Moving off

With the engine running, to move off from
position P
.
For immediate maximum acceleration
without touching the gear lever,
depress the accelerator pedal to the extent
of its travel, passing the point of resistance
(kickdown). The gearbox will automatically
change down or maintain the gear selected
until maximum engine speed is reached.
On a descent, the gearbox will automatically
change down in order to provide efficient
engine braking and good pickup.
If you take your foot off the accelerator
suddenly, the gearbox will not change to a
higher gear for reasons of safety.
When stationary with the gear lever in
position D
(drive), a vibration limiting device
is activated by pressing the brake pedal.
- gradually release the
pressure on the brake pedal;
the vehicle then moves off.


- Press the brake pedal to
come out of position P
,

- select position R
or D
,

- gradually release the
pressure on the brake pedal;
the vehicle then moves off.
You can also move off from position N
.


- With your foot on
the brake, release
the parking brake,

- select position R
, D
or M
,



- Select position D
. The gearbox always selects the most
suitable gear taking account of the following:


- the style of driving,

- the road profile,

- the vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in auto-
adaptive mode, without any action on your
part.

Reverse gear



- Select position R
, with the
vehicle stationary and the
engine at idle.



Stopping the vehicle, starting the
engine


- Select position P
to
immobilise the vehicle
or
to start the engine
, with the
parking brake on or off.

If the battery is flat and the gear lever
is in position P
, it will be impossible to
change to another position.


- You can also select position N

to park
or to start the
engine
, with the parking
brake on.
If position N
is engaged inadvertently
while driving, allow the engine to return
to idle before engaging position D
to restore
drive.

Manual mode

Manual sequential gear changing.


- Select gear lever position M
,

- push the gear lever towards the + sign
to change up, from 1 through to 6,

- conversely, push the gear lever towards
the - sign to change down.

You can change from position D
(automatic mode) to position M
(manual mode) at any time.
In manual mode, it is only possible to
change from one gear to another if the
vehicle speed and engine speed permit.
If they do not, the vehicle will operate
temporarily in automatic mode.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox automatically
selects first gear.


Good practice

Never select position N
when the vehicle is
moving.
Never select positions P
or R
unless the
vehicle is stationary.
Never change between positions to optimise
braking on a slippery surface.
There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:


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

- if you force the gear lever from
position P
to another position in the
event of a battery failure.
When the engine is at idle, brakes not
applied, if position R
, D
or M
is selected the
vehicle moves even without the accelerator
being pressed.
For this reason, do not leave children
unsupervised inside the vehicle, with the
engine running
.


Operating fault

Any operating fault is indicated by an
audible signal, accompanied by the
message "Automatic gear fault"
in the
screen.
In this situation the gearbox operates in
downgrade mode (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), keeping
within the limit of local speed restrictions.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.

Rear suspension


Metal suspension

This equipment adopts long movement
limiters which make it possible to guarantee
stable behaviour both when loaded and
when empty. No action on your part is
required except to ensure that maintenance
is carried out and that the authorised loads
are complied with. irrespective of the weight of the load, within
the limit of the authorised values. On board,
the increasing or lightening of the load on
the vehicle's platform is detected by two
height sensors. When all of the doors are
closed, the sensors trigger the automatic
height correction and determine the optimum
height of the sill for the vehicle's driving
conditions.

Deactivation of automatic height correction
The control which permits deactivation of
automatic regulation is located on the right-
hand side, at the rear of the vehicle.
REAR SUSPENSION

You must deactivate automatic height
correction manually in the following
situations:


- when working underneath the vehicle,

- when changing a wheel,

- when the vehicle is being transported by
lorry, train, ferry, boat, ...
Two types of suspension are available.


Rear suspension with pneumatic
height correction
If fitted on your vehicle, this type of
suspension regulates the variations in the
height of the rear platform of your vehicle

2.
Manual height
correction




1 - Automatic correction of the
height of the rear sill
The pneumatic suspension automatically
regulates the variations in the height of the
rear platform of your vehicle.
A red warning light on your
instrument panel fl ashes if the
height is not at its optimum level
and requires correction, drive slowly
until this warning lamp goes off.
The automatic height correction is
temporarily inactive:


- if a door/the tailgate is open,

- when braking or when stopped at a red
traffic signal (brake pedal pressed). With the vehicle stationary:


- press and hold,

- release the control.

Return to automatic correction
With the vehicle stationary:


- press and hold,

- release the control.
According to the configurations, a bleep may
be heard during these operations.

Two functions
Return to automatic height correction is
confirmed by the LED which goes off. Deactivation is confirmed by the LED which
is on. It remains on for approximately
30 seconds.

Rear suspension

Deactivation of manual height correction


Good practice

When stationary and with the ignition key
removed, excessive use of the system
consumes battery power.
Long term parking
Avoid parking for a long duration on ground
which could present a potential obstacle as
your vehicle could lower.
Following a long period out of use, the
height of the platform may change due to the
automatic height correction on unlocking or
on opening one of your vehicle's doors. With the vehicle stationary:


- press and hold,

- release the control.

