Manual operation




Select position M
for sequential

changing of the six gears.


Push the lever towards the +
sign to
change up a gear.


Pull the lever towards the -
sign to
change down a gear.
It is only possible to change from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed and
engine speed permit; otherwise, the
gearbox will operate temporarily in au-
tomatic mode.

D
disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succes-
sion in the instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low
or too high, the gear selected
fl ashes for a few seconds, then the ac-
tual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change from position D

(automatic) to position M
(manual) at
any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or mov-
ing very slowly, the gearbox selects
gear M1
automatically.
The sport and snow programmes do
not operate in manual mode.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a
gear is not engaged correctly
(selector between two posi-
tions).



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, unless it is
programmed to automatic mode.

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,
there is an audible signal and a
message appears.



Return the lever to position P
;
the audible signal stops and
the message disappears.


You risk damaging the gearbox:


- if you press the accelera-
tor and brake pedals at the
same time,

- if you force the lever from
position P
to another position
when the battery is fl at. 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 gear-
box malfunction.
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), lo-
cal speed restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
This warning lamp may also come on if
a door is opened.

Operating fault

To reduce fuel consumption
when stationary for long periods
with the engine running (traffi c
jam...), position the gear lever
at N
and apply the parking brake,
unless it is programmed in auto-
matic mode.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION

System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as
the vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the
valve of a each tyres (except the spare
wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop
in pressure is detected in one or more
tyres.
The tyre under-infl ation detection sys-
tem is an aid to driving which does not
replace the need for the driver to be
vigilant or to drive responsibly.
This system does not avoid the
need to check the tyre pressures
regularly (including the spare
wheel) and before a long jour-
ney.
Driving with under-infl ated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and
causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous con-
ditions (vehicle loaded, high
speed, long journey).

Driving with under-infl ated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures for your vehi-
cle can be found on the tyre pres-
sure label (see the "Identifi cation
markings" section).
The tyre pressures must be
checked when the tyres cold
(vehicle stopped for 1 hour or
after driving for less then 6 miles
(10 km) at moderate speed).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the val-
ues indicated on the label.

STOP & START

The Stop & Start system puts the en-
gine temporarily into standby - STOP
mode - during stops in the traffi c (red
lights, traffi c jams, or other...). The en-
gine restarts automatically - START
mode - as soon as you want to move
off. The restart takes place instantly,
quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise
level when stationary.

Operation


Going into engine STOP mode

The "ECO"
warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and the en-
gine goes into standby automatically:


- with a manual gearbox
, at speeds
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you
put the gear lever into neutral and
release the clutch pedal, If your vehicle is fi tted with
the system, a time coun-
ter calculates the sum of
the periods in STOP mode
d uring a journey. It resets itself to zero
every time the ignition is switched on
with the key.

- with an electronic gearbox
, at a
speed below 5 mph (8 km/h), when
you press the brake pedal or put the
gear lever into position N
. With an electronic gearbox, for
your comfort during parking
maoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such
as braking, power steering, for
example.
Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

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

- the electric parking brake is applied
or being applied,

- the engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the pas-
senger compartment,

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature, brak-
ing assistance, ambient tempera-
ture...) where the engine is needed
to assure control of a system.
In this case, the "ECO"
warn-
ing lamp fl ashes for a few sec-
onds, then goes off. Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch off
the ignition with the key.

This operation is perfectly normal.

TECHNICAL DATA

IDENTIFICATION MARKINGS

Various visible markings for the identifi -
cation of your vehicle.

A. Vehicle identifi cation number (VIN)
under the bonnet.

This number is engraved on the bod-
ywork near the suspension damper
mounting.
B. Vehicle identifi cation number on
the dashboard.

This number is indicated on a self-ad-
hesive label which is visible through the
windscreen.
D. Tyre/paint label.

This label is affi xed to the driver's front
pillar.
The tyre pressures must be
checked when the tyres are
cold, at least once a month.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption.
C. Manufacturer's label.

The VIN is indicated on a self-destroy-
ing label affi xed to the driver's centre
pillar. It bears the following information:


- the tyre pressures, for unladen and
laden conditions,

- the tyre sizes (including the load in-
dex and speed rating),

- the spare tyre infl ation pressure,

- the paint colour code.
