If you release the accelerator sharply, the
gearbox will not shift to a higher gear for safety
reasons.
Never select position N while the vehicle
is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless the
vehicle is completely stationary.
"Sport" programme
This special programme supplements automatic
operation in specic conditions of use.
"Sport"
► Press this button once the engine has
started.
"S"appears on the instrument panel.
The gearbox automatically favours a dynamic
driving style.
Return to automatic operation
► At any time, press the selected button again
to exit the activated programme and return to
auto-adaptive mode.
Manual operation
To limit fuel consumption during an
extended standstill with the engine
running (for example, in a tra󰀩c jam), set the
gear selector to N and apply the parking
brake.
► Selecting position M enables sequential
shifting between the six gears.
► To shift up/down through the gears, push the
control backwards/forwards.
The gearbox only changes gear if the vehicle
speed and engine speed conditions allow;
otherwise, the rules for automatic operation are
temporarily applied.
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 ashes for a few seconds, then the
gear actually engaged is shown.
It is possible to change from position D to
position M at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1
automatically.
The Sport programme is inactive in manual
operation.
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not
engaged correctly (gear selector between
two positions).
Switching o󰀨 the vehicle
Before switching o󰀨 the engine, it is possible to
engage position P or N to place the gearbox in
neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle, unless it is set to
automatic mode.
If the gear selector is not in position P,
when the driver's door is opened or
approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is
switched o󰀨, an audible signal sounds and a
message appears.
► Return the gear selector to P; the audible
signal stops and the message disappears.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp comes on and a message is
displayed, when the ignition is switched on.
In this case, the gearbox goes into back-up
mode and is locked in 3
rd
gear. You may feel a
signicant jolt (without risk to the gearbox) when
changing from P to R and from N to R.
Do not exceed 62 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualied workshop.
There is a risk of damaging the gearbox:
– If the accelerator and brake pedals are
depressed simultaneously.
– In the event of a battery failure, forcing the
selector from position P to another position.
Automatic gearbox
Never try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.
