Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place
the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot,
as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in
preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and
refi t your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations on
maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when
cold, referring to the label in the door
aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
- before a long journey,
- at each change of season,
- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine
oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and observe the
schedule of operations recommended by the
manufacturer.
When refuelling, do not continue after the 3 rd
cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any overfl ow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the fi rst 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a consistent average.

Gearbox and steering wheel
Good practice
To change gear smoothly, always press the
clutch pedal fully down.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught under the pedal:
- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,
- never fit one mat on top of another.
Avoid leaving your hand on the gear knob as
the force exerted, even if slight, may cause
wear of the internal components of the
gearbox over time.
MANUAL GEARBOX
Reverse gear
Never engage reverse gear until the vehicle
is completely stationary.
The lever should be moved slowly to reduce
the noise on engaging reverse gear.
If your vehicle is fitted with parking
sensors, the system comes into
operation when reverse gear is engaged,
confirmed by an audible signal.
Refer to the "Rear parking sensors"
section of chapter 3.
STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
When the vehicle is stationary, unlock the
steering wheel by pushing the lever down.
Adjust the depth and height of the steering
wheel, then lock by pulling the lever up fully.

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR *
System which reduces fuel consumption
by advising the driver to change gear on
vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox.
Operation
The system intervenes only when driving
economically.
The gear change recommendations must
not be considered compulsory, as the
configuration of the road, the amount of
traffic and safety remain determining factors
when choosing the best gear. Therefore,
the driver remains responsible for deciding
whether or not to follow the advice given by
the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
Example:
- You are in third gear.
- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
- The system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear, if appropriate.
The information appears in the form of the
indicator SHIFT
in the instrument panel
screen, accompanied by an up arrow for
changing up or a down arrow for changing
down.
In the case of driving which
makes particular demands on the
performance of the engine (firm pressure
on the accelerator pedal, for example,
when overtaking...), the system will not
recommend a gear change.

ELECTRONIC GEARBOX
The five-speed electronic gearbox offers a
choice between the comfort of automated
operation or the pleasure of manual gear
changing.
This gearbox provides two driving modes:
- an automated mode for automatic control
of the gears by the gearbox and therefore
without any action on the part of the driver,
- a sequential mode for manual changing
of the gears by the driver using the gear
lever.
It consists of:
1.
a gear lever 1
on the centre console
for selecting the driving mode, reverse
gear and neutral or for changing gear in
sequential mode,
2.
a button 2
to activate or deactivate the
economy programme.
Gear lever gate
All movements of the gear lever are given
from the middle position.
N
: neutral.
With your foot on the brake, select this
position to start, by moving the gear lever to
the right and then forwards
R
: reverse gear.
With the vehicle stationary, keep your foot
on the brake pedal and move the gear lever
to the right and then backwards.
M
+/-: sequential mode with manual gear
changing.
Make a long push to the left on the lever to
select this mode, then:
- push towards +

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.

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).

while the vehicle
is moving.
Only engage reverse gear R
with the vehicle
immobilised and the brake pedal pressed.
You risk damaging the gearbox if you
press the accelerator and brake pedals
simultaneously.
Back-up mode - Slow move off
This procedure should be applied if pressing
the brake pedal is not recognised by the
system, or if the gearbox has fault on
starting the engine.
Press the brake pedal firmly.
Turn the ignition key to the AV V
position for
at least seven seconds.
The engine starts.
The system is in back-up mode; the gearbox
will not go beyond the 3rd gear engaged and
automated mode is not available.
If the engine does not start, have the
system checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Operating fault
In the event of a prolonged stop with the
engine running, it is recommended that
the gearbox be put into neutral (position N
).
With the vehicle stationary, the engine
running and first, second or reverse
gear engaged, the gearbox changes
to neutral automatically, accompanied
by an audible signal, in the following
circumstances:
- no action on the accelerator or brake
pedals for at least 3 minutes,
- brake pedal applied for more than
10 minutes,
- driver's door opened and no action on the
accelerator or brake pedals for at least
1.5 seconds,
- a gearbox fault.
When towing your vehicle, ensure that
the gearbox is in neutral (position N
).

Emergency braking assistance *
System which, in an emergency, enables
you to reach the optimum braking pressure
more quickly, thus reducing the stopping
distance. The emergency braking assistance
is an integral part of the ESP system.
Activation
It is brought into play by the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency.
When braking in an emergency, press firmly
without releasing the pressure.
Good practice
This system cannot be deactivated by the
driver.

Depending on country of sale.
TRAJECTORY CONTROL SYSTEMS
Electronic stability programme (ESP)
The electronic stability programme acts on
the brake of one or more wheels and on the
engine to keep the vehicle on the trajectory
required by the driver, within the limits of the
laws of physics.
Activation
The ESP system is activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started and cannot
be deactivated.
It comes into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem.
Illumination of this warning lamp
and the warning lamp in the
"ASR OFF"
button, accompanied
by a message in the instrument
panel screen, indicates a fault with the ESP
system, which is deactivated automatically.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and engine
control (MSR)
Anti-slip regulation (also known as traction
control) optimises traction, avoiding wheel
spin by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and the engine.
Engine control is an integral part of the ASR
system and intervenes when a sudden gear
change is made or of one of the driving
wheels looses grip, by reducing engine torque
to avoid loss of stability of the vehicle.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
In the event of a problem od adhesion or
trajectory, these systems come into play.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow,
on soft ground...), it may be advisable to
deactivate the ASR system, so that the
wheels can spin freely and regain grip.
)
Press the "ASR OFF"
button, located in
the middle of the dashboard.
If the button's warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by a message in the
instrument panel screen, this indicates that
the ASR system is deactivated. This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument
panel.
