When the ignition is on, a message
appears in the instrument panel
screen to indicate a gearbox fault.
Operating fault
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel
a substantial knock when changing from P
to R and from N to R. This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
You risk damaging the gearbox:
-
if you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time
(braking or acceleration must be
done only with the right foot),
-
if you force the selector from
position P to another position when
the battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffic jam...), position
the selector at N and apply the parking
brake.
Stopping the vehicle
A stiff point may be noticed when
moving to position P.
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, there is an
audible signal and a message appears.
F
Return the selector to position P;
the audible signal stops and the
message disappears.
Before switching off the engine, select
position
P then apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle.
In all circumstances, ensure that the
selector is in position P before leaving
your vehicle.
On a steep slope with a loaded
vehicle, press the brake pedal, select
position P, apply the parking brake then
release the brake pedal.
