Manual modeChanging to manual mode
Move the gear selector to M.
Automatic mode
Changing to automatic
mode
Move the gear selector to A.
The gearbox then operates in
automatic mode, without any action on
your part.
It constantly selects the gear that is
best suited to the following conditions:
-
driving style,
-

road profile,
-

optimum fuel consumption.
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.
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.
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

.

STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the
engine temporarily on standby - ST OP
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.
Perfect 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
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
release the clutch pedal,
-

with a 6-speed electronic
gearbox

, at speeds below 5 mph
(8 km/h), when you press the brake
pedal or put the gear lever into
position N. If your vehicle is fitted with the system,
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.
With a 6-speed electronic
gearbox, 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
braking, power steering, for example.
n
ever refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch off
the ignition with the key. Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
STOP mode is not invoked when:
-

the vehicle is on a steep slope
(rising or fallin

g),
-
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 on,
-
some special conditions (battery

charge, engine temperature, braking
assistance, ambient temperature...)
where the engine is needed to
assure control of a system.
In this case, the "ECO"
warning lamp flashes for a
few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.

, when you
fully depress the clutch pedal,
-

with a 6-speed electronic
gearbox:
●


gear lever in position
A or M,
when you release the brake
pedal,
●

or gear lever in position

the brake pedal released, when
you move the gear lever to posi-
tion A or M,
●

or when you engage reverse

.
With a manual gearbox in STOP
mode, if a gear is engaged without
fully depressing the clutch pedal, a
warning lamp comes on or a message
is displayed asking you to depress the
clutch pedal to restart the engine. Special cases: START invoked
automatically
For your safety and comfort, START is
invoked automatically when:
-

you open the driver's door
,
-

you unfasten the driver's seat belt,
-


the speed of the vehicle exceeds
15 mph (25 km/h) with a manual
gearbox or 7 mph (1

1 km/h) with
the 6-speed electronic gearbox
system,
-

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

"ECO"
warning lamp flashes for
few
seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.Deactivation
In certain circumstances, such as
the need to maintain a comfortable
temperature in the passenger
compartment, it may be preferable
to deactivate Stop & Start.
At any time, press the "ECO
OFF" switch to deactivate the system.
This is confirmed by the switch warning
lamp coming on accompanied by a
message in the screen.
If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately.
Reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again.
The system is active again; this is

Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction
with the system, the "ECO
OFF" switch warning lamp
flashes, then comes on
continuously.
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 warning
lamps in the instrument panel come
on. It is then necessary to switch off
the ignition and start the engine again
using the key. This system requires a specific
battery with a special specification
and technology (reference
numbers available from a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by
CITROËN
introduces the risk of
malfunction of the system.
The Stop & Start system
requires a battery of specific
characteristics. All work on this
type of battery must be done only
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
For more information on the 12 V
battery, refer to "Battery" in section 8. Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
system to avoid the risk of injury
related to an automatic change to
START mode.
Driving on flooded roads
Before driving through a flooded road,
it is strongly recommended that you
deactivate the Stop & Start system.
For more advice on driving, particularly
on flooded roads, refer to the
corresponding section.

HILL START ASSIST
Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal
pressed, from the time you release
the brake pedal, without using the
parking brake, you have approximately
2
seconds to move off before the
vehicle starts to roll back.
During the moving off phase, the
function is deactivated automatically,
gradually releasing the braking
pressure. During this phase, the
characteristic noise of mechanical
release of the brakes may be heard,
indicating the imminent movement of
the vehicle.
Operating fault
Hill start assist is deactivated in the
following situations:
-

when the clutch pedal is released,
-


when the parking brake is applied,
-


when the engine is switched of
f,
-

when the engine stalls. If a malfunction of the system
occurs, this warning lamp
comes on accompanied
by an audible signal and
confirmed by a message in
the screen. Have the system checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
This system (also called HHC - Hill
Holder Control), linked to the dynamic
stability control system, makes hill
starts easier and is activated in the
following conditions:
-


the vehicle must be stationary

,
engine running, foot on the brake,
-

the gradient of the road must be
steeper than 5%,
-


uphill, the gearbox must be in
neutral or in a gear other than
reverse,
-


downhill, reverse gear must be
engaged.
The Hill Start

Assist system is a driving
aid. It is not an automatic vehicle
parking function or an automatic
parking brake.
