Manual operation
 Select position M for sequential
changing of the six gears.
 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 au-
tomatic mode.
D disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succes-
sion in the instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low
or too high, the gear selected
fl ashes for a few seconds, then the ac-
tual 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 mov-
ing 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, unless it is
programmed to automatic mode.
If the lever 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.
 Return the lever to position P ;
the audible signal stops and
the message disappears.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on,
the lighting of this warning
lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
multifunction screen, indicates a gear-
box malfunction.
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), lo-
cal speed restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
This warning lamp may also come on if
a door is opened.
You risk damaging the gearbox:
- if you press the accelera-
tor and brake pedals at the
same time,
- if you force the lever from
position P to another position
when the battery is fl at.
To reduce fuel consumption
when stationary for long periods
with the engine running (traffi c
jam...), position the gear lever
at N and apply the parking brake,
unless it is programmed in auto-
matic mode.
