Citroen C3: Automatic gearbox / Manual operation

To limit fuel consumption during an extended standstill with the engine running (for example, in a traffic jam), set the gear selector to N and apply the parking brake.

• Selecting position M enables sequential shifting between the six gears.
• Push backwards to shift up a gear.
• Push forwards to shift down a gear.

The gearbox only changes gear if the road speed and engine speed permit; apart from this condition, the rules for automatic operation temporarily apply.

D disappears, and the gears engaged appear in succession on the instrument panel.

If the engine speed is too low or too high, the selected gear flashes for a few seconds, then the gearactually activated is displayed.

It is possible to change from position D to position M at any time.

When the vehicle is stationary or moving very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1 automatically.

The Sport programme is inactive in manual operation.

This symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly (gear selector between two positions).
