Electric operation
The driver uses the controls located on the door to operate the vehicle’s electric windows.
Note: the electric windows can also be operated for a limited time after the ignition has been switched off (including after the front doors have been opened).
Sequential control
An action on the control to the first notch causes a window move­ment which stops as soon as the control is released. An action on the control to the second notch causes the window to close or open fully, a further press on the control stops the movement.
ALWAYS PAY ATTENTION TO WHERE CHILDREN ARE WHEN
OPENING OR CLOSING WINDOWS.
- Always remove the ignition key when leaving the vehicle, even for short periods.
- If the driver is operating the passenger’s electric window control, the driver should ensure that no passenger is obstructing the window from closing.
- The driver should check that the electric windows are used properly by the passengers.
- Should there be any risk of a person becoming trapped by a window clos­ing, you should immediately reverse the window movement. To do this, reverse the position of the control concerned.
This prevents the rear windows from being operated, and the rear doors from being opened, from the rear seat positions.
It is activated by means of a press on control A located on the electric windows control panel. The warning lamp in the instrument
panel lights up for approx. 10 seconds. Each time the ignition is switched on, the warning lamp comes on for
approx. 10 seconds. Opening of the doors from the outside and operation of the rear electric
windows remain possible from the front of the vehicle.
Anti-pinch device
An anti-pinch device stops the window from rising. If it meets an obstacle, it goes back down.
After a battery disconnection or in the event of a malfunction, you have to re-initialise the anti-pinch function:
- Lower the window fully using the control, then close. It will rise only a few centimetres.
- Press repeatedly on the control until the window is fully closed.
Warning: During this operation, the anti-pinch protection does not work.

When the desired maximum speed is displayed, press button 3 to activate the limitation.
The information “OFF” then dis­appears from zone A.
While the function is active, press­ing the accelerator pedal will not enable you to go beyond the pro­grammed speed unless you press the pedal hard down past the tight spot (see “Temporary exceeding of the maximum speed”).
Note: The vehicle speed may vary slightly from that memorised.

To stop the function
- move the control from position
“LIM” to position 0.
- or stop the engine. The speed that you chose is
memorised. In the event of a malfunction, a
message is displayed, accompa­nied by a sound signal and lighting of the SERVICE warning lamp. Consult your CITROËN dealer.
A floor carpet not recommended by CITROËN risks sliding under
the accelerator pedal, thus preventing you from pressing past the
tight spot.
It will then be impossible to exit from the desired limitation,
unless by acting on the steering wheel control.
The driver must still remain attentive and in complete control of
the vehicle.
Temporary override of the maximum speed
You can exceed the memorised maximum speed at any time by pressing the accelerator pedal hard down past the tight spot.
During the time the limit speed is being exceeded, the displayed speed flashes.
You have only to release the accelerator pedal to return below the maximum speed, thus keep­ing the function active.
Note: if during speed limitation, the system cannot keep to the maximum speed (especially on a steep descent or if you accelerate too hard) the speed flashes.Adapt your speed as necessary.
The function will re-engage when your speed has returned below the desired maximum.
Deactivation of the maximum speed
Press button 3. The information “OFF” will appear
on the instrument panel screen. This action does not cancel the
memorised maximum speed, which remains displayed in zone A of the instrument panel.

The 6-speed electronic gearbox offers you a choice of two driving modes
:
- automatic mode,
- manual mode,
with two methods of control : the controls under the steering wheel and the gear selector on the
central console.
For each of these two modes, a Sport option, corresponding to a more dynamic driving style, is also available.

Temporary manual mode
In automatic mode, a touch on the controls under the steering wheel «+» or «-» lets you change gear immediately.
The warning lamp «AUTO» remains displayed in the rev coun­ter.
In the absence of any new action, automatic mode reactivates depending on the driving condi­tions.
Engaging reverse gear
Only engage reverse gear when the vehicle is completely station­ary.
When the vehicle is moving at
very low speed, if reverse gear is requested (position R), this will be taken into account only when the vehicle stops.
The «foot on brake» warning
lamp may flash in the instrument panel to remind you to brake.
If vehicle is moving at high speed
and reverse gear is requested, the warning lamp «N» will flash and your vehicle will go automati­cally into neutral. To re-engage a gear, you have only to return the gear selector to position A or M.
Note : A sound signal indicates when reverse gear is engaged.
If parking assistance is deacti­vated, the sound signal for reverse gear engaged is absent.

To aid starting on a gradient, your vehicle is equipped with a system which keeps it temporarily immo­bilised.
It keeps the brakes applied for a brief moment, precisely the time taken for moving your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
This function is only active when the vehicle has been com­pletely stationary, with your foot on the brake pedal, in particular conditions on a slope.
Note :
The hill start assist function can­not be deactivated.
On a descending slope, pro­vided the vehicle is stationary and reverse gear is engaged, the vehicle is held for a brief moment when you release the brake pedal.
Warning : do not exit the vehicle during the hill start assist phase.
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle stationary, the vehicle is held for a brief moment when you release the brake pedal,
provided you are in A or M.
Display of these warning lamps indicates a malfunctioning of the hill start assist function.
