DRIVING
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR *

System which reduces fuel con-
sumption by advising the driver to
change up on vehicles fi tted 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 in-
termediate gears.
The gear recommended should not
be considered compulsory. In fact,
the confi guration of the road, the
amount of traffi c and safety remain
determining factors when choosing
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.

* According to engine.
Example:


- You are in third gear.

- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.

- The system may suggest that
you engage a higher gear, if ap-
propriate.
The information appears in the form
of an arrow in the instrument panel
screen.
Depending on your vehicle's equip-
ment, this arrow may be accompa-
nied by the recommended gear.

In the case of driving which
makes particular demands
on the performance of the
engine (fi rm pressure on
the accelerator pedal, for example,
when overtaking...), the system will
not recommend a gear change.
The system never suggests:


- engaging fi rst gear,

- engaging reverse gear,

- engaging a lower gear.

played in the instrument panel,
on the left on the A and C multi-
function screens and on the right
on NaviDrive and MyWay multi-
function screens.

ated with the gear lever shows
the position selected.



When the ignition is on, il-
lumination of the service
warning lamp, accompa-
nied by an audible signal and
the message "Gearbox faulty"
indicates a malfunction.


Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.

For safety:


)
position N
can only be disen-
gaged if you are pressing the
brake pedal.

)
if the gearbox is in position N

but the gear lever position is dif-
ferent, reposition the gear lever
on N
in order to be able to start.



Moving off



)
To start the engine, the gear le-
ver must be in position N
.

)
Press fi rmly on the brake pedal.

)
Operate the starter.

When the engine is running,
place the gear lever on R
, A
or
M
as desired.

)

the position engaged.

)
Release the brake pedal and ac-
celerate.
If the gear lever is not in position N
,
and/or if the brake pedal is not
pressed, the corresponding warning
lamp(s) are displayed and a mes-
sage informs you that at least one of
these two conditions is not met.
In this case, the engine will not start,
recommence the above procedure.
6-SPEED ELECTRONIC GEARBOX SYSTEM
The 6-speed electronic gearbox of-
fers a choice between the comfort of
fully automatic operation or the driving
pleasure of manual gear changing.
You have a choice of two driving
modes:


-
automatic
mode for automatic con-
trol of the gears by the gearbox,

- manual
mode for sequential
changing of the gears by the
driver.


)
Automated mode: gear lever 2
in
position A
.

)
Manual mode: gear lever 2
in po-
sition M
.
In automated mode, temporary man-
ual operation is possible any time by
using one of the paddles 1

DRIVING
The Stop & Start system puts the en-
gine temporarily into standby - STOP
mode - during stops in the traffi c (red
lights, traffi c jams, or other...). The en-
gine restarts automatically - START
mode - as soon as you want to move
off. The restart takes place instantly,
quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop &
Start system reduces fuel consump-
tion and exhaust emissions as well
as the noise level when stationary.

Operation

The "ECO"
warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and
the engine goes into standby:


- with the electronic gearbox
system
, at speeds below 4 mph
(6 km/h), press the brake pedal or
put the gear lever in position N
. If your vehicle is fi tted with the sys-
tem, a time counter calculates the
sum of the periods in STOP mode
during a journey. It rests itself to zero
every time the ignition is switched on
with the key.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available

Never refuel with the en-
gine in STOP mode; you
must switch off the ignition
with the key.
For your comfort, during parking
maoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after

functionality of the vehicle, such as
for example, braking, power steer-
ing... STOP mode is not invoked

tened,

- the vehicle has not exceeded
6 mph (10 km/h) since the last
engine start using the key,

- the electric parking brake is ap-
plied or being applied,

- the engine is needed to maintain
a comfortable temperature in the
passenger compartment,

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature,
braking assistance, ambient
temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a
system.
In this case, the "ECO"
warning
lamp fl ashes for a few seconds then
goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.
