Driving
Do not exceed 62 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
F Move the selector towards the + sign to
change up a gear.
Stopping the vehicle
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
F Move the selector towards the - sign to
change down a gear.
It is only possible to change from one gear to
another if the vehicle speed and engine speed
permit; otherwise, the gearbox will operate
temporarily in automatic mode.
Before switching off the engine, you can
engage position P or N to place the gearbox in
neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle.
There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
-
if you press the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time,
If the selector is not in position P, when the
driver's door is opened or approximately
45 seconds after the ignition is switched
off, a warning message appears in the
screen.
F Return the selector to position P; the
message disappears.
When driving on flooded roads or when
crossing a ford, proceed at walking pace.
-
if you force the movement of the
selector from position P to another
position when the battery is flat.
D disappears, and the gears engaged appear
in succession on the instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the
selected gear flashes for a few seconds, then
the actual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M (manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox engages first gear
automatically.
To reduce fuel consumption when at
a prolonged standstill with the engine
running (traffic jam, etc.), put the
selector in position N and apply the
parking brake.
The sport programme is inactive in manual
operation.

If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,
never try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.
Malfunction
When the ignition is on, the lighting
of this warning lamp, associated
with an audible signal and an alert
message on the screen, indicates a
gearbox fault.
Invalid value during manual
operation
Electronic gearbox
(ETG6)
Six-speed electronic gearbox offering
automatic gear control, without driver
intervention.
You can temporarily take control of gear
changes at any time, using the steering
mounted control paddles.
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel a
substantial jolt when changing from P to R and
from N to R. This will not cause any damage to
the gearbox.
