Manual mode
D and the gear engaged are displayed in the in strument pan el.
The
  gearbox   operates   in   auto-active  
m

ode,   without   any   action   from   the   driver.   It  
c

ontinuously   selects   the   most   appropriate   gear  
a

ccording   to   the   following   conditions:
-
 
o
ptimisation   of   fuel   consumption,
-

F Select position D .
For
 
maximum   acceleration,   without   touching  
t

he
 
gear
 
selector,   press   the   accelerator   fully  
d

own
 
(kick   down).   The   gearbox   changes   down  
a

utomatically   and   maintains   the   gear   selected  
u

ntil
 
the
 
maximum   engine   speed   is   reached.
When
 
braking,   the   gearbox   changes   down  
a

utomatically   for   more   effective   engine   braking.
When
 
you   take   your   foot   off   the   accelerator

ontrol   paddles   to   change   gear.
The
  gears   engaged   are   displayed   successively  
i

n   the   instrument   panel.
When
  stationary   or   at   very   low   speed,   the  
g

earbox   automatically   engages   1st
 g
e a r.
In
  manual   mode,   it   is   not   necessary   to   release  
t

he   accelerator   pedal   when   changing   gear.
The
  change   from   one   gear   to   another   is   only  
e

ffected   if   the   conditions   of   vehicle   speed   and  
e

ngine   speed   allow;   other wise   the   automatic  
l

aws   of   operation   are   imposed   temporarily.
If
  the   engine   speed   is   too   high   or   too   low,  
t

he   display   of   the   gear   selected   flashes   for   a  
f

ew   seconds,   then   the   new   gear   engaged   is  
d

isplayed.It
  is   possible   to   change   mode   at   any  
t

ime,   by   moving   the   gear   selector  
f

rom D to M   or   the   other   way   round.

Before switching off the engine, you can change   to   position   P or N   to   be   in   neutral.  
I

n   either   case,   apply   the   parking   brake   to  
i

mmobilise   the   vehicle,   unless   it   is   programmed  
i

n   automatic   mode.
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:
F
 
m
ove   the   gear   selector   to   position   P;   the  
a

udible   signal   stops   and   the   message  
d

isappears.
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
leaving
  your   vehicle. In the event of a fault with the
gearbox,
  the   service   warning   lamp  
c

omes   on   in   the   instrument   panel,  
a

ccompanied   by   a   message   and   an  
a

udible
 s
ignal.
In   this   case   the   gearbox   goes   into   back-up  
m

ode   and   stays   in   3
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
 
legal
 
speed   limits.
Have
 
it
 
checked
 
by
 
a
  CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w

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

Depending on the driving situation and your vehicle's   equipment,   the   system   may   advise  
y

ou   to   skip   one   or   more   gears.
You
  can   follow   this   instruction   without   going  
t

hrough   the   intermediate   gears..
Gear efficiency indicator
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most suitable gear.
T he   system   adapts   its   gear   change  
r

ecommendation   according   to   the  
d

riving   conditions   (gradient,   load, ...)  
a

nd   the   demands   of   the   driver   (power,  
a

cceleration,   braking,   ...).
The
  system   never   suggests:
-
 
e
ngaging   first   gear,
-
 enga

ging

everse
 g
ear.
The
  information   appears   in   the   instrument  
p

anel   in   the   form   of   an   arrow.
On
  vehicles   with   manual   gearbox,   the   arrow  
m

ay   be   accompanied   by   the   recommended  
g

e a r.
The gear engagement recommendations
must not be considered compulsory.
This is because the configuration of the
road, traffic density and safety remain
impor tant factors in the choice of the best
g e a r.
The
  gear   efficiency   indicator   system   does   not  
r

eplace   the   need   for   vigilance   on   the   part   of   the  
d

river.
With
  an   automatic   gearbox,   the   system   is   only   active   in   manual   mode.
On
  BlueHDi   Diesel   135   and   150   versions   with  
m

anual   gearbox,   in   certain   driving   conditions  
t

he   system   may   suggest   changing   into   neutral  
s

o   that   the   engine   can   go   into   standby   (STOP  
m

ode   with   Stop   &   Start).   In   this   case,   N is
displayed
  in   the   instrument   panel.Example:
This
  function   cannot   be   deactivated.

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP 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.
Operation
Going into engine STOP
mode
This indicator lamp comes on in the instrument panel   and   the   engine   goes   into   standby  
au

tomatically:

  at   speeds   below  
1

2   mph   (20   km/h),   or   vehicle   stationary  
(

with   PureTech   130,   THP   165   and  
B

lueHDi 100,   115   and   120   versions),   when  
y

ou   place   the   gear   lever   in   neutral,   and   you  
r

elease   the   clutch   pedal,
-
 
w
ith an automatic gearbox , with the
vehicle stationary, when you press the
brake
  pedal   or   place   the   gear   selector   lever  
a

t position N . Never
  refuel   with   the   engine   in   STOP  
m

ode;   you   must   switch   off   the   ignition  
w

ith   the   START/STOP   button.
For
  your   comfort,   during   parking  
m

anoeuvres,   STOP   mode   is   not  
a

vailable   for   a   few   seconds   after  
c

oming   out   of   reverse   gear.
The
  Stop   &   Start   system   does   not   affect  
t

he functionality of the vehicle, such as
for
  example,   braking,   power   steering...
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:
-  t he   driver's   door   is   open,
-
 
t

In this case, this indicator lamp flashes for   a   few   seconds   then   goes   off.
This operation is perfectly normal.

Speed limit recognition
This system allows the speed limit detected by t
he   camera   to   be   displayed   in   the   instrument  
pan

el.
Specific
  speed   limits,   such   as   those   for   heavy  
g

oods   vehicles,   are   not   displayed.
The
  display   of   the   speed   limit   in   the   instrument  
p

anel   is   updated   as   you   pass   a   speed   limit   sign  
i

ntended   for   cars   (light   vehicles).
The
  units   for   the   speed   limits   (mph   or  
k

m/h)   depend   on   the   country   you   are  
d

riving   in.
It
  should   be   taken   into   account   so   that  
y

ou   observe   the   speed   limit.
For
  the   system   to   operate   correctly  
w

hen   you   change   country,   the   units   for  
s

peed   in   the   instrument   panel   must   be  
t

hose   for   the   country   you   are   driving   in. The
  automatic   reading   of   road   signs   is   a  
d

riving   assistance   system   and   does   not  
a

lways   display   speed   limits   correctly.
The
  speed   limit   signs   present   on   the  
r

oad   always   take   priority   over   the  
d

isplay   by   the   system.
The
  system   cannot   in   any  
c

ircumstances   replace   the   need   for  
v

igilance   on   the   part   of   the   driver.
The
  driver   must   observe   the   driving  
r

egulations   and   must   adapt   the   speed  
o

f   the   vehicle   to   suit   the   weather   and  
t

raffic.
It
  is   possible   for   the   system   to   not  
d

isplay   the   speed   limit   if   it   does   not  
d

etect   a   speed   limit   sign   within   a   preset  
p

eriod.
The
  system   is   designed   to   detect   signs  
t

hat   conform   to   the   Vienna   Convention  
o

n   road   signs.
To
  maintain   correct   operation   of   the  
s

ystem:   regularly   clean   the   area   in   front  
o

f   the   camera.Principles
Using a camera at the top of the windscreen, this   system   detects   and   reads   speed   limit   and  
e

nd   of   speed   limit   signs.
The
  system   also   takes   account   of   information  
o

n   speed   limits   from   the   navigation   system
