141Driving
Engagement of reverse gear is accompanied by an audible signal. If you leave the vehicle, place the gear
selector in position N and then you must stop the hybrid system by switching off the ignition ( Ready lamp off).
If the engine does not start:
Displays in the instrument panel
N Neutral R Reverse 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Gears in manual mode A This comes on when automated mode is selected. It goes off on changing to manual mode.
 Place your foot on the brakewhen a message appears in the instrument panel screen.
Moving off
A and 1 or R appear in the instrument panel screen.
Automatic mode
A appears in the instrument panel screen. A appears in the instrument panel screen. A
The gearbox is then operating in auto-active mode, without any action on the part of the driver. It continuously selects the most suitable gear, depending on the:
- style of driving, - profile of the road.
For optimum acceleration, for example when overtaking another vehicle, press the accelerator pedal firmly past the point of resistance.
 To start the engine, place the gear selector in position N .  Press the brake pedal down fully.  Start the hybrid system.
 After starting the vehicle, select position Afor enter automatic mode.
 Select a drive mode (position M or A ) or A ) or Areverse (position R ). R ). R Release the parking brake by pulling the control lever, if automatic operation has been deactivated.  Progressively release the brake pedal.  If the parking brake is released, the vehicle moves off. If the parking brake is applied and automatic mode is activated, accelerate progressively.
- If N is flashing in the instrument panel, move the gear selector to position A A Athen to position N .
- If the message "Foot on brake" is displayed, press the brake pedal f i r m l y.

Manual gear changing
 When the vehicle has moved off, select position M to change to manual mode.  Operate the + or - steering mounted control paddles.
A disappears and the gears engaged appear successively in the instrument panel screen.
When braking or slowing down, the gearbox changes down automatically to permit acceleration in the correct gear.
This selective gear change mode enables you to overtake, for example, while still remaining in automatic mode.  Operate the + or - steering mounted control paddle. The gearbox engages the gear requested if the engine speed permits. A is still displayed in the instrument panel. After a few moments without any action on
the controls, the gearbox resumes automatic control of the gears.
Manual mode
At very low speed, if reverse gear is requested, this will only be taken into account when the vehicle is immobilised (foot on the brake). A warning lamp appears in the instrument panel screen.
On sharp acceleration in manual mode,
the gearbox will not change up unless the driver acts on the gear lever or the steering mounted paddles. Never select neutral N while the vehicle is moving. Only engage reverse gear R when the vehicle is immobilised with the brake pedal pressed.
The gear change commands are only carried out if the engine speed permits. The internal combustion engine is still running. It is not necessary to release the accelerator during gear changes.

143Driving
When immobilising the vehicle, with the hybrid system active, you must place the gear selector in neutral N . Before carrying out any work in the engine compartment, check that the gear selector is in neutral N and that the parking brake is applied.
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can choose to: - move to position N to engage neutral, - leave the gear engaged; in this case, it will not be possible to move the vehicle. In both cases, you should apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.
Operating fault
Never leave children unsupervised in the vehicle with the hybrid system active.
For your safety, this function will only be activated if you press the brake pedal when engaging forward drive or reverse. This function is deactivated if the driver's door is opened. To reactivate it, close the door and then press the brake or accelerator pedal.
Creep function (moving
without the accelerator)
This function facilitates manoeuvring of the vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic jams, …). With the hybrid system active and the parking brake released, if position A , M or R is selected, the vehicle moves as soon as you take your foot off the brake pedal (even without any action on the accelerator).
You must press the brake pedal when starting the engine. Whatever the circumstances, you must manually apply the parking brake when
parking, unless the parking brake is programmed in automatic mode.
With the ignition on, the flashing of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen, indicates a malfunction of the gearbox. Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

145Driving
The alert is maintained until the tyre or tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired or replaced. The spare wheel (space-saver type or a steel rim) does not have a sensor.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of the tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.
This alert is also displayed when one or more wheels is not fitted with a sensor (for example, a space-saver or steel spare wheel).
The alert is given by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal, and depending on equipment, the display of a message.
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the under-inflation warning lamp accompanied by the illumination of the "service" warning lamp indicates a fault with the system.
Under-inflation alert Operating fault
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.
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked or, following the repair of a puncture, to have the original wheel, equipped with a sensor, refitted.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is not assured.
 If you have a compressor (the one in the temporary puncture repair kit for example), check the four tyre pressures when cold. If it is not possible to check the tyre pressures at the time, drive carefully at reduced speed. or  In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel (according to equipment).

