Cruise control
The vehicle speed must be higher than
25 mph (40 km/h) with at least 4th gear
engaged.
From the time you release the brake
pedal, the vehicle is held for approximately
2 seconds without need to use the parking
brake, to allow you to move off.

FAMILIARISATION
ECO-DRIVING
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to \
optimise their fuel consumption and CO2
emissions.
Optimise the use of your
gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move
off gently and change up without
waiting. During acceleration change
up early.
With an automatic or electronic
gearbox, give preference to
automatic mode and avoid pressing
the accelerator pedal heavily or
suddenly.
Control the use of your
electrical equipment
Before moving off, if the passenger
compartment is too warm, ventilate it
by opening the windows and air vents
before using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the
windows and leave the air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment
that can help keep the temperature
in the passenger compartment down
(sunroof and window blinds...). Switch off the headlamps and front
foglamps when the level of light does
not require their use.
Avoid running the engine before
moving off, particularly in winter; your
vehicle will warm up much faster
while driving.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between
vehicles, use engine braking rather
than the brake pedal, and press the
accelerator progressively. These
practices contribute towards a
reduction in fuel consumption and CO
2
emissions and also helps reduce the
background traffi c noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control,
make use of the system at speeds
above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the
traffi c is fl owing well.
As a passenger, if you avoid
connecting your multimedia devices
(fi lm, music, video game...), you
will contribute towards limiting the
consumption of electrical energy, and
so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices
before leaving the vehicle. Switch off the air conditioning, unless
it has automatic regulation, as
soon as the desired temperature is
attained.
Switch off the demisting and
defrosting controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as
possible.
The gear shift indicator invites you
engage the most suitable gear: as
soon as the indication is displayed in
the instrument panel, follow it straight
away.
For vehicles fi tted with an electronic
or automatic gearbox, this indicator
appears only in manual mode.

Each time the vehicle is started: a series of warning lamps comes on app\

immediately. When the engine is running: the warning lamp becomes a warning if it remains on continuously or fl ashes.
This initial warning may be accompanied by an audible signal and a messa\

The alert is maintained until
the tyre or tyres concerned is
reinfl ated, repaired or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver
type or a steel rim) does not have a
sensor.
Operating fault
Under-inflation alert
The loss of pressure detected
does not always lead to visible
deformation of the tyre. Do not rely
on just a visual check.
The alert is given by the fi xed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
and depending on equipment, the
display of a message. The fl ashing and then
fi xed illumination of the
under-infl ation warning
lamp accompanied by the
illumination of the "service" warning
lamp, and depending on equipment,
the display of a message indicates a
fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre
pressures is not assured.
In the event of a problem on one of
the tyres, the symbol or the message
appears, according to equipment, to
identify it.
- Reduce speed, avoid sudden
steering movements or harsh brake
applications.
- Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
- In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit
or the spare wheel (according to
equipment),
or
- if you have a compressor, the one in the temporary puncture repair
kit for example, check the four tyre
pressures when cold,
or
- if it is not possible to check the tyre pressures at the time, drive
carefully at reduced speed. This alert is also displayed when
one or more wheels is not fi tted
with a sensor (for example, a
space-saver or steel spare wheel).
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop to have the system checked
or, following the repair of a puncture, to
have the original wheel, equipped with
a sensor, refi tted.

6-SPEED ELECTRONIC GEARBOX
- automatic mode: gear selector in position A .
- manual mode: gear selector in position M .
For safety:
It is only possible to come out
of position N if the brake pedal is
pressed.
The change from position A (driving in
automatic mode) to position M (driving
in manual mode) or vice versa can be
made at any time. The warning lamp A
goes off in the instrument panel.
Mode selection
The information appears in
the instrument panel in the
form of an arrow.
The system adapts its gear
change recommendation
according to the driving conditions
(slope, load, ...) and the demands
of the driver (power, acceleration,
braking, ...).
The system never suggests:
- engaging fi rst gear,
- engaging reverse gear.

Moving off
- To start the engine, the gear selector must be in position N .
- Press fi rmly on the brake pedal.
- Operate the starter.
- When the engine is running, place the gear selector on R , A or M as
desired.
- Release the brake pedal and accelerate.
If the gear selector is not in position N ,
and/or if the brake pedal is not
pressed, the engine will not start.
Repeat the above procedure.
Reverse gear
Engaging reverse gear
Move the gear selector to R .
Only attempt to select reverse gear
when the vehicle is stationary.
Neutral
Changing to neutral
Move the gear selector to N . If the
vehicle is moving, do not select this
position even momentarily. Manual mode
Changing to manual mode
Move the gear selector to M .
Automatic mode
Changing to automatic
mode
Move the gear selector to A .
The gearbox then operates in
automatic mode, without any action on
your part.
It constantly selects the gear that is
best suited to the following conditions:
- driving style,
- road profi le,
- optimum fuel consumption.

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 .
Changing gear
In situations of high engine speeds
(heavy acceleration), a change
up will not occur unless the driver
operates the electronic gearbox control
paddle. Pull on the "
+ " control
paddle to change up.
Pull on the " - " control
paddle to change
down.
- If the vehicle stops or reduces speed (for example when
approaching a stop sign),
the gearbox changes down
automatically, to fi rst gear if
needed.
- It is not necessary to release the accelerator completely during gear
changes.
- A gear change instruction is accepted only if the engine speed
permits.
- For safety reasons, depending on the engine speed, a change down
may be performed automatically.
