Citroen C3: Automatic gearbox / Switching the vehicle off
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.
If the selector is not in
position P, when
the driver's door is opened or
approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is
switched off, an audible signal sounds and a
message appears.
- Return the gear selector to P; the audible
signal stops and the message disappears.
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...
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...

1. Stop: inserting and removing the key,
steering column locked.
2. Ignition: steering column unlocked, ignition

Driving and manoeuvring
aids cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.

Code, must remain in control of the vehicle in
all circumstances and must be able to retake
control of it at all times...
