DRIVING
11 4

Stopping - Starting on a slope


Do not use the accelerator pedal to im-
mobilise the vehicle on a slope, apply
the parking brake instead.
When starting on a slope, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking
brake.


Switching to sequential mode

Once you have moved off, you can
switch to sequential mode by selecting
position +/-
.

"D"
disappears and the gears engaged
appear in succession in the instrument
panel screen.
The gear change requests are only carried
out if the engine speed permits it.
Take your foot off the accelerator pedal
gently to engage the gear.

Switching to automated mode


Automated mode
After using the sequential mode, you
can return to the automated mode by
selecting position D
.

"D"
appears in the instrument panel
screen.
The gearbox then operates in auto-active
mode, without any action on the part of
the driver.
It continuously selects the gear most
suited to the conditions of:


- driving style,

- road characteristics,

- vehicle load.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain
the most suitable gear, avoid sharp
variations in the pressure on the accel-
erator pedal.

Auto sequential mode
In the automated mode, you can take
over control temporarily at any time using
the steering mounted controls.
The use of these controls permits manual
selection of the gears in situations which
require a faster changedown than that
offered in automated mode (arrival at a
roundabout, exit from a car park with a
steep gradient, overtaking...). Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you
can:


- move to position N
to leave the
gearbox in neutral.

- leave a gear engaged, such as fi rst
or reverse.
In both cases, you must apply the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle.
Operating anomaly

With the ignition on, if the message "Slow
down"
or "Maintenance required"
ap-
pears in the multifunction screen, this indi-
cates a gearbox malfunction.
When a message is displayed, carry
out the following operations:


- slow down and stop your vehicle in
a safe place,

- place the lever in position N
and let
the engine run,

- open the bonnet to allow the engine
to cool.
If the message disappears for a long
period, you can set off again.
If the message remains displayed or
appears frequently, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop without
delay.
Press the brake pedal fi rmly
while starting the engine.

Start the engine. "N"
appears in the in-
strument panel screen.

Select fi rst gear (position D
or +/-
) or reverse
(position R
).

Release the parking brake.
Release the brake pedal then accelerate.

"D"
or "1"
or "R"
appear in the instrument
panel screen. The gearbox engages the gear re-
quested if the engine speed permits it.
The gear engaged appears.
To return to the automated mode, press
the back of the "+/OFF"
control for ap-
proximately 2 seconds.
At low speeds, when approaching a
stop or traffi c lights for example, the
gearbox changes down to fi rst gear au-
tomatically.

Operating fault

Reverse gear
Flashing of the indicator R
in the instru-
ment panel screen, accompanied by an
audible signal, indicates a malfunction
on engaging the gear:
Press the brake pedal, position the gear
lever in position N
and engage reverse
gear again.

With the ignition on, if this warning
light comes on, accompanied by vi-
bration in the pedals and the message
"Maintenance required"
on the in-
strument panel display, this indicates a
gearbox malfunction.
If the message is displayed, carry out
the following operations:


- slow down and stop your vehicle in
a safe place,

- place the lever in position P
or N
,
apply the parking brake and let the
engine run,

- open the bonnet to allow the engine
to cool.
If the message disappears for a long
period, you can set off again.
If the message remains displayed or
appears frequently, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop without
delay.

Overheating of the engine may re-
sult in unwanted declutching of the
gearbox.

CHECKS
126

Bonnet stay

OPENING THE BONNET


To close
Lower the bonnet and release it at the
end of its travel. Check that the bonnet
is properly latched.


From outside:
move the safety catch
to the left then raise the bonnet. Secure the stay in its housing to hold
the bonnet open.
Before closing the bonnet, refi t the stay
in its clip.
This operation must only be carried out
when the vehicle is stationary.
When the engine is hot, handle the ex-
terior safety catch and the bonnet stay
with care (risk of burns).
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL

From inside:
pull the release lever A
,
on the left-hand side below the door, to-
wards you.
If you run out of fuel, fi ll the tank and
operate the starter until the engine
starts.
Several attempts may be needed before
the engine re-starts.

CHECKS
129
CHECKING LEVELS
Brake fluid level
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.

Oil level

The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 30 minutes.
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the oil
level indicator on the instrument panel,
or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the engine oil between
services. The manufacturer recommends
that the oil level be checked, and topped up
if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 km).
The brake fl uid level should be
between the "MAX" and "MIN"
marks.
If it is not, check the brake pad
wear.

Changing the brake fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.


Coolant level

The coolant level must be mea-
sured when the engine is cold
and should be between the
"LOW" and "FULL" marks.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the ig-
nition off.
On vehicles which are fi tted with a
particle emission fi lter, the fan may
operate after the vehicle has been
switched off, even if the engine is
cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash * fluid

Check the fl uid level regularly,
using the gauge.

*
According to country.
Changing the engine oil
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.

Oil specifi cation
The oil must correspond to your engine
and conform to the manufacturer's recom-
mendations.

Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
fulfi l the DOT4 standards.

Changing the coolant fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.

Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.


Fluid specifi cation
This fl uid must conform to the manufac-
turer's recommendations for optimum
cleaning.

Power steering fluid level

Check the fl uid level with the engine at
idle.
Check that the power steering fl uid
level is always between the "MAX" and
"MIN" marks and top up if necessary.

Fluid specifi cation
This fl uid must conform to the manufac-
turer's recommendations.
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
When working under the bonnet, take
care as certain areas of the engine may
be extremely hot (risk of burns).
