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 willresume next time the engine is switched on.

009
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
(depending on equipment)
This function allows the vehicle to bemanoeuvred more easily at low speeds (whenparking, 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 the
accelerator pedal fully down, beyond the pointof resistance.
You can change mode at any time by moving the gear lever from A to 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 certain situations such as over taking another vehicle or
approaching a bend.
After a few moments without any action on the paddles, the gearbox resumes control of gear changing automatically.

Manual operation
D disappears and the gears engaged appear in succession in the
instrument panel.
Invalid value during 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 only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle speed and engine speedpermit; otherwise, 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 P
or Nto place the gearbox in
neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
imm
obilise the vehicle. When the i
gnition is on, the lighting
of this warnin
g 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
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 theignition is switched off, a warning message appears in the 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 toanother 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. I
f the engine 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 chan
ge 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.

173Driving








Gear effi ciency indicator System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up.
With an electronic gearbox, the system is only active in Manual mode.

Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one
(or more) gear(s). You can follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations mustnot be considered compulsory. In fact, the configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors whenchoosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
- The s
ystem may suggest that you engage a
higher gear.
The in
formation appears in the instrument panel in the form of an arrow.
On vehicles with manual gearbox, the arrow can be accompanied by the recommendedgear.


The system adapts its gear change recommendation according to thedriving conditions (slope, load, ...) and the demands of the driver (power,acceleration, braking, ...). The system never suggests:


- engaging first gear,

- engaging reverse gear,

- engaging a lower gear.
Example:
- You are in third
gear.
- You press the accelerator pedal.

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.
