ELECTRONIC GEARBOX
Six-speed electronic gearbox which of-
fers a choice between the comfort of
fully automatic operation or the pleas-
ure of manual gear changing.
There are two driving modes:
- automated
mode for automatic
control of the gears by the gearbox,
without any action on the part of the
driver
- manual
mode for sequential gear
changing by the driver using the
steering mounted paddles.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as
the vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the
valve of a each tyres (except the spare
wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop
in pressure is detected in one or more
tyres.
The tyre under-infl ation detection sys-
tem is an aid to driving which does not
replace the need for the driver to be
vigilant or to drive responsibly.
This system does not avoid the
need to check the tyre pressures
regularly (including the spare
wheel) and before a long jour-
ney.
Driving with under-infl ated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and
causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous con-
ditions (vehicle loaded, high
speed, long journey).
Driving with under-infl ated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures for your vehi-
cle can be found on the tyre pres-
sure label (see the "Identifi cation
markings" section).
The tyre pressures must be
checked when the tyres cold
(vehicle stopped for 1 hour or
after driving for less then 6 miles
(10 km) at moderate speed).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the val-
ues indicated on the label.

The fl ashing and then fi xed
illumination of the under-infl a-
tion warning lamp accompa-
nied by the illumination of the
"service" warning lamp indi-
cates a fault with the system.
Operating fault
The alert is given by the fi xed il-
lumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal, and depending on equip-
ment, the display of a message.
Under-inflation alert
The alert is maintained until the
tyre or tyres concerned is rein-
fl ated or repaired.
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 fi tted
with a sensor.
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 steer-
ing movements or harsh brake ap-
plications.
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 equip-
ment),
or
if you have a compressor, the one in
the temporary puncture repair kit for
example, check the four tyre pres-
sures when cold,
or
if it is not possible to check the tyre
pressures at the time, drive care-
fully at reduced speed. In this case, monitoring of the tyre pres-
sures is not assured.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.

SPEED LIMITER
System which prevents the vehicle
from exceeding the speed programmed
by the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is
reached, pressing the accelerator ped-
al no longer has any effect.
The speed limiter 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. The functions of this system are
grouped together on the steering
mounted controls.

Operation
The speed limiter is switched on
man-
ually: it requires a programmed speed
of at least 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off
by
manual operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be ex-
ceeded temporarily by pressing the
accelerator fi rmly beyond the point of
resistance.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply release the accelerator pedal.
The programmed speed remains in the
memory when the ignition is switched
off.

Tyre under-infl ation detection
If the vehicle is fi tted with tyre under-
infl ation detection, the under-infl ation
warning lamp will remain on after the
wheel has been repaired until the
system is reinitialised by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
If after around 5 to 7 minutes the
pressure is not attained, this in-
dicates that the tyre is not repair-
able; contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop for as-
sistance.
Switch on the compressor by mov-
ing the switch B
to position "I"
until
the tyre pressure reaches 2.0 bars.
The sealant is injected into the tyre
under pressure; do not disconnect
the pipe from the valve during this
operation (risk of splashing).
Remove the kit and screw the cap
back on the white pipe.
Take care to avoid staining your ve-
hicle with traces of fl uid. Keep the
kit to hand.
Drive immediately for approximate-
ly three miles (fi ve kilometres), at
reduced speed (between 15 and
35 mph (20 and 60 km/h)), to plug
the puncture.
Stop to check the repair and the tyre
pressure using the kit.
