Manual mode
The gears engaged appear in
succession in the instrument
panel.
The
gear change requests are only carried out
if the engine speed permits.
It is not necessary to release the accelerator pedal during gear changes.
When braking or slowing down, the gearboxchanges down automatically so that the vehiclepicks up in the right gear.
Under full acceleration, the change up will not take place unless the driver operates thegear lever or steering mounted control paddle(unless the engine is close to its maximumspeed).


Te m p o r a ry control of gear changing

You can temporarily take over control of gear changes using the steering mounted "+"and "-"control paddles: if the engine speed allows, the gear change is carried out.
This function allows you to anticipate cer tain
situations such as over taking another vehicle or
approachin
g a bend.
After a few moments without any action on the
paddles, the gearbox resumes control of gear changing automatically.
Automated mode
AUTOand the gear engaged appear
in the instrument
panel.
The
gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive mode, without any action on the par t of thedriver. It continuously selects the most suitable gear taking account of:
- optimisation of fuel consumption,
- driving style,
- road conditions,
- v
ehicle load.
For optimum acceleration, when over takinganother vehicle for example, press theaccelerator pedal fully down, beyond the point of resistance.
You can change mode at any time bymoving the gear lever from Ato Mor the other way round.

Manual operation
)Select position M for sequentialchanging
of the four gears.)Push the lever towards the + sign tochange up a gear. )Pull the lever towards the -
sign to changedown a gear.
It is onl
y possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle speed and engine speedpermit; otherwise, the gearbox will operate
temporarily in automatic mode.
D disappears and the gears engaged appear in succession in the instrument panel.


Invalid value during manual operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).



Stopping the vehicle

Before switching off the engine, you can engage
position Por N to place the gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.

Operating fault
When the ignition is on, the lighting
o
f this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the multifunction screen, indicates a gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel
a substantial knock when changing from Pto Rand from N to R
. This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (10 0 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
To r e d u c e fuel consumption when at a prolonged standstill with the enginerunning (traffic jam...), put the gear lever in the Nposition and apply the parkingbrake.



There is a risk of damage to thegearbox:


- if you press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time,


- if you force the movement of the gear lever from the P
position to another position when the battery is flat.
If the lever is not in position P
, when the Pdriver's door is opened or approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switchedoff, a warning message appears in the screen.)Return the lever to position P; the message disappears.

If the en
gine speed is too low or too high, the gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then
the actual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change from position D(automatic) to position M (manual) at any time.When the vehicle is stationary or movingvery slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1automatically.
The spor t and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode.

The Stop & Star t system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic 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.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Star t system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.


Operation
-with a manual gearbox
, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), when you put the gear lever into neutral, and you release theclutch pedal.
-
with a 5 or 6-speed electronic gearbox
, at speeds below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press the brake pedal or put the gear lever
in position N .



Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby:
A tim
e counter calculates the sum
of the periods in STOP mode
during a journey. It rests itself
to zero every time the ignition isswitched on with the key.


Special cases: STOP mode notavailable
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 star t using the key,

- the engine is needed to maintain acomfor table temperature in the passenger compartment,

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...
) where the engine isneeded to assure control of a system.
The "ECO"
warning lamp flashes for a few seconds then goes off.
This operation is perfectl
y normal.











Stop & Start
Never refuel with the engine in STOPmode; you must switch off the ignition with the key.
For your comfor t, during parking manoeuvres, 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 for example, braking, power steering...

Running out of fuel
(Diesel)
If your vehicle is fitted with an HDI engine, the fuel system must be primed if you run out of
fuel.
This system consists of a priming pump and a
transparent pipe under the bonnet.
)Fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of Diesel. )Open the bonnet. )Depending on version, unclip the cover togain access to the priming pump.)Squeeze and release the priming pump until resistance is felt (could be from thefirst application) and fuel appears in the
transparent pipe with the green connector.)Operate the star ter until the engine star ts. )Depending on version, put the cover back in position and clip it in place.)Close the bonnet.
If the engine does not star t at the first attempt, do not try again. Operate the priming pump again, thenthe starter.
