 The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced by 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.  The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).  High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the per formance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient temperature is above 37 °C, 
limit the towed load.

  Six-speed automatic gearbox which offers a 
choice between the comfort of fully automatic 
operation or manual gear changing. 
  Two driving modes are available: 
   
 
-   automatic 
 operation with electronic 
management of the gears by the gearbox, 
   
-   manual 
 operation for sequential changing 
of the gears by the driver.

Moving off 
 
 
If position  N 
 is selected inadvertently 
while driving, allow the engine to 
return to idle then select position  D 
 to 
accelerate. 
  If the ambient temperature is below 
-23°C, the engine should be left at idle 
for four minutes, to ensure the correct 
operation and life of the engine and 
gearbox.     
When the engine is running at idle, with 
the brakes released, if position  R 
,  D 
 or 
  M 
 is selected, the vehicle moves even 
without the accelerator being pressed. 
  When the engine is running, never 
leave children in the vehicle without 
supervision. 
  When carrying out maintenance with 
the engine running, apply the parking 
brake and select position  P 
.  
     
 
 ) 
  Apply the parking brake. 
   
 ) 
  Select position  P 
 or  N 
. 
   
 ) 
  Start the engine.  
  If these conditions are not met, there is an 
audible signal, accompanied by the display of 
an warning message. 
   
 
 ) 
  With the engine running, press the brake 
pedal. 
   
 ) 
  Release the parking brake. 
   
 ) 
  Select position  R 
,  D 
 or  M 
. 
   
 ) 
  Gradually release the brake pedal.  
  The vehicle moves off immediately.

Reverse 
 
When selecting reverse  R 
 with the ignition on, 
the rear parking sensors are activated. 
  For more information, refer to the "Rear parking 
sensors" section.  
 
 
Creep function (moving without 
using the accelerator) 
  This function provides great flexibility in 
manoeuvring the vehicle at low speed (when 
parking, in traffic jams, …). 
  With the engine at idle, parking brake released 
and position  D 
,  M 
 or  R 
 selected,  the vehicle 
moves 
 as soon as you take your foot off 
the brake pedal (even without pressing the 
accelerator). 
  For your safety, this function will be activated 
only if you press the brake pedal when 
changing from for ward drive to reverse. 
  It is deactivated on opening the driver's door. 
  Closing the door then pressing the brake or 
accelerator pedal, reactivates the function.  
 
 
 
Automatic operation 
 
 
Never select position  N 
 while the 
vehicle is moving. 
  Never select positions  P 
 or  R 
 unless 
the vehicle is completely stationary.      
 
 ) 
  Select position  D 
 for  automatic 
 changing 
of the six gears.  
  The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive 
mode, without any inter vention on the part 
of the driver. It continuously selects the most 
suitable gear according to the style of driving, 
the profile of the road and the load in the 
vehicle. 
  For maximum acceleration without touching 
the selector, press the accelerator pedal down 
fully (kick down). The gearbox changes down 
automatically or maintains the gear selected 
until the maximum engine speed is reached. 
  On braking, the gearbox changes down 
automatically to provide efficient engine 
braking. 
  If you release the accelerator sharply, the 
gearbox will not change to a higher gear for 
safety reasons.

4Driving
   
If the selector is not in position  P 
, 
when the driver's door is opened or 
approximately 45 seconds after the 
ignition is switched off, a warning 
message appears in the screen. 
   
 
 ) 
  Return the selector to position  P 
; 
the message disappears.  
  When driving on flooded roads or when 
crossing a ford, proceed at walking 
pace.  
 
 
 
Manual operation 
 
 
 
 ) 
  Select position  M 
 for  sequential 
 changing 
of the six gears. 
   
 ) 
  Move the selector towards the  + 
 sign to 
change up a gear. 
   
 ) 
  Move the selector towards the  - 
 sign to 
change down a gear.  
  It is only possible to change from one gear to 
another if the vehicle speed and engine speed 
permit; other wise, the gearbox will operate 
temporarily in automatic mode.   This symbol is displayed if a gear 
is not engaged correctly (selector 
between two positions).  
 
   
D 
 disappears and the gears 
engaged appear in succession in the 
instrument panel. 
   
Stopping the vehicle 
 
Before switching off the engine, you can 
engage position  P 
 or  N 
 to place the gearbox in 
neutral. 
  In both cases, apply the parking brake to 
immobilise the vehicle. 
   
Invalid value during manual 
operation 
  If the engine speed is too low or too high, the 
gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then 
the actual gear engaged is displayed. 
  It is possible to change from position  D 
 
(automatic) to position  M 
 (manual) at any time. 
  When the vehicle is stationary or moving 
very slowly, the gearbox engages first gear 
automatically.   When the ignition is on, the lighting 
of this warning lamp, accompanied 
   
Operating fault 
by an audible signal and a message in the 
multifunction screen, indicates a gearbox fault. 
  In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up 
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel 
a substantial knock when changing from  P 
 
to  R 
 and from  N 
 to  R 
. This will not cause any 
damage to the gearbox. 
  Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed 
restrictions permitting. 
  Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop as soon as possible. 
   
There is a risk of damage to the gearbox: 
   
 
-   if you press the accelerator and 
brake pedals at the same time, 
   
-   if you force the movement of the 
selector from the  P 
 position to 
another position when the battery is 
flat.  
  To reduce fuel consumption when at 
a prolonged standstill with the engine 
running (traffic jam...), put the selector 
in the  N 
 position and apply the parking 
brake.
