Acceleration
For optimum acceleration (e.g. to overtake  another   vehicle),   simply  
press the pedal beyond the point of 
resistance at the end of its travel, by 
pressing
  down   firmly.
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 vehicle
Before stopping the engine, put the 
gear selector in position N.
In all cases, it is essential to apply 
the  parking   brake.   Check   that   the  
parking
  brake   warning   lamp   is   on   in   the  
instrument
  panel.
Before doing anything in the 
engine
  compartment,   check   that  
the gear selector is in neutral 
N.
Changing gear
In situations of high engine speeds 
(heavy acceleration), a change 
up will not occur unless the driver 
operates the electronic gearbox control 
paddle. Pull on the "+" control 
paddle
  to   change   up.
Pull on the "-" control 
paddle to change  
down.
-
 
If the vehicle stops or reduces 
speed (for example when 
approaching a stop sign), 
the gearbox changes down 
automatically
,   to   first   gear   if  
needed.
-
 
It is not necessary to release the 
accelerator completely during gear 
changes.
-
 
A
  gear change instruction is 
accepted only if the engine speed 
permits.
-
 
For safety reasons, depending on 
the engine speed, a change down 
may
  be   performed   automatically.
Manual mode

HILL START  ASSIST
This system (also called HHC - Hill 
Holder
  Control),   linked   to   the   dynamic  
stability
  control   system,   makes   hill  
starts easier and is activated in the 
following
  conditions:
-
 
the vehicle must be stationary
 , 
engine
  running,   foot   on   the   brake,
-
 
the gradient of the road must be 
steeper than 5%,
-
 
uphill, the gearbox must be in 
neutral or in a gear other than 
reverse,
-
 
downhill, reverse gear must be 
engaged.
The Hill Start 
Assist system is a driving 
aid.
  It   is   not   an   automatic   vehicle  
parking
  function   or   an   automatic  
parking
  brake.
Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal pressed, from the time you release 
the  brake   pedal,   without   using   the  
parking
  brake,   you   have   approximately  
2
  seconds to move off before the 
vehicle
  starts   to   roll   back.
During the moving off phase, the 
function is deactivated automatically, 
gradually
  releasing   the   braking  
pressure.
  During   this   phase,   the  
characteristic noise of mechanical 
release
  of   the   brakes   may   be   heard,  
indicating the imminent movement of 
the
  vehicle.
Operating fault
Hill start assist is deactivated in the 
following   situations:
-
 
when the clutch pedal is released,
-
 
when
   the   parking   brake   is   applied,
-
 
when the engine is switched of
 f,
-
 
when
   the   engine   stalls.
If a malfunction of the 
system occurs, this 
warning lamp comes on 
accompanied by an audible 
signal
  and   confirmed   by  
a
  message   in   the   screen.   Have   the  
system
  checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer  
or
  a   qualified   workshop.

DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS
Observe the driving regulations and 
remain  vigilant   whatever   the   traffic  
conditions.
Pay
  close   attention   to   the   traffic   and  
keep
  your   hands   on   the   wheel   so   that  
you are ready to react at any time to 
any
  eventuality.
As a safety precaution, the driver 
must only carry out actions requiring 
sustained attention when the vehicle is 
stationary.
On
  a   long   journey,   a   break   every  
two hours
  is   strongly   recommended.
In
  difficult   weather,   drive   smoothly,  
anticipate
  the   need   to   brake   and  
increase the distance from other 
vehicles.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving 
on  flooded   roads,   as   this   could   cause  
serious damage to the engine or 
gearbox, as well as to the electrical 
systems
  of   your   vehicle. If you are obliged to drive through 
water:
-
 
check
   that   the   depth   of   water   does  
not
  exceed   15   cm,   taking   account  
of waves that might be generated 
by other users,
-
  
deactivate the Stop & Start system,
-
  
drive as slowly as possible without 
stallin
g.   In   all   cases,   do   not   exceed  6
  mph   (10   km/h),
-  do not stop and do not switch of f 
the
  engine.
On
  leaving   the   flooded   road,   as   soon  
as
  circumstances   allow,   make   several  
light
  brake   applications   to   dry   the   brake  
discs
  and   pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, 
contact a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified
  workshop.Never
  drive   with   the   parking   brake  
applied
  -   Risk   of   overheating   and  
damage
  to   the   braking   system!
Risk   of   fire!
As the exhaust system of your vehicle 
is very hot, even several minutes 
after switching off the engine, do not 
park   or   leave   the   engine   running   over  
areas
  where   inflammable   substances  
and
  materials   are   present:   grass,  
leaves, etc.
Never leave a vehicle 
unsupervised with the engine 
running.
   If   you   have   to   leave  your vehicle with the engine running, 
apply
  the   parking   brake   and   put   the  
gearbox into neutral or position 
N or P, 
depending
  on   the   type   of   gearbox.
Important!

