Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised 
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when 
starting on a gradient, the time it takes to 
move your foot from the brake pedal to the 
accelerator pedal.
This system only operates when:
- 
t
 he vehicle is completely stationary, with 
your foot on the brake pedal,
-
 
c
 ertain gradient conditions are met,
-
 
w
 ith the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist system cannot be 
deactivated.
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle 
stationar y, the vehicle is held for a 
momentarily when you release the brake pedal:
- provided you are in first gear or neutral with  a manual gearbox,
-
 
p
 rovided you are in position  d  or M with an 
automatic gearbox.
Operation
On a descending slope, with the vehicle 
stationary and reverse gear engaged, the 
vehicle is held momentarily when you 
release the brake pedal.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being 
held in the hill start assist phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle with the 
engine running, apply the parking brake 
manually then ensure that the parking 
brake warning lamp and the warning 
lamp  P in the lever of the electric 
parking brake control are on fixed (not 
flashing).
Operating fault
If a fault in the system occurs, these warning 
lamps come on. Contact a CITROËN dealer 
or a qualified workshop to have the system 
checked.

Moving off
When the engine is running at idle, 
with 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 .
If the parking brake does not release 
automatically, check that the front doors 
are fully closed.
Never select position  n  while the 
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless the 
vehicle is completely stationary.
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.
If position 
n
 is engaged inadvertently 
while driving, allow the engine to 
return to idle then engage position 
d
 
to
 
accelerate.
If you do not press the brake pedal 
when trying to move the gear selector 
out of position P

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.

Operating fault
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 "S TA R T/
STOP " button.
In the event of a fault with the system, the 
button in the "E
cO O
FF" switch flashes for a 
few moments, then remains on.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop. The Stop & Start system requires a 
12   V battery of specific technology and 
specification.
All work on this type of battery must be 
carried out only by a CITROËN dealer 
or a qualified workshop.
For more information on the 12 V 
battery, refer to the corresponding 
section.

Blind spot sensors
This driving assistance system warns the driver 
of the presence of another vehicle in the blind 
spot angle of their vehicle (areas masked from 
the driver's field of vision), as soon as this 
presents a potential danger.This system is designed to improve safety when driving and is in no circumstances a 
substitute for the use of the interior rear view mirror and door mirrors. It is the driver's 
responsibility to constantly check the traffic, to assess the distances and relative speeds of 
other vehicles and to predict their movements before deciding whether to change lane.
The blind spot sensor system can never replace the need for vigilance on the part of 
the
 d
river.
Operation
A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on 
the side in question:
- 
i
 mmediately, when being overtaken,
-
 
a
 fter a delay of about one second, when 
overtaking a vehicle slowly. F
 
O
 n switching on the ignition, or engine 
running, press this button to activate the 
function; the warning lamp comes on.
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers 
monitor the blind spots.

workshop to have the system checked.
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle 
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft 
ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate 
the DSC and ASR, so that the wheels can turn 
freely and regain grip.
The systems are reactivated automatically each 
time the ignition is switched back on or from 
30  mph (50 km/h).
Below 30 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate
