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.

Checks
This section describes access to the engine compar tment, the procedure
for bleeding the fuel system on Diesel engines after running out of fuel,
the location of various engine components needed to check the levels
and the main wearing parts.

Closing
Running out of fuel
(Diesel)
If your vehicle is fitted with an HDI engine, the
fuel system must be primed if you run out of
fuel.
This system consists of a priming pump and a
transparent pipe under the bonnet.
)
Fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of
Diesel.
)
Open the bonnet.
)
Depending on version, unclip the cover to
gain access to the priming pump.
)
Squeeze and release the priming pump
until resistance is felt (could be from the
first application) and fuel appears in the
transparent pipe with the green connector.
)
Operate the star ter until the engine star ts.
)
Depending on version, put the cover back
in position and clip it in place.
)
Close the bonnet.
If the engine does not star t at the first
attempt, do not try again.
Operate the priming pump again, then
the star ter.
)
Take the stay out of the suppor t notch.
)
Clip the stay in its housing.
)
Lower the bonnet and release it at the end
of its travel.
)
Pull on the bonnet to check that it is fully
latched.
