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.

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

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.

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

The indicator lamp in the button
goes off.
Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of
grip permits.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
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
them manually:
