Stopping - Starting on a slope
Do not use the accelerator pedal to
immobilise the vehicle on a slope,
apply the handbrake instead.
When starting on a slope, accelerate
gradually while releasing the hand-
brake.
Switching to sequential mode
Once you have moved off, you can
switch to sequential mode by selecting
position +/-.
"D" disappears and the gears engaged
appear in succession on the instrument
panel display.
The gear change requests are only car-
ried out if the engine speed permits it.
Take your foot off the accelerator pedal
gently to engage the gear.
Switching to automated mode
Automated mode
After using the sequential mode, you
can return to the automated mode by
selecting position D .
"D" appears on the instrument panel
display.
The gearbox then operates in auto-active
mode, without any action on the part of
the driver.
It continuously selects the gear most
suited to the following parameters:
- driving style,
- road characteristics,
- vehicle load.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain
the most suitable gear, avoid sharp vari-
ations in the pressure on the accelerator
pedal.
"Auto sequential" mode
In the automated mode, you can
resume control temporarily at any time
using the steering wheel controls.
The use of these controls permits man-
ual selection of the gears in situations
which require a faster changedown than
that offered in automated mode (arrival
at a roundabout, exit from a car park
with a steep gradient, overtaking...). Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can:
- move to position N to leave the
gearbox in neutral.
- l e a v e a g e a r e n g a g e d , s u c h a s fi r s t or reverse.
In both cases, it is imperative that you
apply the handbrake to immobilise the
vehicle.
Operating anomaly
With the ignition on, if the message "Slow
down" or "Maintenance required" ap-
pears on the multifunction display, this
indicates a gearbox malfunction.
When a message is displayed, carry
out the following operations:
- slow down and stop your vehicle in a safe place,
- place the lever in position N and let
the engine run,
- open the bonnet to allow the engine to cool.
If the message disappears for a long
period, you can set off again.
If the message remains displayed or
appears frequently, contact a CITROËN
dealer without delay.
P r e s s t h e b r a k e p e d a l fi r m l y
while starting the engine.
Start the engine. "N" appears on the in-
strument panel display.
S e l e c t fi r s t g e a r ( p o s i t i o n D or +/-) or re-
verse (position R ).
Release the handbrake.
Release the brake pedal then accelerate.
"D" or "1" or "R" appear on the instru-
ment panel display. The gearbox engages the gear re-
quested if the engine speed permits it.
The gear engaged appears.
To return to the automated mode, press
the back of the
"+/OFF" control for ap-
proximately 2 seconds.
At low speeds, when approaching a
s t o p o r t r a f fi c l i g h t s f o r e x a m p l e , t h e

"Normal" automatic mode
Select position D .
"D" appears on the instrument panel
display.
The gearbox then operates in automatic
mode, without any action on the part of
the driver.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain
the most suitable gear, avoid sharp vari-
ations in the pressure on the accelera-
tor pedal.
"Temporary" manual mode
In the automatic mode, you can resume
control temporarily at any time using
the steering wheel controls.
The use of these controls permits man-
ual selection of the gears in situations
which require a faster changedown than
that offered in automatic mode (arrival
at a roundabout, exit from a car park
with a steep gradient, overtaking...).
The gearbox engages the gear re-
quested if the engine speed permits it.
The gear engaged appears.
To return to the automatic mode, press
the back of the "+/OFF" control for at
least 2 seconds.
"Sport" automatic mode
From the automatic mode, you can en-
gage the "Sport" mode.
With the vehicle moving or stationary,
push the dial A forward.
"SPORT" appears on the instrument
panel display.
Switching off the "Sport" automatic
mode
You can return to the "Normal" auto-
matic mode at any time:
Push the dial A rearward once. Before switching off the engine, you
must engage position
P or N to place
the gearbox in neutral.
It is imperative that you apply the hand-
brake to immobilise the vehicle.
In order to remove the key from the igni-
tion, the gear lever must be in position P .
Stopping the vehicle
Stopping - Starting on a hill
To assist you when starting on a hill,
y o u r v e h i c l e i s fi t t e d w i t h a s y s t e m
w h i c h i m m o b i l i s e s i t b r i e fl y ( a p p r o x i -
mately 2 seconds), the time required to
move your foot from the brake pedal to
the accelerator pedal. This function is
only active when the vehicle has been
completely immobilised with your foot
on the brake pedal and on certain gra-
dients.
Do not get out of the vehicle during
the hill start assistance temporary
immobilisation phase.
To immobilise the vehicle on a hill for a
longer period, you must use the hand-
brake, not the accelerator.
When starting on a hill, accelerate grad-
ually while releasing the handbrake.

