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.

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.

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,
-

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,

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.
