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.

Gear shift indicator*
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most appropriate gear.The information appears in the instrument 
panel in the form of an arrow.Example:
-
 
Y
 ou are in third gear.
-
 
Y
 ou press the accelerator pedal.
-
 
T
 he system may suggest that you engage 
a higher gear.
On vehicle fitted with a manual gearbox, 
the arrow may be accompanied by the 
gear recommended.
The system adapts its gear change 
recommendation according to the 
driving conditions (slope, load, ...) and 
the demands of the driver (power, 
acceleration, braking, ...).
The system never suggests:
-
 
e
 ngaging first gear,
-
 enga
ging reverse gear.
With an electronic or automatic 
gearbox, the system is only active in 
manual mode.
Operation
* Depending on engine.
Depending on the driving situation and your 
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise 
you to skip one (or more) gear(s). You can 
follow this instruction without engaging the 
intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations must 
not be considered compulsory. In fact, the 
configuration of the road, the amount of traffic 
and safety remain determining factors when 
choosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver 
remains responsible for deciding whether or not 
to follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
On BlueHDi Diesel 135 and 150 versions with 
manual gearbox, in certain driving conditions 
the system may suggest changing into neutral 
so that the engine can go into standby (STOP 
mode with Stop & Start). In this case, N is 
displayed in the instrument panel.

Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP  
mode
The "E cO"  warning lamp comes on 
in the instrument panel and the engine 
goes into standby automatically:
-
 
w
ith a manual gearbox, at speeds below 
12 mph (20 km/h) or vehicle stationary with 
the BlueHDi 115 and 120 versions, when 
you place the gear lever in neutral and you 
release the clutch pedal,
-
 
w
ith an electronic gearbox, at speeds 
below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press 
the brake pedal or put the gear lever in 
position
 
N,
-
 
w
ith an automatic gearbox, vehicle 
stationary, when you press the brake pedal 
or put the gear lever in position N .If your vehicle is fitted with the 
system, a time counter calculates 
the sum of the periods in STOP 
mode during a journey. It resets itself 
to zero every time the ignition is 
switched on with the START/STOP 
button.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP 
mode; you must switch off the ignition 
with the START/STOP button. For your comfort, during parking 
maoeuvres, 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...
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 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.

Operating fault
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.
It is then necessary to switch off the ignition 
and start the engine again using the "START/
STOP" button.Before doing any work under the 
bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start 
system to avoid the risk of injury related 
to an automatic change to START 
mode.
This system requires the use of a 12 V battery 
of specific technology and characteristics 
(reference numbers available from a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN   would 
introduces the risk of faults with the system.
Maintenance
The Stop & Start system makes use of 
an advanced technology. All work on 
this type of battery must only be carried 
out by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.With the Touch screen tablet system
A fault with the system is signalled in the 
"dr iving"  menu page.
With the control switch on the 
dashboard

F With the engine running, adjust the 
brightness of the information using 
button
  3:
-
 
t
 owards the rear to increase the 
brightness,
-
 
t
 owards the front to decrease the

Brightness adjustment
We recommend that adjustments are 
only made using these buttons when 
the vehicle is stationary.
When stationary or while driving, no 
objects should be placed around the 
transparent blade (or on its cover) to 
avoid blocking deployment of the blade 
and preventing its correct operation.
In certain extreme weather conditions 
(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 blade, 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 blade or damage the anti-reflection 
coating.
Height adjustment
F With the engine running, adjust the display  to the required height using button 2 :
-
 
t
 owards the rear to move the display up,
-
