switch off.
In good or rainy weather, both day and
night, using the front fog lights and the
rear fog light is prohibited. In these
situations, the power of their beams may
dazzle other drivers. They should only be
used in fog or falling snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility to switch on the fog lights
and dipped headlights manually as the
sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light.
Do not forget to turn of the front fog lights
and the rear fog light as soon as they are
no longer necessary. Switching off the lights when the
ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of the
lights turn off immediately, except for
dipped beam if automatic guide-me-home
lighting is activated.
Switching on the lighting when
switching on the ignition
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate
the ring to the "0" position - lights off, then
to the desired position.
When the driver's door is opened, a
temporary audible signal warns you that
the vehicle's lighting is on.
The lighting, with the exception of the
side lights, switch off automatically after
a maximum duration of thirty minutes to
prevent discharging of the battery.

Electronic stability programme (ESC)
Electronic Stability Programming including the
following systems:
-
a
nti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-

-

w
heel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction
control,
-

ynamic stability control (DSC).
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
These systems improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contribute towards improved control in
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The electronic brake force distribution system
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. The effect of this is
a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and
an increase in braking efficiency.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
This system optimises traction in order to
avoid wheel slip by acting on the brakes of
the driving wheels and on the engine. It also
improves the directional stability of the vehicle
on acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required by the
driver, this system monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
The fixed illumination of this warning
lamp signals that there is a fault with
the ABS.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at moderate speed.
Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
Illumination of this warning lamp,
coupled with the STOP and ABS
warning lamps, accompanied by
the display of a message and an
audible signal, signals that there is a
fault with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD).
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Call on a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

sloping ground. After switching off the engine (position
1- Stop

can still use functions such as the audio and
communications system, the wipers, dipped
beam headlights, courtesy lights, ...
Never turn the ignition off before the
vehicle is at a complete stop. With the
engine off, the braking and steering
assistance systems are also cut off: risk
of loss of control of the vehicle.
When you leave the vehicle, keep the key
with you and lock the vehicle.
When opening the driver's door, an alert
message is displayed, accompanied by
an audible signal, to remind you that the
key is still in the ignition switch at position
1 (Stop) .
If the key has been left in the ignition
switch at position 2 (Ignition on) , the
ignition will be switched off automatically
after one hour.
To switch the ignition back on, turn the key

You can change mode at any time by
moving the gear selector from A to M or

For optimum acceleration, when overtaking
another vehicle for example, press the
accelerator pedal fully down, beyond the point
of resistance.
Manual mode
F Select position M .
Moving vehicle, never select the neutral N .
You can change mode at any time by
moving the gear selector from M to A or
the other way round. The gears engaged appear in turn in
the instrument cluster.
The shift requests are taken into account only if
the engine speed allows.
It is not necessary to release the accelerator
when changing gear.
When braking or slowing down, the gearbox
changes down automatically to allow the
vehicle to accelerate in the correct gear.
Under full acceleration, unless the engine is
close to its maximum speed, gear upshift will
only take place when the driver operates the
gear selector.

To engage reverse gear, the vehicle must be
immobilised with your foot on the brake pedal.

engine should be left at idle for four
minutes, to ensure the correct operation
and life of the engine and gearbox.

Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can
engage position P or N to place the gearbox in
neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle.If the selector is not in position P , when the
driver's door is opened or approximately
45 seconds after the ignition is switched
off, a warning message appears in the
screen.
F

R
eturn the selector to position P ; the
message disappears.
When driving on flooded roads or when
crossing a ford, proceed at walking pace.
Malfunction
or When the ignition is on, the lighting
of this warning light, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message
in the screen, indicates a gearbox
fault.
In this case, the gearbox goes into back-up
mode by staying 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
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible. There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
-

i
f you press the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time,
-
i
f you force the movement of the
selector from the P position to another
position when the battery is dead.
To reduce fuel consumption when at
a prolonged standstill with the engine
running (traffic jam, etc.), put the
selector in the N position and apply the
parking brake.
