Stopping - Starting on a slope


Do not use the accelerator pedal to im-
mobilise the vehicle on a slope, apply
the parking brake instead.
When starting on a slope, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking
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 in the instrument
panel screen.
The gear change requests are only carried
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 in the instrument panel
screen.
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 conditions of:


- driving style,

- road characteristics,

- vehicle load.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain
the most suitable gear, avoid sharp
variations in the pressure on the accel-
erator pedal.

Auto sequential mode
In the automated mode, you can take
over control temporarily at any time using
the steering mounted controls.
The use of these controls permits manual
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.

- leave a gear engaged, such as fi rst
or reverse.
In both cases, you must apply the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle.

remove the ignition key.
Stopping the vehicle
Hill start assist
To assist you when starting on a gradi-
ent, your vehicle is fi tted with a system
which immobilises it briefl y (approxi-
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 assist temporary immo-
bilisation phase.

To immobilise the vehicle on a gradient
for a longer period, you must use the
parking brake, not the accelerator.
When starting on a gradient, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking
brake.

Battery

Check the electrolyte level
regularly. If necessary, top up
the level with distilled water.
Check that the terminals are
clean and correctly tightened,
particularly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery,
refer to the "Practical information" sec-
tion for details of the precautions to be
taken before disconnecting the battery
and following its reconnection.


Air filter and passenger compartment filter

Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
intervals for these compo-
nents.
Depending on the environ-
ment (dusty atmosphere...) and the use
of the vehicle (city driving...), replace
them twice as often if necessary (refer
to the "Engines" paragraph).
A clogged passenger compartment fi l-
ter may have an adverse effect on the
performance of the air conditioning sys-
tem and generate undesirable odours.
Oil filter

Replace the oil fi lter each time
the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
interval for this component.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
Maintenance of the particle emission fi l-
ter must be carried out by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Following prolonged operation of
the vehicle at very low speed or at
idle, you may, exceptionally, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does
not have any adverse effect on the
performance of the vehicle or on the
environment.
Avoid any prolonged contact of
used oil or fl uids with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful to
health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fl uids
into sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the contain-
ers provided for this purpose at
CITROËN dealers (France) or a
qualifi ed workshop, or take them to
an authorised waste disposal site.

Do not discard the oil fi lter through public
channels, deposit it in the containers dedi-
cated to this use in the CITROËN network
(France) or a qualifi ed workshop or take them to
an authorised waste disposal site.

Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance with
the servicing booklet and in relation to
your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

AUDIO and TELEMATICS
"RDS"

Alternative fre
quencies "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 cov-
ers approximately 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"

The "Traffi c Program" (TP) function per-
mits automatic and temporary switching
to an FM station broadcasting traffi c in-
formation.
The radio station or the source that you
are listening to at this point is paused.
Once the traffi c information has ended,
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 possibility
that you will be listening to a different
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.
If the radio detects traffi c information,
"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.
Following the broadcasting of the traffi 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
broadcasting traffi c information. On long distance journeys, when the
stored station becomes weak, the ra-
dio searches fi rst for another frequen-
cy for the same station (AF). Then, if
this fails, it searches for a frequency
broadcasting the regional programme
(REG). If this also fails, the radio re-
turns to the stored station. The "Radio Data System" (RDS) function
on the FM waveband permits:


- access to the display of information,
such as the name of the station, ...

- tuning to the same station while trav-
elling through different regions,

- temporary tuning to traffi c information
announcements.
Most FM stations use 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
tuning to traffi c information announce-
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.
