Steering mounted controls



Changing the programmed speed

There are two methods of memorising a
speed higher than the previous one:

Switching the function off



- Place the ring in the
OFF
position or switch
off the ignition to switch
everything off.



Cancelling the programmed speed

When the vehicle becomes stationary, after
switching off the ignition, the system no
longer memorises a speed.


Operating fault

If the system does not operate correctly, turn
the ring to the OFF position and contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.


Good practice

When changing the programmed speed by
means of a maintained press, pay attention as
the speed can increase or decrease rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads or in heavy traffic.
Never engage neutral while the system is
operating.
In the event of a steep slope, the cruise
control cannot prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
In any event, the cruise control cannot
replace the need to observe the speed limits,
nor can it replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the driver.
It is advisable to leave your feet near the
pedals.
To avoid any jamming under the pedals:


- ensure that the mat and its fixings on the
floor are positioned correctly,

- never place one mat on top of another.
Without using the
accelerator:


- move the control up (+).
Each brief press increases
the speed by 1 mph (km/h).
Using the accelerator:


- exceed the memorised speed until the
speed required is reached,

- move the control up (+) for at least one
second, then release it.
To memorise a speed lower
than the previous one:


- move the control
down (-); the new speed
will be memorised
automatically.

A brief press decreases the speed by 1 mph (km/h). A maintained press decreases the speed
gradually. A maintained press increases the speed
gradually.
FIXED SPEED LIMITER

This function allows a fixed maximum speed
limit to be set for the vehicle (according
to version and only on the 1.3 HDi 75 hp
engine).
The maximum speed can be set to one of
4 pre-defined values: 56, 62, 68 or 80 mph
(90, 100, 110 or 130 km/h).

A label in the passenger compartment
indicates the presence of this function
and its setting.
This function cannot be deactivated or set
by the driver.

Mirrors and windows


ELECTRIC WINDOWS


Electric controls

The electric windows have a safety anti-
pinch function and are associated with one-
touch controls for lowering and raising.
From the driver’s seat, the controls placed
on the door operate the vehicle’s front
windows.
On the passenger’s side, the control
operates the passenger’s front window.


One-touch controls

An extended press on the control raises or
lowers the window completely.
Press the control again to stop the window.
Press the control briefly to start the
movement of the window.


Manual controls

Turn the window winder located on the door
trim panel.


Good practice

Always remove the key from the ignition
when leaving the vehicle, even for a short
time.
If the electric window meets an obstacle
during operation, you must reverse the
movement of the window. To do this, press
the control concerned.
When the driver operates the passenger
electric window controls, they must ensure
that no one is preventing correct closing of
the windows.
The driver must ensure that the passenger
uses the electric window correctly.

Be aware of children when operating
the windows.


REAR WINDOWS (COMBI)

To partially open the rear windows, tilt the
lever and push it fully to lock the windows in
the open position.

Gearbox and steering wheel



Moving off



You must press the brake pedal.
Start the engine; the gearbox changes into
neutral automatically.
the gear lever stays in the position selected
before switching off the ignition.

"N"
appears in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by an audible signal when you
release the brake pedal, to indicate that there
is a difference between the position of the gear
lever and the gear selected in the gearbox.
Select first gear (move the lever towards +
)
or reverse (position R
).

"1"
or "R"
appears in the instrument panel
screen.
Release the parking brake.
Remove your foot from the brake pedal and
then accelerate away.

The AUTO or manual mode used before
switching off the ignition remains in
memory when the vehicle is restarted.

Stopping - Starting on a slope

This gearbox is an electronic gearbox which
does not have a clutch pedal.

Do not use the accelerator pedal to
immobilise the vehicle on a slope, apply
the parking brake instead; failure to
follow this procedure can overheat the
clutch and damage the gearbox .
When moving off on a slope, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking brake.
It is also possible to move off in
2nd gear on slippery surfaces
(2nd press on le +).

Automated mode

Once you have moved off, you can switch to
automated mode by selecting position A/M
.

"AUTO"
and the gear engaged
appear in the instrument panel
screen.
The gearbox then operates in auto-active
mode, without any action on the part of
the driver.
It continuously selects the most appropriate
gear depending on the:


- vehicle speed,

- engine speed,

- accelerator pedal position.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain the
most suitable gear, avoid sharp variations in
the pressure on the accelerator pedal.
If you fully depress the accelerator pedal,
the gearbox changes down for sharper
acceleration. By rapidly pushing the accelerator fully
done, the vehicle moves off quickly.

Stopping the vehicle

To switch off the engine, with your foot on
the brake pedal, you should:


- select first gear or reverse.

- apply the parking brake to immobilise the
vehicle.

- switch off the ignition.
Temporarily changing gear in AUTO mode
You can also request a gear change using
the gear lever.
This action does not deactivate the
automated mode, but allows temporary
use of the sequential mode functions (for
example: for overtaking another vehicle...).

"AUTO"
remains displayed in the instrument
panel screen.

"ECO" economy programme
This programme works with the automated
mode to reduce fuel consumption.
Press button E
to activate the programme.


Sequential mode

After using the automated mode, you can
return to the sequential mode by selecting
position A
/ M
again.

