When the ignition is on, a message appears   in   the   instrument   panel  
s

creen   to   indicate   a   gearbox   fault.
Operating fault
You risk damaging the gearbox:
- i f you press the accelerator and
brake
  pedals   at   the   same   time,
-
 
i
f   you   force   the   selector   from  
p

osition P to another position when
the
  battery   is   flat.
To
  reduce   fuel   consumption   when  
s

tationary   for   long   periods   with   the  
e

ngine   running   (traffic   jam...),   position  
t

he   gear   selector   at   N and apply the
parking
  brake,   unless   it   is   programmed  
i

n   automatic   mode.
In
 
this
 
case,
 
the
 
gearbox
 
switches
 
to
 
back-up
 
m

ode
 
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
 
d

amage
 
to
 
the
 
gearbox.

If your vehicle is fitted with the
system,
  a   time   counter   calculates
 t

he   sum   of   the   periods   in   STOP

-
 
t
he   driver's   door   is   open,
-
 
t
he   driver's   seat   belt   is   not   fastened,
-
 
t
he   vehicle   has   not   exceeded   6   mph  
(

10 km/h)   since   the   last   engine   start   (using  
t

Operating fault
This system requires the use of a 12 V battery of   specific   technology   and   characteristics  
(

reference   numbers   available   from   a   CITROËN  
d

ealer   or   a   qualified   workshop).
Fitting
  a   battery   not   listed   by   CITROËN would  
i

ntroduces   the   risk   of   faults   with   the   system.
Before
  doing   any   work   under   the  
b

onnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
system   to   avoid   the   risk   of   injury   related  
t

o   an   automatic   change   to   START  
m

ode.
The   Stop   &   Start   system   makes   use   of  
a

n   advanced   technology.   All   work   on  
t

his   type   of   battery   must   only   be   carried  
o

ut   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop.
In
 
the

Lane departure warning system
Activation
Deactivation
DetectionOperating fault
System which detects the involuntary crossing o
f   longitudinal   traffic   lane   markings   on   the  
g

round   (solid   or   broken   line).
Sensors,
  fitted   below   the   front   bumper,   trigger  
a

  warning   if   the   vehicle   drifts   over   a   lane  
m

arking   (speed   higher   than   50   mph   (80   km/h)).
This
  system   is   particularly   useful   on   motor ways  
a

nd   main   roads. In
  the   event   of   a   malfunction,   the  
s

ervice   warning   lamp   comes   on,  
a

ccompanied   by   an   audible   signal  
a

nd   a   message   in   the   screen.
Contact   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop.
The   lane   departure   warning   system  
c

annot   in   any   circumstances   replace  
t

he   need   for   vigilance   on   the   part   of   the  
d

river.
It
  is   necessary   to   observe   driving  
r

egulations   and   take   a   break   every  
t

wo hours. The
  detection   may   be   impeded:
- i f   the   sensors   are   dirty   (mud,   snow...),
-
 
i
f   the   markings   on   the   ground   are  
w

orn,
-

i
f there is little contrast between the
markings
  on   the   ground   and   the  
r

oad   sur face.
You
  are   warned   by   the   vibration   of   the   driver's  
s

eat   cushion:
-
 
o
n   the   right-hand   side,   if   the   marking   on  
t

he   ground   has   been   crossed   on   the   right,
-
 
o
n   the   left-hand   side,   if   the   marking   on   the  
g

round   has   been   crossed   on   the   left.
No
  warning   is   transmitted   while   the   direction  
i

ndicator   is   active   and   for   approximately  
2

0 seconds after the direction indicator is
switched
  off.
A
  warning   may   be   transmitted   if   a   direction  
m

arking   (e.g.   arrow)   or   non-standard   marking  
(

e.g.   graffiti)   is   crossed.

Blind spot sensors
This driving assistance system warns the driver of the presence of another vehicle in the blind
spot
  angle   of   their   vehicle   (areas   masked   from  
t

he   driver's   field   of   vision),   as   soon   as   this  
p

resents   a   potential   danger.
Operation

unning,   press   this   button   to   activate   the  
f

unction;   the   warning   lamp   comes   on.
