Driving
If you press the accelerator pedal
beyond the point of resistance, the
gearbox selects the gear below to
permit sharper acceleration.
You must press the brake pedal while
starting the engine.
Never select neutral N while the vehicle
is moving.
Only engage reverse gear R when the
vehicle is immobilised, with your foot on
the brake pedal.
In all cases, you must apply the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle.
"Auto sequential" mode
In the automated mode, you can resume
control temporarily at any time using the
steering mounted control paddles.
The use of these paddles permits manual
selection of the gears in situations which
require a more rapid change-down than in
the automated mode (arrival at a roundabout,
leaving a car park with a steep gradient,
overtaking...).
The gearbox engages the required gear if
the engine speed permits. AUTO remains
displayed in the instrument panel.
After a few minutes, the gearbox resumes
automatic control of the gears.
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can
change to position N to be in neutral.
In this case, you must apply the parking brake
to immobilise the vehicle.
Reinitialisation
Following disconnection of the battery, the
gearbox must be reinitialised.
) Switch on the ignition.
AUTO and - appear in the instrument panel.
) Select position N .
) Press the brake pedal.
) Wait approximately 30 seconds until N or a
gear appears in the instrument panel.
) Release the brake pedal.
The gearbox is operational again.
Operating fault
With the ignition on, if this warning
lamp comes on and AUTO flashes,
accompanied by an audible signal and a
message in the multifunction screen, this
indicates a gearbox fault.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