"RDS"
Alternative frequencies "AF"
Your radio automatically checks and selects
the best frequency for the radio station to
which it is tuned (if the station broadcasts on
several transmitters or frequencies).
The frequency of a radio station covers ap-
proximately 30 miles (50 km). The change
from one frequency to another explains the
temporary loss of reception during a journey.
If the station to which you are listening does
not have several frequencies in the region in
which you are currently located, you can de-
activate the alternative frequency following.
Traffic information "TP"
T h e " T r a f fi c P r o g r a m " ( T P ) f u n c t i o n p e r -

i n g t o a n F M s t a t i o n b r o a d c a s t i n g t r a f fi c
information.
The radio station or the source that you
are listening to at this point is paused.
O n c e t h e t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n h a s e n d e d ,
the system switches back to the radio
station or the source that you were lis-
tening to initially.
Regional following mode "REG"
Some stations are organised in a network.
In different regions, they broadcast diffe-
rent or shared programmes depending
on the time of day.
You can follow:
- a regional station only,
- the entire network, with the possibil-ity that you will be listening to a dif-
ferent programme.
The "AF", "REG" and "TP"
functions can be deacti-
vated or activated via the
"TUNE" button functions
setting mode. Press the "TP" button.
"TP" appears on the display.
If the station is compatible,
"RDS" also appears.
I f t h e r a d i o d e t e c t s t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n ,
"TRAF INF" appears on the display,
followed by the frequency of the broad-
casting station, then its name.
The volume is different from that of the
previous source.
F o l l o w i n g t h e b r o a d c a s t i n g o f t h e t r a f fi c
information, the volume returns to that
of the source prior to the interruption.
When "TP" appears on the display,
the radio stops solely at RDS stations
b r o a d c a s t i n g t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n .
On long distance journeys, when the
stored station becomes weak, the radio
s e a r c h e s fi r s t f o r a n o t h e r f r e q u e n c y f o r
the same station (AF). Then, if this fails,
it searches for a frequency broadcast-
ing the regional programme (REG). If
this also fails, the radio returns to the
stored station.
The "Radio Data System" (RDS) func-
tion on the FM waveband permits:
- access to the displaying of information,
such as the name of the station, ...
- tuning to the same station while trav- elling through different regions,
- t e m p o r a r y t u n i n g t o t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n announcements.
Most FM stations use the RDS. These
stations transmit non-audible data in
addition to their programmes.
The data transmitted in this way allows
you access to various functions, mainly
displaying of the name of the station,
automatic station following or temporary
t u n i n g t o t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n a n n o u n c e -
ments.
The RDS allows you to continue listen-
ing to the same station by means of the
alternative frequency following. How-
ever, in certain conditions, this RDS
frequency following cannot be provided
throughout the country. Radio stations
do not cover the whole country, which
explains the loss of reception of the sta-
tion during a journey.

Emergency broadcasts "ALERT"
An emergency broadcast automatically
and temporarily interrupts the FM station
or the source that you are listening to.
The message "ALERT" appears on the
display and the volume is different from
that of the previous source.
Following the emergency broadcast,
the message disappears and the volume
returns to that of the source prior to the
