ect position R , D or M. If the parking brake does not release
automatically, check that the front
doors are fully closed.
When the engine is running at idle, with
the brakes released, if position R
, D or
M is selected, the vehicle moves even
without the accelerator being pressed.
Never leave children unsupervised in
the vehicle when the engine is running.
When carrying out maintenance with
the engine running, apply the parking
brake and select position P .
Automatic operation
F Select position D for automatic changing
of the six gears.
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any intervention on the part
of the driver. It continuously selects the most
suitable gear according to the style of driving,
the profile of the road and the load in the
vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without touching
the selector, press the accelerator pedal down
fully (kick down). The gearbox changes down
automatically or maintains the gear selected
until the maximum engine speed is reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide effective engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the
gearbox will not change to a higher gear for
safety reasons.
Never select position N while the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless
the vehicle is completely stationary.
If position N is engaged inadvertently
while driving, allow the engine to
return to idle then engage position D to
accelerate.
If you do not press the brake pedal when
trying to move the gear selector out
of position P
, this warning lamp or this
symbol appears in the instrument panel accompanied
by a message, flashing of the P symbol, the display of
a message and an audible signal.
F Check that the display in the instrument panel agrees with the position engaged.

appear in succession on the
instrument panel.
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 1
automatically.
It is not necessary to release the accelerator
when changing gear.
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M (manual) at any time.
The sport and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode.

Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, put the selector
in position P or N to place the gearbox in
neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle, unless it is programmed
to automatic mode.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.
F

R
eturn the selector to position P ;
the audible signal stops and the
message disappears.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen to indicate a
gearbox 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,
-

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 gear selector at N and apply the
parking brake, unless it is programmed
in automatic mode.

Under-inflation alert
The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of
the tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels is not fitted with a sensor
(e.g. a space-saver or steel spare
wheel).
The alert is maintained until the tyre or
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or
a steel rim) does not have a sensor.
The alert is given by the fixed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
and depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres,
the symbol or the message appears, depending
on equipment, to identify it.

Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of the under-inflation
warning lamp accompanied by the
illumination of the service warning
lamp indicates a fault with the system.
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop
to have the system checked or,
following the repair of a puncture, to have the
original wheel, equipped with a sensor, refitted.

n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).
Any tyre repair or replacement on a wheel
fitted with this system must be carried out by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If after changing a tyre, a wheel is not detected
by your vehicle (e.g. fitting snow tyres),
you must have the system reinitialised by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.

Operating fault
In some cases, such as the maintaining of a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment, it may be useful to deactivate the
Stop & Start.
Deactivation can be requested at any time once
the ignition has been switched on.
If the engine is in STOP mode, it restarts
straight away.
The Stop & Start is reactivated automatically
each time the ignition is switched on.
Deactivation / Reactivation
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 put the gear
lever into position N and put your foot on the
brake pedal.
It is then necessary to switch off the ignition,
then restart the engine.
The Stop & Start requires a 12
V
battery with special technology and
specifications. All work on this type of
battery must be carried out exclusively
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
For more information on the 12 V
battery , refer to the corresponding
section. In the event of a malfunction with
the system, the "ECO OFF" switch
warning lamp flashes, then comes on
continuously.
