Stopping the vehicle
Malfunction
When the ignition is on, the lighting
of this warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message
in the screen, indicates 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. 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 position P to another
position when the battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when at
a prolonged standstill with the engine
running (traffic jam, etc.), put the
selector in position N and apply the
parking brake.
D disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succession in
the instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the
selected gear flashes for a few seconds, then
the actual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M (manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox engages first gear
automatically.
The sport and snow programmes are
inactive in manual mode. 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 keep
the vehicle stationary.
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 on the
screen.

message disappears.
When driving on flooded roads or when
crossing a ford, proceed at walking pace. Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.

Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning lamp accompanied
by illumination of the Ser vice warning lamp
indicates a fault with the system.
A message appears, accompanied by an
audible signal.
In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer assured.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.Before doing anything to the system,
the pressure of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.
Speed limiter
System which prevents the
vehicle from exceeding the speed
programmed by the driver.
Once the speed limit is reached, the
accelerator pedal no longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched on manually:
it requires a programmed speed of at least
20

mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off by manual
operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly.
To return to the set speed, simply slow down to
a speed below the programmed speed.
The set speed remains in the system memory
when the ignition is switched off.
The speed limiter cannot in any
circumstances replace the need to respect
speed limits, or the vigilance of the driver.

programmed speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal in order to
exceed the programmed speed will have
no effect unless you press the pedal firmly
beyond the point of resistance .
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the programmed speed, which is still
displayed, flashes, accompanied by an audible
signal. Returning to the programmed speed, by means
of intentional or unintentional deceleration of
the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing
of the programmed speed and the audible
signal stops.
Exiting the limiter mode
F Turn thumb wheel 1
to the 0 position:
the speed limiter mode is deselected.
The display returns to the total distance
recorder.
Operating fault
In the event of a speed limiter fault, the speed
is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
