In all circumstances, ensure that the
selector is in position P before leaving
your vehicle.
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 3
rd 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 62
mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
There is a risk of damage to 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, etc.), position
the selector on N and apply the parking
brake.
Gear efficiency indicator
(Depending on engine.)
This system reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one or more gears. You can
follow this indication without engaging the
intermediate gears.
Gear shift recommendations must not be
considered as compulsory. In fact, the road
layout, the traffic density and safety remain the
deciding factors when choosing the best gear.
The driver therefore remains responsible for
deciding whether or not to follow the indications
issued by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated. With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual operation.
The information appears in the
instrument panel, in the form of an
ascending or descending arrow and
the recommended gear.
The system adapts its gear shift
recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the
driver’s requirements (power, acceleration,
b r a k i n g , e t c .) .
The system never suggests:
-
e
ngaging first gear,
- enga ging reverse.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
t emporarily 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.
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.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Special cases: STOP mode
not available
In this case, this indicator lamp
flashes for a few seconds, then goes

Going into engine START
mode
With a manual gearbox, the Stop
& Start indicator lamp goes off in
the instrument panel and the engine
restarts automatically when you
press the clutch pedal fully down to
t h e f l o o r.
With an automatic gearbox , the Stop & Start
indicator lamp in the instrument panel goes off
and the engine restarts automatically when:
-
y
ou release the brake pedal with the gear
selector in position D or M ,
-
y
ou are in position N with the brake pedal
released and you move the gear selector to
position D or M,
-
y
ou engage reverse.
STOP mode is not activated with certain
temporary conditions (examples: battery
charge, engine temperature, braking
assistance, exterior temperature) to assure
correct operation of the system and mainly
when:
-
t
he vehicle is on a steep slope (rising or
falling),
-
t
he driver's door is open,
-
a s
liding side door is open,
-
t
he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-
t
he vehicle has not exceeded 6
mph
(10
km/h) since the last engine start by the
driver,
-
t
he electric parking brake is applied or being
applied,
-
t
he engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment, This operation is perfectly normal. -
d
emisting is active,
-
t
he exterior temperature is lower than about
0°C or higher than about 35°C.
When the vehicle speed is below 2 mph
( 3 km/h) or the vehicle is stationary
(depending on engine), this indicator lamp
comes on in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby automatically:
- With a manual gearbox , when you put the
gearbox into neutral and release the clutch
pedal.
-
W
ith an automatic gearbox , when you
press the brake pedal or put the gear
selector in position N . (minutes/seconds or hours/minutes)
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start, a time
counter adds up the time spent in STOP mode
during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on.

Speed Limit recognition
and recommendation
This function is a driving aid that cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the driver’s
own vigilance nor compliance with the
highway code.
The actual signs always take priority over
those suggested by the system.
The signs must comply with the Vienna
Convention on road signs.
This system displays the maximum authorised
speed in the instrument panel, according to
the speed limits in the country in which you are
driving, using:
-
S
peed limit signs detected by the camera.
-
S
peed limit details from the navigation
system mapping.
Brightness adjustment
F With the engine running, adjust the brightness of the information display using
button 3 :
-
t
he "sun" to increase the brightness,
-
t
he "moon" to decrease the brightness.
When stationary or while driving, no
objects should be placed around the
blade (or in its recess) so as to not impede
deployment of the blade and its correct
operation.
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. It is necessary to update your navigation
mapping regularly in order to receive
accurate information on speed limits from
the system.

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 aid 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
conditions.
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.
