Tyre under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressures on the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres. The under-inflation detection system
does not replace the vigilance or the
responsibility of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
road holding, extends braking distances
and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous condition
(high loading, high speed, long journey).The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label.
See the "Identification markings"
section.
Tyre pressures should be checked
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of
less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to
the pressures shown on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.

Manual mode
The gears engaged appear in
succession in the instrument panel.
The gear change requests are only carried out
if the engine speed permits.
It is not necessary to release the accelerator
pedal during gear changes.
When braking or slowing down, the gearbox
changes down automatically so that the vehicle
picks up in the right gear.
Under full acceleration, the change up will
not take place unless the driver operates the
gear lever or steering mounted control paddle
(unless the engine is close to its maximum
speed).
Temporary control of gear
changing
You can temporarily take over control of gear
changes using the steering mounted "+" and
"-"
control paddles: if the engine speed allows, the
gear change is carried out.
This function allows you to anticipate certain
situations such as overtaking another vehicle or
approaching a bend.
After a few moments without any action on the
paddles, the gearbox resumes control of gear
changing automatically.
Automated mode
AUTO and the gear engaged appear
in the instrument panel.
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any action on the part of the
driver. It continuously selects the most suitable
gear taking account of:
-
o

ptimisation of fuel consumption,
-

d

riving style,
-

r

oad conditions,
-

v

ehicle load.
For optimum acceleration, when overtaking
another vehicle for example, press the
accelerator pedal fully down, beyond the point
of resistance.
You can change mode at any time by
moving the gear lever from A to M or
the other way round. You can change mode at any time by
moving the gear lever from A to M or
the other way round.

Stopping the vehicleOperating 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 n

ot exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Contact a CITR
oËn

dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible. 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.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.
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.
If the ambient temperature is below
-23°C, the engine should be left running
at idle for four minutes, in order to
ensure the correct operation and
durability of the engine and gearbox.
When traversing a flooded road or a
ford, drive at walking pace.
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.

122
Gear efficiency indicator*
In the case of driving which makes
particular demands on the performance
of the engine (firm pressure on the
accelerator pedal, for example, when
overtaking...), the system will not
recommend a gear change.
The system never suggests:
-
e
ngaging first gear,
-
enga

ging reverse gear,
-

e
ngaging a lower gear.
System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up.
Operation
The system intervenes only when driving
economically.
dep

ending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one or more gears. You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory. In fact, the
configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors when
choosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated. Example:
-

T
he system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear, if appropriate.
-
Y
ou are in third gear.
-
Y
ou press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
* d
ep
ending on engine.With an electronic or automatic
gearbox, the system is only active in
manual mode.
The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow accompanied by
the suggested gear.
driving

123
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - SToP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The
engine restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level
when stationary.
Operation
- with a manual gearbox , at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), when you put the gear
lever into neutral, and you release the
clutch pedal.
-

w
ith a 5 or 6-speed electronic gearbox ,
when stationary or at speeds below 5 mph
(8 km/h) (depending on version), when you
press the brake pedal or put the gear lever
in position N .
Going into engine STOP
mode
The "ECO" warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby:
a

time counter calculates the sum
of the periods in ST
oP m

ode
during a journey. It rests itself
to zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the key.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:
- t he driver's door is open,
-

t
he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-

t
he vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last engine start using
t h e key,
-

t
he engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
-
d

emisting is active,
-
s

ome special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.
The "ECO" warning lamp flashes for
a few seconds then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Stop & Start
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key. For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, ST
oP m
ode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
ST
oP m
ode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering...
