To change gear easily, always depress the
clutch pedal fully.
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 wear
the internal components of the gearbox over
time.

everse gear
Raise the collar under the gear knob to
engage reverse gear. Never engage reverse gear before 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; an
audible signal is heard.
Refer to the "Technology on board -
Parking sensors" section.
GEAr EFFIcIEncY I nd I c AtO r
Depending on the engine or version, this
system allows fuel consumption to be
reduced by suggesting when to change up.
The gear engagement recommendations
should not be considered to be compulsory.
This because the configuration of the
road, the traffic density 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.
The system never recommends engaging
first gear or reverse, or changing down.

In low temperatures
In mountainous and/or cold areas, it is
advisable to use a "winter" type fuel suited
to low or minus temperatures.
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the
key or the remote control, which would
weigh down on its blade in the ignition
switch and could cause a malfunction.
It could adversely affect the deployment of
the front airbag. With the engine hot, the warning lamp
comes on for a few moments, you can start
the engine without waiting.
As soon as the engine is running, release
the key.

HILL StA rt ASSIS t
This system (also called HHC - Hill Holder
Control), linked to the dynamic stability
control system, makes hill starts easier and
is activated in the following conditions:
-

the vehicle must be stationary
, engine
running, foot on the brake,
-

the gradient of the road must be steeper

than 5%,
-

uphill, the gearbox must be in neutral or

in a gear other than reverse,
-

downhill, reverse gear must be engaged.
The Hill Start

Assist system is a driving
aid. It is not an automatic vehicle parking
function or an automatic parking brake.Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal
pressed, from the time you release the brake
pedal, without using the parking brake, you
have approximately 2 seconds to move off
before the vehicle starts to roll back.
During the moving off phase, the function
is deactivated automatically, gradually
releasing the braking pressure. During
this phase, the characteristic noise of
mechanical release of the brakes may be
heard, indicating the imminent movement of
the vehicle.
Operating fault
If a malfunction of the system
occurs, this warning lamp comes
on accompanied by an audible
signal and confirmed by a message
in the screen. Have the system checked by at
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. Hill start assist is deactivated in the following
situations:
-

when the clutch pedal is released,
-


when the parking brake is applied,
-


when the engine is switched of
f,
-

when the engine stalls.

Starting and switching off

40The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - ST OP mode -
during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic
jams, or other...). The engine restarts
automatically - START mode - as soon as
you want to move off. The restart takes
place instantly, quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions and offers the comfort of
complete silence when stationary.