"E"
appears in the instrument
panel screen, next to "AUTO"
and the gear selected by the
gearbox.
The gearbox then selects the best gear for
the speed of the vehicle, the engine speed
and the accelerator pedal position to reduce
fuel consumption.

"AUTO"
disappears and the
gears engaged appear in
succession in the instrument
panel screen.
It is not necessary to take your foot off the
accelerator pedal to change the gear.
The gear change requests are only carried
out if the engine speed permits it. The
system gives an audible signal if a gear
change is not possible.
At low speeds, when approaching a stop
or traffic lights for example, the gearbox
changes down to first gear automatically.



Release the brake pedal after the display
of the gear engaged has disappeared
from the instrument panel screen.
Never leave the vehicle with the
gearbox in neutral (position N
). In this
case, there is an audible signal on switching
off the ignition (ignition key in the STOP
position).

Reinitialisation

Turn the ignition key to the MAR
position.
Within ten seconds, the gear engaged should
appear in the instrument panel screen.
Otherwise, turn the ignition key to the
STOP
position and wait until the instrument
panel screen goes off.
Turn the ignition key to the MAR
position
again.
The illumination of this warning
lamp, accompanied by a message
in the instrument panel screen,
indicates incorrect use of the
gearbox by the driver.
With the ignition on, the flashing this warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and
a message in the instrument panel screen,
indicates a fault with the gearbox.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the problem persist, have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Never select neutral N
while the vehicle
is moving.
Only engage reverse gear R
with the vehicle
immobilised and the brake pedal pressed.
You risk damaging the gearbox if you
press the accelerator and brake pedals
simultaneously.

Back-up mode - Slow move off

This procedure should be applied if pressing
the brake pedal is not recognised by the
system, or if the gearbox has fault on
starting the engine.
Press the brake pedal firmly.
Turn the ignition key to the AV V
position for
at least seven seconds.
The engine starts.
The system is in back-up mode; the gearbox
will not go beyond the 3rd gear engaged and
automated mode is not available.
If the engine does not start, have the
system checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.




Operating fault

In the event of a prolonged stop with the
engine running, it is recommended that
the gearbox be put into neutral (position N
).
With the vehicle stationary, the engine
running and first, second or reverse
gear engaged, the gearbox changes
to neutral automatically, accompanied
by an audible signal, in the following
circumstances:


- no action on the accelerator or brake
pedals for at least 3 minutes,

- brake pedal applied for more than
10 minutes,

- driver's door opened and no action on the
accelerator or brake pedals for at least
1.5 seconds,

- a gearbox fault.


When towing your vehicle, ensure that
the gearbox is in neutral (position N
).

Gearbox and steering wheel



- with a manual gearbox
, with the vehicle
stationary, put the gear lever into neutral,
then release the clutch pedal,

- with an electronic gearbox
, with the
vehicle stationary, hold the brake pedal
down.
Special cases: STOP mode unavailable
The STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the driver’s door is open,

- the driver’s seat belt is not fastened,

- the heated rear screen is on,

- the windscreen wiper is on fast wipe,

- reverse gear is engaged,

- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature, particle
filter regeneration, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a system.
In this case, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by the "S"
warning
lamp, which flashes for a few
seconds, then goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.













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 restarts
automatically - START mode - as soon as
you want to move off. The restart takes
place instantly, quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions and offers the comfort of
complete silence when stationary.

Operation


Going into engine STOP mode
The "S"
warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby: Automatic stopping of the engine is
only possible after the vehicle has
exceed a speed of about 6 mph (10 km/h),
to avoid repeated stopping of the engine
when driving slowly.
In the STOP mode Stop & Start, hill
start assist is inactive.
Never leave your vehicle with out first
turning off the ignition with the key.

Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key.

Gearbox and steering wheel


Special cases: START invoked
automatically
The START mode is invoked automatically
when:


- the vehicle’s is free wheeling on a slope,

- the windscreen wiper is on fast wipe,

- the engine has been stopped for around
3 minutes with Stop & Start,

- some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a system.
Good practice
With a manual gearbox in STOP mode, if a
gear is engaged without fully depressing the
clutch pedal, restarting may not take place.
A warning lamp or message is displayed
in the instrument panel asking you to fully
depress the clutch pedal to allow restarting.
With the engine stopped in STOP mode,
if the driver unfasten’s their seat belt and
opens a front door, the engine can only
be restarted using the ignition key. This is
indicated by an audible signal, accompanied
by flashing of the service warning lamp and
a message in the instrument panel screen.
If following an automatic restart in START
mode, the driver takes no action on the
the vehicle during the next 3 minutes, the
system stops the engine definitively. The
engine can then only be restarted using
the key.

Going into engine START mode
The "S"
warning lamp goes off and
the engine starts:


- with a manual gearbox
, depress the
clutch pedal,

- with an electronic gearbox
:


●
gear lever in position A
or M
, release the
brake pedal,

●
or engage reverse gear.

In this case, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by the "S"
warning
lamp, which flashes for a few
seconds, then goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.
In STOP mode, moving the gear
lever on an electronic gearbox
starts the engine, in anticipation of
moving off.
If the engine stops automatically when
the vehicle is on a slope, as hill start
is only active with the engine running, it is
necessary to restart the engine by engaging
a forward gear and releasing the brake
pedal.
