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 lever 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 lever 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.



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 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:


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

- if you force the lever 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 lever at N
and apply the
parking brake, unless it is programmed
in automatic mode.

121Driving

Engagement of reverse gear is
accompanied by an audible signal.

If the engine does not start:


- If N
is flashing in the instrument
panel, move the gear lever to
position A
then to position N
.

- If the message "foot on the brake"
is displayed, press the brake pedal
firmly.

When the engine is idling with the
brakes off, if position R
, A
or M
is
selected, the vehicle will move off
on its own without any action on the
accelerator.


If the message " foot on the
brake
" is displayed in the
instrument panel, press the
brake pedal firmly.



Moving off




To start the engine, place the gear lever in
position N
.


Press the brake pedal down fully.


Start the engine.



Select a mode (position M
or A
) or reverse
(position R
).


Release the parking brake unless it is
programmed to automatic mode.


Take your foot off the brake pedal, then
accelerate.

A
UTO and 1
or R
appear in the
instrument panel screen.

Automatic mode




After starting the vehicle, select position A

for enter automatic mode.

A
UTO
and the gear engaged appear
in the instrument panel screen.
The gearbox is then operating in auto-active
mode, without any action on the part of the
driver. It continuously selects the most suitable
gear, depending on the:


- style of driving,

- profile of the road.

For optimum acceleration, for example
when overtaking another vehicle, press
the accelerator pedal firmly past the
point of resistance.

Manual gear changing




When the vehicle has moved off, select
position M
to change to manual mode.


Operate the +
or -
steering mounted control
paddles.

A
UTO
disappears and the gears
engaged appear successively in the
instrument panel screen. The gear change requests are only carried out
if the engine speed permits.
It is not necessary to release the accelerator
during gear changes.
When braking or slowing down, the gearbox
changes down automatically to permit
acceleration in the correct gear.
This selective gear change mode enables you
to overtake, for example, while still remaining in
automatic mode.



Operate the +
or -
steering mounted control
paddle.
The gearbox engages the gear requested if the
engine speed permits. AUTO
is still displayed
in the instrument panel.
After a few moments without any action on
the controls, the gearbox resumes automatic
control of the gears.



Manual mode


At very low speed, if reverse gear is
requested, this will only be taken into
account when the vehicle is immobilised
(foot on the brake). A warning lamp
appears in the instrument panel screen.

On sharp acceleration in manual mode,
the gearbox will not change up unless
the driver acts on the gear lever or the
steering mounted paddles.
Never select neutral N
while the vehicle
is moving.
Only engage reverse gear R
when the
vehicle is immobilised with the brake
pedal pressed.

Under-inflation alert


The aler t is given by the fixed illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal, and depending on
equipment, the display of a message.


In the event of a problem on one of the tyres,
the symbol or the message appears, according
to equipment, to identify it.



Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering
movements or harsh brake applications.


Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.


In the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (according to equipment),
or


if you have a compressor, the one in the
temporary puncture repair kit for example,
check the four tyre pressures when cold,
or


if it is not possible to check the tyre
pressures at the time, drive carefully at
reduced speed.

The alert is maintained until the tyre or
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or a
steel rim) does not have a sensor.


The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of the
tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.


Operating fault


The flashing and then fixed
illumination of the under-inflation
warning lamp accompanied by the
illumination of the "ser vice" warning
lamp indicates a fault with the system.

This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels is not fitted with a sensor
(for example, a space-saver or steel
spare wheel).

Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked or,
following the repair of a puncture, to have the
original wheel, equipped with a sensor, refitted.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.

129Driving

The system is reactivated automatically
at every new start using the START/
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 then
comes on continuously.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the vehicle
may stall.
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come
on.
Depending on version, an alert message may also
be displayed, asking you to place the gear lever in
position N
and put your foot on the brake pedal.
It is then necessary to switch off the ignition and
start the engine again using the "START/STOP"
button.
Before doing anything under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
system to avoid any risk of injury
resulting from automatic operation of
START mode.
This system 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 & Start system makes use of
advanced technology. For any work on
the system go to a qualified workshop
with the skills and equipment required,
which a CITROËN dealer is able to
provide.

(rain and/or snow, bright sunshine, ...)
the head-up display may not be legible
or may suffer temporary inter ference.
Some sunglasses may hamper reading
of the information.
To clean the transparent strip, use a
clean, soft cloth (such as a spectacles
cloth or microfibre cloth). Do not use
a dry or abrasive cloth or detergent or
solvent products as these could scratch
the strip or damage the anti-reflection
coating.
