Driving





Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) whenstarting on a gradient, the time it takes to move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
This s
ystem only operates when:


- the vehicle is completely stationary, with your foot on the brake pedal,

- in par ticular conditions on a slope,

- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill star t assist system cannot be
deactivated.
On an ascendin
g slope, with the vehicle
stationary, the vehicle is held for amomentarily when you release the brake
pedal:- provided you are in first gear or neutral on
a manual
gearbox,
- provided you are in position A
or M
on an electronic gear control gearbox,
- provided you are in position D
or M
on an
automatic gearbox.
Operation
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged, thevehicle is held momentarily when you
release the brake pedal.

Do not exit the vehicle while it is beingheld in the hill star t assist phase.
If you need to exit the vehicle with the engine running, apply the parking brake manually then ensure that the parking brake warning lamp (and the warninglamp P
in the lever of the electricparking brake) are on fixed(not flashing).


Operating fault

If a fault in the system occurs, these warning
lamps come on. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to have the systemchecked.

Only engage reverse gear when the vehicle is stationary with the engineat idle.
As a safety precaution and to facilitatestarting of the engine, always select neutral.

Driving











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 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.

most suitable gear according to the style of
driving, the profile of the road and the load in
the vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without touching
the lever, press the accelerator pedal down
fully (kick down). The gearbox changes down
automatically or maintains the gear selected
until the maximum engine speed is reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide efficient engine
braking.
I
f you release the accelerator sharply,
the gearbox will not change to a higher gear for safety reasons.
