SAFETY
Deactivation
Only the passenger's front airbag can
be deactivated:
with the ignition off
, insert the key
in the passenger airbag deactivation
switch 1
,
turn it to the "OFF" position,
then, remove the key keeping the
switch in the new position.
This warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel when
the ignition is on and until the
airbag is re-activated.
To assure the safety of your child,
the passenger's front airbag
must be deactivated when you
install a "rear facing" child seat
on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed if
the airbag were deployed.
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn
switch 1 to the "ON" position to re-acti-
vate the airbag and so assure the safety
of your front passenger in the event of
an impact.
With the ignition on, this warn-
ing lamp comes on in the instru-
ment panel for approximately
one minute, if the passenger's
front airbag is activated.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel, accom-
panied by an audible warning
and a message in the multifunc-
tion screen, contact a CITROËN dealer
or qualifi ed workshop to have the system
checked. The airbags may no longer be
deployed in the event of a serious impact.
If this warning lamp fl ashes,
contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop. The pas-
senger's front airbag may no
longer be deployed in the event
of a serious impact.
If at least one of the two airbag
warning lamps come on continu-
ously, do not install a child seat
on the front passenger seat.
Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
8
SAFETY
For the airbags to be fully
effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child,
pet, object...). This could hamper the
operation of the airbags or injure the
occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
Even if all of the precautions men-
tioned are observed, a risk of injury
or of minor burns to the head, chest
or arms when an airbag is deployed
cannot be ruled out. The bag infl ates
almost instantly (within a few millisec-
onds) then defl ates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via open-
ings provided for this purpose.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on
the centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the dashboard.
If possible, do not smoke as deployment of the airbags can cause burns or
the risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats, compatible with the deployment the
lateral airbags. For information on the range of seat covers suitable for your
vehicle, you can contact a CITROËN dealer (see "Practical information - §
Accessories").
Do not fi x or attach anything to the seat backs (clothing...). This could cause
injury to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than neces-
sary.
Curtain airbags
Do not fi x or attach anything to the roof. This could cause injury to the head if
the curtain airbag is deployed.
Do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof, they play a part in se-
curing the curtain airbags.

SAFETY
Lateral airbags
System which protects the driver and
front passenger in the event of a seri-
ous side impact in order to limit the risk
of injury to the chest, between the hip
and the shoulder.
Each lateral airbag is fi tted in the seat
backrest frame, door side.
Deployment
The lateral airbags are deployed uni-
laterally in the event of a serious side
impact applied to all or part of the side
impact zone B , perpendicular to the
longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on
a horizontal plane and directed from
the outside towards the inside of the
vehicle.
The lateral airbag infl ates between the
hip and shoulder of the front occupant
of the vehicle and the corresponding
door trim panel.
Impact detection zones
A.
Front impact zone.
B.
Side impact zone.
Curtain airbags
System which protects the driver and
passengers (with the exception of the
rear centre passenger) in the event of a
serious side impact in order to limit the
risk of injury to the side of the head.
Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars
and the upper passenger compartment
area.
Deployment
The curtain airbag is deployed at the
same time as the corresponding later-
al airbag in the event of a serious side
impact applied to all or part of the side
impact zone B , perpendicular to the lon-
gitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the
outside towards the inside of the ve-
hicle.
The curtain airbag infl ates between the
front or rear occupant of the vehicle and
the windows.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel, accom-
panied by an audible signal and
a message in the screen, con-
tact a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop to have the system checked.
The airbags may no longer be deployed
in the event of a serious impact.
In the event of a minor impact or
bump on the side of the vehicle
or if the vehicle rolls over, the
airbag may not be deployed.
In the event of a rear or front
collision, the airbag is not de-
ployed.

ment, apply the parking brake
and engage a gear.
Applying
Pull the parking brake lever fully up
to immobilise your vehicle.
Releasing
Pull the parking brake lever gently,
press the release button then lower
the lever fully.
When the vehicle is being driv-
en, if this warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the multifunction
screen, this indicates that the parking
brake is still on or has not been properly
released.
6-SPEED MANUAL GEARBOX
Engaging reverse gear
Raise the ring under the knob and
push the gear lever to the left then
forwards.
As a safety precaution and to fa-
cilitate starting of the engine:
-

