If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,
never try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.

Stopping the vehicle

Whatever the state of the gearbox when the
ignition is switched off, mode P is engaged
automatically and immediately.
However, in mode N, mode P will be engaged
after a duration of 5 seconds (allowing for the
process of putting the vehicle to free-wheeling).
Check that mode P has been engaged and
that the electric parking brake was applied
automatically; if not, apply it manually.
The corresponding indicator lamps
in the selector and the electric
parking brake control lever must
be on, as well as those in the
instrument panel.
Operating faults

Gearbox operating fault

This is signalled by the illumination of
this warning lamp, accompanied by the
display of a message and an audible
signal, when the ignition is switched on.
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Do not drive faster than 62 mph (100 km/h),
keeping to the speed limit.
The gearbox switches to back-up mode: mode
D is locked in third gear, the steering-mounted
control paddles are inoperative, mode M is no
longer available. You may feel a pronounced
jolt when engaging reverse. This does not
present any risk for the gearbox.

come on, but the state of the gearbox is still
displayed in the instrument panel.
