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

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.
System which reduces fuel
consumption by recommending the

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.

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.

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.

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!
