AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
Automatic gearbox which offers a
choice between the comfort of fully
automatic operation, enhanced by
the sport and snow programmes, or
manual gear changing.
Therefore, you have a choice of four
driving modes:
- automatic operation for elec-
tronic control of the gears by the
gearbox,
- the SPORT programme for a
more dynamic style of driving,
- the SNOW programme to im-
prove driving in conditions of
poor grip,
- manual operation for sequen-
tial changing of the gears by the
driver. Mode selection

 Automatic mode: selector in po-
sition D .

 Sequential mode: selector in po-
sition M .

 SPORT mode: selector in posi-
tion D with button " S " pressed.

 SNOW mode: selector in posi-
tion D with button "  " pressed.
Displays on the instrument
panel
The position of the gear selector is
displayed on the instrument panel.
A position grille on the selector al-
lows you to view the position that is
selected.

 To start the engine, the selector
has to be in position P or N .
For safety:
- position
P can be disengaged
only if you press the brake
pedal,
- when a door is opened, an au- dible signal is heard if the se-
lector is not in position P ,
- always make sure that the se- lector is in position P before
you leave your vehicle.
If the gearbox is in position P but the
position of the selector is different,
reposition the selector on P so that
you can start the vehicle.
Moving off

D R I V I N G

 Press the brake pedal.

 Operate the starter.

 When the engine is running,
place the selector on R , D or M
as required .

 Check, in the instrument panel,
the position engaged.

 Gradually release the brake ped-
al and accelerate.

 To avoid a difference between
the position of the selector and
the actual position of the gear-
box, only exit from position P
with the ignition on and the brake
pedal pressed.
Park Reverse gear
This position of the selector is used
to prevent the vehicle from moving
when you are stationary.

 To select position P, move the
selector back to the highest po-
sition (towards R ), then push it
forwards and then to the left. Only engage this position when
the vehicle is stationary. To prevent
snatching, do not accelerate too
soon after selection.
Neutral
Never select position N if the vehicle
is moving.
Never select positions P or

R if the vehicle is not sta-
tionary.
If, while the vehicle is moving, po-
sition N is engaged inadvertently,
allow the engine to idle before en-
gaging position D or M .
Otherwise, when the ignition is on or
the engine is running:


reposition the selector in position P ,

 put your foot on the brake pedal
and then select the gear you
want. Automatic operation

 Move the selector to position D .
The gearbox constantly selects the gear that is best suited to the
following conditions:
- driving style,
- road profi le,
- vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in

auto-adaptive mode, without re-
quiring any action on your part.
For certain manoeuvres (for exam-
ple overtaking), you can obtain maxi-
mum acceleration by pressing the
accelerator pedal down hard, which
then produces an automatic change
down to a lower gear.
When braking, the gearbox may
change down automatically in order
to provide effective engine braking.
If you lift your foot off the accelera-
tor abruptly, the gearbox will not
change up.

 To exit position P , move the se-
lector to the right and then to the
position you want.

 Only engage this position when
the vehicle is completely sta-
tionary. In this position, the front
wheels are locked. Make sure
that the selector is correctly posi-
tioned.

Manual operation
SPORT and SNOW
programmes
These two special programmes sup-
plement the automatic operation in
very specifi c conditions of use.
Position of the selector for manual
gear changing.
The fl ashing of the warning lamp for
the position requested signals that
this position is not yet obtained.
If the warning lamp is on fi xed, the
position is confi rmed.
Lighting of a dash in the rev coun-
ter indicates an operating fault. In
this case:
- a marked snatching may be felt
when selecting R for reverse
gear,
- the gearbox is locked in a gear,
- do not exceed 60 mph (approx. 100 km/h).
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
- A request to change gear is ac-
cepted only if the engine speed
permits it.
- For safety reasons, depending on the engine speed, a change
up or down may be performed
automatically.
- It is possible at any time to move from position D (driving in auto-
matic mode) to position M (driving
in sequential mode) or vice versa.
- The SPORT and SNOW modes
do not operate in sequential
mode.
SPORT programme "S"

 With the lever in position D and
the engine running, press but-
ton " S ".
The gearbox automatically favours a
dynamic style of driving.
" S " appears on the instrument panel.

 Move the selector to position M .

 Push the lever towards the "+"
sign to change up a gear.

 Pull the lever towards the "-"
sign to change down a gear.
- If the vehicle stops or reduces speed (for example when ap-
proaching a stop sign), the gear-
box changes down automatically,
to fi rst gear if necessary.
- In sequential mode, it is not nec- essary to release the accelerator
during gear changes. SNOW programme "
 "

 With the lever in position D and
the engine running, press button
"  ".
The gearbox adapts to driving on
slippery roads.
This programme facilitates starting
and traction in conditions of poor grip.
"  " appears on the instrument panel.
Return to automatic operation

 Press the button selected again
at any time to exit from the pro-
gramme engaged and return to
auto-adaptive mode.

CRUISE CONTROL
System which automatically main-
tains the vehicle speed programmed
by the driver, without any action on
the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: the vehicle speed must be
at least 25 mph (approx. 40 km/h)
and you must engage:
- fourth gear on a manual gearbox,
- second gear, in sequential mode, on an electronic gearbox or
automatic gearbox,
- position A on an electronic
gearbox or D on an automatic
gearbox.
The cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
observance of speed limits or of the
vigilance and responsibility of the
driver. Steering wheel controls
The cruise control switches are
located on the left-hand side of the
steering wheel.
Displays on the instrument panel
The programmed information is
grouped together in zone
A of the
instrument panel display. Programming
Rotate the control
1 to the "REG"
position.
Activation
On selection of the function via con-
trol 1, no cruise speed has yet
been memorised.
Once the desired speed has been
reached using the accelerator, press
button 2 or button 4 . The cruise
speed is then memorised. It is dis-
played in zone A of the instrument
panel.
You can then release the accelera-
tor pedal. The vehicle will automati-
cally keep to the speed chosen.
The speed of your vehicle may vary
slightly in relation to that memo-
rised.
You can adjust the memorised speed
on the instrument panel display by
pressing on:

 button 4 to increase the speed,

 button 2 to decrease the speed.
Successive presses modify the
cruise speed in steps of 1 mph and a
sustained press in steps of 3 mph.

Brake pads Brake wear depends on
the style of driving, par-
ticularly in the case of ve-
hicles used in town, over
short distances. It may be
necessary to have the condition of
the brakes checked, even between
vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no
oil change).
6-speed electronic gearbox
system The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no
oil change).
Automatic gearbox The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no
oil change). Brake disc wear
For information relating to
checking the brake disc
wear, contact a CITROËN
dealer.
Parking brake If a loss of effectiveness
of this system is noticed,
the parking brake must be
checked, even between
two services.
This system must be checked by a
CITROËN dealer. Only use products recom-
mended by CITROËN or
products of equivalent quality
and specifi cations.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
system, CITROËN selects and of-
fers very specifi c products.
To avoid damaging the electrical
units, the use of a high pressure
washer in the engine compartment
is strictly prohibited .
