4Driving

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.


)
Return the selector to position P
;
the message disappears.
When driving on flooded roads or when
crossing a ford, proceed at walking
pace.



Manual operation



)
Select position M
for sequential
changing
of the six gears.

)
Move the selector towards the +
sign to
change up a gear.

)
Move the selector towards the -
sign to
change down a gear.
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. This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).


D
disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succession in the
instrument panel.

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.

Invalid value during manual
operation
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 engages first gear
automatically. When the ignition is on, the lighting
of this warning lamp, accompanied

Operating fault
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 CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.

There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:


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

- if 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.

5Driving











Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into 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 off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect 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


For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering...

Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key. 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 you release the
clutch pedal.

- with a 5 or 6-speed electronic gearbox
,
when stationary or at speeds below 5 mph
(8 km/h) (depending on version), when
you press the brake pedal or put the gear
selector in position N
.

- with an automatic gearbox
, vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or you place the gear selector in position N
. 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. STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last engine start using
the key,

- the engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.


Special cases: STOP mode not
available
The "ECO"
warning lamp flashes for
a few seconds then goes off.

This operation is per fectly normal.
