In clear weather or in rain, both day and
night, lit rear fog lamps dazzle and are
prohibited.
Do not forget to switch them off when they
are no longer necessary.


Guide-me-home lighting

The temporary maintaining of the dipped

maximum of 210 seconds. Once this period
of time has elapsed, the lamps switch off
automatically.

, the lever is pushed
forwards.

Gearbox and steering wheel

ELECTRONIC GEARBOX

The five-speed electronic gearbox offers a
choice between the comfort of automated
operation or the pleasure of manual gear
changing.
This gearbox provides two driving modes:


- an automated mode for automatic control
of the gears by the gearbox and therefore
without any action on the part of the driver,

- a sequential mode for manual changing
of the gears by the driver using the gear
lever.
It consists of:


1.
a gear lever 1
on the centre console
for selecting the driving mode, reverse
gear and neutral or for changing gear in
sequential mode,

2.
a button 2
to activate or deactivate the
economy programme.


Gear lever gate

All movements of the gear lever are given
from the middle position.

N
: neutral.
With your foot on the brake, select this
position to start, by moving the gear lever to
the right and then forwards .

R
: reverse gear.
With the vehicle stationary, keep your foot
on the brake pedal and move the gear lever
to the right and then backwards.

M
+/-: sequential mode with manual gear
changing.
Make a long push to the left on the lever to
select this mode, then:


- push towards +
to change up,

- push towards -
to change down.

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 sequential mode used
before switching off the ignition remains
in memory when the vehicle is restarted.

Stopping - Starting on a slope

This gearbox is electronically controlled and
does not have a clutch pedal.

Do not use the accelerator pedal to
hold
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 2
nd
gear on slippery surfaces (2 nd press
on +).

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
down, the vehicle moves off quickly.

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
