Starting the vehicleApply the brake pedal. The lever should be in position N. Switch-ing on the ignition will in any case return you to position N(neutral).Check the gear engaged on the instrument panel.
As required, select 1 gear or reverse gear (the engine must be at idle).
Release the handbrake.Lift your foot from the brake pedal and accelerate.
Using the Electronic Gearbox System
Neutral
While the vehicle is moving, do not select this position, even momen-tarily.
Reverse gear
Engaging reverse gear R:
Only the lever permits you to engage reverse gear.
Only place the lever in position R if the vehicle is stationary, foot on the brake.
Automatic mode
Manual forward drive
Selector position for manual gear changing:Push the lever to change up a gear.
Pull the lever to change down a gear.
The engine can only be started, and reverse gear can only be engaged, if the brake pedal is pressed.
T h e f o o t - o n - b r a k e w a r n i n g l a m p fl a s h e s o n t h e d i s p l a y f o r approx. 5 seconds to indicate the necessity to press the brake pedal in order to start the vehicle or engage reverse g ear.

Vehicle stationary, engine running
If the vehicle is stationary for a long time with the engine running, then the gearbox changes automat ically to neutral.
Stopping the engine
Before switching the engine off, you must choose:To leave the vehicle in neutral ; for that, place the leve r in position N.
To leave the vehicle with a gear engaged (1st or 2nd or Rse); for that, place the gear lever in the respective posi-tion. In this case, the vehicle cannot be moved.
In all cases it is essential to apply the parking brake.
It is possible within a limited time to re-engage a gear, even if the engine is switched off.
Before any operation in the engine compartment, check that the gearbox is in neutral and that the parking brake is applied.
Acceleration
The accelerator pedal may have an end-of-travel switch. If so, to obtain extra acceleration you can action this switch by pressing the pedal hard down.
Starting on a gradient
If starting on a gradient, accelerate gradually while releasing the handbrake.
If you have had to stop on a gradient, you are recommended no t to use the accelerator to maintain the vehicle’s position.
In the event of prolonged slipping of the clutch, the driver is alerted by the vehicle vibrating. It is necessary to use the brakes to hold the vehicle.

Your vehicle may be equipped with a "Stop & Start" system, in association with an Electronic Gearbox System; this s h u t s d o w n t h e e n g i n e d u r i n g s t o p p i n g p h a s e s ( r e d l i g h t s , t r a f fi c j a m s , t e m p o r a r y h a l t s , e t c . ) .
During these phases, your vehicle uses no fuel, emits no pollut ants and is completely silent.
The engine restarts instantly when you want to move forward ag ain.
Functioning of the "Stop & Start" system:
If you brake to stop your vehicle, the engine shuts down just before the vehicle comes to a complete halt; the green "ECO" warning lamp lights up in the instrument panel. The en gine remains shut down for as long as you keep your foot, even lightly, on the brake pedal.
As you release the brake pedal, the engine restarts automaticall y and instantly. The green "ECO" warning lamp goes out. You can then accelerate to move forward again.

Situations where the engine does not shut down:
Before shutting down the engine, the system automatically and instantly checks that a certain number of conditions touching on safety, cabin comfort or engine protection are met .
For example, the engine will not shut down, or it will restart by itself: W i t h i n t h e f e w m i n u t e s f o l l o w i n g fi r s t s t a r t i n g ( e n g i n e c o l d ) .

ABS system
The ABS system enhances your safety by preventing the wheels from locking in the event of sudden braking or in conditions of poor road adherence. It enables you to retain control of the steering.
The functioning capability of all the electrical components essential to the ABS is monitored electronically before and during your journey. The ABS warning lamp lights up when you switch on the ignition: it should go out after a few seconds.
If the monitoring warning lamp does not go out, that means that the ABS has disconnected because there is a fault. Also, the fact that the monitoring warning lamp comes on durin g the journey shows that the ABS system is inactive.

H o w e v e r , i n o r d e r for the security associated with the correct functioning of the ABS to be restored, the vehicle should be examined as soon as possible by a CITROËN dealer.for the security associated with the correct associated with the
On roads with poor adherence (chippings, snow, ice etc.), it is always imperative to drive with prudence.
System of emergency braking assistance
(For vehicles with the ABS system)
The emergency braking assistance system helps you to attain the requ ired braking pressure more rapidly, thus to reduce the stopping distance. It operates as a function of the speed of action on the brake pedal, decreasing the resistance to this action. To prolong this action of the emerg ency braking assistance system, simply keep your foot on the brake pedal.
Emergency braking or sudden deceleration automatically operates th e hazard warning lamps. They will cease to operate automatically, or manually if you press the hazard lamps button on the dashboard.

This system is associated with the ABS and in addition to the ABS. In the event of a loss of control of the vehicle by the driver, the ESP system acts automatically on one or more wheels and also on the engine to bring the vehicle back on trajectory.
Operation
T h e E S P w a r n i n g l a m p fl a s h e s i n t h e i n s t r u m e n t p a n e l i f t h e E S P s y s t e m i s correcting the vehicle's trajectory.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (vehicle stuck in snow, soft ground, e tc.) it may prove useful to deactivate the ESP systems to allow the wheels to spin and thus regain traction.Press button A.
The warning lamp associated with control A (ESP Off) lights up, as does the ESP warning lamp on the instrument panel.
The ESP system is no longer active.
The ESP system reactivates:Automatically after the ignition has been switched off.
Automatically when you drive at above approx. 50 k m / h ( a p p r o x . 3 0 m p h ) ( A c c o r d i n g t o v e r s i o n ) .Manually with another press on button A.
Operational anomaly
If the system is malfunctioning, the warning lamp ESP lights up in the instrument panel.
Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the system checked.
The ESP system offers increased driving safety but is not in place to encourage the driver to take additional risks or to drive at excessive speeds.
The functioning of this system is subject to compliance with the manufacturer’s recommendations on wheels (tyres and rims), brake parts and electronic components, as well as with the assembly and repair procedures approved by CITROËN.on wheels (tyres and rims), brake parts and electronic parts and electronic
After any collision, have this system checked by a CITROËN dealer.

The button A for cruise control is located on the lighting control stalk.
Remark: The information relating to the cruise control is displayed in the instrument panel screen at B. This display causes the trip computer infor-mation to disappear (if it is shown on the instrument panel).
To select the function
Turn the control 1 to the “CRUISE” position.
When you select the function via control 1, no speed has yet been memorised.
To select a cruise speed
Accelerate to the desired speed, then give a short press on butt on 2 or button 4.
The cruise speed is then memorised. It is shown in the display on instrument panel B.
You can then release the accelerator pedal. The vehicle will automatically keep to that chosen speed.
Remark: The vehicle speed may vary slightly from that memorised.
