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

Operating anomaly Reverse gear
Flashing of the indicator light R on the
instrument panel display, accompanied
by an audible signal, indicates a mal-
function on engaging the gear:
Press the brake pedal, position the gear
lever in position N and engage reverse
gear again.
With the ignition on, if this warning
light comes on, accompanied by vi-
bration in the pedals and the message
"Maintenance required" on the in-
strument panel display, this indicates a
gearbox malfunction.
If the message is displayed, carry out
the following operations:
- slow down and stop your vehicle in a safe place,
- place the lever in position P or N ,
apply the handbrake and let the en-
gine 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 dealer of
the Marque without delay.
Overheating of the engine may re-
sult in unwanted declutching of the
gearbox.

Programming
Press button 1 .
Set the programmed speed by ac-
celerating to the required speed,
then press button 2 "COAST SET" .
CRUISE CONTROL
The controls of this system are grouped
together on the steering wheel.
1. "ON/OFF" button: activation/deacti-
vation of the cruise control mode.
2. "COAST SET" button: storing of a
driving speed and decreasing of the
cruising speed.
3. "ACC RES" button: increasing of
the cruising speed and recalling of
the stored speed.
4. "CANCEL" button: switching off of
the cruise control. When you press button
1 , the "CRUISE"
indicator light comes on on the instrument
panel.
Steering wheel controls Display on the instrument panel
The cruise control cannot, in any cir-
cumstances, take the place of the
need to comply with speed limits or
of the vigilance and responsibility of
the driver.
System which permits automatic main-
taining of the vehicle speed at the value
programmed by the driver, without any
action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is
switched on
manually: the vehicle speed must be
25 mph (40 km/h) minimum and sec-
ond gear must be engaged in the case
of a manual gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off man-
ually, by an action on the brake or clutch
pedal or if the ASC system is triggered.
The programmed speed can be ex-
ceeded temporarily by pressing the
accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value.

CHECKING LEVELS Brake fluid level To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Oil level
The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes.
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the oil
level indicator on the instrument panel,
or using the dipstick. T h e b r a k e fl u i d l e v e l s h o u l d b e
between the "MAX" and "MIN"
marks.
If it is not, check the brake pad
wear.
Draining the circuit
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Coolant level
The coolant level must be
measured when the engine is
cold and should be between
the "LOW" and "FULL" marks.
When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is regulated by the fan.
This can operate with the ignition off.

switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
