going off,

- display of the message "Parking
brake off ".
If you pull the control lever A
without pressing

If necessary, you can make a maximum
application
of the parking brake. It is obtained
by means of a long pull
on control lever A
,
until you see the message "Parking brake
applied fully" and an audible signal is heard.

Maximum application is essential:



- in the case of a vehicle towing a caravan
or a trailer, if the automatic functions are
activated but you are applying the parking
brake manually,

- when the slope you are parked on may
vary (e.g. on a ferry, on a lorry, during
towing).



Maximum application


In the case of towing, a loaded vehicle
or parking on a gradient, make a
maximum application of the parking
brake then turn the front wheels
towards the pavement and engage a
gear when you park.
After a maximum application, the
release time will be longer.

Before leaving the vehicle, check that
parking brake warning lamps in the
instrument panel and the control lever A

are on fixed, not flashing.
With the vehicle stationary, to apply the parking
brake whether the engine is running or off, pull

control lever A
.


Manual application

The application of the parking brake is
confirmed by:


- illumination of the braking warning
lamp and of the P
warning lamp in
the control lever A
,

- display of the message "Parking
brake on".
When the driver’s door is opened with the
engine running, there is an audible signal and a
message is displayed if the parking brake has
not been applied, unless the selector lever is
in position P
(Park) in the case of an automatic
gearbox.


With your foot on the brake, select

the instrument panel screen.



With the engine running, press the brake
pedal.


Release the parking brake, unless it is
programmed to automatic mode.


Select position R
, D
or M
,


Gradually release the brake pedal.
The vehicle moves off immediately.


Moving off


When the engine is running at idle, with
the brakes released, if position R
, D
or
M
is selected, the vehicle moves even
without the accelerator being pressed.
When the engine is running, never
leave children in the vehicle without
supervision.
When carrying out maintenance with
the engine running, apply the parking
brake and select position P
.

If position N
is engaged inadvertently
while driving, allow the engine to
return to idle then engage position D
to
accelerate.

Never select position N
while the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P
or R
unless the
vehicle is completely stationary.



Automatic operation




Select position D
for automatic
changing
of the six gears.
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any inter vention on the part
of the driver. It continuously selects the most
suitable gear according to the style of driving,
the profile of the road and the load in the
vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without touching
the lever, press the accelerator pedal down
fully (kick down). The gearbox changes down
automatically or maintains the gear selected
until the maximum engine speed is reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide efficient engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the
gearbox will not change to a higher gear for
safety reasons.
If you do not press the brake pedal
when trying to move the gear lever
out of position P

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



Stopping the vehicle

Before switching off the engine, put the lever in
position P
or N
to place the gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle, unless it is programmed
to automatic mode.

If the lever is not in position P
, when the
driver's door is opened or approximately
45 seconds after the ignition is switched
off, there is an audible signal and a
message appears.



Return the lever to position P
;
the audible signal stops and the
message disappears.




Operating fault

When the ignition is on, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen to indicate 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 P

to R
and from N
to R
. This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
You risk damaging the gearbox:


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

- if you force the lever from position P

to another position when the
battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffic jam...), position
the gear lever at N
and apply the
parking brake, unless it is programmed
in automatic mode.

Reversing camera


A reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
The colour image is provided in the navigation
screen.
The green lines represent the general direction
of the vehicle.
The red lines represent around 30 cm beyond
the limit of your vehicle's rear bumper. The
audible signal becomes continuous from this
limit.
The blue lines represent the maximum turning
circle.

Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a sponge and a soft cloth.
When cleaning the vehicle with a high
pressure jet wash, keep the end of the
lance at least 30 cm from the camera.

This system is a driving aid that does not
replace the vigilance or the responsibility of the
driver, who must remain in control of the vehicle
at all times.

The sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are
switched on automatically, without any action on
the part of the driver, when a low level of external
light is detected or in certain cases of activation of
the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to a sufficient
level or after the windscreen wipers are switched
off, the lamps are switched off automatically.
