When

In
  manual   mode,   it   is   not   necessary   to   release  
t

The
  change   from   one   gear   to   another   is   only  
e

ffected   if   the   conditions   of   vehicle   speed   and  
e

If the lever is not in position P ,
  on   opening   the  
d

river's   door   or   approximately   45   seconds   after  
s

witching   off   the   ignition   there   is   an   audible  
s

Operating fault
Whenever parking, you must apply the parking brake   to   immobilise   the   vehicle,   if   automatic  
o

peration   has   been   deactivated.
Parking the vehicle
In all circumstances, ensure that the gear   selector   is   in   position   P before
leaving
  your   vehicle. In the event of a fault with the
gearbox,
  the   service   warning   lamp  
c

In   this   case   the   gearbox   goes   into   back-up

jolt
 
when
 
going   from   P to R   and   from

Operation
Gear efficiency indicator
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most suitable gear.
T he   system   adapts   its   gear   change

ecommendation   according   to   the  
d

riving   conditions   (slope,   load, ...)   and  
t

he   demands   of   the   driver   (power,

Depending
  on   the   driving   situation   and   your

y

ou   to   skip   one   or   more   gears.
You
  can   follow   this   instruction   without   going  
t

hrough   the   intermediate   gears.
The
  gear   engagement   recommendations   must  
n

ot   be   considered   compulsory.
This
  is   because   the   configuration   of   the   road,  
t

raffic   density   and   safety   remain   important  
f

actors   in   the   choice   of   the   best   gear.

On
  BlueHDi   Diesel   135   and   150   versions   with

t

he   system   may   suggest   changing   into   neutral

Maintenance
This system requires a 12 V battery with a special   specification   and   technology   (reference  
n

umbers   available   from   CITROËN   dealers).
Fitting
  a   battery   not   listed   by   CITROËN  
i

ntroduces   the   risk   of   malfunction   of   the  
s

ystem.
For
  charging,   use   a   12   V   charger   and   do   not  
r

everse   the   polarity.

Display of inter-vehicle time
Using a radar located at the front of the vehicle, this   system   helps   the   driver   maintain   a   safe  
d

istance   between   their   vehicle   and   the   one   in  
f

ront,   by   displaying   the   current   inter-vehicle  
t

ime   in   the   instrument   panel.
It
  is   the   time   interval,   expressed   in   seconds,  
t

hat   separates   two   vehicles   in   line.   The  
r

ecommended   safe   value   is   about   2   seconds:  
r

efer   to   the   legislation   or   highway   code   in   force  
i

n   your   country.Conditions for display
The measurement is displayed for information   only:   the   system   takes   no a

ction   on   the   vehicle.
This
  system   does   not   in   any

nor
 
for
 
more
 
dynamic
 
driving
 
(bends,
 a

cceleration,   harsh   braking…)   but   rather
 w

hen   driving   at   a   steady   speed.
The
  system   is   active   in   a   speed   range  
b

etween   42   and   93   mph   (70   and  
1

50 km/h).
Stationary   vehicles   and   certain   other  
r

oad   users   (such   as   bicycles   for  
e

xample)   are   not   detected.
The   system   displays   inter-vehicle   time  
v

alues   of   between   3   seconds   and   0.5   of  
a

  second.
Below   0.5   of   a   second,   the   value  
d

isplayed   is   maintained   at   this   level,
