without the accelerator being pressed.
Never leave children unsupervised in
the vehicle when the engine is running.
When carrying out maintenance with
the engine running, apply the parking
brake and select position P .
If the parking brake does not release
automatically, check that the front doors
are fully closed.
Never select position n while the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless the
vehicle is completely stationary.
Automatic
operation
F Select position d for automatic changing
of the six gears.
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any intervention on the part
of the driver. It continuously selects the most
suitable gear according to the style of driving,
the profile of the road and the load in the
vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without touching
the selector, press the accelerator pedal down
fully (kick down). The gearbox changes down
automatically or maintains the gear selected
until the maximum engine speed is reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide effective engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the
gearbox will not change to a higher gear for
safety reasons.
If position

AUTO disappears and the gears
engaged appear successively in the
instrument panel screen. The gear change instructions are only carried
out if the engine speed permits.
It is not necessary to release the accelerator
during gear changes.
When braking or slowing down, the gearbox
changes down automatically to permit
acceleration in the correct gear.
This selective gear change mode enables you
to overtake, for example, while still remaining in
automatic mode.

The gearbox engages the gear requested if the
engine speed permits. AUTO is still displayed
in the instrument panel.
After a few moments without any action on
the controls, the gearbox resumes automatic
control of the gears.
Manual mode
At very low speed, if reverse gear is
requested, this will only be taken into
account when the vehicle is immobilised
(foot on the brake). A warning lamp
appears in the instrument panel screen.
On sharp acceleration in manual mode,
the gearbox will not change up unless
the driver acts on the gear lever or the
steering mounted paddles.
Never select neutral

is moving.
Only engage reverse gear R when the
vehicle is immobilised with the brake
pedal pressed.

You must press the brake pedal when
starting the engine.
Whatever the circumstances, you must
manually apply the parking brake when
parking, unless the parking brake is
programmed in automatic mode.
When immobilising the vehicle, with
the engine running, you must place the

and that the
parking brake is applied.
Stopping the vehicle
With the ignition on, the flashing of
this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message
in the instrument panel screen,
indicates a malfunction of the
gearbox.
Before switching off the engine, you can
choose to:
-

Under-inflation alert
The alert is given by the fixed illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal, and depending on
equipment, the display of a message.

tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or a
steel rim) does not have a sensor.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of the
tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of the under-inflation
warning lamp accompanied by the
illumination of the service warning
lamp indicates a fault with the system.
This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels is not fitted with a sensor
(for example, a space-saver or steel
spare wheel).
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop
to have the system checked or,
following the repair of a puncture, to have the
original wheel, equipped with a sensor, refitted. In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.
F

I

f you have a compressor (the one in the
temporary puncture repair kit for example),
check the four tyre pressures when cold.
I

f it is not possible to check the tyre
pressures at the time, drive carefully at

n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (according to equipment). Any tyre repair or replacement on a wheel
fitted with this system must be carried out by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If after changing a tyre, a wheel is not detected
by your vehicle (fitting snow tyres for example),
you must have the system reinitialised by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

12 mph (20 km/h) or vehicle stationary with
the BlueHDi 115 and 120 versions, when
you place the gear lever in neutral and you

.I

f your vehicle is fitted with the
system, a time counter calculates
the sum of the periods in STOP
mode during a journey. It resets itself
to zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the START/STOP
button.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the START/STOP button. For your comfort, during parking
maoeuvres, 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...
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.

Operating fault
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall.
All of the instrument panel warning lamps
come on.
It is then necessary to switch off the ignition
and start the engine again using the "START/
STOP" button.Before doing any work under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
system to avoid the risk of injury related
to an automatic change to START
mode.
This system requires the use of a 12 V battery
of specific technology and characteristics
(reference numbers available from a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN would
introduces the risk of faults with the system.
Maintenance
The Stop & Start system makes use of
an advanced technology. All work on
this type of battery must only be carried
out by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.With the touch screen tablet system
A fault with the system is signalled in the
"dr iving" menu page.
With the control switch on
the
dashboard
In the event of a fault with the system, the
indicator lamp in the "EcO O
FF" control switch
flashes, then comes on continuously.
The symbol in the "E
cO

OFF!"
button changes to alert mode and
the indicator lamp flashes for a few
moments then remains on fixed. If you press this button to reactivate
the system, the indicator lamp flashes
again for a few moments then returns to
fixed illumination.

Lane departure warning system
System which, using a camera which
recognises solid or broken lines, detects the
involuntary crossing of longitudinal traffic lane
markings on the ground.
To provide safe driving, the camera analyses
the image then, if the driver's attention drops,
triggers a warning if the vehicle drifts over a
lane marking (speed higher than 50 mph
(80 km/h)).
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.
Activation
F Press this button, the indicator lamp comes on.
The lane departure warning system
cannot, in any circumstances replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
deactivation
You are warned by the vibration of the driver's
seat cushion:
-
o
n the right-hand side, if the marking on
the ground has been crossed on the right,
-

o
n the left-hand side, if the marking on the
ground has been crossed on the left.
No warning is transmitted while the direction
indicator is active and for approximately
20 seconds after the direction indicator is
switched
off.
detection - Alert Operating fault
The detection may be impeded:
-
i f the markings on the ground are
worn,
-

i
f there is little contrast between the
markings on the ground and the
road sur face,
-

i
f the windscreen is dirty,
-

i
n certain severe weather
conditions: fog, heavy rain, snow,
bright sunlight or direct exposure
to the sun (low sun, leaving a
tunnel,
...) and shade.

P

ress this button again, the
indicator lamp goes off. In the event of a fault, the indicator lamp in the
button flashes.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The status of the system remains in the
memory when the ignition is switched off. It is necessary to observe the driving
regulations and to take a break every
two hours.
