ith your foot on the brake pedal, pull the
parking brake lever up gently, press the
release button then lower the lever fully. When parking on a slope, or on a steep
slope with a laden vehicle, turn the
wheels against the kerb then apply the
parking brake.
When the vehicle is being driven, this
warning lamp coming on, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message,
indicates that the parking brake is still
on or has not been fully released.
Pressing the brake pedal facilitates the
application and release of the manual
parking brake. If your vehicle has a manual gearbox,
engage a gear then switch off the
ignition.
If your vehicle has an automatic
gearbox, place the gear selector at
position P then switch off the ignition.
If your vehicle has an electronic
gearbox, place the gear selector at
position A then switch off the ignition.

Electronic engine immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic chip which has
a secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a few minutes
after the ignition is switched off and prevents
starting of the engine by anyone who does not
have the key.
In the event of a malfunction, you are informed
by a message in the instrument panel screen.
In this case, your vehicle does not start; contact
a CITROËN dealer if required.
For reasons of safety and theft
protection, do not leave your electronic
key in the vehicle, even when you are
close to it.
It is recommended that you keep it on
your person.

When the ignition is on, a message
appears in the instrument panel
screen to indicate a gearbox fault.
Operating fault
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode 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
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. You risk damaging the gearbox:
-
i
f you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time
(braking or acceleration must be
done only with the right foot),
-
i
f you force the selector from
position P to another position when
the battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffic jam...), position
the selector at N and apply the parking
brake.
Stopping the vehicle
A stiff point may be noticed when
moving to position P .
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, there is an
audible signal and a message appears.

Before switching off the engine, select
position
P then apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle. In all circumstances, ensure that the
selector is in position P before leaving
your vehicle. On a steep slope with a loaded
vehicle, press the brake pedal
, select
position

On sharp acceleration, as when
descending a steep hill, the speed
limiter will not be able to prevent
the vehicle from exceeding the
programmed speed.
The limiter is temporarily deactivated
and the displayed programmed speed
flashes.
An audible signal accompanies the
flashing of the programmed speed
when exceeding the speed is not due to
an action by the driver.
Flashing of the dashes indicates a fault with the
speed limiter.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Inter-vehicle distance
Using a radar with a range of about 100 metres,
located at the front of the vehicle, this system
detects a vehicle running in front of your
vehicle.
It automatically adapts the speed of your
vehicle to that of the vehicle in front.
If the vehicle in front is running more slowly,
the system progressively reduces the speed of
your vehicle using just engine braking (as if the
driver had pressed the " -" button).
If your vehicle is too close to, or approaching
too quickly the vehicle in front, the dynamic
cruise control is automatically deactivated.
The driver is then alerted by an audible signal,
accompanied by a message.
If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes
lane, the dynamic cruise control progressively
accelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed speed.
If the driver operates a direction indicator to
overtake a slower vehicle, the dynamic cruise
control allows your vehicle to temporarily
approach the vehicle in front to assist the
overtaking manoeuvre, though never exceeding
the programmed speed.
