WARNING LAMPS

Each time the engine is started: a series of warning lamps comes on applying a self-checking test. They go off almost immediately. When
the engine is running: the warning lamp becomes a warning sign if it remains on continuously or flashes. This initial warning may be
accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen. "Do not ignore these warnings."

READY TO GO




Gearbox and steering wheel




Moving off



You must press the brake pedal.
Start the engine; the gearbox changes into
neutral automatically.
the gear lever stays in the position selected
before switching off the ignition.

"N"
appears in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by an audible signal when you
release the brake pedal, to indicate that there
is a difference between the position of the gear
lever and the gear selected in the gearbox.
Select first gear (move the lever towards +
)
or reverse (position R
).

"1"
or "R"
appears in the instrument panel
screen.
Release the parking brake.
Remove your foot from the brake pedal and
then accelerate away.

The AUTO or manual mode used before
switching off the ignition remains in
memory when the vehicle is restarted.

Stopping - Starting on a slope

This gearbox is an electronic gearbox which
does not have a clutch pedal.

Do not use the accelerator pedal to
immobilise the vehicle on a slope, apply
the parking brake instead; failure to
follow this procedure can overheat the
clutch and damage the gearbox .
When moving off on a slope, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking brake.
It is also possible to move off in
2nd gear on slippery surfaces
(2nd press on le +).

Automated mode

Once you have moved off, you can switch to
automated mode by selecting position A/M
.

"AUTO"
and the gear engaged
appear in the instrument panel
screen.
The gearbox then operates in auto-active
mode, without any action on the part of the
driver.
It continuously selects the most appropriate
gear depending on the:


- vehicle speed,

- engine speed,

- accelerator pedal position.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain the
most suitable gear, avoid sharp variations in
the pressure on the accelerator pedal.
If you fully depress the accelerator pedal,
the gearbox changes down for sharper
acceleration. By rapidly pushing the accelerator fully
done, the vehicle moves off quickly.

Gearbox and steering wheel




Stopping the vehicle

To switch off the engine, with your foot on
the brake pedal, you should:


- select first gear or reverse.

- apply the parking brake to immobilise the
vehicle.

- switch off the ignition.
Temporarily changing gear in AUTO mode
You can also request a gear change using
the gear lever.
This action does not deactivate the
automated mode, but allows temporary
use of the sequential mode functions (for
example: for overtaking another vehicle...).

"AUTO"
remains displayed in the instrument
panel screen.

"ECO" economy programme
This programme works with the automated
mode to reduce fuel consumption.
Press button E
to activate the programme.


Sequential mode

After using the automated mode, you can
return to the sequential mode by selecting
position A
/ M
again.

"E"
appears in the instrument
panel screen, next to "AUTO"
and the gear selected by the
gearbox.
The gearbox then selects the best gear for
the speed of the vehicle, the engine speed
and the accelerator pedal position to reduce
fuel consumption.

"AUTO"
disappears and the
gears engaged appear in
succession in the instrument
panel screen.
t is not necessary to take your foot off the
accelerator pedal to change the gear.
The gear change requests are only carried
out if the engine speed permits it. The
system gives an audible signal if a gear
change is not possible.
At low speeds, when approaching a stop
or traffic lights for example, the gearbox
changes down to first gear automatically.



Release the brake pedal after the display
of the gear engaged has disappeared
from the instrument panel screen.
Never leave the vehicle with the
gearbox in neutral (position N
). In this
case, there is an audible signal on switching
off the ignition (ignition key in the STOP
position).

HILL START ASSIST


An integral part of the ESP system, it
facilitates starting on a gradient by keeping
your vehicle immobilised temporarily
(approximately 2 seconds), the time it takes
to move your foot from the brake pedal to
the accelerator pedal.
This function is only active when:


- the vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,

- the engine is running,

- the gradient is steeper than 5 %,
Operation

On a slope, with engine running and the
vehicle stationary, the vehicle is held
for a brief moment when you release the
brake pedal:


- provided you are in first gear or neutral
with a manual gearbox,

- provided you are in position A
or M
with
an electronic gearbox,



On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary, the engine running and reverse
gear engaged, the vehicle is held for a brief
moment when you release the brake pedal.



After 2 seconds, if the vehicle has not
moved off, the system is deactivated
automatically by gradually reducing the
brake pressure. During this phase, the
characteristic sound of brakes being
released will be heard, indicating the
imminent movement of the vehicle.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is
being held in the hill start assist phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle while the
engine is running, apply the parking brake
manually. Then ensure that the parking
brake warning lamp is on (not flashing) in
the instrument panel.

Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the system,
these warning lamps come on in
the instrument panel. Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked.
In STOP mode of Stop & Start, hill start
assist is inactive.

SAFETY



Driving safely


PARKING BRAKE


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.
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.


Releasing

Pull the lever and press the button to lower
the parking brake lever. HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS
Press this button, the two direction
indicators flash.
They operate with the ignition off.
When the hazard warning lights are switched
on, the change of direction function, via the
right-hand or left-hand direction indicator, is
deactivated.

Towing a trailer



In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a steep
slope in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this case,
automatic cutting off of the air conditioning
allows the engine power to be saved.
If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 7.

Tyres:
check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identification
markings" section of chapter 7) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressures.

Brakes:
towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradually.
Side wind:
sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.

ABS:
the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.

Rear parking sensors:
the sensors
will be deactivated automatically
when an genuine CITROËN towbar is used
(see the "Rear parking sensors" section of
chapter 3).
Towbar

We recommend the use of original
CITROËN towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and that
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If this equipment is not fitted by a CITROËN
dealer, it is essential that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment located at
the rear of the vehicle and following the
manufacturer's instructions.
The operation of the rear parking sensors is
deactivated automatically when the trailer
cable connector is inserted in the towbar
socket.
When the trailer cable is removed, the rear
parking sensors are re-activated.
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest objects are as close as possible
to the axle and the nose weight is close to
the maximum authorised without, however,
exceeding it. The air density decreases with
altitude, so reducing the performance of
the engine. The maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10 % for each 1 000 metres
of altitude. Refer to the "Technical data"
chapter for details of the weights and
towed loads applicable to your vehicle
and also to the administrative documents
(V5 registration document, ...).
