A few definitions
Range
(miles or km)
The distance which can still be
travelled with the fuel remaining in
the tank (related to the average fuel
consumption over the last few miles
(kilometres) travelled). This value may vary following a
change in
the style of driving or the terrain, resulting
in a significant change in the current fuel
consumption.
When the range falls below 19 miles (30 km),
dashes are displayed. After filling with at least
5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is
displayed if it exceeds 62 miles (100 km).
If dashes are displayed continuously
while driving in place of the digits, contact
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
C alculated during the last few
seconds.
This function is only displayed from
19 mph (30 km/h).
Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
C alculated since the last time the
trip was reset.

heated separately. Do not use the function when the seat
is not occupied.
Reduce the intensity of the heating as
soon as possible.
When the seat and passenger
compartment have reached an
adequate temperature, you can stop
the function; reducing the consumption
of electrical current reduces fuel
consumption.
Prolonged use at the highest setting is
not recommended for those with sensitive
skin.
There is a risk of burns for people whose
perception of heat is impaired (illness,
taking medication, for example).
There is a risk of overheating the system if
material with insulating properties is used,
such as cushions or seat covers.
Do not use the function:

Never select position N while the vehicle
is moving. If position N is selected by
mistake while driving, allow the engine
to return to idle, then select position D to
accelerate.
Never select position P or R unless the
vehicle is completely stationary.
If you wish to engage reverse gear,
to prevent jolting, do not accelerate
immediately after selecting R.
Selection of position R is accompanied by
the sound of a
beep.
In the event of a
battery failure, you
must place the chocks supplied with the
vehicle tools against one of the wheels to
immobilise the vehicle.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,
never try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.Automatic mode
F Select position D .
D and the gear engaged appear in the
instrument panel.
The gearbox operates in auto-adaptive mode,
without any action by the driver. It continuously
selects the gear best suited to the following
parameters:
-
o

ptimisation of fuel consumption,
-

s

ehicle load.
For maximum acceleration without touching
the selector, press the accelerator fully down
(kick-down). The gearbox changes down
automatically or holds the gear selected until
the maximum engine speed is reached.
When 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.
Temporary control of gear
changing
You can temporarily take control of gear
changes using the steering mounted control
paddles " +" and " -". The gear change
instruction is acted on if the engine speed
permits.
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 mode
F Select position M .
F U se the steering mounted control paddles
" + " and " -" to change gears.
The gears engaged are displayed in sequence
in the instrument panel.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving very
slowly, the gearbox automatically selects gear 1 .
Driving

139
In sequential mode, it is not necessary to
release the accelerator pedal when changing
g e a r.
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.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the
gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then
the gear actually engaged is displayed.
Invalid value during manual operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).
You can change mode at any time by
moving the gear selector from D to M or
vice versa.
Stopping the vehicle
door is opened or approximately 45 seconds
a fter the ignition is switched off, an audible
signal sounds and a


message appears:
F

r
eposition the lever to position P ; the
audible signal stops and the message
disappears.
Whatever the parking circumstances, you must
apply the parking brake manually to immobilise
the vehicle if automatic operation has been
deactivated.
In all circumstances, ensure that the
selector is in position P before leaving
your vehicle.
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 immobilise the vehicle, unless it is
programmed to automatic mode.
If the lever is not in position P , when the driver's In the event of a
battery failure, use the
chock to immobilise your vehicle.
Operating fault
If the gearbox malfunctions, the
Ser vice warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, accompanied
by a
message and an audible signal. Do not exceed 62
mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or
a

qualified workshop.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may then
feel a

substantial jolt when changing from P to
R and from N to R . This jolt will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Gear efficiency indicator
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) gear(s). You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
Gear efficiency recommendations are for
information only. 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 mode.

The information appears in the
instrument panel in the form of an
ar row.
With a
manual gearbox, the arrow may be
accompanied by the gear recommended.
This arrow may be pointing up or down,
depending on the context.
The system adapts its gear efficiency
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 gear.
Stop & Start
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or
other, etc.). The engine restarts automatically –
START mode – as soon as you wish to move off
again.
Restarting occurs instantaneously, quickly and
silently.

"START/STOP" button. For your convenience, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available
for a
few seconds after coming out of
reverse gear.
The Stop & Start system does not modify
the vehicle's functions, such as, for
