The information appears in the  instrument   panel   in   the  
form

  of   an   arrow.
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:
-
 
engaging
  first   gear,
-
 
engaging
  reverse   gear.
With
 
an
 
electronic
 
gearbox,
 
the
 
system
 
is

 
only
 
active
 
in
 
manual
 
mode.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
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).

 
Y
ou   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.

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.
Manual mode

your

 
part.
It constantly selects the gear that is
best
 
suited
 
to

HAZARD WARNING LAMPS
H
ORN
Press the centre of the steering wheel.
PARKING BRAKE
Applying
Pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise
  your   vehicle.
Check
  that   the   parking   brake   is   applied  
firmly

  before   leaving   the   vehicle.Pull
  on   the   parking   brake   lever,   only
with the vehicle stationary.
In the exceptional case of use of the
parking
  brake   when   the   vehicle   is  
moving,

  apply   the   brake   by   pulling  
gently

  to   avoid   locking   the   rear   wheels  
(risk

  of   skidding).
Press this button, the direction
indicators
 
flash.
They
 
can
 
operate
 
with
 
the
 
ignition
 
off.
The
 
hazard
 
warning
 
lamps
 
should
 
only
 
be used in dangerous situations, when
stopping

 
in
 
an
 
emergency
 
or
 
when
 
driving

 
in
 
unusual
 
conditions.
When
  parking   on   a   slope,   direct   your  
wheels

  towards   the   pavement   and   pull  
the

  parking   brake   lever   up.
There is no advantage in engaging
a
  gear   after   parking   the   vehicle,  
particularly

  if   the   vehicle   is   loaded.
If the parking brake is still on or has not been released properly, this is
indicated
  by   this   warning   lamp   which
 comes

  on   on   the   instrument   panel.
Automatic operation of hazard
warning lamps
When braking in an emergency, depending on the force of deceleration,
the  hazard   warning   lamps   come  
on

  automatically.  
They
  switch   off  
automatically

  the   first   time   you  
accelerate.
It

  is   also   possible   to   switch   them   off   by  
pressing

  the   switch   on   the   dashboard.Releasing
Pull the lever up slightly and press the
button  to   lower   the   parking   brake   lever.

Operation
When your vehicle is too close to or
approaches the vehicle ahead too
quickly  the   system   automatically  
applies

  the   brakes   to   avoid   a   collision.
You are then alerted by the display of a
message.
The
  brake   lamps   on   your   vehicle   come  
on

  to   warn   other   road   users.
The collision can be avoided
automatically
  if   the   difference   in  
speed between your vehicle and the
vehicle

  ahead   does   not   exceed   9   mph  
(15 km/h).
Above

  this   threshold,   the   system   will  
do what is possible to avoid or reduce
the accident by lowering the speed of
impact.
The

  automatic   braking   may   bring  
the

  vehicle   to   a   complete   stop   if   the  
situation

  requires   it.
In this case, the vehicle is held
stationary
  temporarily   (for   about  
1.5 seconds)

  to   allow   the   driver   to   take  
back

  control   by   pressing   the   brake  
pedal. The

  triggering   of   the   system   may  cause the engine to stall, unless
the driver depresses the clutch
pedal
  quickly   enough   during   automatic  
braking.
During

  automatic   braking,   the  
driver can always obtain a higher
rate of deceleration than that
controlled

  by   the   system,   by   pressing  
firmly

  on   the   brake   pedal.
After
  an   impact,   the   system   is  
automatically

  put   out   of   service:   it  
no

  longer   operates.
You
  must   go   to   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
qualified

  workshop   to   have   the   system  
made

  operational   again.
Operating limits
The system only detects vehicles that are  stationary   or   moving   in   the   same  
direction

  as   your   vehicle.
It
  does   not   detect   small   vehicles  
(bicycles,

  motorcycles),  
pedestrians

  or   animals,   nor   non-
reflective
  stationary   objects.
The
  system   is   not   triggered   or   is  
interrupted

  if   the   driver:
-

accelerates strongly
-


or turns the steering wheel
suddenly

  (avoiding   manoeuvre).
In
  difficult   weather   conditions   (very  
heavy

  rain,   snow,   fog,   hail...),  
braking

  distances   increase,   which  
can

  reduce   the   ability   of   the   system   to  
avoid

  a   collision.
The
  driver   must   therefore   remain  
particularly

  vigilant.
Never
  leave   accumulations   of  
snow

  or   any   object   projecting  
above the bonnet or in front of
the

  roof:   this   might   fall   into   the   field   of  
vision of the sensor and generate a
detection.
