunnel, ...) and shade.

O
peration
The speed limiter is switched onmanually: it
requires a programmed speed of at least20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched offby manual foperation of the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporaril
y by pressing the accelerator firmlybeyond the point of resistance.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
The pro
grammed speed remains in the memory
when the i
gnition is switched off.

Programming
)Turn dial 1 to the "LIMIT"
position: the
speed limiter mode is selected but is not
switched on
(Pause). You do not have to switch the speed limiter onin order to set the speed. )Set the speed value by pressing button 2or 3(e.g.: 55 mph (90 km/h)).
Exceeding the programmed speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed speed willnot have any effect unless you press the pedal firmlypast the point of resistance
.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the programmed speed,
which is still displayed, flashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or
unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels theflashing of the programmed speed.
Exiting the speed limiter
mode
)Turn dial 1to the "0"
position: the speed limiter mode is deselected. It disappears from the screen.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the speed limiter,
the speed is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
On a steep descent or in the event of sharp acceleration, the speed limiter willnot be able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,
- do not fit one mat on top of another.
)Switch the speed limiter back on by pressing button 4
again.
You can then chan
ge the programmed speed using buttons 2 and 3
:
- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = shor t press,
- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.
If speed memorisation is available and activated on your vehicle, theprogrammed speed will stop at the closest memorised speed; refer to thecorresponding paragraph. )Switch the speed limiter on by pressing button 4. )Switch the speed limiter off by pressing button 4: the display confirms that it has been switched off (Pause).
