MANUAL GEARBO x
5-speed
6-speed
To change gear easily, always depress 
the
 
clutch
 
pedal   fully.
To
 
prevent
 
the
 
mat   from   becoming  
caught
 
under
 
the   pedal:
-
 
ensure
 
that
  the   mat   is   positioned  
and
 
secured   correctly   on   the   floor,
-
 
never
 
fit
 
one   mat   on   top   of   another.
When driving, avoid leaving your hand 
on
 
the
 
gear
 
knob   as   the   force   exerted,  
even
 
if
 
slight,
 
may   wear   the   internal  
components
 
of
  the   gearbox   over   time.
Changing into 5th or 6th gear
To engage the gear correctly, move the gear  lever   fully   to   the   right.
Engaging reverse gear
The lever should be moved slowly to  reduce   noise.
To engage reverse gear, wait until the 
vehicle
  has   come   to   a   complete   stop.
STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
When the vehicle is stationary, 
release
  the   steering   wheel   adjustment  
mechanism
  by   pulling   the   lever.
Adjust
  the   steering   wheel   for   height  
and
  reach,   then   lock   the   mechanism   by  
pushing
  the   lever   fully   forward. In
  the   6-speed   configuration,   raise   the  collar
  below   the   gear   knob.

The information appears in the  instrument   panel   in   the  
form
  of   an   arrow.
The
  system   adapts   its   gear  
change
  recommendation  
according to the driving conditions 
(slope,
 
load, ...)   and   the   demands  
of the driver (power
, acceleration, 
braking, ...).
The
 
system   never   suggests:
-
 
engaging
   first   gear,
-
 
engaging
   reverse   gear.
With
 
an
 
electronic
 
gearbox,
 
the
 
system
 
is
 
only
 
active
 
in
 
manual
 
mode.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
System which reduces fuel consumption   by   recommending   the  
most
  appropriate   gear.
Operation
depending on the driving situation and 
your   vehicle's   equipment,   the   system  
may
  advise   you   to   skip   one   (or   more)  
gear(s).
 
Y
 ou   can   follow   this   instruction  
without
  engaging   the   intermediate  
gears.
The
  gear   engagement  
recommendations
  must   not   be  
considered
  compulsory.   In   fact,   the  
configuration
  of   the   road,   the   amount  
of
  traffic   and   safety   remain   determining  
factors when choosing the best 
gear
.  
Therefore,
   the   driver   remains  
responsible for deciding whether or 
not to follow the advice given by the 
system.
This
  function   cannot   be   deactivated.

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
Changing to manual mode
Move the gear selector to M. Automatic mode Changing to automatic 
mode
Move the gear selector to A.
The gearbox then operates in 
automatic
 
mode,
 
without
 
any
 
action
 
on
 
your
 
part.
It constantly selects the gear that is 
best
 
suited
 
to
 
the
 
following
 
conditions:
-
 
driving style,
-
 
road
 
profile,
-
 
optimum
 
fuel
 
consumption.

STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
  temporarily   on   standby   -   STOP mode
  -   during   stops   in   the   traffic   (red  
lights,
  traffic   jams,   or   other...).  
The
  
engine
  restarts   automatically   -   START
 mode
  -   as   soon   as   you   want   to   move  
of
f.  
The
   restart   takes   place   instantly,  
quickly
  and   silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start 
system
  reduces   fuel   consumption   and  
exhaust
  emissions   as   well   as   the   noise  
level
  when   stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"  warning  lamp  comes on
  in   the   instrument   panel   and the
  engine   goes   into   standby:
- with a manual gearbox , at speeds 
below   12   mph   (20   km/h),   when   you  
put the gear lever into neutral and 
release the clutch pedal,
-
 
with
  a 6-speed electronic 
gearbox,
  at   speeds   below   5   mph  
(8
  km/h),   when   you   press   the   brake  
pedal or put the gear lever into 
position 
N. If
  your   vehicle   is   fitted   with   the   system,  
a
  time   counter   calculates   the   sum   of  
the
  periods   in   STOP
 
 mode   during   a  
journey
.   It   rests   itself   to   zero   every   time  
the
  ignition   is   switched   on   with   the   key.
With   a   6-speed   electronic  
gearbox,
  for   your   comfort   during  
parking
  manoeuvres,   STOP
 
 mode  
is not available for a few seconds after 
coming
  out   of   reverse   gear.
STOP
 
 mode   does   not   affect   the  
functionality of the vehicle, such as 
braking,
  power   steering,   for   example.
n
ever refuel with the engine in 
STOP
 
 mode;   you   must   switch   off  
the
  ignition   with   the   key.Special cases: STOP mode 
unavailable
STOP
 
 mode   is   not   invoked   when:
-  
the driver's door is open,
-
  
the driver's seat belt is not 
fastened,
-
  
the vehicle has not exceeded 
6 mph
  (10   km/h)   since   the   last  
engine
  start   using   the   key,
-  
the
   engine   is   needed   to   maintain  
a
  comfortable   temperature   in   the  
passenger
  compartment,
-  
demisting
   is   on,
-  
some
   special   conditions   (battery  
charge,
  engine   temperature,  
braking
  assistance,   ambient  
temperature...)
  where   the   engine  
is needed to assure control of a 
system.
In this case, the 
 "ECO" 
warning   lamp   flashes   for   a  
few
  seconds,   then   goes   off.
This operation is perfectly normal.

Maintenance
Before working under the bonnet, deactivate  the   Stop   &   Start   system  
to
  avoid   any   risk   of   injury   resulting  
from
  automatic   operation   of   START
 mode.
This
  system   requires   a   specific  
battery
  with   a   special   specification  
and
 
technology   (reference   numbers  
available
  from   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
qualified
  workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by 
CITROËN introduces
  the   risk   of  
malfunction
  of   the   system.
The
  Stop   &   Start   system   makes  
use
  of   advanced   technology.  
All
  
work
  on   this   type   of   battery   must  
be done only by a CITR
o Ë n  dealer or 
a
 
qualified   workshop.

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   at   a   CITROËN  
dealer
  or   a   qualified   workshop.

A FEW DRIVING 
RECOMMENDA
TIONS
observe the driving regulations at all 
times   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.
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 CITR
o Ë n  dealer or a 
qualified
  workshop.Never
  drive   with   the   parking   brake  
applied
  -   Risk   of   overheating   and  
damage
  to   the   braking   system!
Do   not   park   or   run   the   engine   when  
stationary
  in   areas   where   inflammable  
substances
  and   materials   (dry   grass,  
dead
  leaves...)   might   come   into   contact  
with
  the   hot   exhaust   system   -   Risk   of  
fire!
n
ever 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.
