Good practice
Never select position N when the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless
the vehicle is stationary.
Never change between positions to
optimise braking on a slippery surface.
There is a risk of damage to the
gearbox:
- if you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,
- if you force the lever from position P
to another position in the event of a
battery failure.
When the engine is at idle, brakes
not applied, if position R , D or M is
selected the vehicle moves even
without the accelerator being pressed.
For this reason, do not leave children
unsupervised inside the vehicle,
with the engine running .
Operating abnormality
Any operating abnormality is indicated
by an audible signal, accompanied by
the message "Automatic gear fault"
on the display and fl ashing of the Snow
snowfl ake on the instrument panel.
In this situation the gearbox operates in
downgrade mode (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),
keeping within the limit of local speed
restrictions.
Contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as
possible.
You can return to the automatic
programme at any time.

Snow programme
In addition to the automatic
programme, there is a special
Snow programme.
This improves starting
and drive when traction is
poor. The snowfl ake appears on the
instrument panel display.
- Press button
7
once the
vehicle has been started
and position D selected.
The gearbox adapts to driving
on slippery roads.
