ress this button to demist /defrost the
rear screen and (depending on version)
the door mirrors. The indicator lamp
associated with the button comes on.

the button switches off.
The control button is located on the heating or air conditioning system control panel.
Switch off the demisting/defrosting
of the rear screen and door mirrors
as soon as appropriate, as reducing
electrical power consumption results in
reduced fuel consumption.
With Stop & Start, when demisting has
been activated, the ST
oP m

available.
If the engine is switched off before the
demisting/defrosting is switched off
automatically, demisting/defrosting will

Installation of radio
communication
transmitters
before installing any after-market radio
communication transmitter, you can
contact a CITR
oËn

dealer for the
specification of transmitters which can
be fitted (frequency, maximum power,
aerial position, specific installation
requirements), in line with the Vehicle
Electromagnetic Compatibility
Directive
(2004/104/EC).
de
pending on the legislation in force in
the country, certain safety equipment
may be compulsory: high visibility
safety vests, warning triangles,
breathalyzers, spare bulbs, spare fuses,
fire extinguisher, first aid kit, mud flaps
at the rear of the vehicle.
by g

oing to a CITR
oËn

dealer, you can also
obtain cleaning and maintenance products
(interior and exterior) - including ecological
products in the "TECH
n

a
T

URE" range -
products for topping up (screenwash fluid...),
touch up pens and paint aerosols for the exact
colour of your vehicle, recharges (cartridge for
the temporary puncture repair kit...), ... The fitting of electrical equipment or
accessories which are not recommended
by CITR
oËn

may result in a failure of
your vehicle's electronic system and
excessive electrical consumption.

dealer
for information on the range of
recommended equipment and
accessories.

Under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres. The under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance
on the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
road holding, extends braking distances
and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous condition
(high loading, high speed, long journey).The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label.
See the "Identification markings"
section.
Tyre pressures should be checked
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of
less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to
the pressures shown on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.

Safety

Automated mode
AUTO and the gear engaged appear
in the instrument panel.
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any action on the part of the
driver. It continuously selects the most suitable
gear taking account of:
-
o

ptimisation of fuel consumption,
-

d

riving style,
-

r

oad conditions,
-

v

ehicle load.
For optimum acceleration, when overtaking
another vehicle for example, press the
accelerator pedal fully down, beyond the point
of resistance.
Temporary control of gear
changing
You can temporarily take over control of gear
changes using the steering mounted "+" and
"-"
control paddles: if the engine speed allows, the
gear change is carried out.
This function allows you to anticipate certain
situations such as overtaking another vehicle or
approaching a bend.
After a few moments without any action on the
paddles, the gearbox resumes control of gear
changing automatically.
Creep function
(depending on equipment)
This function allows the vehicle to be
manoeuvred more easily at low speeds (when
parking, in traffic jams...).
With the gear selector in position A , M or R,
the vehicle moves as soon as you take your
foot off the brake pedal , at low speed and
with the engine at idle.
do n

ot leave children unsupervised
inside the vehicle when the engine is
running.
You can change mode at any time by
moving the gear selector from A to M or
the other way round.
The creep function may be temporarily
unavailable if the clutch temperature is
too high or the slope too steep.
Never select neutral (position N) when
moving.

It is only possible to change from one gear to
another if the vehicle speed and engine speed
permit; other wise, the gearbox will operate
temporarily in automatic mode.
D disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succession in 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.
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M (manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1
automatically.
The sport and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode.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, you can
engage position P or N to place the gearbox in
neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle.
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, a warning
message appears in the screen.
F

R
eturn the selector to position P ;
the message disappears.
When driving on flooded roads or when
crossing a ford, proceed at walking
pace. When the ignition is on, the lighting
of this warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message in the
multifunction screen, indicates 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.
Contact a CITR
oËn

dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
Operating fault
There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
- i f you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,
-
i

f you force the movement of the
selector from the P position to
another position when the battery
is
flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when at
a prolonged standstill with the engine
running (traffic jam...), put the selector
in the N position and apply the parking
brake.
