In sequential mode, it is not necessary to
release the accelerator pedal when changing

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.

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.

If your vehicle is fitted with this system, a time
counter calculates the sum of the periods in
STOP mode during a
journey. It resets to zero
every time the ignition is switched on with the
"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
example, braking, power steering, etc.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition with
the "START/STOP" button.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available

a qualified workshop.
If a
fault occurs in STOP mode, the engine 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 press the brake pedal.
It is then necessary to switch off the ignition and
start the engine again using the "START/STOP"
button.
The Stop & Start requires the use of
a 12 V battery of special specification and
technology.
All work on this type of battery must be
carried out only by a
CITROËN dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
For more information on the 12
V batter y,
refer to the corresponding section.
Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid
the risk of injury related to an automatic
change to START mode. 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.
Tyre under-inflation
detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressure of the four
tyres when the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised after ever y tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change .
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a
drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres. The under-inflation detection system does
not replace the need for vigilance on the
part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a


long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres worsens
road-holding, lengthens braking distances,
causes premature wear of the tyres,
particularly in adverse conditions (heavy
loads, high speeds, long journeys).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
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.

Operation of the cruise control requires
a vehicle speed of at least 25 mph (40 km/h).
As well as engagement:
-

o
f third gear or higher with a manual
gearbox,
-

o
f second gear or higher in manual mode
with an automatic gearbox,
-

o
f position D with an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is paused manually by
pressing button 4
or pressing the brake pedal
or if the ESC system is invoked for safety
reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by depressing the accelerator
pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal until the
programmed cruise speed is reached again.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed setting.
The cruise control system cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need to obser ve speed limits, nor can it
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
It is recommended that you always keep your feet close
to the pedals.

The adaptive cruise control uses only
engine braking to slow the vehicle.
Consequently the vehicle loses speed
slowly, as when releasing the accelerator
pedal.
The regulation range is limited: there will
no longer be any adjustment of speed if the
difference between the programmed speed
setting and the speed of the vehicle in front
becomes too high (19 mph (30 km/h)).
If the difference between the programmed
speed setting and the speed of the
vehicle in front is too great, the speed
cannot be adjusted: the cruise control is
automatically deactivated.
General information
The adaptive cruise control is switched on
manually, it requires the speed of the vehicle
to be between 25
mph (40 km/h) and 93 mph
(150


km/h) and the engagement of:
-

t
hird gear or higher with a manual gearbox,
-

s
econd gear in manual mode with an
automatic gearbox,
-
position D with an automatic gearbox. If the cruise speed setting is above
93
mph (150 km/h), the adaptive cruise
control switches to standard cruise control
mode, without automatic regulation of the
inter-vehicle safety distance (a message
appears in the instrument panel).
The adaptive cruise control cannot in any
circumstances replace the obser vation of
speed limits, nor the need for the vigilance
on the part of the driver.
It is recommended that you always keep
your feet close to the pedals.
The adaptive cruise control can be paused
