There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
- i f you press the accelerator and
brake
  pedals   at   the   same   time,
-
 
i
f   you   force   the   movement   of   the  
s

elector   from   the   P position to
another position when the battery
is
  flat.

Operating fault
Manual operation
When the ignition is on, the lighting o
f   this   warning   lamp,   accompanied  
b

y
 
an
 
audible   signal   and   a   message   in   the  
m

ultifunction   screen,   indicates   a   gearbox   fault.
In
 
this
 
case,   the   gearbox   switches   to   back-up  
m

ode
 
and
 
is   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  
d

amage
 
to
 
the   gearbox.
Do
 
not

Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can engage p osition P or
n 
to   place   the   gearbox   in   neutral.
In
  both   cases,   apply   the   parking   brake   to  
i

mmobilise   the   vehicle.
Invalid value during manual
operation
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the gear   selected   flashes   for   a   few   seconds,   then  
t

he   actual   gear   engaged   is   displayed.
It
  is   possible   to   change   from   position  d
(automatic)
  to   position   M   (manual)   at   any   time.
When
  the   vehicle   is   stationary   or   moving  
v

ery   slowly,   the   gearbox   selects   gear   M1
automatically.

  sport   and   snow   programmes   do   not

Rear parking sensors
System consisting of four proximity sensors, located   in   the   rear   bumper.
This
  detects   any   obstacle   (person,   vehicle,  
t

ree,   gate,   etc.)   behind   the   vehicle,   except  
o

bstacles   located   just   below   the   bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks cone   or   any   other   similar   object   may b

e   detected   at   the   beginning   of   the
 m

anoeuvre,   but   may   no   longer   be   detected
 w

hen   the   vehicle   comes   close   to   it.
The parking sensor system cannot in any   circumstances   be   a   substitute   for  
v

igilance   on   the   part   of   the   driver.
The
 
system   is   activated   as   soon   as   reverse  
g

ear
 
is   engaged,   accompanied   by   an   audible  
s

ignal.   The   proximity   information   is   given   by:
-
 
a

n   audible   signal,   which   becomes   more  
r

apid as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
-
 
a

 
graphic   (according   to   version)   in   the  
m

ultifunction   screen,   with   blocks   which  
b

ecome   increasingly   closer   to   the   vehicle.
Activation
When the distance between the rear of the vehicle
and
  the   obstacle   is   less   than   thirty   centimetres,   the a

udible   signal   becomes   continuous   and   the   "Danger"
 s

ymbol   appears   in   the   multifunction   screen.
On
  completion   of   the   manoeuvre,   when   you   exit
 r

everse   gear,   the   system   becomes   inactive.

LEd / Xenon front lamps
For motoring in countries that drive on the other s

Braking assistance systems
Group of supplementary systems which help you   to   obtain   optimum   braking   in   complete  
s

afety   in   emergency   situations:
-
 
a
nti-lock   braking   system   (ABS),
-
 
e
lectronic   brake   force   distribution   (EBFD),
-
 
e
mergency   braking   assistance   (EBA).Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability and manoeuvrability   of   your   vehicle   when   braking,  
i

n   particular   on   poor   or   slippery   sur faces.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes into operation   automatically   when   there   is   a   risk   of  
w

heel   lock.
Normal
  operation   of   the   ABS   may   make   itself  
f

elt   by   slight   vibration   of   the   brake   pedal.
When
  braking   in   an   emergency,   press  
v

ery   firmly   without   releasing   the  
p

ressure.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on, together   with   the   STOP and ABS
warning
  lamps,   accompanied   by   an  
a

udible
 
signal   and   a   message   in   the   screen,   it  
i

ndicates
 
a   malfunction   of   the   electronic   brake  
f

orce distribution which could result in loss of
control
 
of
  the   vehicle   when   braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
When
  replacing   wheels   (tyres   and  
r

ims),   ensure   that   they   conform   to   the  
ma

nufacturer's
 r
ecommendations.
If

Advice on child seats
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle  compromises   the   child's   protection  
i

n   the   event   of   an   accident.
Check
  that   there   is   no   seat   belt   or   seat   belt  
b

uckle   under   the   child   seat   as   this   could  
de

stabilise
 i
t.
Remember
  to   fasten   the   seat   belts   or   the  
c

hild seat harness keeping the slack in
relation
  to   the   child's   body   to a minimum,
even
  for   short   journeys.
To
  install   a   child   seat   using   the   vehicle's  
s

eat belt, ensure that the belt is well
tightened
  on   the   child   seat   and   that   it   holds  
t

he   child   seat   firmly   against   the   vehicle's  
s

eat.   If   your   passenger   seat   is   adjustable,  
m

ove   it   for ward   if   necessary.
On
  the   rear   seats,   always   leave   enough  
s

pace   between   the   front   seat   and:
-
 
a
  rear ward   facing   child   seat,
-
 
t
he   child's   feet   when   in   a   for ward   facing  
c

hild   seat.
To
  do   this,   move   the   front   seat   for ward   and,  
i

f   necessary,   also   straighten   its   backrest.
Children at the front
The legislation on carrying a child on the front   passenger   seat   is   specific   to   each  
c

o unt r y.
Refer
  to   the   current   legislation   in   your  
c

o unt r y.
Deactivate
  the   passenger's   front   airbag  
w

hen   a   rear ward   facing   child   seat   is  
i

nstalled   on   the   front   seat.   Other wise   the  
c

hild   risks   being   seriously   injured   or   killed   if  
t

he   airbag   is   deployed.
Installation of a booster cushion
The chest part of the seat belt must be positioned   on   the   child's   shoulder   without  
t

ouching   the   neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes
  correctly   over   the   child's   thighs.
CITROËN
  recommends   the   use   of   a  
b

ooster   seat   which   has   a   back,   fitted   with   a  
s

eat   belt   guide   at   shoulder   level.
As
  a   safety   precaution,   do   not   leave:
-
 
o
ne   or   more   children   alone   and  
u

nsupervised in a vehicle,
-
 
a
  child   or   an   animal   in   a   vehicle   which  
i

s   exposed   to   the   sun,   with   the   windows  
c

losed,
-
 
k
eys   within   the   reach   of   children   inside  
t

he   vehicle.
Use
  the   child   lock   to   prevent   any   accidental  
o

pening   of   the   rear   doors   or   windows.
Avoid
  opening   the   rear   windows   by   more  
t

han   a   third.
To
  protect   young   children   from   the   rays   of  
t

he   sun,   fit   side   blinds   on   the   rear   windows.
For
 
optimum
 
installation
 
of
 
a
 
for ward
 
facing
 c
hild
 
seat,
 
ensure
 
that
 
the
 
back
 
of
 
the
 
child
 s
eat
 
is
 
as
 
close
 
as
 
possible
 
to
 
the
 
back
 
of
 
t

he
 
vehicle's
 
seat,
 
in
 
contact
 
if
 
possible.
You
 
must
 
remove
 
the
 
head
 
restraint
 
before
 
f

itting
 
a
 
child
 
seat
 
on
 
a
 
passenger
 
seat.
 
E

nsure that the head restraint is stowed or
attached
 
securely
 
to
 
prevent
 
it
 
from
 
being
 
t

hrown around the vehicle in the event of
sharp
 
braking.
 
Refit
 
the
 
head
 
restraint
 
once
 
t

he
 
child
 
seat
 
has
 
been
 
removed.
