Manual operation
)Select position M for sequentialchanging
o
f the four gears.)Push the lever towards the + sign tochange up a gear. )Pull the lever towards the -
sign to change
down a gear.
It is only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle speed and engine speedpermit; otherwise, the gearbox will operate
temporarily in automatic mode.
D disappears and the gears engaged appear in succession in the
instrument panel.

Invalid value during manual operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).



Stopping the vehicle

Before switching off the engine, you can engage
position Por N
to place the gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle.

Operating fault
When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal and amessage in the multifunction screen, indicates
a gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel
a substantial knock when changing from Pto Rand from N to R
. This will not cause any damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (10 0 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
I
f the engine speed is too low or too high, the
gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then
the actual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change from position D(automatic) to position M (manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or movingvery slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1automatically. The spor t and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode.

There is a risk of damage to thegearbox:


- if you press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time,

- if you force the movement of the gear lever from the Pposition toanother position when the battery isflat.
To reduce fuel consumption when at
a prolonged standstill with the enginerunning (traffic jam...), put the gear lever in the Nposition and apply the parkingbrake.

If the lever is not in position P
, when the Pdriver's door is opened or approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switchedoff, a warning message appears in the screen.)Return the lever to position P; the message disappears.

requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h), as well as the engagement of:


-
fourth gear on a manual gearbox,

- second gear on a or automatic or electronic gearbox, in sequential mode,

- position A
on an electronic gearbox or position D
on an automatic gearbox.
Th
e cruise control is switched off
manually for by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or
on triggering of the ESP system for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
