to the - sign to change to a
lower gear. You can change from position D
(automatic mode) to position M
(manual mode) at any time.
Stopping the vehicle, starting
the engine
Reverse gear
- Select position R
, with the
vehicle stationary and the
engine at idle.
If the battery is fl at and the lever is
in position P
, it will be impossible
to change to another position.
- Select position P
to
immobilise the vehicle
or
to start the engine
, with
the handbrake on or off.
- You can also select
position N

is engaged
inadvertently while driving, allow
the engine to return to idle before
engaging position D
to accelerate.
Manual mode

pressing.
- Select lever position M
, In manual mode, it is only possible to
change from one gear to another if
the vehicle speed and engine speed
permit. If they do not, the vehicle will

Good practice
Never select position N
when the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P
or R
unless
the vehicle is stationary.
Never change between positions to
optimise braking on a slippery surface.
There is a risk of damage to the
gearbox:
- if you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,
- if you force the lever from position P
to another position in the event of a
battery failure.
When the engine is at idle, brakes
not applied, if position R
, D
or M
is
selected the vehicle moves even
without the accelerator being pressed.
For this reason, do not leave children
unsupervised inside the vehicle,
with the engine running
.
Operating abnormality
Any operating abnormality is indicated
by an audible signal, accompanied by
the message "Automatic gear fault"
on the display and fl ashing of the Snow
snowfl ake on the instrument panel.
In this situation the gearbox operates
in downgrade mode (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),
keeping within the limit of local speed
restrictions.
Contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as
possible.
You can return to the automatic
programme at any time.
- Press button

and drive when traction is
poor. The snowfl ake appears on the
instrument panel display.
- Press button
7 once the
vehicle has been started
and position D
selected.
The gearbox adapts to driving
on slippery roads.
