Gearboxes and steering wheel



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.
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. You can change from position D
(automatic mode) to position M
(manual mode) at any time.

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.

STARTING AND STOPPING


Key

Take care to prevent the key from coming
into contact with grease, dust, rain or a
damp environment.
A heavy object attached to the key (key
ring, ...) weighing the key down in the
ignition switch may cause a malfunction.
Starting position.
The starter is operated, the engine turns
over, release the key.

STOP position:
steering lock.
The ignition is off. Turn the steering wheel
until the steering locks. Remove the key.

Good practice when starting

If this comes on, a door or the
bonnet is not closed correctly,
check!

Diesel pre-heating warning lamp
If the temperature is high enough,
the warning lamp comes on for
less than one second, you can
start without waiting.
In cold weather, wait for this warning lamp
to go off then operate the starter (Starting
position) until the engine starts.



Good practice when stopping


Minimise engine and gearbox wear
When switching off the ignition, let the
engine run for a few seconds to allow the
turbocharger (Diesel engine) to return to
idle.
Do not press the accelerator when switching
off the ignition.
There is no need to engage a gear after
parking the vehicle.

Running and accessories position.
To unlock the steering, turn the steering
wheel gently while turning the key, without
forcing. In this position, certain accessories
can be used.
Door or bonnet open warning lamp
STEERING WHEEL HEIGHT AND
REACH ADJUSTMENT

is sold, the vehicle may be equipped with
daytime running lamps. The dipped headlamps
come on when the vehicle is started.
The instruments and controls
(instrument panel, screen, air
conditioning control panel, ...) are only
illuminated on switching to the automatic
illumination of headlamps mode or when the
lamps are switched on manually.

- Driver + maximum authorised loads. Do not cover the sunshine sensor
located on the windscreen, behind
the mirror. It is used for the automatic
illumination of headlamps and for the
automatic rain sensitive wipers. The sidelamps and dipped
beam headlamps switch
on automatically if the light
is poor, or during operation
of the windscreen wipers. They switch off as
soon as the light becomes bright enough or
the windscreen wipers stop.
This function is not compatible with the
daytime running lamps.
Deactivation
Turn the ring forwards or rearwards. The
deactivation of this function is accompanied
by a message in the screen.
The function is deactivated temporarily when
you use the manual lighting control stalk.

Initial setting is position 0. In foggy weather or in snow, the
sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light. As a consequence, the lighting will not
come on automatically. If necessary, you
must switch on the dipped beam headlamps
manually.

positions, refer to the manual windscreen
wipers section.
In the I
ntermittent position, the wiping speed
is in proportion to the vehicle speed.

Wash-wipe and headlamp wash
Pull the stalk towards you, the wash-wipe
is accompanied by a timed sweep of the
wipers.
The headlamp wash is linked with the wash-wipe,
it is triggered if the dipped headlamps are on.
To top up the levels, refer to the
"Levels" section of chapter 6.
Automatic rain sensitive windscreen wipers

Whenever the ignition has been switched

Special position of the windscreen
wipers
In the minute following switching off of the
ignition, any action on the stalk positions the
wipers against the windscreen uprights. This action enables you to position the
wiper blades for winter parking, cleaning or
replacement.
Refer to the "Changing a windscreen
wiper blade" section of chapter 7.
To park the wipers in their normal position
after this has been done, switch on the
ignition and move the stalk. When using an automatic car wash,
switch off the ignition to avoid
triggering the automatic wiping.
In winter, it is advisable to wait for the
windscreen to completely clear of ice before
operating automatic wipe.


Rear wiper

Turn the ring to the first position.


Rear screenwash

Turn the ring past the first
position: the rear screenwash
then the rear wiper operates for a
fixed time.
In winter, in the event of a considerable
amount of snow or ice, switch on the
heated rear screen. Once the screen is
clear, remove the snow or ice which has
accumulated on the rear wiper blade. You
can then operate the rear windscreen wiper.
Activation

Press the control downwards. Activation of the
function is accompanied by a message in the screen.
The automatic rain sensitive windscreen wipers
function must be reactivated by pressing the stalk
downwards, if the ignition has been switched off for
more than one minute.

Deactivation / Switching off
Place the windscreen wipers stalk in
position I
, 1
or 2
. Deactivation of the function
is accompanied by a message in the screen.
In the event of malfunction of the automatic
windscreen wipers, the windscreen wipers
will operate in intermittent mode.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