DRIVING
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR *
System which reduces fuel consumption
by advising the driver to change up on
vehicles fi tted with a manual gearbox.
Operation
The system intervenes only when driv-
ing economically.
Depending on the driving situation and
your vehicle's equipment, the system
may advise you to skip one or more
gears. You can follow this instruc-
tion without engaging the intermediate
gears.
The gear recommended should not
be considered compulsory. In fact, the
confi guration of the road, the amount
of traffi c and safety remain determining
factors when choosing the best gear.
Therefore, the driver remains responsi-
ble for deciding whether or not to follow
the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
In the case of driving which
makes particular demands on
the performance of the engine
(fi rm pressure on the accelerator
pedal, for example, when over-
taking...), the system will not rec-
ommend a gear change.
The system never suggests:
- engaging fi rst gear,
-
engaging reverse gear,
-
engaging a lower gear.
-
You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
Example:
-
You are in third gear.
-
The system may suggest that you
engage a higher gear, if appropriate.
* According to engine.
The information appears in the form
of an arrow in the instrument panel
screen.
Depending on your vehicle's equipment,
this arrow may be accompanied by the
recommended gear.

DRIVING
SENSODRIVE GEARBOX
Five-speed
electronically
controlled
gearbox which offers a choice between
the comfort of automatic operation or
the pleasure of manual gear changing.
Three driving modes are offered:
-
automated mode for automatic con-
trol of the gears by the gearbox,
-
sequential mode for manual chang-
ing of the gears by the driver,
-
auto sequential mode for overtak-
ing, for example, remaining in the
automated mode while using the
functions of the sequential mode.

proaching a stop sign or traffi c lights for
example, the gearbox changes down to
fi rst gear automatically.
Place your foot on the
brake when this warning
lamp fl ashes (e.g.: starting
the engine).
There is an audible signal on
engagement of reverse.
9
DRIVING
"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 man-
ual selection of the gears in situations
which require a more rapid change-
down than in the automated mode (ar-
rival at a roundabout, leaving a car park
with a steep gradient, overtaking...).
The gearbox engages the required gear
if the engine speed permits. AUTO re-
mains displayed in the instrument panel.
After a few minutes, the gearbox re-
sumes 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.

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
Four-speed automatic gearbox which
offers a choice between the comfort of
fully automatic operation, enhanced by
sport and snow programmes, or manual
gear changing.
Therefore, four driving modes are of-
fered:
-
automatic operation for electronic
management of the gears by the
gearbox,
-
sport programme for a more dy-
namic style of driving,
-
snow programme to improve driv-
ing when traction is poor,
-
manual operation for sequential
changing of the gears by the driver.

If this procedure is not followed, an au-
dible signal is heard, accompanied by a
message in the multifunction screen.
With the engine running, press the
brake pedal.
Release the parking brake.
Select position R , D or M .
Gradually release the brake pedal.
The vehicle moves off immediately.
Automatic operation
Select position D for automatic
changing of the four gears.
The gearbox then operates in auto-
adaptive mode, without any intervention
on the part of the driver. It continuously
selects the most suitable gear according
to the style of driving, the profi le of the
road and the load in the vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without
touching the lever, press the accelera-
tor pedal down fully (kick down). The
gearbox changes down automatically
or maintains the gear selected until the
maximum engine speed is reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide effi cient engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply,
the gearbox will not change to a higher
gear for safety reasons.
Sport and snow programmes
These two special programmes supple-
ment the automatic operation in very
specifi c conditions of use.
Sport programme "S"
Press button "S" , after starting the
engine.
The gearbox automatically favours a
dynamic style of driving.
Snow programme " "
Press button " ", after starting the
engine.
The gearbox adapts to driving on slip-
pery roads.
This programme improves starting and
drive when traction is poor.
Return to automatic operation
At any time, press the button selec-
ted again to quit the programme en-
gaged and return to auto-adaptive
mode.
If position N is engaged inadver-
tently while driving, allow the en-
gine to return to idle then engage
position D to accelerate.
Never select position N while the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R
unless the vehicle is completely
stationary.
When the engine is running at
idle, with the brakes released,
if position R , D or M is selected,
the vehicle moves even without
the accelerator being pressed.
When the engine is running,
never leave children in the ve-
hicle without supervision.