Return to manual height correction
According to the configuration, a beep may
be heard during these operations.
You must deactivate the manual height
correction in the following situations:


- when working underneath the vehicle,

- when changing a wheel,

- when the vehicle is being transported by
lorry, train, ferry, boat, ...


Warning lamp Driving with the height of the rear platform:


- too low, risks damaging the technical
components underneath the vehicle,

- too high, risks unstable driving.
With the vehicle stationary:


- press and hold,

- release the control. Refer to the "Instruments and controls"
section of chapter 2.
If you start and the warning lamp flashes, to
switch it off:


- correct the position of the manual
control which is still at the lower or
upper limit,

- or drive slowly at above 6 mph
(10 km/h), until height correction returns
to automatic mode. Return to manual correction is confirmed by
the LED which goes off. Deactivation is confirmed by the LED which
is on. It remains on for approximately
30 seconds.

PARKING BRAKE
When parking on a slope, direct your wheels towards
the pavement and pull the parking brake lever up.

There is no advantage in engaging a gear after
parking the vehicle, particularly if the vehicle is
loaded.

HAZARD WARNING LAMPS

Press this button, the direction indicators
flash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
The hazard warning lamps should only be
used in dangerous situations, when stopping
in an emergency or when driving in unusual
conditions.
DRIVING SAFELY


Applying

Pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise
your vehicle.
Check that the parking brake is applied
firmly before leaving the vehicle.
If the parking brake is still on or has
not been released properly, this is
indicated by this warning lamp which
comes on on the instrument panel.

Releasing

Pull the lever and press the button to lower

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM(ABS - EBFD)

The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force
distribution) systems improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.
The ABS prevents locking of the wheels,
the EBFD provides control of the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.

Good practice

The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock. It does not reduce the braking
distance.
On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil, etc...)
the ABS may increase the braking distance.
When braking in an emergency, do not
hesitate to press the brake pedal firmly,
without releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able to
continue to manoeuvre the vehicle to avoid
an obstacle.
Normal operation of the ABS may be felt by
slight vibration of the brake pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are recommended by
CITROËN. If this warning light comes on,
together with the brake and STOP
warning lights, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message
on the display, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution which
could result in a loss of control of the vehicle
on braking.

Stop immediately.
In both cases, contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA)

In an emergency, this system enables the
optimum braking pressure to be reached
more quickly, press the pedal firmly without
releasing it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is activated.
This alters the resistance of the brake pedal
under your foot. If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the display,
it indicates a malfunction of the
ABS which could result in a loss of control of
the vehicle on braking. To prolong the operation of the emergency
braking assistance system: keep your foot
on the brake pedal.

ESP

Driving safely

SAFETY
4

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR) AND DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL(ESP)

These systems are linked and complement
the ABS.
The ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and avoiding
losses of control of the vehicle on
acceleration.
The system optimises drive to prevent the
wheels skidding, by acting on the brakes of
the drive wheels and on the engine. It also
allows the directional stability of the vehicle
to be improved on acceleration. acts on the engine and the brake of one
or more wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course.

Deactivating the ASR/ESP systems

In certain exceptional conditions (starting
the vehicle when stuck in mud or snow, or
on loose ground...), it could prove useful
to deactivate the ASR and ESP systems to
make the wheels spin and regain grip.


- Press the button, located on the centre
console.

- The indicator lamp comes on: the ASR
and ESP systems no longer act.
Operating check

Good practice

The ASR/ESP systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but should not
encourage the driver to take risks or to drive
at high speed.
The operation of these systems is assured
only if the recommendations of the
manufacturer regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components, the
electronic components and fitting and repair
procedures are observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Use the ESP to hold your course without
attempting to countersteer.
If there is a variation between the trajectory
followed by the vehicle and that required
by the driver, the ESP system automatically

Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems
The LED flashes when the ASR or
ESP is triggered.

They engage again:


- automatically above 30 mph (50 km/h),

- manually by pressing the button again.
When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in
the screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The warning lamp may also come on if the
tyres are under-inflated. Check the pressure
of each tyre.

Airbags



Good practice

Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object...). This could hinder the operation of
the airbags or injure the occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
All work on the airbag system is strictly
forbidden unless it is carried out by qualified
personnel at a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns
to the head, chest or arms when an airbag
is deployed cannot be ruled out. In fact, the
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose.
Lateral airbags
Only put recommended covers on the seats.
These will not hinder inflation of the lateral
airbags. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs. This could cause injury to the chest
or arms when the lateral airbag inflates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.

Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on the
centre part of the wheel.
Do not allow passengers to place their feet
on the dashboard, they risk serious injury if
the airbag is deployed.
Smoke as little as possible as deployment
of the airbags can cause burns or the risk of
injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel
or hit it violently.
