In good or rainy weather, by both day
and night, the front foglamps and the
rear foglamps are prohibited. In these
situations, the power of their beams may
dazzle other drivers. They should only be
used in fog or falling snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility to switch on the foglamps
and dipped headlamps manually as the
sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light.
Switch off the front and rear foglamps
when they are no longer necessary.
Switching off of the lighting when the
ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of the
lighting turns off immediately, except for
dipped beam headlamps if automatic
guide-me-home lighting is activated.Switching on the lighting after the
ignition is switched off
To reactivate the lighting control stalk,

If you purchased your vehicle outside the
CITROËN dealer network, we invite you to
have a
dealer check the configuration of
these ser vices and, if desired, modify it to
suit your wishes. In a
multilingual country,
configuration is possible in the official
national language of your choice. For technical reasons and, in particular, to
improve the quality of Telematic ser vices

If the indicator lamp lights up continuously red:
there is a
system fault.
If the indicator lamp flashes red: replace the
back-up battery.
In either case, emergency and assistance calls
may not function.
Contact a
qualified repairer as soon as
possible. The list of countries covered and of Telematic
ser vices is available from dealers or on the

Keyless Entry and Starting key inside the
vehicle, pressing the "START/STOP" button,
with no action on the pedals, allows the
ignition to be switched on.
F
P

instrument panel comes on but the engine
does not start.
F
P
ress the button again to switch off the
ignition and allow the vehicle to be locked.
With the ignition on, the system
automatically changes to energy economy
mode when required to maintain an
adequate state of charge of the battery.
On certain versions with the automatic gearbox
(EAT6/EAT8), the steering column does not
lock.
Electric parking brake
The technology adopted for the electric
parking brake does not allow the fitment of
15-inch wheels.
Indicator lamp
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and in the control
lever to confirm the application of
the parking brake. It goes off to confirm the release of the parking
brake.
The indicator lamp in the control lever flashes
during manual application or release.
After applying the parking brake, the
simultaneous flashing of the indicator lamps
in the instrument panel and in the control lever
warns you to secure the immobilisation of the
vehicle by engaging a
gear (with a manual
gearbox or by placing the selector at position
P with an automatic gearbox or by placing
a chock against one of the wheels (e.g. parking
on a very steep slope or a steep slope with
a weak battery).
In the event of a battery failure, the
electric parking brake no longer works.
As a safety measure, if the parking brake
is not applied, immobilise the vehicle by
engaging a
gear (with a
manual gearbox)
or placing a chock against one of the
wheels.
Call a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The system provides, in automatic operation,
the application of the parking brake on
switching off the engine and release as the
vehicle moves off.
The driver can take over at any time to apply
or release the parking brake, by operating the
control lever:
-
b
y briefly pulling
the control lever to apply
the brake,
-
b
y briefly pushing
the control lever, while
pressing the brake pedal, to release it.
Automatic mode is activated by default.

Never select position N while the vehicle
is moving. If position N is selected by
mistake while driving, allow the engine
to return to idle, then select position D to
accelerate.
Never select position P or R unless the
vehicle is completely stationary.
If you wish to engage reverse gear,
to prevent jolting, do not accelerate
immediately after selecting R.
Selection of position R is accompanied by
the sound of a
beep.
In the event of a
battery failure, you
must place the chocks supplied with the
vehicle tools against one of the wheels to
immobilise the vehicle.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,
never try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.Automatic mode
F Select position D .
D and the gear engaged appear in the
instrument panel.
The gearbox operates in auto-adaptive mode,
without any action by the driver. It continuously
selects the gear best suited to the following
parameters:
-

ehicle load.
For maximum acceleration without touching
the selector, press the accelerator fully down
(kick-down). The gearbox changes down
automatically or holds the gear selected until
the maximum engine speed is reached.
When braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide effective engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the
gearbox will not change to a
higher gear for
safety reasons.
Temporary control of gear
changing
You can temporarily take control of gear
changes using the steering mounted control
paddles " +" and " -". The gear change
instruction is acted on if the engine speed
permits.
This function allows you to anticipate certain
situations, such as overtaking another vehicle
or approaching a
bend in the road.
After a
few moments with no action on the
control paddles, the gearbox returns to
automatic operation.
Manual mode
F Select position M .
F U se the steering mounted control paddles

The gears engaged are displayed in sequence
in the instrument panel.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving very
slowly, the gearbox automatically selects gear 1 .

In sequential mode, it is not necessary to
release the accelerator pedal when changing
g e a r.
Changing from one gear to another only
occurs if the vehicle speed and engine speed
conditions allow; other wise the gearbox will
operate temporarily in automatic mode.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the
gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then
the gear actually engaged is displayed.
Invalid value during manual operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).
You can change mode at any time by
moving the gear selector from D to M or
vice versa.

audible signal stops and the message
disappears.
Whatever the parking circumstances, you must
apply the parking brake manually to immobilise
the vehicle if automatic operation has been
deactivated.
In all circumstances, ensure that the
selector is in position P before leaving
your 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 In the event of a
battery failure, use the
chock to immobilise your vehicle.
Operating fault
If the gearbox malfunctions, the
Ser vice warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, accompanied
by a
message and an audible signal. Do not exceed 62
mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or
a
qualified workshop.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may then
feel a
substantial jolt when changing from P to
R and from N to R . This jolt will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Gear efficiency indicator
This system 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 efficiency recommendations are for
information only. In fact, the road layout, the
traffic density and safety remain the deciding
factors when choosing the best gear. The driver
therefore remains responsible for deciding
whether or not to follow the indications issued
by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual mode.