Driving safely
ANTI-SLIP REGULATION  (ASR) 
AND
  DYNAMIC   STABILITY
 
CONTROL (DSC)
These systems are linked and complement  the  ABS.
The 
ASR system is very useful for 
maintaining optimum drive and 
avoiding losses of control of the vehicle 
on
  acceleration.
The system optimises drive to prevent 
the
  wheels   skidding,   by   acting   on   the  
brakes
  of   the   drive   wheels   and   on   the  
engine.
  It   also   allows   the   directional  
stability of the vehicle to be improved 
on
  acceleration.
Use the DSC to hold your course 
without
  attempting   to   countersteer.
If there is a variation between the 
trajectory
  followed   by   the   vehicle   and  
that required by the driver
, the DSC 
system automatically acts on the 
engine
  and   the   brake   of   one   or   more  
wheels,
  in   order   to   put   the   vehicle   back  
on
  course.
Deactivation
In certain exceptional conditions 
(starting   the   vehicle   when   stuck   in   mud  
or
  snow,   or   on   loose   ground...),   it   could  
prove useful to deactivate the 
ASR and 
DSC
  systems   to   make   the   wheels   spin  
and
  regain   grip.
Operating fault
Good practice
The ASR/DSC   systems   offer   increased  safety during normal driving, but 
should
  not   incite   the   driver   to   take   risks  
or
  to   drive   at   high   speed.
The operation of these systems is 
ensured if the recommendations 
of the manufacturer regarding 
the wheels (tyres and rims), the 
braking
  components,   the   electronic  
components
  and   the   fitting   and   repair  
procedures
  are   observed.
After an impact, have these systems 
checked
  by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
qualified
  workshop.
Operation
The warning lamp flashes when operation of the  ASR or 
DSC
  is   triggered.
They engage again:
-
 
automatically above 30 mph 
  
(50
 
km/h), When a malfunction of the 
systems occurs, the warning 
lamp and the LED come on, 
accompanied by an audible 
signal and a message in the 
screen.
-
 
Press the button or turn 
the dial to the DSC OFF 
position (depending on 
model).
-
 
The
 
LED   comes   on:   the  
ASR
   and  
DSC systems no longer come into 
play
. -
 
manually by pressing the 
button again or by turning 
the dial to this position 
(depending
  on   model).Contact a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified
  workshop   to   have   the   system  
checked.
The warning lamp may also come on if 
the
  tyres   are   under-inflated.   Check   the  
pressure
  of   each   tyre.

Good Practice
In certain cases of particularly arduous 
use (towing the maximum load up a 
steep slope in high temperatures), the 
engine  automatically   limits   its   power.  
In this case, the air conditioning is 
automatically cut of
f to save engine 
power.
Tyres
Check
  the   tyre   pressures   of   the   towing  
vehicle and of the trailer
, observing the 
recommended
  pressures.
Chapter
  7,   "Levels"   section.
If the coolant temperature 
warning lamp comes on, stop 
the vehicle and switch off the 
engine
  as   soon   as   possible.Brakes
Towing
  increases   the   braking   distance.  Drive at a moderate speed, change 
down
  early   and   brake   gradually.
Towbar
We recommend the use of genuine 
CITROËN towbars and their wiring 
harnesses, which have been tested 
and approved from the design stage of 
your vehicle, and that you entrust the 
fitting
  of   this   equipment   to   a   CITROËN  
dealer
.
If
  this   equipment   is   not   fitted   by   a  
CITROËN dealer
, it is imperative that 
it
  is   fitted   using   the   electrical   pre-
equipment installed at the rear of the 
vehicle and in accordance with the 
manufacturer's
  instructions.
In accordance with the general 
instructions a reminder of which has 
been given above, we draw your 
attention
  to   the   risk   associated   with  
fitting
  a   towbar   or   electrical   accessory  
not
  recommended   by   CITROËN.  
Fitting such equipment could result in 
the failure of your vehicle's electronic 
system.
