t is possible to return to
automatic operation at any time
by pressing button M again.
It is only possible to change from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed
and engine speed permit.
Manual operation
If the engine speed is too low or too
high, the gear selected flashes for
a few seconds, then the actual gear
engaged is displayed.
When the vehicle is stationary or
moving very slowly, the gearbox
selects gear M1 automatically. To save the brakes when descending
a steep incline, use engine braking to
reduce your speed (take your foot off
the accelerator pedal or change down).
Keeping the brake pedal pressed
continuously for long periods can
overheat the brakes, with the risk
of damaging the braking system or
making
it inoperative.
Only use the brakes when necessary,
to slow or stop the vehicle.
The indicator associated with the button comes on.
F Operate the "
+" or " -" steering mounted
control paddle. The indicator associated with the button
goes
off.
Depending on the configuration of the
road (for example: mountain pass),
it may be preferable to use manual
operation.
This is because automatic operation
may not be best suited, not allowing the
use of engine braking.

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.

selector is in position P before leaving
your vehicle. On a steep slope with a loaded
vehicle, press the brake pedal
, select

Temporary manual control of
gear changes
You can temporarily take control of gear
changes using the " +" and " -" steering mounted
control paddles. The gear change instruction is
acted on if the engine speed permits.
This function allows you to anticipate certain
situations, such as overtaking another vehicle
or approaching a bend in the road.
Following a few moments with no action on
the control paddles, the gearbox returns to
automatic operation.
Manual operation
AUTO disappears and the gears
engaged are displayed successively
in the instrument panel.

takes place only if the conditions of
vehicles speed and engine speed
permit; if not, the automatic operation
laws are applied temporarily.

perate the "
+" or " -" steering mounted
control paddle. It is not necessary to release the
accelerator during gear changes.
When braking or slowing down, the
gearbox changes down automatically
to allow the vehicle to accelerate in the
correct gear.
On sharp acceleration, the gearbox will
not change up unless the driver acts on
the steering mounted paddles.
Never select neutral N when driving.
Only engage reverse
R with the vehicle
stationary and your foot on the brake.

Stop & StartGoing into engine
STOP mode
If your vehicle has a manual gearbox, its
speed must be below 12 mph (20 km/h) or
stationary (depending on engine); the "ECO"
indicator lamp comes on in the instrument
panel and the engine goes into standby
automatically when you place the gear lever in
neutral and you release the clutch pedal.
For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
Stop & Start does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering...
A slight delay between the vehicle
stopping and the engine cutting out may
be noticed.If your vehicle is fitted with
Stop & Start, a time counter
calculates the time spent in
STOP mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on.
Stop & Start time counter
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
t emporarily 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.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox
and the vehicle is stationary, the "ECO"
indicator lamp comes on and the engine goes
into standby automatically when you press
the brake pedal or place the gear selector in
position N .
If your vehicle has an electronic gearbox and
the vehicle's speed is below 5 mph (8
km/h),
the "ECO" indicator lamp comes on and the
engine goes into standby automatically when
you press the brake pedal or place the gear
selector in position N . (minutes / seconds or hours / minutes)
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP
mode; you must switch off the
ignition with the button.

Operating fault
Depending on your vehicle's equipment:
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall.
All of the instrument panel warning lamps
come on.
Depending on version, an alert message may
also be displayed, asking you to place the gear
lever in position N and put your foot on the
brake pedal.
With the vehicle stationary, you must switch off
the ignition and then start the engine again. The Stop & Start system requires a
12
V battery with a special specification
and technology.
The warning lamp in this button
flashes and a message appears,
accompanied by an audible signal. In the event of a fault with the
system, this warning lamp flashes in
the instrument panel. All work on this type of battery must
be done by a CITROËN or a qualified
workshop.
For more information on the 12 V batter y,
refer to the corresponding section.
