Citroen C3: Automatic gearbox / Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction,
this warning
lamp comes on and a message is
displayed, when the ignition is switched on.
In this case, the gearbox goes into back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. It is possible to
feel a significant jolt (without risk for the gearbox)
while changing from P to R and from N to R.
Do not exceed 62 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
There is a risk of
damaging the gearbox:
- If the accelerator and brake pedals are
pressed simultaneously.
- In the event of a battery failure, forcing the
selector from position P to another position.
With an automatic gearbox,
never try to
start the engine by pushing the vehicle.
Before switching off the engine, it is possible to
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...
(Depending on engine.)
This system helps reduce fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and the
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise to
skip one or more gears...
