Return the lever 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 agearbox 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 Pto R
and from Nto R. This will not cause anydamage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (10 0 km/h), local speedrestrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.
You risk damaging the gearbox:


- if you press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time,

- if you force the lever from position Pto another position when the batteryis flat.

To reduce fuel consumption whenstationary for long periods with theengine running (traffic jam...), position
the gear lever at Nand apply theparking brake, unless it is programmed in automatic mode.

and that the parking brake is applied.

Stopping the vehicle

With the ignition on, the flashing of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal and a message
in the instrument panel screen, indicates a
mal
function of the gearbox.
Have it checked by CITROËN or a qualified
workshop. Be
fore switching off the engine, you canchoose to:
- move to position N
to engage neutral,
- leave the gear engaged; in this case, it will
not be possible to move the vehicle.
In both cases, you should apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.


Operating fault

Sport setting
)
After selection of manual
or automated mode, press
the Sbutton to switch on the Sport setting, which providesa more dynamic driving style. Sappears alongside the gear
engaged in the instrument panelscreen.)Press the Sbutton again to switch it off. Sthen disappears from the instrument panel screen.
The Sport setting is switched off every time the
ignition is switched off.

Stop & Start The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...).
The engine restar ts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restar t takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per
fect for urban use, the Stop & Star t system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and theengine goes into standby:
- with the electronic
gearboxsystem,at speeds below 5 mph (8 km/h), press
the brake pedal or put the gear lever inposition N.
If your vehicle is fitted with the system, a timecounter calculates the sum of the periods in STOP mode during a journey. It rests itself to
zero every time the ignition is switched on with
the STA R T/STOP button.
Never refuel with the engine in STOPmode; you must switch off the ignition with the STA R T/STOP button.
For your comfor t, during parkingmaoeuvres, STOP mode is not available for a few seconds after coming out of reverse gear.STOP mode does not affect the functionality of the vehicle, such as for example, braking, power steering...


Special cases: STOP mode not available
STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph(10 km/h) since the last engine start usingthe START/STOP button,

- the electric parking brake is applied or
being applied,

- the engine is needed to maintain acomfor table temperature in the passenger compartment,

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance,ambient temperature...) where the engine isneeded to assure control of a system.
In this case, the
"ECO"warning
lamp flashes for a few seconds then goes off.
This operation is per fectly normal.

The system is reactivated automaticallyat every new star t using the STA R T/STOP button.

Reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF"switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the switch warning lamp going off and a
message in the screen.

Operating fault

In the event of a fault with the system, the
"ECO OFF"
switch warning lamp flashes thencomes on continuously.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall. It is then necessary to switch
off the ignition and star t the engine again using
the STA R T/STOP button.

Before doing anything under the bonnet,deactivate the Stop & Start system toavoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of START mode.
This s
ystem requires a 12 V battery with a special specification and technology (reference numbers available from CITROËN dealers).
Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN
introduces the risk of malfunction of the system.
For charging, use a 12 V charger and do not
reverse the polarity.

Maintenance


The Stop & Star t system makes use of advanced technology. For any work onthe system go to a qualified workshop with the skills and equipment required, which a CITROËN dealer is able toprovide.

Lane departure warning system
System which, using a camera which
recognises solid or broken lines, detects the
involuntary crossing of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the ground.
To provide safe driving, the camera analyses
the image then, if the driver's attention drops,
triggers a warning if the vehicle drifts over a
lane marking (speed higher than 50 mph (80 km/h)).
This system is par ticularly useful on motor waysand main roads.

Visibility

Lighting left on audible signal
An audible signal when a front door
is opened warns the driver that the vehicle's exterior lighting is on, with theignition off and in manual lighting mode.
In this case, switching off the lighting stops the audible signal.
With the ignition off, if the dipped headlamps remain on, the vehicle goes into "ECO" mode to avoid discharging the battery.

In some weather conditions (e.g. low temperature or humidity), the presence of misting on the internal sur face of theglass of the headlamps and rear lampsis normal; it disappears after the lamps have been on for a few minutes.

The daytime runninglamps can be activated and deactivated via the configuration menu.



The lighting goes off when you switchoff the ignition, but you can always switch it on again using the lighting control stalk.
Daytime running lamps
