s

elector   is   correctly   positioned.
To
  move   the   gear   selector,   switch   on  
t

he   ignition   or   start   the   engine.
If
  the   battery   is   not   sufficiently   charged,  
i

I

n   either   case,   apply   the   parking   brake   to  
i

mmobilise   the   vehicle,   unless   it   is   programmed  
i

If the lever is not in position P ,
  on   opening   the  
d

river's   door   or   approximately   45   seconds   after  
s

witching   off   the   ignition   there   is   an   audible  
s

ignal   and   a   message   appears:

Operating fault
Whenever parking, you must apply the parking brake   to   immobilise   the   vehicle,   if   automatic  
o

peration   has   been   deactivated.
Parking the vehicle
In all circumstances, ensure that the gear   selector   is   in   position   P before

rd gear. You may then feel a n
oticeable
 
jolt
 
when
 
going   from   P to R   and   from  
N

to R .
 
This
 
jolt
 
does
  not   present   any   risk   to   the  
g

earbox.
Do
 
not
 
exceed
 
60
 
mph   (100   km/h)   while   also  
o

bserving

speed   limits.
Have
 
it
 
checked
 
by
 
a
  CITROËN   dealer   or   a

 w

orkshop.
In the event of a battery failure, use the
chock
 
to
 
immobilise
 
the
 
vehicle.
