Reverse
Engagement of reverse gear is accompanied b
y   an   audible   signal.
At
  low   speed,   if   reverse   gear   is   requested,   the  
N

 indicator   flashes   and   the   gearbox   goes   into  
n

eutral   automatically.   To   engage   reverse,   put  
t

he selector lever in position N , then position R.Before
  switching   off   the   engine,   you   can:
-  
m
ove   to   position   N   to   engage   neutral,
or
-  
l
eave   the   gear   engaged;   in   this   case,   it   will  
n

ot   be   possible   to   move   the   vehicle.
Stopping the vehicle
In both cases, if automatic operation of the e
lectric   parking   brake   has   been   deactivated,  
y

ou   must   apply the parking brake
 
by   pulling  
t

Before switching off the engine, you can change   to   position   P or N   to   be   in   neutral.  
I

n   either   case,   apply   the   parking   brake   to  
i

mmobilise   the   vehicle,   unless   it   is   programmed  
i

n   automatic   mode.
If the lever is not in position P ,
  on   opening   the  
d

river's   door   or   approximately   45   seconds   after  
s

witching   off   the   ignition   there   is   an   audible  
s

ignal   and   a   message   appears:
F
 
m

d

isappears.
Operating fault
Whenever parking, you must apply the parking brake   to   immobilise   the   vehicle,   if   automatic  
o

peration   has   been   deactivated.
Parking the vehicle
In all circumstances, ensure that the gear   selector   is   in   position   P before
leaving
  your   vehicle. In the event of a fault with the
gearbox,
  the   service   warning   lamp  
c

rd gear. You may then feel a n
oticeable
 
jolt
 
when
 
going   from   P to R   and   from  
N

to R .
 
This
 
jolt
 
does
  not   present   any   risk   to   the  
g

earbox.
Do
 
not
 
exceed
 
60
 
mph   (100   km/h)   while   also  
o

bserving
 
legal
 
speed   limits.
Have
 
it
 
checked
 
by
 
a
  CITROËN   dealer   or   a

For
  your   comfort,   during   parking  
m

anoeuvres,   STOP   mode   is   not  
a

vailable   for   a   few   seconds   after  
c

STOP
  mode   does   not   affect   the  
f

unctionality of the vehicle, such as for
example,
  braking,   power   steering...

Maintenance
This system requires a 12 V battery with a special   specification   and   technology   (reference  
n

umbers   available   from   CITROËN   dealers).
Fitting
  a   battery   not   listed   by   CITROËN  
i

ntroduces   the   risk   of   malfunction   of   the

For
  charging,   use   a   12   V   charger   and   do   not  
r

everse   the   polarity.
