Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The remote control contains an electronic chip
which has a special code. When the ignition is
switched on, this code must be recognised in
order for starting to be possible.
A few seconds after switching off the ignition,
this system locks the engine control system,
therefore preventing the engine from being
started in the event of a break-in.
In the event of a fault, you are
informed by illumination of this
warning lamp, an audible signal and
a message on the screen. The vehicle will not start
; contact a CITROËN
dealer as soon as possible.

Engaging reverse gear
F Raise the ring under the knob and move the gear lever to the left then for wards.
Only engage reverse gear when the
vehicle is stationary with the engine at
idle.
As a safety precaution and to facilitate
starting the engine:
-

a
lways select neutral,
-

p
ress the clutch pedal.
Gear efficiency indicator
(Depending on engine.)
This system helps reduce fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and the
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
skipping one or more gears.
Gear engagement recommendations are
only optional. In fact, the configuration of the
road, the traffic density and safety remain
determining factors when choosing the best
gear. Therefore, the driver remains responsible
for deciding whether or not to follow the
system’s advice.
This function cannot be deactivated. On certain BlueHDi Diesel versions
with manual gearbox, the system
may suggest changing into neutral


(N
is displayed in the instrument
panel) so that the engine can go
into standby (STOP mode of Stop &
Start), in certain driving conditions. 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.
Automatic gearbox
Automatic gearbox with 6 or 8 speeds, with
e lectronic management of gear changes. It
also offers a manual mode with sequential gear
changes via control paddles situated behind
the steering wheel.

If P is displayed on the instrument panel
but the selector is in another position,
place the selector in position P to allow
the engine to be started.
If position N is selected inadvertently while
driving, allow the engine to return to idle,
then select position D to accelerate.
When the engine is running at idle with the
brakes released, if position R, D or M is
selected, the vehicle moves even without
the accelerator being pressed.
Never leave children unsuper vised inside
the vehicle.
As a safety measure, never leave the
vehicle without taking your key or remote
control with you, even for a short time.
When carrying out maintenance with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
and select position P .
With an automatic gearbox, never try to
start the engine by pushing the vehicle.Automatic operation
F Select position D for automatic
changing of the gears. Never select position N while the vehicle
is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless the
vehicle is completely stationary.
Temporary manual control
of gear changes
It is possible to temporarily take control of gear
changes using the "
+" and " -" steering mounted
controls. The gear change instruction is acted
on if the engine speed permits.
This function allows certain situations to be
anticipated, such as overtaking a vehicle or
approaching a bend.
After a few moments with no action on the
controls, the gearbox returns to automatic
operation.
Self-sufficient traction
(moving without using the
accelerator)
This function facilitates manoeuvring of the
vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic
jams, etc.).
With the engine at idle, parking brake released
and position D , M or R selected, the vehicle
moves


as soon as you take your foot off
the brake pedal (even without pressing the
accelerator).
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any inter vention on the part
of the driver. It continuously selects the most
suitable gear according to the driving style, the
road profile and the load in the vehicle.
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 the accelerator pedal is sharply released, the
gearbox will not shift to a higher gear for safety
reasons.
Driving

149
As a safety measure (children on board),
never leave the vehicle with the engine
running and the doors closed.
Manual operation
F With the selector in position D,
press button M for sequential
changing of the 6
or 8 gears.
The indicator lamp 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 conditions permit. If the engine speed is too low or too
high, the selected gear flashes for a few
seconds, then the gear actually activated
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 (change down to a
lower gear).
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 (e.g.
mountainous road), manual operation is
preferable.
This is because automatic operation may
not be best suited, not allowing the use of
engine braking.
