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.
Never leave children unsupervised in
the vehicle when the engine is running.
When carrying out maintenance with
the engine running, apply the parking
brake and select position P .
If the parking brake does not release
automatically, check that the front doors
are fully closed.
Never select position n while the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless the
vehicle is completely stationary.
Automatic operation
F Select position d for automatic changing
of the six gears.
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any intervention 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 selector, 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 effective engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the
gearbox will not change to a higher gear for
safety reasons.
If position
n
is engaged inadvertently
while driving, allow the engine to
return to idle then engage position
d

to

accelerate.
If you do not press the brake pedal
when trying to move the gear selector
out of position P
, this warning lamp or

panel accompanied by a message,

of a message and an audible signal.

appear in succession on the
instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the
gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then
the actual gear engaged is displayed.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox selects gear 1
automatically.
It is not necessary to release the accelerator
when changing gear.
It is possible to change from position
d
(automatic) to position M (manual) at any time.
The sport and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode.
Sport and snow programmes

F Press button "S" , after starting the engine.
The gearbox automatically favours a dynamic
style of driving.

Snow programme " T"
F Press button " T", after starting the engine.
The gearbox adapts to driving on slippery
roads.
This programme improves starting and drive
when traction is poor.

F At any time, press the button selected again to leave the special programme
engaged and return to auto-adaptive mode.
These two special programmes supplement the
automatic operation in very specific conditions
of use.

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 selector
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 selector 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.
F

R
eturn the selector 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:
-

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

i
f you force the selector 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 selector at
n and apply the
parking brake, unless it is programmed
in automatic mode.

Gear efficiency indicator*
On vehicle fitted with a manual gearbox,
the arrow may be accompanied by the
gear recommended.The system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (slope, load,
...) and
the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking,
...).
The system never suggests:
-

e
ngaging first gear,
-
enga

ging reverse gear.
With an automatic gearbox, the system
is only active in manual mode.
* Depending on engine.
On BlueHDi Diesel 135 and 150 versions with
manual gearbox, in certain driving conditions
the system may suggest changing into neutral
so that the engine can go into standby (STOP
mode with Stop & Start). In this case,
n
is
displayed in the instrument panel. System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most appropriate gear.
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 must
not be considered compulsory. In fact, the
configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors when
choosing 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. Example:
-
Y ou are in third gear.
-

Y
ou press the accelerator pedal.
-

T
he system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear.
The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow.

Under-inflation alert
The aler t is given by the fixed illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal, and depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres,
the symbol or the message appears, according
to equipment, to identify it.

movements or harsh brake applications.
F

S
top as soon as it is safe to do so. The alert is maintained until the tyre or
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or a
steel rim) does not have a sensor.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of
the tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of the under-inflation
warning lamp accompanied by the
illumination of the service warning
lamp indicates a fault with the system.
This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels is not fitted with a sensor
(for example, a space-saver or steel
spare wheel).
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop
to have the system checked or,
following the repair of a puncture, to have the
original wheel, equipped with a sensor, refitted. In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.
F

I

f you have a compressor (the one in the
temporary puncture repair kit for example),
check the four tyre pressures when cold.
I

f it is not possible to check the tyre
pressures at the time, drive carefully at
reduced speed.


or
F

I

n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (according to equipment). Any tyre repair or replacement on a wheel
fitted with this system must be carried out by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If after changing a tyre, a wheel is not detected
by your vehicle (fitting snow tyres for example),
you must have the system reinitialised by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
