manual release remains possible.
To ensure correct operation, and so
your safety, the number of successive
applications and releases of the parking
brake is limited to eight cycles.

Hill start assist

System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when
starting on a gradient, the time it takes to
move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
This system only operates when:


- the vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,

- in particular conditions on a slope,

- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist system cannot be
deactivated.

On an ascending slope, with the vehicle
stationar y, the vehicle is held for a
momentarily when you release the brake
pedal:



- provided you are in first gear or neutral on
a manual gearbox,

- provided you are in position A
or M
on an
electronic gearbox,

- provided you are in position D
or M
on an
automatic gearbox.

Operation


On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationar y and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held momentarily when you
release the brake pedal.




Do not exit the vehicle while it is being
held in the hill start assist phase.
If you need to exit the vehicle with
the engine running, apply the parking
brake manually then ensure that the
parking brake warning lamp (and the
warning lamp P
in the lever of the
electric parking brake) are on fixed (not
flashing).



Operating fault

If a fault in the system occurs, these warning
lamps come on. Contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked.

Invalid value during manual
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.

123Driving

You must press the brake pedal when
starting the engine.
Whatever the circumstances, you must
manually apply the parking brake when
parking, unless the parking brake is
programmed in automatic mode.

When immobilising the vehicle, with
the engine running, you must place the
gear lever in neutral N
.
Before carrying out any work in the
engine compartment, check that the
gear lever is in neutral N
and that the
parking brake is applied.



Stopping the vehicle

With the ignition on, the
flashing of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message
in the instrument panel screen, indicates a
malfunction of the gearbox.
Have it checked by CITROËN or a qualified
workshop. Before switching off the engine, you can
choose to:


- move to position N
to engage neutral,

- leave the gear engaged; in this case, it will
not be possible to move the vehicle.
In both cases, you should apply the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle.
