With the engine running and the brakes
released, if R, D or M is selected, the
vehicle moves off, even without pressing
the accelerator pedal.
Never press the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time – risk of damage
to the gearbox!
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.

Switching off the ignition
To switch off the ignition, the vehicle must be
stationary.
Changing to free-wheeling
To put the vehicle in free-wheeling mode, with
the engine switched off:
F

F

w
ithin 5 seconds, switch the ignition on
again,
F

ith your foot on the brake pedal, push the
selector for ward or back once to confirm N
and manually release the electric parking
brake,
F

s
witch off the ignition.
After this time limit, the gearbox engages mode
P ; it is then necessary to restart the procedure. If you open the driver's door while mode N
is engaged, an audible signal will sound. It
will stop when you close the driver's door
again.
Special aspects of automatic
mode
The gearbox selects the gear that offers
optimum per formance, taking account of the
exterior temperature, the profile of the road, the
load on the vehicle and the style of driving.
For maximum acceleration without touching the
selector, push the accelerator to the floor (kick-
down). The gearbox shifts down automatically
or holds the gear selected until the maximum
engine speed is reached.
The steering mounted controls allow the driver
to temporarily select a
gear, if the road and
engine speed permit.
Special aspects of manual mode
The change from one gear to another takes
place only if the road speed and engine speed
permit.

ccelerate progressively to automatically
release the electric parking brake.
The vehicle moves off immediately.
In severe wintry conditions (temperature
below -23°C), it is recommended that the
engine be allowed to run for a
few minutes
before moving off, to ensure the correct
operation and durability of the engine and
gearbox. If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,
never try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.
Stopping the vehicle
Whatever the state of the gearbox when the
ignition is switched off, mode P is engaged
automatically and immediately.
However, in mode N
, mode P will be engaged
after a
duration of 5 seconds (allowing for the
process of putting the vehicle to free-wheeling).
Check that mode P has been engaged and
that the electric parking brake was applied
automatically; if not, apply it manually.
The corresponding indicator lamps
in the selector and the electric
parking brake control lever must
be on, as well as those in the
instrument panel.
Operating faults
Gearbox operating fault
This is signalled by the illumination of
this warning lamp, accompanied by the
display of a message and an audible
signal, when the ignition is switched on.
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
w orkshop.
Do not drive faster than 62
mph (100 km/h),
keeping to the speed limit.
The gearbox switches to back-up mode: mode
D is locked in third gear, the steering-mounted
control paddles are inoperative, mode M is no
longer available. You may feel a
pronounced
jolt when engaging reverse. This does not
present any risk for the gearbox.
Selector operating fault
Minor malfunction
You are alerted by this warning lamp
lighting up, accompanied by the display
of a
message and an audible signal.
Drive cautiously and go to a CITROËN dealer
o r a qualified workshop.
In certain cases, the selector lamps may not
come on, but the state of the gearbox is still
displayed in the instrument panel.
Major malfunction

The vehicle stalls in STOP mode
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come
on if this fault occurs.The Stop & Start system requires a
12 V
battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work concerning the battery must be
carried out only by a
CITROËN dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
After the engine has restarted, STOP
mode is not available until the vehicle has
reached a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h).
During parking manoeuvres, STOP mode
is not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear or turning the
steering wheel.
The engine automatically restarts as soon as
the driver indicates the intention of moving off
again.
Tyre under-inflation
detection
This system automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
It compares the information given by the wheel
speed sensors with reference values, which

must be reinitialised ever y time the tyre
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a
drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.
Under-inflation detection does not replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
This system does not avoid the need
to regularly check the tyre pressures
(including the spare wheel) as well as
before a


long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres,
particularly in adverse conditions (heavy
load, high speed, long journey):

The inflation pressures defined for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section. Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done when the tyres
are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1
hour or
after a
journey of less than 6 miles (10 km)
at moderate speeds).
Other wise, add 0.3

shown on the label.

n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).
The alert is kept active until the system is
reinitialised.Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressure of one or more
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels.
F

U

sing a

compressor, such as the one in the
temporary puncture repair kit, check the
pressures of the four tyres when cold. Before reinitialising the system, make
sure that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and conform to the values written
on the tyre pressure label.
Check the pressures of the four tyres
before performing the reinitialisation.
The system does not advise if a
pressure
is incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must comply with the Highway
Code, must remain in control of the
vehicle in all circumstances and must be
able to retake control of it at all times. The
driver must adapt the speed to climactic
conditions, traffic and the state of the
road.
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly
check the traffic, to assess the relative
distances and speeds of other vehicles
and to anticipate their movements before
indicating and changing lane.
The systems cannot exceed the limits of
the laws of physics.
Switching off
F Press and hold this button to switch the camera off.
The indicator lamp in the button
goes off.
If you switch the camera off manually, it will
remain off even after the vehicle is restarted
and will have to be switched on manually.

Resetting the system
For safety reasons, the driver must not
use the CITROËN ConnectedCAM®
