Acceleration
For optimum acceleration (e.g. to overtake  another   vehicle),   simply  
press the pedal beyond the point of
resistance at the end of its travel, by
pressing

  down   firmly.
Vehicle stationary, with the
engine running
In the event of a prolonged stop with
the engine running, the gearbox
changes  automatically   to   neutral   N.
Stopping the vehicle
Before stopping the engine, put the
gear selector in position N.
In all cases, it is essential to apply
the
  parking   brake.   Check   that   the  
parking

  brake   warning   lamp   is   on   in   the  
instrument

  panel.
Before doing anything in the
engine
  compartment,   check   that  
the gear selector is in neutral

N.
Changing gear
In situations of high engine speeds
(heavy acceleration), a change
up will not occur unless the driver
operates the electronic gearbox control
paddle. Pull on the "+" control
paddle
  to   change   up.
Pull on the "-" control
paddle to change
down.
-

If the vehicle stops or reduces
speed

  (for   example   when  
approaching a stop sign),
the gearbox changes down
automatically

,   to   first   gear   if  
needed.
-


It is not necessary to release the
accelerator

  completely   during   gear  
changes.
-

a
gear change instruction is
accepted only if the engine speed
permits.
-


For safety reasons, depending on
the engine speed, a change down
may

  be   performed   automatically.

STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
  temporarily   on   standby   -   STOP mode

  -   during   stops   in   the   traffic   (red  
lights,

  traffic   jams,   or   other...).  
The
 
engine

  restarts   automatically   -   START
 mode

  -   as   soon   as   you   want   to   move  
of

f.  
The
  restart   takes   place   instantly,  
quickly

  and   silently.
Perfect 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
The "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
release the clutch pedal,
-


with
a 6-speed electronic
gearbox,
  at   speeds   below   5   mph  
(8

  km/h),   when   you   press   the   brake  
pedal or put the gear lever into
position

N. If
  your   vehicle   is   fitted   with   the   system,  
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.
With   a   6-speed   electronic  
gearbox,

  for   your   comfort   during  
parking

  manoeuvres,   STOP
 
mode  
is not available for a few seconds after
coming

  out   of   reverse   gear.

mode   does   not   affect   the  
functionality of the vehicle, such as

temperature...)

  where   the   engine  
is needed to assure control of a
system.
In this case, the
"ECO"
warning   lamp   flashes   for   a  
few

  seconds,   then   goes   off.

Going into engine START mode
The "ECO" warning lamp goes  off   and   the   engine   starts:
- with a manual gearbox , when you
fully depress the clutch pedal,
-

with
a 6-speed electronic
gearbox:
●

when
  you   release   the   brake

the
  brake   pedal   released,   when  
you

  move   the   gear   lever   to  
position

A or M,
●
 
or
  when   you   engage   reverse  
gear

.
With
  a   manual   gearbox   in   STOP
 mode,

  if   a   gear   is   engaged   without  
fully depressing the clutch pedal, a
warning

  lamp   comes   on   or   a   message  
is

  displayed   asking   you   to   depress   the  
clutch

  pedal   to   restart   the   engine.Special cases: START invoked
automatically
For
  your   safety   and   comfort,   START
 
is  
invoked

  automatically   when:
-
you open the driver's door
,
-
you unfasten the driver's seat belt,
-
the speed of the vehicle exceeds
15
  mph   (25   km/h)   with   a   manual  
gearbox

  or   7   mph   (11   km/h)   with  
the

  6-speed   electronic   gearbox  
system,
-

 
some
  special   conditions   (battery  
charge,

  engine   temperature,

"ECO"
warning
  lamp   flashes   for   few  
seconds,

  then   goes   off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Deactivation
At any time, press the "ECO
OFF" switch to deactivate the
system.
This
 
is
 
confirmed   by   the   switch   warning  
lamp

 
coming   on   accompanied   by   a

  in   the   screen.
If
 
the
 
system   has   been   deactivated

HILL START ASSIST
This system (also called HHC - Hill Holder
  Control),   linked   to   the   dynamic  
stability