The cruise control system cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to respect speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance and responsibility on the part of the driver. You are advised to keep your feet near the pedals
at all times.

Cruise control
The functions of this system are grouped together on the steering mounted controls. 1. Cruise control mode selection dial. 2. Speed programming / value decrease button. 3. Speed programming / value increase
button. 4. Cruise control off / resume button. 5. Stored speeds display button.
Steering mounted controls
The programmed information is grouped together in the instrument panel screen. 6. Cruise control off / resume indication. 7. Cruise control mode selection indication. 8. Programmed speed value. 9. Selecting a stored speed.
Displays in the instrument panel System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.
This information also appears in the head-up display. For more information, refer to the "Head-up display" section.
Operation
The cruise control is switched on manually: it requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the engagement of second gear with sequential gear changing (position M ). The cruise control is switched off manually or switched off manually or switched offby pressing the brake pedal or on triggering of the "electronic stability programme" system for safety reasons. It is possible to exceed the programmed speed temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal. To return to the programmed speed, simply release the accelerator pedal. Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value.
For more information on the list of memorised speeds, refer to the "Memorising speeds" section.

A set of the following Electronic Stability systems: - anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBFD), - emergency braking assistance, - wheel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction control, - dynamic stability control (DSC).
Electronic stability control (ESC)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking and provides improved control in corners, in particular on poor or slippery road sur faces. The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of emergency braking. The electronic brake force distribution system manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
In an emergency, this system enables you to reach the optimum braking pressure more quickly and therefore reduce the stopping distance. It is triggered in relation to 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.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction in order to avoid wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels and on the engine. It also improves the directional stability of the vehicle on acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path followed by the vehicle and that required by the driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and automatically acts on the brake of one or more wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle to the required path, within the limits of the laws of physics.

199Safety
Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
Your vehicle has a system to help driving on snow: intelligent traction control.
This system detects situations of difficult sur face adhesion that could make it difficult to move off or make progress on deep fresh snow or compacted snow. In these situations, the intelligent traction control limits the amount of wheel slip to provide the best traction and trajectory control for your vehicle. In extremely severe conditions (deep snow, mud, ...), when it proves impossible to move off, it may be useful to temporarily deactivate the ESP/ASR systems to allow the wheels to spin freely and so allow movement of the vehicle.
Operation
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)
In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasing the pressure.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims), make sure that these are approved for your vehicle. Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake pedal.
When this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message, it indicates that there is a fault with the ABS, which could cause loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
When this warning lamp comes on, coupled with the STOP warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message, it indicates that there is a fault with the electronic brake force distribution (EBFD), which could cause loss of control of the vehicle when braking. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so. In both cases, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. The use of snow tyres is strongly recommended on sur faces offering low levels of adhesion.

Dynamic stability control (DSC) and anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Activation
These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is started. As soon as they detect a problem of grip or trajectory, these systems act on the operation if the engine and brakes.
This is indicated by flashing of this warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate the DSC and ASR, so that the wheels can turn freely and regain grip.
Operating fault
Illumination of this warning lamp and the lamp in the deactivation button, accompanied by an audible signal and a message, indicate a fault with the system.
Reactivation
The systems are reactivated automatically each time the ignition is switched back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h). Below 30 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate them manually:
 Press this button.
The indicator lamp in the button comes on. The DSC and ASR systems no longer act on the operation of the engine and on the brakes in the event of a involuntary change of trajectory.
 Press this button again. Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of grip permits.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.
