Gearbox and steering wheel
Stopping - Starting on a gradient
This is an electronic gearbox system without
a clutch pedal.
To immobilise the vehicle on a gradient,
you must use the parking brake and not
the accelerator.
When starting on a gradient, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking brake.
Changing to sequential mode
Once you have started the engine, you
can go into sequential mode by selecting
position M.
Changing to automatic mode
When in sequential mode, you can return to
automatic mode by selecting position A.
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can:
- select position N to engage neutral.
- leave a gear engaged, such as first or
reverse gear.
In either case, you must engage the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle.
Reinitialising
Following a battery disconnection, you must
reinitialise the gearbox:
- switch on the ignition, "AUTO" appears
on the instrument panel display,
- press on the brake pedal,
- wait for about 30 seconds until "N" or
a gear appears on the instrument panel
display,
- release the brake pedal.
The gearbox is now operational again.
Operating anomaly
"AUTO" is displayed and the
gear selected appears on the
instrument panel display.
The gearbox operates in
automatic mode, without the need for driver
intervention.
It always selects the gear best suited to the
following parameters:
- driving style,
- road profile,
- vehicle load.
To maximise driving comfort and obtain the
most suitable gear, avoid making rough
movements on the accelerator pedal.
If you press the accelerator beyond the point
of resistance, the gearbox selects the next
gear down to allow for faster acceleration.
"AUTO" disappears and
the gears selected appear
successively on the instrument
panel display.
Gear change requests are only possible if
the engine speed allows them.
Gently lift your foot from the accelerator
pedal to select the gear.
When driving at low speed (e.g. approaching
a stop sign or at traffic lights), the gearbox
automatically changes down to first gear.
With the ignition switched on, the
fl ashing of "AUTO" and the lighting
of this warning lamp, accompanied
by a sound signal and a message on
the instrument panel display, indicate a gearbox
malfunction.
Have the system checked by your CITROËN dealer.
You must always press the brake pedal down when starting the engine. When the vehicle is moving, never select neutral N.Only select reverse gear R with the vehicle stationary and your foot on the brake pedal.In all cases, you must engage the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.When on a steep gradient, you are advised to use sequential mode.

Parking assistance
AUDIBLE REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
The audible system consists of four
proximity sensors, installed in the rear
bumper.
It detects any obstacle (e.g. person, vehicle,
tree, fence) which enters the field behind the
vehicle during the manoeuvre.
However, it will not be able to detect
obstacles located immediately below the
bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks
cone or any other similar object may be
detected at the beginning of the manoeuvre
but may no longer be detected when the
vehicle moves close to it. Stop the assistance
Change to neutral.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp or the service
warning lamp lights up on the
instrument panel, accompanied
by a message on the display,
contact your CITROËN dealer.
Good practice
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow.
Engage reverse gear
The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more rapid as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
When the distance between the rear of
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately thirty centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous.
This function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed.
You are advised to obtain a towbar
recommended by CITROËN and have it
installed by a professional.
If anomalies are detected on engaging
reverse gear, the warning light comes on,
possibly accompanied by a message on the
display.
