off automatically by pressing the button
again. The indicator lamp associated with
the button switches off.


)
Switch off the demisting/defrosting
of the rear screen and door mirrors
as soon as appropriate as lower
current consumption results in
reduced fuel consumption.

demisting/defrosting is switched off
automatically, demisting/defrosting
will resume next time the engine is
switched on.

Driving


This section describes the use of the parking brake, the manual,
SensoDrive or automatic gearbox, the gear shift indicator and
Stop & Start to help reduce fuel consumption, the speed limiter to
avoid exceeding a programmed speed, cruise control to maintain a
programmed speed, the rear parking sensors to detect obstacles.

Gear shift indicator *
System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up on vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox.


Operation

The system inter venes 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 must
not be considered compulsory. In fact, the
configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
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.

- The system may suggest that you engage a
higher gear, if appropriate.
The information appears in the instrument
panel screen in the form of an arrow
accompanied by the suggested gear.

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


- engaging first gear,

- engaging reverse gear,

- engaging a lower gear.



*
According to engine.
Example:


- You are in third gear.

- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.

Manual operation


D
disappears and the gears engaged
appear in succession on the
instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low or
too high, the gear selected flashes for a few
seconds, then the actual gear engaged is
displayed.
It is possible to change from position D

(automatic) to position M
(manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1

automatically.
The spor t and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode.

Invalid value during manual
operation

)
Select position M
for sequential
changing
of the four gears.

)
Push the lever towards the +
sign to
change up a gear.

)
Pull the lever towards the -
sign to change
down a gear.
It is only possible to change from one gear to
another if the vehicle speed and engine speed
permit; other wise, the gearbox will operate
temporarily in automatic mode. This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).



Stopping the vehicle

Before switching off the engine, you can engage
position P
or N
to place the gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle. When the ignition is on, the lighting
of this warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message in the
multifunction screen, indicates a gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel
a substantial knock when changing from P

to R
and from N
to R
. This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.

Operating fault

If the lever is not in position P
,
when the driver's door is opened or
approximately 45 seconds after the
ignition is switched off, a message
appears in the multifunction screen.


)
Return the lever to position P
; the
message disappears.
There is a risk of damage to the
gearbox:


- if you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,

- if you force the movement of the
gear lever from the P
position to
another position when the battery
is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when at
a prolonged standstill with the engine
running (traffic jam...), put the gear lever in
the N
position and apply the parking brake.

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc...). The engine
restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as offering the comfort of silence when
stationary.

Operation


Going into engine STOP mode

For your comfort when parking, STOP
mode is not available for a few seconds
after coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key. The "ECO"
warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby:


- with a manual gearbox
, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), when you put the gear
lever into neutral, and you release the
clutch pedal,
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. STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

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

- the engine is needed to maintain a
comfor table 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.


Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
The "ECO"
warning lamp flashes for
a few seconds, then goes off.

This operation is per fectly normal.

Identifi cation markings
Various visible markings for the identification of your vehicle.

A. Vehicle identification number (VIN) under
the bonnet.

This number is engraved on the bodywork near
the passenger compar tment filter.

B. Vehicle identification number on
the dashboard.

This number is indicated on a self-adhesive
label which is visible through the windscreen.
D. Tyre/paint label.

This label is affixed to the left hand centre pillar. Wheels which are fitted with 205/45 R17
tyres cannot be fitted with snow
chains. For more information, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption. The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres are cold, at least once
a month.
C. Manufacturer's label.

The VIN is indicated on a self-destroying label
affixed to the left hand centre pillar. It bears the following information:


- the tyre pressures, for unladen and laden
conditions,

- the wheel rim and tyre sizes,

- the brands of tyre recommended by the
manufacturer,

- the spare tyre inflation pressure,

- the paint colour code.
