Malfunction
When the ignition is on, the lighting
of this warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message
in the screen, indicates a gearbox
fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3
rd 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
selector from position P to another
position when the battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when at
a prolonged standstill with the engine
running (traffic jam, etc.), put the
selector in position N and apply the
parking brake. If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,
never try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.
Gear efficiency indicator
System which reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one (or more) gear(s). You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
Gear shift recommendations should not be
considered obligatory. The configuration of the
road, the amount of traffic and safety remain
determining factors when choosing the best
gear. The driver thus remains responsible
for deciding whether to follow or ignore the
system's instructions.
This function cannot be deactivated.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual mode. On BlueHDi Diesel versions with manual
gearbox, in certain driving conditions the
system may suggest changing into neutral so
that the engine can go into standby (STOP
mode of Stop & Start). In this case, N is
displayed in the instrument panel.
Example:
-

Y
ou are in 3
rd g e a r.
-
Y
ou press the accelerator pedal.
-

T

he system may suggest that you engage a
higher gear.
The system adapts its gear change
recommendations according to the
driving conditions (slope, load, etc.)
and the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking, etc.).
The system never suggests:
-
e

ngaging first gear,
-
enga

ging reverse gear,
-
enga

ging a lower gear.
The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow.
Driving

172
Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain functions, such as air conditioning,
heated rear screen, etc.
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
Energy economy mode
System which manages the duration of use of
certain functions to conser ve a sufficient level
of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use
functions such as the audio and telematics
system, windscreen wipers, dipped beam
headlamps,
courtesy lamps, etc. for a
maximum combined duration of about forty
minutes.
Switching to this mode
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen indicating that the vehicle has switched
to economy mode and the active functions are
put on standby.
If a telephone call is being made at this
time, it will be maintained for around
10
minutes with the hands-free kit of your
audio system.
Exiting the mode
These functions will be automatically restored
the next time the vehicle is used.
In order to restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
-

f
or less than ten minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately five minutes, A flat battery prevents the engine from
starting.
For more information on the 12
V batter y
,
refer to the corresponding section.
Obser ve the maximum authorised towable
weight, indicated on your vehicle's
registration certificate, the manufacturer's
label as well as in the Technical data

section of this guide.
Complying with the maximum
authorised nose weight (towball)
also includes the use of accessories
(bicycle carriers, tow boxes, etc.).
Obser ve the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving. -
f
or more than ten minutes, to use the
equipment for up to approximately thirty
minutes.
Let the engine run for the duration specified to
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
Do not repeatedly and continuously restart the
engine in order to charge the battery.
Practical information

Running out of fuel
(Diesel)
On vehicles fitted with Diesel engines, the fuel
system must be primed if you run out of fuel.
If the engine does not start first time, do not
keep trying but start the procedure again from
the beginning.For more information on Misfuel
prevention (Diesel) , refer to the
corresponding section.
BlueHDi engines

engine does not start at the first attempt,
wait around 15 seconds before trying
again).
F
I
f the engine does not start after a few
attempts, operate the priming pump again,
then start the engine.

Temporary puncture
repair kit
Scan the QR code on page 3 to view
explanatory videos.Comprising a compressor and a sealant
cartridge, it allows the temporary repair
of
a tyre so that you can drive to the nearest
garage.
It is designed to repair most punctures which
could affect the tyre, located on the tyre tread
or shoulder.
Only the 12 V socket at the front of
the vehicle allows the compressor to be
connected for long enough to repair or
inflate the vehicle tyre.
The other 12 V sockets of the vehicle
are not designed to be used with the
compressor.
Under-inflation detection
After repair of the tyre, the warning
lamp will remain on until the system is
reinitialised.
For more information on Under-inflation
detection , refer to the corresponding
section.
F

O

F

I

f necessary, unclip the cover to access the
priming pump.
In the event of a breakdown

elbow) then to the positive terminal (+) of the
back-up battery B or the booster.
F

C

reverse order.
F

R
efit the plastic cover to the positive
terminal (+), if your vehicle has one.
F

A
llow the engine to run for at least
30
minutes, by driving or with the vehicle
stationary, so that the battery reaches an
adequate state of charge. Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.
Charging the battery using
a battery charger
For optimum ser vice life of the battery, it is
essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.
In some circumstances it may be necessary to
charge the battery:
-

i
f you use your vehicle mostly for short
journeys.
-

i
f the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If you plan to charge your vehicle's battery
yourself, use only a charger compatible
with lead-acid batteries of a nominal
voltage of 12
V.
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities. It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.

E
nsure that the charger cables are in good
condition.
F

R
aise the plastic cover, if your vehicle has
one, on the positive (+) terminal.
