Rear screen demist - defrost
Switching on
The rear screen demisting/defrosting can onlyoperate when the engine is running.)Press this button to demist/defrost the rear
screen and (depending on version) the door mirrors. The indicator lamp associated with
the button comes on.



Switching off

The demisting/defrosting switches off
automatically to prevent an excessiveconsumption of current.) It is possible to stop the demisting/defrosting operation before it is switchedoff automatically by pressing the button
again. The indicator lamp associated with
th
e button switches off. )
Switch off the demisting/defrosting of the rear screen and door mirrorsas soon as appropriate as lower current consumption results inreduced fuel consumption.


If the engine is switched off before the demisting/defrosting is switched off automatically, demisting/defrosting will resume next time the engine isswitched on.

Driving
This section describes the use of the parking brake, the manual,electronic or automatic gearbox, the gear shift indicator and Stop & Star t
to help reduce fuel consumption, hill start assist, the speed limiter to
avoid exceeding a programmed speed, cruise control to maintain aprogrammed speed, the rear parking sensors to detect obstacles.

Creep function
(6-speed electronic gearbox
system)
This function allows the vehicle to be manoeuvered more easily at low speeds (when parking, in traffic jams...).
With the gear lever in position A
, Mor R, the vehicle moves as soon as you take your foot off the brake pedal
, at low speed and
with the engine at idle.
Automated mode
AUTOand the gear engaged appear
in the instrument panel.
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without an
y action on the par t of the
driver. It continuously selects the most suitablegear taking account of:
- optimisation of fuel consumption,
- drivin
g style,
- road conditions,
- vehicle load. For optimum acceleration, when overtaking another vehicle for example, press theaccelerator pedal fully down, beyond the pointof resistance.
You can change mode at any time bymoving the gear lever from Ato M
or the other way round.

The creep function may be temporarilyunavailable if the clutch temperature istoo high or the slope too steep.

Do not leave children unsuper visedinside the vehicle when the engine is running.
)
Select position A.
Never select neutral (position N) whenmoving.


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 certainsituations such as over taking another vehicleor approaching a bend.
After a few moments without any action on the
paddles, the gearbox resumes control of gear changing automatically.

Manual operation
Ddisappears and the gears engaged appear in succession on the
instrument panel.
If the en
gine speed is too low or
too high, the gear selected flashes for a fewseconds, then the actual gear engaged isdisplayed.
It is possible to change from position D(automatic) to position M
(manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
ver
y slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1automatically.
The spor t and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode.
Invalid value during manualoperation
)Select position M for sequential
changing
of the four gears. )Push the lever towards the + sign
to change up a gear.)Pull the lever towards the - sign to changedown a gear.
It is only possible to change from one gear to
another if the vehicle speed and engine speedpermit; other wise, the gearbox will operate
temporarily in automatic mode. This s
ymbol 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 Nto place the gearbox inneutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle. When the i
gnition is on, the lighting
of 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 R
and 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
wor
kshop as soon as possible.

Operating fault
If the lever is not in position P,P
when the driver's door is opened or approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switched off, a message appears in the multifunction screen. )Return the lever to position P
; the message disappears.

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 Pposition to another position when the battery is flat.
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 parking brake.

Stop & Start The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...).
The engine restar ts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restar t takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per
fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
For your comfor t, during parkingmanoeuvres, 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...
Never refuel with the engine in STOPmode; you must switch off the ignition with the key. Th
e "ECO"warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the engine goes into standby:
- 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.
A time counter calculates the sum
of the periods in STOP mode
during a journey. It rests itself
to zero every time the ignition is switched on with the key.
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 acomfortable 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.


Special cases: STOP mode not available

The "ECO"warning lamp flashes for
a few seconds then goes off.
This operation is per fectly normal.

Identifi cation markings
A. Vehicle identification number (VIN) under
the bonnet.This number is engraved on the bodywork near
the passenger compar tment filter.
B. Vehicle identification number on the dashboard.This number is indicated on a self-adhesive label which is visible through the windscreen.

This label is affixed to the left hand centre pillar.

Wheels which are fitted with 205/45 R17 tyres cannot be fitted with snow chains. For more information, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Low tyre pressures increase fuelconsumption.

The tyre pressures must be checked when the tyres are cold, at least oncea month.
C. Manufacturer's label.
The VIN is indicated on a self-destroying label
affixed to the left hand centre pillar.
It bears the
following information:


- the tyre pressures, for unladen and laden conditions,

- the wheel rim and tyre sizes,

- the brands of tyre recommended by the manufacturer,

- the spare tyre inflation pressure,

- the paint colour code.
