Gearbox and steering wheel

STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT

When the vehicle is stationary,
release the steering wheel adjustment
mechanism by pulling the lever.
Adjust the steering wheel for height
and reach, then lock the mechanism by
pushing the lever fully forwards.

Acceleration

For optimum acceleration (e.g. to
overtake another vehicle), simply
press the pedal beyond the point of
resistance at the end of its travel,
by pressing down fi rmly.


Vehicle stationary, with the
engine running
In the event of a prolonged stop with
the engine running, the gearbox
changes automatically to neutral N
.


Stopping the vehicle

Before stopping the engine, put the
gear selector in position N
.
In all cases, it is essential to apply
the parking brake. Check that the
parking brake warning lamp is on in the
instrument panel.

Before doing anything in the
engine compartment, check that
the gear selector is in neutral N
.

Stop & Start

STOP & START

The Stop & Start system puts the
engine temporarily on standby - STOP
mode - during stops in the traffi c (red
lights, traffi c jams, or other...). The
engine 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 consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise
level when stationary.

Operation


Going into engine STOP mode

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
release the clutch pedal,

- with the 6-speed electronic
gearbox
, at a speed below 5 mph
(8 km/h), when you press the brake
pedal or put the gear selector into
position N
. If your vehicle is fi tted with the system,
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.
With the automatic gearbox
system, for your comfort during
parking maoeuvres, 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.
Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
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 start
using the key,

- the parking brake is applied 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.

Stop & Start



Reactivation

Press the "ECO OFF"
switch again.
The system is active again; this is
confi rmed by the switch warning
lamp going off and a message in the
instrument panel.
The system is reactivated
automatically at every new start
using the key.


Operating fault

In the event of a malfunction
with the system, the "ECO
OFF"
switch warning lamp
fl ashes, then comes on
continuously.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP
mode, the vehicle may stall. It is then
necessary to switch off the ignition and
start the engine again using the key.


Maintenance

Before working under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system
to avoid any risk of injury resulting
from automatic operation of START
mode.
This system requires a specifi c
battery with a special specifi cation
and technology (reference numbers
available from a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by
CITROËN introduces the risk of
malfunction of the system.
The Stop & Start system makes
use of advanced technology. All
work on this type of battery must
be done only by a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.

LED DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS

Rear foglamps (amber,
2nd rotation of the ring
forwards). Front foglamps (green,
1st rotation of the ring
forwards).
Front and rear foglamps
Rotate ring B
forwards to switch on
and rearwards to switch off. The status
is confi rmed by the warning lamps in
the instrument panel.
They operate with the sidelamps and
dipped beam headlamps. Do not forget to switch them off
when they are no longer needed.
Operation of the automatic illumination
of headlamps switches off the rear
foglamps, but the front foglamps
remain on.

To switch off the front and rear
foglamps, turn the ring rearwards twice
in succession.
In clear weather or in rain, both day
and night, rear foglamps dazzle and
their use is prohibited.

Automatic illumination of headlamps

In foggy weather or in snow,
the sunshine sensor may
detect suffi cient light. As a
consequence, the lighting will not
come on automatically.
If necessary, you must switch
on the dipped beam headlamps
manually.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor
located on the windscreen, behind
the mirror. It is used for the automatic
illumination of headlamps and for the
automatic rain sensitive wipers.

Activation
Turn the ring to the AUTO
position.
The activation of this function is
accompanied by a message in the
screen.

Deactivation
Turn the ring forwards or rearwards.
The deactivation of this function is
accompanied by a message in the
screen.
The function is deactivated temporarily
when you use the manual lighting
control stalk. The sidelamps
and dipped beam
headlamps switch
on automatically if
the light is poor, or
during operation of the windscreen
wipers. They switch off as soon as the
light becomes bright enough or the
windscreen wipers stop.
This function is not compatible with the
daytime running lamps.

On starting the vehicle, in daylight the
LED daytime running lamps come on
automatically.
If the sidelamps and headlamps are
switched on manually or automatically,
the daytime running lamps go off.


Programming

For countries where exterior lighting by
day is not a legal requirement, you can
activate or deactivate the function via
the confi guration menu. If the user does not operate any
equipment for 30 minutes, the
Economy mode engages to avoid
discharging the battery (see "Battery"
in section 7). Electrical functions are
put on standby and the battery warning
lamp fl ashes.
Sidelamp operation is not affected by
Economy mode.

CRUISE CONTROL "CRUISE"

In order for it to be programmed or
activated, the vehicle speed must be
greater than 25 mph (40 km/h) with at
least 4th gear engaged. This cruise control shows the function
selection status in the instrument panel
and displays the programmed speed:
Function selected,
display of the "Cruise
Control" symbol.
Function deactivated,

OFF
(example at
107 km/h).
Function activated
(example at
107 km/h).
Vehicle speed above
(e.g. 118 km/h),
the programmed
speed is displayed
fl ashing.
Operating fault
detected,

OFF
- the dashes
fl ash. "This is the speed at which the driver
wishes to drive".
This aid to driving in free-fl owing
traffi c enables the vehicle to maintain
the speed programmed by the driver,
unless a steep gradient makes this
impossible.

Steering mounted controls

However, pressing the pedal beyond
this point of resistance to the fl oor
allows the programmed speed to be
exceeded. To resume use of the limiter,
simply reduce the pressure on the
accelerator pedal gradually and return
to a speed below that programmed.

The operating actions may be
carried out when stationary, with the
engine running, or with the vehicle
moving.
This speed limiter shows the function
selection status in the instrument panel
and displays the programmed speed:
SPEED LIMITER "LIMIT"

Function selected,
displaying of the
"Speed Limiter"
symbol.
Function deactivated,
last programmed
speed - OFF

(example at 65 mph (107 km/h)).
Function activated

(example at 65 mph (107 km/h)).

Vehicle speed above
(example 70 mph
(118 km/h)),
the programmed
speed is displayed
fl ashing.
Operating fault
detected,

OFF
- the dashes
fl ash. "This is the selected speed which the
driver does not wish to exceed".
This selection is made with the engine
running while stationary or with the
vehicle moving. The minimum speed
which can be programmed is 20 mph
(30 km/h).
The speed of the vehicle responds
to the pressure of the driver's foot as
far as the accelerator pedal point of
resistance which indicates that the
programmed speed has been reached.