  control   system,   makes   hill  
starts easier and is activated in the
following

  conditions:
-
 
the
  vehicle   must   be   stationary,  
engine

  running,   foot   on   the   brake,
-
 
the
  gradient   of   the   road   must   be  
steeper than 5%,
-

 
uphill,
  the   gearbox   must   be   in  
neutral or in a gear other than
reverse,
-

 
downhill,
  reverse   gear   must   be  
engaged.
The

  Hill   Start  
Assist
  system   is   a   driving  
aid.

  It   is   not   an   automatic   vehicle  
parking

  function   or   an   automatic  
parking

  brake.
Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal pressed,   from   the   time   you   release  
the

  brake   pedal,   without   using   the  
parking

  brake,   you   have   approximately  
2 seconds

  to   move   off   before   the  
vehicle

  starts   to   roll   back.
During
  the   moving   off   phase,   the  
function

  is   deactivated   automatically,  
gradually

  releasing   the   braking  
pressure.

  During   this   phase,   the  
characteristic

  noise   of   mechanical  
release

  of   the   brakes   may   be   heard,  
indicating

  the   imminent   movement   of  
the

  vehicle.
Operating fault
Hill start assist is deactivated in the
following   situations:
-

when the clutch pedal is released,
-

 
when
  the   parking   brake   is   applied,
-

when the engine is switched of
f,
-
 
when
  the   engine   stalls.
If
  a   malfunction   of   the  
system

  occurs,   this  
warning

  lamp   comes   on  
accompanied

  by   an   audible  
signal

  and   confirmed   by  
a

  message   in   the   screen.   Have   the  
system

  checked   by   at   a   CITROËN  
dealer

  or   a   qualified   workshop.

A FEW DRIVING
RECOMMENDA
TIONS
observe the driving regulations at all
times   and   remain   vigilant   whatever   the  
traffic

  conditions.
Pay
  close   attention   to   the   traffic   and  
keep

  your   hands   on   the   wheel   so   that  
you

  are   ready   to   react   at   any   time   to  
any

  eventuality.
On
  a   long   journey,   a   break   every   two  
hours

  is   strongly   recommended.
In
  difficult   weather,   drive   smoothly,  
anticipate

  the   need   to   brake   and  
increase

  the   distance   from   other  
vehicles.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving
on  flooded   roads,   as   this   could   cause  
serious

  damage   to   the   engine   or  
gearbox, as well as to the electrical
systems

  of   your   vehicle. If you are obliged to drive through
water:
-
 
check
  that   the   depth   of   water   does  
not

  exceed   15   cm,   taking   account  
of

  waves   that   might   be   generated  
by other users,
-
 
deactivate
  the   Stop   &   Start   system,
-
drive as slowly as possible without
stallin

g.   In   all   cases,   do   not   exceed  6
  mph   (10   km/h),
- do not stop and do not switch of f
the
  engine.
On
  leaving   the   flooded   road,   as   soon  
as

  circumstances   allow,   make   several  
light

  brake   applications   to   dry   the   brake  
discs

  and   pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle,
contact a CITR
o Ë n dealer or a
qualified
  workshop.Never
  drive   with   the   parking   brake  
applied

  -   Risk   of   overheating   and  
damage

  to   the   braking   system!
Do   not   park   or   run   the   engine   when  
stationary

  in   areas   where   inflammable  
substances

  and   materials   (dry   grass,  
dead

  leaves...)   might   come   into   contact  
with

  the   hot   exhaust   system   -   Risk   of  
fire!
n

ever leave a vehicle
unsupervised with the engine
running.   If   you   have   to   leave  
your vehicle with the engine running,
apply

  the   parking   brake   and   put   the  gearbox into neutral or position
N or P,
depending
  on   the   type   of   gearbox.
Important!
