The (6-speed) electronic gearbox offers you a choic
e of two driving modes :
- automatic mode,
- manual mode, with levers under the steering wheel 1.
Mode selection :
- automatic mode : selector 2 in position A.
- manual mode : selector 2 in position M.
Note : in automatic mode, instant manual operation is possible any time you action one of the levers 1.
Selection position
-The selector position is displayed in the instrument panel, on the left on multifunction screens A and C and on the right on multifunction screen DT.
-A background-litposition grille associated with the selector allows you to view the position selected.
When the ignition is on, lighting of the SERVICE wa rning lamp, accompanied by a sound signal and the message “Gearbox faulty” indicates a malfunctio n.
Urgently contact a CITROËN dealer.

Starting the engine
1. To start the engine, the selec-tor has to be in position N.
2.Press fi rmly on the brake pedal.
3. Action the starter.
4. When the engine is running, place the selector on R, A or M as desired.
5. Check, in the instrument pan-el, the position engaged.
6. Release the brake pedal and accelerate.
Note : If the selector is not in po-sition N, and/or if the brake pedal is not pressed, the correspond-ing warning lamp(s) display and a message informs you that at least one of these two conditions is not met.
In this case, the engine will not start, recommence the above pro-cedure.
Using the 6-speed electronic gearbox
Reverse gear
Engaging reverse gear
To engage reverse gear, move the selector to R.
Only attempt to change to reverse gear when the vehicle is stationary.
Automatic mode
Changing to automatic mode
To change to automatic mode, move the selector to A.
Manual mode
Changing to manual mode
Manual mode activates when you move the selector to M.- Pull the lever “+” to change up a gear.- Pull the lever “-” to change down a gear.
When the engine is running, be-fore accelerating to move the ve-hicle, make sure that the position engaged on the selector grille or in the instrument panel is either : R, A or AM.Do not leave the vehicle with the engine running in R, A or AM.
If the vehicle is moving rapidly, if an inadvertent attempt to engage reverse gear is made, the warning lamp N will fl ash and your vehicle will go automatically into neutral. To re-engage a gear, you have only to reposition the selector on A, Mor R.

To select automatic driving mode :
- Move the selector to position A. The warning lamp A lights up in the instrument panel to confi rm the selection.
The gearbox then functions in au-tomatic mode, without any inter-vention on your part.
It constantly selects the gear that is best suited to the following pa-rameters :
- driving style,
- road profi le,
- optimum fuel consumption.
Temporary manual operation when in automatic mode
- By pulling either of the levers “+” or “-”, you can exercise tempo-rary control over the changing of gears. The request to change gear will be taken into account. You will still be in automatic mode. The warning lamp A re-mains lit up in the instrument panel.
- This function enables you to an-ticipate certain situations such as the approach of a bend or the need to overtake another vehi-cle.

To select manual mode :
- Move the selector to po-sition M.
Controls under the steering wheel
The levers under the steering wheel give you access to all the six forward gears.
To change gear :
- Pull the lever “+” to change up a gear.
- Pull the lever “-” to change down a gear.
Note : The levers do not permit you to select neutral or reverse gear, or to exit reverse gear.
In situations of high engine speeds (heavy acceleration), a change up will not occur unless the driver ac-tions this on the lever controls.

Observations :
- 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.
- In manual mode, it is not neces-sary to release the accelerator completely during gear changes.
- 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 down may be performed auto-matically.

Do not use the accelerator to hold your vehicle on a gradient. Use either the brake pedal or the electric parking brake.
Before taking any action in the engine compartment, check that the selector is in neutral N.

Acceleration
For optimum acceleration (e.g. to overtake another vehicle), you o nly have to apply the accelerator pedal beyond the end-of-travel switch, by pressing down fi rmly.
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 engine
Before stopping the engine, you can choose :
- to leave the vehicle in neutral : move the selector to posi tion N.
- to leave the vehicle with a gear engaged (R, A or M) : Place the selector in the chosen position prior to stopping the engine. In this case, the vehicle cannot be moved.
In all cases, it is essential to apply the parking brake. Check that the parking brake warning lamp is lit up in the instrument panel.

Park
Never select positions P or R if the vehicle is not stationary.
If, while the vehicle is moving, position N is engaged inadvertently, allow the engine to idle before engaging position D or M.
Using the automatic gearbox
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.
Reverse gear
Neutral
Starting the engine
1. To start the engine, the selector has to be in position P or N.
2. Action the starter.
3. When the engine is running, place the selector on R, D or M as required.
4. Check, in the instrument panel, the position engaged.
5. Release the brake pedal and accelerate.
Note :
- If the selector is not in position P, a message “place automatic gear-box in position P” appears on the multifunction screen, accompa-nied by a beep and the fl ashing of P in the instrument panel.
A U T O M A T I C G E A R B O XG E N E R A L
- To avoid incoherence between the position of the selector and the actual position of the gear-box, always exit from position Pwhen you switch on the ignition and press the brake pedal.
Otherwise, when the ignition is on or the engine is running :
1. Reposition the selector in position P,
2. Put your foot on the brake pedal and then select the gear you want.
- 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 po-sitioned.
Only engage this position when the vehicle is stationary. To pre-vent snatching, do not accelerate too soon after selection.
Never select position N if the vehi-cle is moving.

64
IIAutomatic mode
- Move the selector to position D.
The gearbox constantly selects the gear that is best suited to the following parameters :
- driving style,
- road profi le
- vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in auto-adaptive mode, without requiring any intervention on your part.
For certain manœuvres (for example overtaking), you can obtain maximum acceleration by pressing the accelerator pedal hard down, which then pro-duces an automatic change down to a lower gear.
Observations :
When braking, the gearbox may change down automatically in ord er to provide effective engine braking.
If you lift your foot off the accelerator abruptly, the gearbox will not engage a higher gear.
Temporary manual operation when in automatic mode
By pulling either of the levers “+” or “-”, you can exercise temporary con-trol over the changing of gears. The request to change gear w ill be taken into account. You will still be in automatic mode. The warning lamp D re-mains lit up in the instrument panel.
This function enables you to anticipate certain situations such as the ap-proach of a bend or the need to overtake another vehicle.
