only active in manual operation.

instrument panel in the form of an

arrow and the recommended gear.

If a fault in the system occurs, these warning

lamps come on.

Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop to have the system checked.

The system adapts its gear shift

recommendation according to the driving

conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the

driver's requirements (power, acceleration,

Operation

Depending on the driving situation and your

vehicle's equipment, the system may advise

you to skip one or more gears.

Gear engagement recommendations are

only optional. In fact, the configuration of the

road, the traffic density and safety remain

determining factors when choosing the best

gear. Therefore, the driver remains responsible

for deciding whether or not to follow the

system's advice.

Stop & Start

The Stop & Start function puts the engine

temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during

phases when the vehicle is stopped (red lights,

queues, etc.). The engine restarts automatically

– START mode – as soon as the driver wishes

to move off again.

Primarily designed for urban use, the function

is intended to reduce fuel consumption and

exhaust emissions as well as the noise level

when stationary.
