"Energy economy mode". When you leave the vehicle, keep the
key with you and lock the vehicle.
To facilitate unlocking of the steering
column, it is recommended that the
wheels be returned to the straight ahead

Moving off
When the engine is running at idle,
with the brakes released, if position R ,
D or
M is selected, the vehicle moves
even without the accelerator being
pressed.
When the engine is running, never
leave children in the vehicle without
supervision.
When carrying out maintenance with
the engine running, apply the parking
brake and select position P .
If position N is selected inadvertently
while driving, allow the engine to
return to idle then select position D to
accelerate.
ne

ver select position N while the
vehicle is moving.
ne

ver select positions P or R unless
the vehicle is completely stationary.
Automatic operation
F Select position D for automatic changing
of the four gears.
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any intervention on the part
of the driver. It continuously selects the most
suitable gear according to the style of driving,
the profile of the road and the load in the
vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without touching the
gear lever, press the accelerator pedal down
fully (kick down). The gearbox changes down
automatically or maintains the gear selected
until the maximum engine speed is reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide efficient engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the
gearbox will not change to a higher gear for
safety reasons.
If the ambient temperature is
below

-23°C, the engine should be left
at idle for four minutes, to ensure the
correct operation and life of the engine
and gearbox.

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 P or 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 a
message 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 P
to R and from N to R . This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible. There is a risk of damage to the
gearbox:
-

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

i
f you force the movement of the
gear lever from the P position to
another position when the battery is
flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when at
a prolonged standstill with the engine
running (traffic jam...), put the gear lever
in the N position and apply the parking
brake.
If the lever is not in position P , when the
driver's door is opened or approximately
45 seconds after the ignition is switched
off, a warning message appears in the
screen.
F

R

eturn the lever to position P ; the
message disappears.
When driving on flooded roads or when
crossing a ford, proceed at walking

F Turn thumb wheel 1 to the "LIMIT"
position: the speed limiter mode
is selected but is not switched on
(PAUS E).
You do not have to switch the speed limiter
on in order to set the speed.
Programming Leaving limiter mode
F Turn thumb wheel 1 to the "0" position:
the speed limiter mode is deselected. The
display returns to the distance recorder.
On a steep descent or in the event of
sharp acceleration, the speed limiter
will not be able to prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:
-

e
nsure that the mat is secured
c o r r e c t l y,
-

d
o not fit one mat on top of another.
In the event of a speed limiter fault, the speed
is cleared and the dashes then flash.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Operating fault
F Set the speed value by pressing button 2 or 3 (e.g.: 55 mph
(90 km/h)).
You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 2 and 3 :
-

b
y + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press,
-

b
y + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press,
-

i
n steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.
Exceeding the programmed speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed speed will
not have any effect unless you press the pedal firmly past the point of
resistance .
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the programmed speed,
which is still displayed, flashes, accompanied by an audible signal.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or
unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the
flashing of the programmed speed and the audible signal stops. F

In good or rainy weather, both day
and night, the front foglamps and the
rear foglamp are prohibited. In these
situations, the power of their beams
may dazzle other drivers. They should
only be used in fog or snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility to switch on the foglamps
and dipped beam headlamps manually
as the sunshine sensor may detect
sufficient light.
Do not forget to switch off the front
foglamps and the rear foglamp when
they are no longer necessary.Switching on the lamps
after the ignition is
switched off
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate
the ring to the "0" position - lamps off,
then to the desired position.
On opening the driver's door a
temporary audible signal warns the
driver that the lighting is on.
The lamps, with the exception of the
sidelamps, switch off automatically after
a maximum duration of thirty minutes to
prevent discharging of the battery.
Switching off the lamps
when the ignition is
switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of the
lamps turn off immediately, except for
dipped beam if guide-me-home lighting
is activated.
