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.
This equipment will become available
during the year.
Gear shift indicator
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.

Starting and stopping
HILL START ASSISTANCE
This function, linked with the ESP,
makes hill starts easier and is activated
in the following conditions:
- the vehicle must be stationary, engine running, foot on the brake,
- the gradient of the road must be steeper than 5 %,
- uphill, the gearbox must be in neutral or in a gear other than
reverse,
- downhill, reverse gear must be engaged.
The HHC (Hill Holder Control) or Hill
Start Assistance function is a driving
comfort feature. It is not an automatic
vehicle parking function or an
automatic handbrake. Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal
pressed, from the time you release the
brake pedal you have approximately
2 seconds before the vehicle starts
to roll back and without using the
handbrake within which to move off.
During the moving off phase, the
function is deactivated automatically,
gradually releasing the braking
pressure. During this phase, the typical
noise of mechanical disengaging of
the brakes can be heard, indicating the
imminent movement of the vehicle.
Anomaly
The hill start assistance is deactivated
in the following situations:
- when the clutch pedal is released,
- when the handbrake is applied,
- when the engine is switched off,
- when the engine stalls.
If a malfunction of the
system occurs, this warning
light comes on accompanied
by an audible signal and
confi rmed by a message
on the display. Contact a CITROËN
dealer to have the system checked.
