- the gear lever, pushing:
- rearwards, "+"to change up,
- forwards, "-"to change down.
- or the steering mounted controls paddles.
The gear engaged is displayed on the
instrument panel screen.
If the engine speed is too low, the gearbox automatically changes down to prevent stalling.
In the event of overheating of the clutch, position N is selected automatically and the
symbol N flashes accompanied by an audible
signal.

Before switching off the engine, you can change to position Nto be in neutral.
In all cases, it is essential that you apply the
parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.

The gearbox is an electronically controlledmanual gearbox without a clutch pedal.
To hold the vehicle on a slope, it is necessary
to use the brake pedal or the parkin

When moving off on a slope, accelerateprogressively while releasing the parking brake.
Always press the brake pedal while starting the engine.
Never select neutral N
while the vehicle is moving.In all cases, it is essential to apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.
On a slope, use the brake to immobilisethe vehicle and place the gear lever in position N , E
or R.
Do not keep the vehicle immobilisedusing the accelerator.
If you press the accelerator pedal beyond the point of resistance, theelectronic gearbox gearbox changes
down for sharper acceleration.
Te m p o r a r i ly taking control of gear changes

Emergency braking
assistance
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure morequickly and therefore reduce the stoppingdistance.
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a reduction in
the resistance of the pedal and an increase in
the effectiveness of the braking.
*
The CSC system is linked with the EBFD on
vehicles which are not fitted with ASR/ESP
systems.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and
braking systems (EBFD and CSC * )
The ABS, in conjunction with the EBFD and
CSC *
braking systems, increases the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on brakingand provides improved control, in particular on poor or slippery road surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The EBFD and CSC * systems provide fullcontrol of the braking pressure wheel by wheel.A distribution between:
- the front and the rear in the case of the
EBFD (Electronic Brake Force Distribution),
- the left and the right in the case of theCSC * (Cornering Stability Control).
When changing wheels (tyres), make
sure that these are approved.
The anti-lock braking system comesinto operation automatically when thereis a risk of wheel lock.
When this warning lamp comes on,
it indicates that there is a fault with
the ABS, which could cause a loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
When these warning lampscome on simultaneously, it
indicates that there is a fault
with the braking system or that the parking
brake has not been released fully, which cancause a loss of control of the vehicle when
braking. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, pressvery firmly without releasing thepressure.
