creep function
(depending on equipment)
This function allows the vehicle to be
manoeuvred more easily at low speeds
(when
parking, in traffic jams...).
With
the gear lever in position A, M or R , the
vehicle moves as soon as you take your
foot off the brake pedal , at low speed and
with
the engine at idle.
Automated mode
AUTO and the gear engaged appear i
n the instrument panel.
The
gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
m
ode,
without any action on the part of the
d
river.
It
continuously selects the most suitable
g
ear
taking account of:
-
o
ptimisation of fuel consumption,
-
d
riving style,
-
r
oad conditions,
-
v
ehicle load.
For
optimum acceleration, when overtaking
a
nother
vehicle for example, press the
a
ccelerator pedal fully down, beyond the point
of
resistance. You
can change mode at any time by
m
oving the gear lever from A to M or
the
other way round.
The
creep
function
may
be
temporarily
u
navailable
if
the
clutch
temperature
is

oo
high
or
the
slope
too
steep.

Temporary control of gear
changing
You can temporarily take over control of gear c hanges using the steering mounted "+" and
"-"
control paddles: if the engine speed allows,
t
he gear change is carried out.

Stop & StartThe Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect
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
For your comfort, during parking manoeuvres, STOP mode is not
a
vailable for a few seconds after
coming
out of reverse gear.
STOP
mode does not affect the

Cruise control
System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the value programmed
b
y the driver, without any action on the
accelerator
ped
al.
The cruise control is switched on
m
anually:
it r
equires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(
40 km/h), as well as the engagement of:
-
f
ourth gear on a manual gearbox,
-
s
econd gear on a or automatic or electronic
g
earbox, in sequential mode,
-
position A
on an electronic gearbox or
p
osition d on an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off
m
anually
o
r by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or
o
n triggering of the ESP system for safety
r
easons.
It
is possible to exceed the programmed speed
t
emporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
To
return to the programmed speed, simply
r
elease the accelerator pedal.

Operation
When your vehicle is too close to or
approaches the vehicle ahead too quickly the
s
ystem automatically applies the brakes to
a
void a collision. The
collision can be avoided automatically if the d
ifference in speed between your vehicle and the
vehicle
ahead does not exceed 9 mph (15 km/h).
Above
this threshold, the system will do what
i
s possible to avoid or reduce the accident by
lowering
the speed of impact.
The
automatic braking may bring the vehicle to
a
complete stop if the situation requires it.
In this case, the vehicle is held stationary
temporarily
(for about 1.5 seconds) to allow
t
he driver to take back control by pressing the
b
rake
ped
al.
You are then alerted by the display of a
message.
The
brake lamps on your vehicle come on to
w
arn other road users.
After
an impact, the system is
a
utomatically put out of service: it no
lon
ger
ope
rates.
You
must go to a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified workshop to have the system
m
ade operational again.
During
automatic braking, the driver
c
an always obtain a higher rate of
d
eceleration than that controlled by the
system,
by pressing firmly on the brake
ped
al.
The
triggering of the system may cause
t
he engine to stall, unless the driver
d
epresses the clutch pedal quickly
e
nough during automatic braking.
