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

ode
 
and
 
is
 
locked

may
 
feel
 
a

 
substantial
 
knock
 
when

and
 
from

This
 
will
 
not

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
Advice on installation
F If   you   have   to   fit   the   chains   during   a  j
ourney,   stop   the   vehicle   on   a   flat   sur face  
o

n   the   side   of   the   road.
F
 
A
pply   the   parking   brake   and   position   any  
w

heel   chocks   to   prevent   movement   of   your  
v

ehicle.
F
 
F
it   the   chains   following   the   instructions  
p

rovided   by   the   manufacturer.
F
 
M
ove   off   gently   and   drive   for   a   few  
m

oments,   without   exceeding   30   mph  
(50
  km/h).
F
 
S
top   your   vehicle   and   check   that   the   snow  
c

hains   are   correctly   tightened.
Use
 
only
 
the
 
chains

For more information on snow chains, contact a C ITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.It
  is   strongly   recommended   that   before  y
ou   leave,   you   practise   fitting   the   snow  
c

hains   on   a   level   and   dry   sur face.
The
 
snow
 
chains
 
must
 
be

only
 
t

o
 
the
 
front

They
 
must
 
never
 
b

e fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels.
Take  account   of   the   legislation   in   force  
i

n your country on the use of snow
chains
  and   the   maximum   running   speed  
a

uthorised. Avoid
  driving   with   snow   chains   on   roads  
t

hat have been cleared of snow, to
avoid
  damaging   your   vehicle's   tyres   and  
t

he   road   sur face.   If   your   vehicle   is   fitted  
w

ith   alloy   wheels,   check   that   no   part   of  
t

he   chain   or   its   fixings   is   in   contact   with  
t

he   wheel   rim.
