GEARBOX
5-speed - reverse gear gearbox

To change gear easily, always press
the clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedal:
- ensure that the mat and its fi xings on the fl oor are positioned correctly,
- never fi t one mat on top of another.
When driving, avoid leaving your hand
on the gear knob as the force exerted,
even if slight, may wear the internal
components of the gearbox over time. To engage reverse gear, wait until the
vehicle is stationary then push the gear
lever to the right then down.
The lever should be moved slowly to
reduce the noise on engaging reverse
gear. In order to drive as fuel
effi ciently as possible with a
manual gearbox, this indicator
lamp indicates to the driver to
change up.
The driver remains responsible for
deciding whether or not to follow this
indication, since the indicator lamp
comes on without taking into account
the confi guration of the road, the
amount of traffi c and safety factors.
The lighting of this indicator lamp
cannot be deactivated.
When reverse gear is engaged
and when changing down whilst
decelerating, the function is disabled.

6-SPEED ELECTRONIC GEARBOX SYSTEM
- automatic mode: gear lever in position A .
- manual mode: gear lever in position M .
For safety:
It is only possible to come out
of position N if the brake pedal is
pressed.
The change from position A (driving in
automatic mode) to position M (driving
in manual mode) or vice versa can be
made at any time. The warning lamp A
goes off in the instrument panel. Moving off
- To start the engine, the gear lever
must be in position N .
- Press fi rmly on the brake pedal.
- Operate the starter.
- When the engine is running, place the selector lever on R , A or M as
desired.
- Release the brake pedal and accelerate.
If the gear lever is not in position N ,
and/or if the brake pedal is not
pressed, the engine will not start.
Repeat the above procedure.
Mode selection Reverse gear

Engaging reverse gear
Move the gear lever to R .

Only attempt to select reverse gear
when the vehicle is stationary.

Changing gear
In situations of high engine speeds
(heavy acceleration), a change
up will not occur unless the driver
operates electronic gearbox system
lever.
Manual mode

Changing to manual mode
Move the gear lever to M .
Automatic mode

Changing to automatic
mode
Move the gear lever to A .
The gearbox then functions in
automatic mode, without any action on
your part.
It constantly selects the gear that is
best suited to the following conditions:
- driving style,
- road profi le,
- optimum fuel consumption. Pull on the "
+ " control
paddle to change up.
Pull on the " - " control
paddle to change down.
- If the vehicle stops or reduces speed (for example when
approaching a stop sign),
the gearbox changes down
automatically, to fi rst gear if
needed.
- It is not necessary to release the accelerator completely during gear
changes.
- A request to change gear is accepted only if the engine speed
permits it.
- For safety reasons, depending on the engine speed, a change down
may be performed automatically.

STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
When the vehicle is stationary, unlock
the steering wheel by pulling the lever.
Adjust the height and depth of the
steering wheel, then lock by pushing
the lever fully.
Vehicle stationary, with the
engine running
In the event of a prolonged stop with
the engine running, the gearbox
changes automatically to neutral
N .
Stopping the vehicle
Before stopping the engine, put the
gear lever in position N .
In all cases, it is essential to apply
the parking brake. Check that the
parking brake warning lamp is on in the
instrument panel.
Before doing anything in the
engine compartment, check that
the gear lever is in neutral N .
Acceleration
For optimum acceleration (e.g. to
overtake another vehicle), simply
press the pedal beyond the point of
resistance at the end of its travel, by
pressing down fi rmly.

Stop & Start
STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the
engine temporarily on standby - STOP
mode - during stops in the traffi c (red
lights, traffi c jams, or other...). The
engine restarts automatically - START
mode - as soon as you want to move
off. The restart takes place instantly,
quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise
level when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode The "ECO" warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel and the engine goes
into standby:
- with a manual gearbox , at speeds
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you
put the gear lever into neutral and
release the clutch pedal,
- with the 6-speed electronic
gearbox system , at a speed below
5 mph (8 km/h), when you press
the brake pedal or put the gear
lever into position N . If your vehicle is fi tted with the system,
a time counter calculates the sum of
the periods in STOP mode during a
journey. It rests itself to zero every time
the ignition is switched on with the key.
With the automatic gearbox
system, for your comfort during
parking maoeuvres, STOP mode
is not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch off
the ignition with the key. Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
STOP mode is not invoked when:
- the driver's door is open,
- the driver's seat belt is not
fastened,
- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph (10 km/h) since the last
engine start using the key,
- the parking brake is applied or being applied,
- the engine is needed to maintain a comfortable temperature in the
passenger compartment,
- demisting is active,
- some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature,
braking assistance, ambient
temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of
a system.
In this case, the "ECO"
warning lamp fl ashes for a
few seconds, then goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.

Stop & Start
Going into engine START mode
The "ECO" warning lamp
goes off and the engine starts:
- with a manual gearbox , when you
depress the clutch pedal,
- with the 6-speed electronic
gearbox system :

Checks To check the main levels
and certain components,
in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule,
refer to the pages of the servicing
booklet which correspond to your
vehicle's engine.
Bleeding the water contained in
the Diesel filter
Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Only use products recommended
by CITROËN or products
of equivalent quality and
specifi cation.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
system, CITROËN selects and offers
specifi c products.
In order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, high pressure washing
to clean the engine compartment is
strictly prohibited.
If this warning lamp comes
on, bleed the fi lter. Otherwise
bleed regularly each time the
engine oil is changed.
To drain the water, unscrew the bleed
screw located on the fi lter.
Operate until all of the water no longer
fl ows in the transparent pipe, then
tighten the bleed screw.
HDi engines use advanced technology.
All work requires special training, which
is assured by a CITROËN dealer.

Having your vehicle towed
Without lifting
(4 wheels on the road)
You should always use a towbar.
BEING TOWED From the front
- Unclip the cover by pressing the bottom part.
- Screw in the removable towing eye until it locks.
From the rear
- Unclip the cover using a coin or the fl at part of the towing eye,
- Screw in the removable towing eye until it locks. When towing with the engine
switched off, there is no braking or
steering assistance.
Lifting
(2 wheels on the road only)
It is preferable to raise the vehicle
using professional lifting equipment.
The towing eye is stored in the tool kit,
located under the right-hand seat.
Vehicles fitted with a manual
gearbox (diesel version)
In the case of vehicles fi tted with a
manual gearbox, the gear lever must
be in the neutral position, failure to
observe this special condition may
result in damage to certain braking
components and the absence of
braking assistance when the engine is
started again.
