When a low level of ambient light is detected 
by a sunshine sensor, the number plate 
lamps, 
 s
idelamps and dipped beam headlamps 
are switched on automatically, without any 
action on the part of the driver. They can also 
come on if rain is detected, at the same time as 
automatic operation of the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the ambient light returns to a 
sufficient level or after the windscreen wipers 
are switched off, the lamps are switched off 
automatically.
Activation
F Turn the ring to the "AUTO"  position. The 
activation of the function is accompanied 
by the display of a message in the screen.
deactivation
F Turn the ring to another position.  Deactivation of the function is accompanied 
by the display of a message in the screen.
Automatic guide-me-home 
lighting
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the 
sunshine sensor, the lighting comes 
on, this warning lamp is displayed 
in the instrument panel and/or a 
message appears in the screen, 
accompanied by an audible signal. In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor 
may detect sufficient light. In this 
case, the lighting will not come on 
automatically.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, 
coupled with the rain sensor and 
located in the centre of the windscreen 
behind the rear view mirror; the 
associated functions would no longer 
be controlled.
When the automatic illumination of headlamps 
function is activated (lighting control stalk in the 
"
AUTO " position), under low ambient light the 
dipped beam headlamps remain on when the 
ignition is switched off.
Programming
Activation or deactivation, as well 
as the duration of the guide-me-
home lighting, is set in the vehicle 
configuration menu.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.

With the ignition on or the engine running, to 
release the parking brake, press on the brake 
pedal  or the accelerator, pull then release  
control A .
Manual release
Before leaving the vehicle, ensure 
that parking brake warning lamp in the 
instrument panel is on fixed, not flashing.
Manual application
With the vehicle stationary, to apply the parking 
brake whether the engine is running or off, pull  
control lever A .
The application of the parking brake is 
confirmed by: -
 i
llumination of the braking warning 
lamp and of the P  warning lamp in 
the control lever A ,
-
 
d
 isplay of the message "Parking 
brake on".
When the driver’s door is opened with the 
engine running, a message is displayed 
accompanied by an audible signal if the parking 
brake has not been applied, except in the case 
of an automatic gearbox with the gear selector 
in position P . The full application of the parking brake is 
confirmed by:
-
 
t
 he braking warning lamp and 
the P warning lamp in the control 
lever A going off,
-
 
d
 isplay of the message "Parking 
brake off ".
If you pull control lever A without 
pressing the brake pedal, the parking 
brake will not be released and a 
warning lamp will come on in the 
instrument panel.
Maximum application
If necessary, you can make a maximum 
application  of the parking brake. This is 
obtained by means of a  long pull on the control 
lever A , until you see the message "Parking 
brake on maximum" and a beep is heard.
Maximum application is essential:
-
 
i
 n the case of a vehicle towing a caravan 
or a trailer, if the automatic functions are 
activated but you are applying the parking 
brake manually,
-
 
w
 hen the gradient you are parked on may 
vary (e.g. on a ferry, on a lorry, during 
towing),
In the case of towing, a loaded vehicle 
or parking on a gradient, make a 
maximum application of the parking 
brake then turn the front wheels 
towards the pavement and engage a 
gear when you park.
After a maximum application, the 
release time will be longer.

the brakes released, if position R
, 
d  or 
M is selected, the vehicle moves even 
without the accelerator being pressed.
Never leave children unsupervised in 
the vehicle when the engine is running.
When carrying out maintenance with 
the engine running, apply the parking 
brake and select position P .
Automatic operation
F Select position d  for automatic changing 
of the six gears.
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive 
mode, without any intervention on the part 
of the driver. It continuously selects the most 
suitable gear according to the style of driving, 
the profile of the road and the load in the 
vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without touching 
the selector, press the accelerator pedal down 
fully (kick down). The gearbox changes down 
automatically or maintains the gear selected 
until the maximum engine speed is reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down 
automatically to provide effective engine 
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the 
gearbox will not change to a higher gear for 
safety reasons.
Never select position 
n  while the 
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless 
the vehicle is completely stationary.
If position 
n
 is engaged inadvertently 
while driving, allow the engine to 
return to idle then engage position 
d

accelerate.
If you do not press the brake pedal when 
trying to move the gear selector out 
of position P , this warning lamp or this 
symbol appears in the instrument panel accompanied 
by a message, flashing of the P symbol, the display of 
a message and an audible signal.

Invalid value during manual 
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear 
is not engaged correctly (selector 
between two positions).
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, put the selector 
in 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 selector is not in position P , 
when the driver's door is opened or 
approximately 45 seconds after the 
ignition is switched off, there is an 
audible signal and a message appears.
F
 
R
 eturn the selector to position P ; 
the audible signal stops and the 
message disappears.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, a message appears 
in the instrument panel screen to indicate a 
gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up 
mode 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 
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed 
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop. You risk damaging the gearbox:
-
 
i
 f you press the accelerator and 
brake pedals at the same time,
-
 
i
 f you force the selector from 
position P to another position when 
the battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when 
stationary for long periods with the 
engine running (traffic jam...), position 
the gear selector at 
n  and apply the 
parking brake, unless it is programmed 
in automatic mode.

On a steep descent or in the event of 
sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will 
not be able to prevent the vehicle from 
exceeding the programmed speed.The use of mats not approved by 
CITROËN may inter fere with the 
operation of the speed limiter.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the 
pedals:
-
 
e
 nsure that the mat is positioned 
c o r r e c t l y,
-
 
d

Temporarily exceeding the 
programmed speed
F If you want to temporarily exceed the programmed limit speed, press firmly  on 
the accelerator pedal, going beyond the 
point of resistance .
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily 
and the displayed programmed speed flashes. When the limit speed is exceeded but is not 
due to action by the driver, there is an audible 
signal to complete the alert.
Once the speed of the vehicle returns to 
the programmed setting, the speed limiter 
functions again: the display of the programmed 
speed setting becomes steady again.
Switching off
F Turn wheel 1 to the "0"
 position: the 
display of information on the speed limiter 
disappears.
Operating fault
Flashing dashes indicate a fault with the speed 
limiter.
