UNDER-INFLATION DETECTIONE
MISSIONS
 
CONTROLS
This system continuously 
monitors the pressures of 
the four tyres, as soon as 
the vehicle is moving.
E
o
B
d
 (European 
o
n Board d
iagnosis) is a diagnostics 
system which complies with, 
among others, the standards 
on the authorised emissions of:
-
 
CO (carbon monoxide),
-
 
HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
-
  no
x (nitrous oxides) or particles, 
detected by oxygen sensors placed 
upstream and downstream of the 
catalytic converters.
The driver is warned of any malfunction 
of this emission control system by the 
illumination of this specific warning 
lamp in the instrument panel.
There is a risk of damage to the 
catalytic converter. Have it checked 
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
a pressure sensor is located in the 
valve of each tyre (except the spare 
wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop 
in pressure is detected in one or more 
tyres.
The tyre under-inflation detection 
system is an aid to driving which 
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 
regularly (including the spare 
wheel) and before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres 
adversely affects road holding, 
extends braking distances and causes 
premature tyre wear, particularly under 
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded, 
high speed, long journey).
Driving with under-inflated tyres 
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle 
can be found on the tyre pressure 
label.
Refer to chapter 9, "Identification 
markings" section.
The tyre pressures must be checked 
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped 
for 1 hour or after driving for less then 
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the values 
indicated on the label.

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
System which reduces fuel 
consumption by recommending the 
most appropriate gear.
Operation
depending on the driving situation and 
your vehicle's equipment, the system 
may advise you to skip one (or more) 
gear(s). 
You can follow this instruction 
without engaging the intermediate 
gears.
The gear engagement 
recommendations must not be 
considered compulsory. In fact, the 
configuration of the road, the amount 
of traffic and safety remain determining 
factors when choosing the best 
gear. Therefore, the driver remains 
responsible for deciding whether or 
not to follow the advice given by the 
system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
With an electronic gearbox, the system 
is only active in manual mode. The system adapts its gear 
change recommendation 
according to the driving conditions 
(slope, load,
  ...) and the demands 
of the driver (power, acceleration, 
braking,
  ...).
The system never suggests:
-
 
engaging first gear
 ,
-
 
engaging reverse gear
 .
The information appears in 
the instrument panel in the 
form of an arrow.

Moving off
- To start the engine, the gear selector must be in position N.
-
 
Press firmly on the brake pedal.
-
 
Operate the starter
 .
-
 
When the engine is running, place 
the gear selector on 
R, A or M as 
desired.
-
 
Release the brake pedal and 
accelerate.
If the gear selector is not in position
  N, 
and/or if the brake pedal is not 
pressed, the engine will not start. 
Repeat the above procedure.
Reverse gear
Engaging reverse gear
Move the gear selector to R.
Only attempt to select reverse gear 
when the vehicle is stationary.
Neutral Changing to neutral
Move the gear selector to N. If the 
vehicle is moving, do not select this 
position even momentarily.
6-SPEED ELECTRONIC GEARBOx
- automatic mode: gear selector in 
position  A.
-
 
manual mode: gear selector in 
position 
M.
For safety:
It is only possible to come out 
of position N if the brake pedal is 
pressed.
The change from position A (driving in 
automatic mode) to position M (driving 
in manual mode) or vice versa can be 
made at any time. The warning lamp A 
goes off in the instrument panel.

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 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.

Reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again.
The system is active again; this is 
confirmed by the switch warning 
lamp going off and a message in the 
instrument panel.The system is reactivated 
automatically at every new start 
using the key.
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.
Maintenance
Before working under the bonnet, 
deactivate the Stop & Start system 
to avoid any risk of injury resulting 
from automatic operation of START 
mode.
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 makes 
use of advanced technology. All 
work on this type of battery must 
be done only by a CITR
o Ë n  dealer or 
a qualified workshop.
