The indicator light for the button goes off.In manual mode it is not necessary to
release the accelerator pedal when
changing gear.
It is only possible to change from one gear
to another if the vehicle speed and engine
speed permit.
If the engine speed is too low or too
high, the selected gear flashes for a few
seconds, then the actual activated gear 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. Depending on the road configuration
(example: mountain road), manual
operation is preferable.
This is because automatic operation may
not be best suited, not allowing the use of
engine braking.

a choice between the comfort of fully automatic
operation and manual gear changing.
Two driving modes are available:
-
a
utomatic operation for automatic control
of the gears by the gearbox, without any
action on the part of the driver,
-

man
ual operation for sequential gear
changing by the driver using the steering
mounted paddles.
With automatic operation, you can temporarily
take over control of gear changing at any time.

mode, without any inter vention on the part
of the driver. It continuously selects the most
suitable gear according to the following
parameters:
-

-

p
rofile of the road. For optimum acceleration,
for example when overtaking
another vehicle, depress the
accelerator pedal firmly past the
point of resistance.
Temporary manual control of
gear changes

lamp comes on the instrument
panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message
"Foot on brake", depress the
brake pedal firmly. You can temporarily
take over control of gear
changes using the " +" and " -" steering mounted
controls. If the engine speed allows, the gear
change is carried out.
This function allows you to anticipate certain
situations, such as overtaking another vehicle
or approaching a bend in the road.
After a few moments with no action on the
control paddles, the gearbox returns to
automatic operation.

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.

system, this warning lamp flashes in
the instrument panel.
The indicator lamp in this button
flashes and a message appears,
accompanied by an audible signal. Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If a fault occurs 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

The speed of your vehicle.
B. Cruise control/speed limiter information.
C. If your vehicle is so equipped, inter-
vehicle distance information, automatic
emergency braking alerts and navigation
instructions.
D. If your vehicle is so equipped, speed limit
information.
Driving on flooded roads
Before driving in a flooded area, it is
strongly recommended that you deactivate
the Stop & Start system.
For more information on Driving advice
,
particularly on flooded roads, refer to the
corresponding section.

In certain extreme weather conditions
(rain and/or snow, bright sunshine, etc.),
the head-up display may not be legible or
may suffer temporary interference.
Some sunglasses may hamper reading of
the information.
To clean the blade, use a clean, soft cloth
(such as a spectacles cloth or microfibre
cloth). Do not use a dry or abrasive cloth
or detergent or solvent products as these
could scratch the blade or damage the
anti-reflection coating.
This system operates when the engine is
running, and the settings are stored when
the ignition is switched off.Memorising speeds
This function allows speed settings to
be stored that will then be offered for
configuration of two systems: speed limiter
or cruise control.
You can memorise up to six speed settings for
each system.

Recognition of
speed limit signs and
recommendation
This system allows the speed limit detected by
the camera to be displayed in the instrument
panel.
Specific speed limits, such as those for heavy
goods vehicles, are not displayed.
The display of the speed limit in the instrument
panel is updated as you pass a speed limit sign
intended for cars (light vehicles).The units for the speed limits (mph or
km/h) depend on the country you are
driving in.
It should be taken into account so that you
obser ve the speed limit.
For the system to operate correctly when
you change country, the units for speed in
the instrument panel must be those for the
country you are driving in. The automatic reading of road signs is a
driving assistance system and does not
always display speed limits correctly.
The speed limit signs present on the road
always take priority over the display by the
system.
The system cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
The driver must observe the driving
regulations and must adapt the speed of
the vehicle to suit the weather and traffic.
It is possible for the system to not display
the speed limit if it does not detect a
speed limit sign within a preset period.
The system is designed to detect signs
that conform to the Vienna Convention on
road signs.
To maintain correct operation of the
system: regularly clean the area in front of
the camera.
Principles
Depending on equipment, the
system takes account of speed limit
information from the navigation
system mapping.
Depending on equipment, using a camera at
the top of the windscreen, this system detects
and reads speed limit and end of speed limit
signs.
Depending on equipment, the system takes
account of the camera and information from the
navigation system mapping.
