on a slope
Do not use the accelerator pedal to im-
mobilise the vehicle on a slope, apply
the parking brake instead.
When starting on a slope, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking
brake.
Switchin
g
to sequential mode
Once you have moved off, you can
switch to sequential mode by selecting
position +/- .
"D" disappears and the gears engaged
appear in succession in the instrument
panel screen.
The gear change requests are only carried
out if the engine speed permits it.
Take your foot off the accelerator pedal
gently to engage the gear.
Switchin
g
to automated mode
Automated mode
After using the sequential mode, you
can return to the automated mode by
selecting position D .
"D" appears 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 gear most
suited to the conditions of:
- driving style,
- road characteristics,
- vehicle load.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain
the most suitable gear, avoid sharp
variations in the pressure on the accel-
erator pedal.
Auto sequential mode
In the automated mode, you can take
over control temporarily at any time using
the steering mounted controls.
The use of these controls permits manual
selection of the gears in situations which
require a faster changedown than that
offered in automated mode (arrival at a
roundabout, exit from a car park with a
steep gradient, overtaking...).
Stoppin
g
the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can:
- move to position N to leave the
gearbox in neutral.
- leave a gear engaged, such as fi rst
or reverse.
In both cases, you must apply the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle.
Operatin
g
anomal
y
With the ignition on, if the message "Slow
down" or "Maintenance required" ap-
pears in the multifunction screen, this indi-
cates a gearbox malfunction.
When a message is displayed, carry
out the following operations:
- slow down and stop your vehicle in
a safe place,
- place the lever in position N and let
the engine run,
- open the bonnet to allow the engine
to cool.
If the message disappears for a long
period, you can set off again.
If the message remains displayed or
appears frequently, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop without
delay.
Press the brake pedal fi rmly
while starting the engine.
Start the engine. "N" appears in the in-
strument panel screen.
Select fi rst gear (position D or +/- ) or reverse
(position R ).
Release the parking brake.
Release the brake pedal then accelerate.
"D" or "1" or "R" appear in the instrument
panel screen.
The gearbox engages the gear re-
quested if the engine speed permits it.
The gear engaged appears.
To return to the automated mode, press
the back of the "+/OFF" control for ap-
proximately 2 seconds.
At low speeds, when approaching a
stop or traffi c lights for example, the
gearbox changes down to fi rst gear au-
tomatically.
