SPORT and SNOW
programmes
These two special programmes sup-
plement the automatic operation in
very specifi c conditions of use.
Selector position for manual gear
changing.
The fl ashing of the warning lamp for
the position requested signals that
this position is not yet obtained.
If the warning lamp is on fi xed, the
position is confi rmed.
Lighting of a dash in the rev coun-
ter indicates an operating fault. In
this case:
- a marked snatching may be felt
when selecting R for reverse
gear,
- the gearbox is locked in a gear,
- do not exceed 60 mph (approx.
100 km/h).
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
- A request to change gear is ac-
cepted only if the engine speed
permits it.
- For safety reasons, depending
on the engine speed, a change
up or down may be performed
automatically.
- It is possible at any time to move
from position D (driving in auto-
matic mode) to position M (driving
in sequential mode) or vice versa.
