35under-inflation alert
The alert is given by the fixed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
and depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
In the event of a problem on one of the
tyres, the symbol or the message appears,
according to equipment, to identify it.
-

Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering

movements or harsh brake applications.
-

Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
-


In the event of a puncture, use the

temporary puncture repair kit or the
spare wheel (according to equipment).
-

In the event of under-inflation:
●


if you have a compressor
, the one
in the temporary puncture repair
kit for example, check the four tyre
pressures when cold,


or
●

if it is not possible to check the

tyre pressures at the time, drive
carefully at reduced speed and go
to the nearest CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. The loss of pressure detected does
not always lead to visible deformation
of the tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
The alert is maintained until the tyre or


tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by the illumination
of the service warning lamp, and
depending on equipment, the display of a
message indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures
is not assured.
This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels is not fitted with a sensor.
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop

to have the system checked or,
following the repair of a puncture, to have
the original wheel, equipped with a sensor,
refitted.

Instruments and controls

38
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.
MAnuAL GEA r BO x
r

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 IndIcAtO 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.
Gearbox and steering wheel

Gearbox and steering wheel
StEErInG WHEEL A dju S t ME nt
With the vehicle stationary, first adjust your
seat to the most suitable position.
Release the steering wheel adjustment
mechanism by pulling the lever towards you.
Adjust the reach of the steering wheel, then
lock the mechanism by pushing the lever
fully forwards.
Operation
The information appears in the
instrument panel screen in the
form of the SHIF
t indicator,
accompanied by an upward arrow
to signal to the driver that they can change up.
The system adapts its gear change
recommendations according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, ...) and demands
from the driver (for power, acceleration,
braking,

...).
Switching off
This system cannot be deactivated by the
driver.
As a safety measure, these operations
must not be carried out while driving.

A
rt invoked automatically
The START mode may be invoked
automatically in the following circumstances:
-
the vehicle is free wheeling on a

gradient,
-
the windscreen wiper is on fast wipe,
-

the air conditioning is running,
-

the engine has been stopped for around

3 minutes with Stop & Start,
-
some special conditions (battery charge,

engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the
engine is needed to assure control of
a system.
In this case, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by this indicator
lamp, which flashes for a few
seconds, then goes off.
Good practice
With a manual gearbox in STOP mode, if a

clutch pedal, restarting may not take place.
An indicator lamp and/or message is
displayed in the instrument panel asking
you to fully depress the clutch pedal to allow
restarting.
t

his operation is perfectly normal. With the engine stopped in STOP
mode, if the driver unfasten's
their seat belt and opens a front
door, the engine can only be
restarted using the ignition key. There is
an audible signal, accompanied by flashing
of this indicator lamp and the display of a
message.

Starting and switching off

46drIVInG rEcOMMEndAtIO n S
Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep
your hands on the wheel so that you are
ready to react at any time to any eventuality.
On a long journey, a break every two hours
is strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance
from other vehicles.
driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on
flooded roads, as this could cause serious
damage to the engine or gearbox, as well as
to the electrical systems of your vehicle. If you are obliged to drive through water:
-

check that the depth of water does not

exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves
that might be generated by other users,
-
deactivate the Stop & Start system,
-

drive as slowly as possible without

stalling. In all cases, do not exceed
6 mph (10 km/h),
-

do not stop and do not switch of
f the
engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light
brake applications to dry the brake discs
and
pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied -
Risk of overheating and damage to the
braking system!
Do not park or run the engine when
stationary in areas where inflammable
substances and materials (dry grass, dead
leaves...) might come into contact with the
hot exhaust system - Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised with
the engine running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running, apply
the parking brake and put the gearbox into
neutral.