Push the lever towards the + sign to
change up a gear.
Pull the lever 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 auto-
matic mode.
D disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succes-
sion on the instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low
or too high, the gear selected
fl ashes 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 selects gear M1
automatically.
The sport and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a
gear is not engaged correctly
(selector between two posi-
tions).
Stopping the vehicle
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.
If the lever is not in position P ,
when the driver's door is opened
or approximately 45 seconds af-
ter the ignition is switched off, a
message appears in the multi-
function screen.
Return the lever to position P ;
the message disappears.
There is a risk of damage to the
gearbox:
-
if you press the accelera-
tor and brake pedals at the
same time,
-
if you force the movement
of the gear lever from the P
position to another position
when the battery is fl at.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the multifunc-
tion screen, indicates a gearbox 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.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop as soon as possible.
To reduce fuel consumption when
at a prolonged standstill with the
engine running (traffi c jam...), put
the gear lever in the N position
and apply the parking brake.
9
DRIVING
STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the en-
gine temporarily into standby - STOP
mode - during stops in the traffi c (red
lights, traffi c jams, etc...). The engine
restarts automatically - START mode -
as soon as you want to move off. The
restart takes place instantly, quickly and
silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as offering
the comfort of silence when stationary.
Operation
-
with a manual gearbox , at speeds
below 12 mph (20 km/h), put the
gear lever into neutral, then release
the clutch pedal,
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO" warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and
the engine goes into standby:
For your comfort when parking,
STOP mode is not available for
a few seconds after coming out
of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such
as braking, power steering, for
example.
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.
A time counter calculates the
sum of the periods in STOP
mode during a journey. It
rests itself to zero every
time the ignition is switched
on with the key.
Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
STOP mode is not invoked when:
-
the driver's door is open,
-
the driver's seat belt is not fastened,
- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last engine start
using the key,
-
the engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the pas-
senger compartment,
-
demisting is active,
-
some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature, bra-
king assistance, ambient tempera-
ture...) where the engine is needed
to assure control of a system.
The "ECO"
warning lamp fl ashes
for a few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
9
DRIVING
Going into engine START mode
The "ECO" warning lamp goes
off and the engine starts:
-
with a manual gearbox , depress
the clutch pedal.
Special cases: START invoked
automatically
START is invoked automatically when:
-
the driver's door is open,
-
the driver's seat belt is not fastened,
- the speed of the vehicle exceeds
15 mph (25 km/h) with a manual
gearbox,
-
some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature, brak-
ing assistance, ambient tempera-
ture...) where the engine is needed
to assure control of a system.
Deactivation
At any time, press the "ECO OFF" switch
to deactivate the system.
This is confi rmed by the switch warn-
ing lamp coming on accompanied by a
message in the screen.
If the system has been deacti-
vated in STOP mode, the en-
gine restarts immediately.
Reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again.
The system is active again; this is con-
fi rmed by the switch warning lamp go-
ing off, accompanied by a message in
the screen.
The system is reactivated au-
tomatically at every new start
using the key.
With a manual gearbox in STOP
mode, if a gear is engaged with-
out fully depressing the clutch
pedal, a message is displayed
asking you to depress the clutch
pedal to restart the engine.
The "ECO"
warning lamp fl ash-
es, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.

Operating fault
Maintenance
In the event of a malfunction with the
system, the "ECO OFF" switch warning
lamp fl ashes, then comes on continu-
ously.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode,
the vehicle may stall. It is then neces-
sary to switch off the ignition and start
the engine again using the key.
Before working under the bon-
net, deactivate the Stop & Start
system to avoid any risk of injury
resulting from automatic opera-
tion of START mode.
The Stop & Start system makes
use of advanced technology.
All work on this battery must be
done by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
This system requires a battery with a
special specifi cation and technology
(reference numbers available from a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop).
Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN
introduces the risk of malfunction of the
system.
9
DRIVING
SPEED LIMITER
System which prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by
the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is
reached, pressing the accelerator pedal
in the normal manner no longer has any
effect.
The speed limiter is switched on ma-
nually: it requires a programmed speed
of at least 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off by
manual operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be ex-
ceeded temporarily by pressing the ac-
celerator fi rmly.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply slow down to a speed below the
programmed speed.
The programmed speed remains in the
memory when the ignition is switched
off.
The speed limiter cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need
to respect speed limits, nor can
it replace the need for vigilance
and responsibility on the part of
the driver.
