Manual operation
F Operate the "+" or " -" steering mounted
controls.
Changing from one gear to another only
occurs if the vehicle speed and engine
speed conditions allow; other wise the
gearbox will operate temporarily in
automatic mode. 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.
On sharp acceleration, the gearbox will
not change up unless the driver acts on
the steering mounted paddles.
Never select neutral N while the vehicle is
moving.
Only engage reverse gear R when the
vehicle is immobilised with the brake pedal
depressed.
Reverse gear
To engage reverse gear, the vehicle must be
stationary with your foot on the brake pedal.
At low speed, if reverse gear is requested,
indicator lamp N flashes and the gearbox
automatically shifts into neutral. To shift
into reverse, with your foot on the brake
pedal, shift the selector into N , then into R.

Stopping the vehicle
When immobilising the vehicle, with
the engine running, you must move the
selector to neutral N.
Before doing anything under the bonnet
ensure that the selector is in neutral N and
that the parking brake is applied.
Malfunction
With the ignition on, the flashing of A or
AUTO , accompanied by an audible signal and
a message, indicates a malfunction of the
gearbox.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
You must keep your foot on the brake
pedal while starting the engine.
In all parking situations, you must apply
the parking brake to immobilise the
vehicle.
Before switching off the engine, you can:
-

m

ove to position N to engage neutral,
or
-

l

eave the vehicle in gear; in this case the
vehicle cannot be moved.
In both cases, you must apply the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.). 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.
Going into engine STOP
mode
For your convenience during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available
for a few seconds after coming out of
reverse gear.
The Stop & Start does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering, etc.
A slight delay between the vehicle
stopping and the engine cutting out may
be noticed.

Programming the alert
thresholds
The thresholds for triggering an alert determine
how you wish to be warned of the presence of a
vehicle moving or stationary ahead of you, or a
pedestrian in your traffic lane.
You can select one of three thresholds:
- "Distant ", to be warned early (cautious
driving).
-
"Normal ".
-
"Close ", to be warned later.
With audio system
In the " Personalisation-
configuration " menu, activate/
deactivate " Auto. emergency
braking ".
Then change the alert threshold.
With the touch screen
In the " Driving/Vehicle " menu,
activate/deactivate " Collision risk
alert and automatic braking ".
Then change the alert threshold.
Press " Confirm " to save the change.
Active Safety Brake
If the radar and the camera have
confirmed the presence of a vehicle
or a pedestrian, this warning
lamp flashes when the system is
operating. Important
: if operation of the
automatic emergency braking is
triggered, you should take back
control of your vehicle and brake
with the pedal to add to or finish the
automatic braking.
The driver can take back control of the vehicle
at any time by sharply turning the steering
wheel and/or pressing the accelerator pedal.
The point at which braking is triggered
may be adjusted depending on the driving
actions of the driver, such as movement
of the steering wheel or actions on the
accelerator pedal.
Operation of the system may be felt by
slight vibration in the brake pedal.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
the automatic braking is maintained for
1 to 2 seconds.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of
automatic emergency braking until the
vehicle comes to a complete stop, the
vehicle may stall.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event
of automatic emergency braking until the
vehicle comes to a complete stop, keep
the brake pedal pressed down to prevent
the vehicle from starting off again.
This function, also called automatic emergency
braking, aims to reduce the speed of impact or
avoid a frontal collision by your vehicle where
the driver fails to react.
Using a radar and a camera, this system acts
on the vehicle's braking system.

Passenger compartment filter
Refer to the manufacturer's
ser vice schedule for details of
the replacement inter val for this
component.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle
(e.g. city driving), replace it twice as often if
necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment
filter may have an adverse effect on
the per formance of the air conditioning
system and generate undesirable odours.
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer’s
ser vice schedule for details of
the replacement inter val for this
component.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle
filter is indicated by the temporary
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a message about
the risk of the filter clogging up. As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed
of at least 37
mph (60 km/h) until the
warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates
a low Diesel additive level.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell, which
is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the
environment.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Parking brakeIf excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be checked, even between two
services.
Checking this system must be done by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Brake padsBrake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
