Mode selection Displays on the instrument panel
automatic mode: gear lever in
position D ,
sequential mode: gear lever in
position M ,
SPORT mode: gear lever in po-
sition D and button A pressed,
SNOW mode: gear lever in posi-
tion D and button B pressed. The position of the gear lever and
the driving mode are displayed on

A position grille associated with the
gear lever allows you to view the
selected position.
For safety:
- position P can be disen-
gaged only if you press
the brake pedal,
- when a door is opened, an au- dible signal is heard if the gear
lever is not in position P ,
- always make sure that the gear lever is in position P before you
leave your vehicle.
I f t h e g e a r b o x i s i n p o s i t i o n P but
the position of the gear lever is dif-
ferent, reposition the gear lever on
P so that you can start the vehicle.
AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
A u t o m a t i c g e a r b o x w h i c h o f f e r s a
choice between the comfort of fully
automatic operation, enhanced by
the sport and snow programmes, or
manual gear changing.
Four driving modes are provided:
- automatic operation for elec-
tronic control of the gears by the
g e a r b o x ,
- the SPORT programme for a
more dynamic driving style,
- the SNOW programme to im-
prove driving when the grip is
poor,
- manual operation for sequen-
tial changing of the gears by the
driver.

Never select positions P or R
if the vehicle is not stationary.
If, while the vehicle is moving, po-
sition N is engaged inadvertently,
allow the engine to idle before en-
gaging position D or M .
Moving off
To start the engine, the gear
lever must be in position P or N .
Operate the starter.
When the engine is running,
place the gear lever on R , D or
M as required.
Check, in the instrument panel,
the position engaged.
Release the brake pedal and ac-
celerate.
To avoid a possible difference
between the position of the gear
lever and the actual position of
t h e g e a r b o x , a l w a y s e x i t f r o m
position P with the ignition on
and brake pedal applied.
Otherwise, when the ignition is on or
the engine is running:
reposition the gear lever in posi-
tion P ,
put your foot on the brake ped-
al and then select the gear you
want. Park
This position of the gear le-
ver is used to prevent the
vehicle from moving when
you are stationary.
To select position P, move the
gear lever back to the highest
position (towards R ), then push
it forwards and then to the left.
T o e x i t p o s i t i o n P , move the gear
lever to the right and then to the
position you want.
Only engage this position when
the vehicle is completely sta-
tionary. In this position, the front
wheels are locked. Make sure
that the gear lever is correctly
positioned. Reverse gear
Only engage this position
when the vehicle is station-
ary. To prevent snatching,
do not accelerate too soon
after selection.

Brake pads Brake wear depends on
the style of driving, par-
ticularly in the case of ve-
hicles used in town, over
short distances. It may be
necessary to have the condition of
the brakes checked, even between
vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a

The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no
oil change).
Automatic gearbox The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no
oil change). Brake disc wear
For information relating to
checking the brake disc
wear, contact a CITROËN
dealer.
Parking brake If a loss of effectiveness
of this system is noticed,
the parking brake must be
checked, even between
two services.
This system must be checked by a
CITROËN dealer. Only use products recom-
mended by CITROËN or
products of equivalent quality
a n d s p e c i fi c a t i o n s .
Do not use a dry cloth with an abra-
sive product for the maintenance of
aluminium parts; use a sponge and
soapy water.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
system, CITROËN selects and of-
