Inser t the key in the filler cap, turn it slightly
to the left and then return to the right.
The key returns to its initial position and the filler cap is then unlocked.
Low fuel level

When the low fuel level is reached,
the last bar
flashes, accompanied byan audible signal.
Yo u h a v e a p p r o x i m a t e ly 5 litres
remaining.In cer tain driving conditions and depending on
t
he engine, the distance which can be travelled
with the fuel remaining may be less than30 miles (50 km).
When the frequency of the flashing increases, you have approximately 3 litres remaining . )Unscrew the cap with the key.

)Hang the filler cap on the bracket, located
on the inner face of the filler flap.


A label affixed on the inside of the flap reminds you which type of fuel to use.
When you fill the fuel tank, do not continue after
the 3rd cut-off of the pump. This could cause
malfunctions.
The capacity of the fuel tank isapproximately 35 litres.)After filling the fuel tank, screw the cap
back on fully to the right until it clicks
thenclose the flap.
The fuel tank must be filled with theengine switched off.
f
If you run out of fuel, the emissioncontrol system warning lamp may come on in the instrument panel. It will go off
automatically after the engine has been started a few times.

43 Driving

EASY mode (automatic
mode)
Select position E
using the gear lever.
The gear engaged is displayed in the
instrument panel screen.
The gearbox continuously selects the mostsuitable gear.
Manual mode
Place the gear lever in position M, then changeup or down using:
- 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.


Operating fault
Stoppin
g the engine

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.
With the i
gnition on, illumination
of this warning lamp indicates a gearbox fault.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Stopping - Moving off on a
slo
pe
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
g brake and not the accelerator pedal.
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
You can temporarily take control of gear changes using the "+"and "-"
steering
mounted controls; if the engine speed allows,
the
gear change command is acted on.
This function allows you to anticipate cer tain
situations such as over taking a vehicle or approaching a corner.
After a few moments with no action on thecontrols, the gearbox returns to automaticcontrol of the gears.

49 Safety





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 afault with the braking system or that the parkingbrake 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.

VSC
50Safety














Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and electronic
stability programme (ESP)


Operating check
Operation of the ASR and
ESP systems

When one of these two systems is
operating, this warning lamp comes on.
If a fault occurs with the s
ystems, this
warning lamp comes on.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop to have thesystems checked.
These systems are linked and supplement
the AB
S.
The ASR system optimises drive to prevent the
wheels skidding, by acting on the brakes of the
driving wheels and on the engine. It also allows
the directional stability of the vehicle to be
improved on acceleration.
If there is a variation between the trajectory followed by the vehicle and that required by
the driver, the ESP system automatically acts on the brake of one or more wheels and on theengine to put the vehicle back on course, within
the limits of the laws of physics.
The ASR/ESP systems offer exceptional safety during normal driving, but this should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive athigh speed. Correct operation of these systemsdepends on obser vation of the manufacturer's recommendationsregarding the wheels (tyres and rims), thebraking components and the electronic components as well as the repair procedures use by a CITROËN dealer or qualified workshop.
After an impact, have these systemschecked by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.
