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.   It  
may be accompanied by a
recommended

  gear.
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
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.  
This
  is  
because

  the   configuration   of   the   road,  
the

  traffic   density   and   safety   remain  
determining factors when choosing
the

  best   gear.  
Therefore,
  the   driver  
remains responsible for deciding
whether or not to follow the indications
given.
This

  function   cannot   be   deactivated.

STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the
engine temporarily on standby - ST OP
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
  off.
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 modeThe "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 ST

OP 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.
Never 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 vehicle is on a steep slope
(rising or fallin

g),
-
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.

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.

For more information about
weights and towed loads, refer to
chapter  9,   "Weights"   section.
TOWING A TRAILER , A CARA VAN ...
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so
that
  the   heaviest   objects   are   as  
close as possible to the axle and
the nose weight is close to the
maximum authorised without, however

,
exceeding
  it.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the
  coolant   temperature. As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the
  engine   speed.
You should therefore use a high gear
to lower the engine speed and reduce
your
  speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant
  temperature.
Driving advice
A towed   vehicle   must   free   wheel:  gearbox
  in   neutral.
