Electronic gearbox
Six-speed electronic gearbox system which
offers a choice between the comfort of fully
automatic operation or the pleasure of manual
gear changing.
There are two driving modes:
- automatic
mode for automatic control of
the gears by the gearbox,
- manual
mode for sequential gear changing
by the driver.
For each of these two modes, there is a
a Sport
setting, corresponding to a more
dynamic driving style.
In automatic mode, it remains possible to
change gear manually by using the steering
mounted control paddles when required, when
overtaking, for example.
R.
Reverse
With your foot on the brake, lift the lever
and push for wards.
N.
Neutral.
With your foot on the brake, select this
position to start.
A.
Automatic mode.
Move the lever backwards to select this
mode.
M.
Manual mode with sequential gear
changing.
Lift the lever then move it backwards to
select this mode, then use the steering
mounted control paddles to change gear.
S.
Sport setting.
Press the button to switch it on or off.
Gear lever
+.
Change up paddle to the right of the steering
wheel.
Press the back of the "+"
steering mounted
paddle to change up a gear.
-.
Change down paddle to the left of the
steering wheel.
Press the back of the "-"
steering mounted
paddle to change down a gear.
Steering mounted control paddles
The steering mounted paddles cannot
be used to select neutral or to engage
or disengage reverse gear.
Page 124 of 400

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.

Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
- with a manual gearbox
, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h) or vehicle stationary with
the Blue HDi 120 version, when you place
the gear lever in neutral, and you release
the clutch pedal,
- with 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
,
- with 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...
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:
- the vehicle is on a steep slop (rising or
falling),
- 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 using
the START/STOP button,
- the electric parking brake is applied or
being applied,
- the engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
- demisting is active,
- some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.
In this case, the "ECO"
warning lamp
flashes for a few seconds then goes
off. 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.
This operation is per fectly normal.
