Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear is  not  engaged  correctly  (selector Â
b
etween  two  positions).
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can engage  position  P or N  to  place  the  gearbox  in Â
neu
tral.
In
 both  cases,  apply  the  parking  brake  to Â
i
mmobilise  the  vehicle.
Operating fault
and a message in the multifunction screen, indicates  a  gearbox  fault.
In
 this  case,  the  gearbox  switches  to  back-up Â
m
ode  and  is  locked  in  3rd  gear.  You  may  feel Â
a
 substantial  knock  when  changing  from  P
to R
 and  from  N to R.
 This  will  not  cause  any Â
d
amage  to  the  gearbox.

Contact
 a  CITROËN  dealer  or  a  qualified Â
w
orkshop  as  soon  as  possible. There
 is  a  risk  of  damage  to  the Â

-
Â
i
f  you  force  the  movement  of  the Â
s

another position when the battery is
flat.
To
 reduce  fuel  consumption  when  at Â
