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.
Stopping the vehicle
door is opened or approximately 45 seconds
a fter the ignition is switched off, an audible
signal sounds and a


message appears:
F

r
eposition the lever to position P ; the
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.

The information appears in the
instrument panel in the form of an
ar row.
With a
manual gearbox, the arrow may be
accompanied by the gear recommended.
This arrow may be pointing up or down,
depending on the context.
The system adapts its gear efficiency
recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the
driver's requirements (power, acceleration,
b r a k i n g , e t c .) .
The system never suggests:
-
e

ngaging first gear,
-
enga

ging reverse gear.
Stop & Start
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or
other, etc.). The engine restarts automatically –
START mode – as soon as you wish to move off
again.
Restarting occurs instantaneously, quickly and
silently.

"START/STOP" button. For your convenience, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available
for a
few seconds after coming out of
reverse gear.
The Stop & Start system does not modify
the vehicle's functions, such as, for
example, braking, power steering, etc.

The adaptive cruise control uses only
engine braking to slow the vehicle.
Consequently the vehicle loses speed
slowly, as when releasing the accelerator
pedal.
The regulation range is limited: there will
no longer be any adjustment of speed if the
difference between the programmed speed
setting and the speed of the vehicle in front
becomes too high (19 mph (30 km/h)).
If the difference between the programmed
speed setting and the speed of the
vehicle in front is too great, the speed
cannot be adjusted: the cruise control is
automatically deactivated.
General information
The adaptive cruise control is switched on
manually, it requires the speed of the vehicle
to be between 25
mph (40 km/h) and 93 mph
(150


km/h) and the engagement of:
-

t
hird gear or higher with a manual gearbox,
-

s
econd gear in manual mode with an
automatic gearbox,
-
position D with an automatic gearbox. If the cruise speed setting is above
93
mph (150 km/h), the adaptive cruise
control switches to standard cruise control
mode, without automatic regulation of the
inter-vehicle safety distance (a message
appears in the instrument panel).
The adaptive cruise control cannot in any
circumstances replace the obser vation of
speed limits, nor the need for the vigilance
on the part of the driver.
It is recommended that you always keep
your feet close to the pedals.
The adaptive cruise control can be paused
manually or automatically:

157
When the cruise control is working, take
care if keeping pressed one of the cruise
control programmed speed change
buttons: this can lead to a very rapid
change in the speed of your vehicle.
Do not use adaptive cruise control on
slippery sur faces or in heavy traffic.
When descending a


steep hill, the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the programmed speed.
On steep climbs or when towing, the
programmed speed may not be reached
or maintained.
The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with the operation
of the cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
-

e
nsure that mats are secured correctly,
-

n
ever fit one mat on top of another. Operation of the radar, located in the
front bumper, may be impaired by the
accumulation of dirt (dust, mud, etc.) or in
certain weather conditions (snow, frost,
e t c .) .
The message "SYSTEM INACTIVE:
Reduced visibility". is displayed to indicate
that the function is in standby.
Clean the front bumper regularly.
If the front bumper is to be repainted or
retouched, contact a
CITROËN dealer
or a
qualified workshop. Certain types of
paint could inter fere with the operation of
the radar.
Adaptive cruise control
until vehicle is stopped/
until 19
mph (30 km/h)
Function until vehicle is stopped : with
automatic gearbox
Function until 19
mph (30 km/h): with manual
gearbox This system provides the following
functions:
-

A
utomatically maintains the
vehicle at the speed set by the
driver.
-
A
utomatic adjustment of the
distance between your vehicle
and the one in front.
Cruise control remains active after
changing gear regardless of the gearbox
type.
It manages the acceleration and deceleration
of the vehicle by automatically acting on the
engine and the braking system. With an automatic gearbox, automatic
adjustment of the distance can cause your
vehicle to come to a complete stop.
For this purpose there is a radar installed in the
front bumper.

Driving

158
Primarily designed for driving on main
roads and motor ways, this system only
works on moving vehicles, driving in the
same direction as your vehicle.
Principle of operation
The system automatically adapts the speed of
your vehicle to that of the vehicle in front, to
maintain a


constant distance.
If the vehicle in front is driving more slowly, the
system slows or even stops your vehicle, using
engine braking and the braking system (for
versions fitted with an automatic gearbox).
If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes
lane, the cruise control progressively
accelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed speed.
If the driver operates a
direction indicator to
overtake a
slower vehicle, the cruise control
allows your vehicle to temporarily approach
the vehicle in front to assist the overtaking
manoeuvre, though never exceeding the
programmed speed.
The brake lamps illuminate as soon as
the braking system is activated with
deceleration of the vehicle. This system is a
driving aid that cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the need to
obser ve speed limits and safety distances,
nor the need for vigilance on the part of
the driver.
Some vehicles present on the road may
not be properly seen or may be poorly
interpreted by the camera and/or radar
(e.g. a lorry), which may lead to a poor
assessment of the distances and lead to
the vehicle inappropriately accelerating or
braking.
The driver must be ready at all times
to retake control of their vehicle by
permanently holding both hands on the
steering wheel and keeping their feet near
the brake and accelerator pedals.
