Note:

The simultaneous use of other

high frequency equipment (mobile

telephones, domestic alarms, etc.)

may momentarily hinder the opera-

tion of the remote control.

If there is a permanent fault, the

remote control has to be reini-

tialised. See "Changing remote

control batteries".

Central unlocking

A short press on control

B

unlocks your vehicle.

This operation is conﬁ rmed by the rapid ﬂ ashing of the direction indicators

and the lighting of the interior lamp (if the function is activated). It can also

deploy the exterior rear view mirrors.

Central locking – Deadlocking

A

short press

on button

A

locks your vehicle.

This is conﬁ rmed by the lighting for around 2 seconds of the direction indica-

tors and by the interior lamp going out. It may cause the exterior rear view

mirrors to fold back.

If any of the doors, or the boot, is open or not properly closed, the central

locking does not operate.

For vehicles equipped with deadlocking

, two successive presses on

control

A

will operate deadlocking. It is then impossible to open the doors,

either from the inside or from the outside.

It is dangerous to operate the deadlocking when a person

is in the vehicle as unlocking is impossible from the inside

(without the remote control).

K E Y S

It is dangerous to operate the deadlocking when a person

is in the vehicle as unlocking is impossible from the inside

(without the remote control).

The key number is on the label attached to the key.

Should you lose your key or remote control, a CITROËN dealer

can supply replacements.

Should any keys be lost

Visit your CITROËN dealer with your car registration document

and proof of identity.

Your CITROËN dealer can recover your key code and transponder

code to be able to replace your key.

The key operates all the vehicle’s

locks as well as the ignition.

Note:

For safety reasons, a buzzer

will sound if you have switched off

the ignition and opened the driver’s

door without having removed the

ignition key.

The key can be used to deactivate

the front passenger’s airbag. See

"Airbags".

Central locking using the key

A brief action with the key locks the vehicle.

Deadlocking: Central locking using the key

A second action straightaway with the key deadlocks the vehicle. It is then

impossible to open the doors from either inside or outside the vehicle.

Note:

With the vehicle stationary and the engine switched off, locking is

signalled by the ﬂ ashing of the interior locking control warning lamp.

If any of the doors, or the boot, is open or not properly closed, the central

locking does not operate.

Electronic immobiliser

The ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER device locks the engine supply system.

The system activates automatically as the key is removed from the ignition.

All the vehicle’s keys contain an electronic immobiliser device.

After you switch on the ignition, a dialogue starts between the key and the

electronic immobiliser device.

If the key is not recognised, you cannot start the vehicle.

If this occurs, leave your vehicle immobilised and contact a CITROËN dealer

.

A N T I - I N T R U S I O N A L A R M

Your vehicle may be equipped with

an ANTI-INTRUSION ALARM. This

provides:

Exterior perimeter protection

by means of detectors on the

vehicle access points (doors,

boot, bonnet) as well as on the

electrical supply.

Interior volumetric protection

by means of ultrasonic sensors

(detecting movement inside the

passenger compartment). This

can be deactivated using the

control

1

.

•

The installation also has a siren,

and a warning lamp on the con-

trol

1

which is visible from outside

the vehicle, indicating the three

possible statuses of the alarm:

Alarm not active (disarmed),

warning lamp off.

Alarm active (armed), the

warning lamp ﬂ ashes slowly.

Alarm triggered (signalling an

intrusion), the warning lamp

ﬂ ashes rapidly if the alarm is

deactivated by a press on the

control

B

. It stops as soon as

you switch on the ignition.

Note:

If there is a malfunction,

the warning lamp remains perma-

nently on.

•

Deactivation of the alarm

usng the remote control

The alarm is disarmed when you

unlock the vehicle (with a press on

button

B

on the remote control).

Deactivation of the alarm

with the key

Unlock the doors with the key. The

siren triggers. Enter the vehicle,

insert the key in the ignition and turn

it to the drive position to stop the

siren. Otherwise the siren will con-

tinue for approximately 30 seconds.

24

Operating the alarm

First make sure all the doors are closed.

The alarm is armed by pressing button

A

on the remote

control.

With the alarm armed, the protections are active after

5 seconds (perimeter) and 45 seconds (volumetric).

When the alarm is armed (on standby), any intrusion

will trigger the siren for 30 seconds, accompanied by

the direction indicators lighting up.

The alarm then goes back on standby, but the trigger-

ing remains memorised and is signalled by the rapid

ﬂ ashing of the warning lamp on control

1

after you have

deactivated the alarm with a press on the unlocking

button

B

. The ﬂ ashing stops when you switch on the

ignition.

The siren is also triggered if there is a cutting of the

electrical supply. To stop it, restore the electrical supply

then press on the unlocking button

B

.

Note:

If you want to lock your vehicle without arming the

alarm, just lock with the key only.

If you lock your vehicle and a door, or the boot, is

still open, the central locking does not operate but

the alarm will arm itself after approx. 45 seconds.

Note:

The siren is automatically deactivated (for example

for disconnecting the battery) as soon as the vehicle is

unlocked using the remote control.

•

Deactivating the volumetric detection

You can operate the alarm with perimeter protection

only, by deactivating the volumetric protection (if for

example you wish to leave an animal in the vehicle).

For this, switch off the ignition then immediately press

button

1

for at least one second.

The warning lamp on button

1

should come perma-

nently on. It will start to ﬂ ash when the alarm is armed.

Arm the alarm by locking your vehicle with the remote

control.

Automatic activation

(according to destination)

The alarm is armed automatically, 2 minutes after the

last door, or the boot, has been closed.

In order to prevent the alarm from triggering when you

open one of the doors or the boot, it is essential to press

the unlocking button

B

again on the remote control.

to comfort and also the headlamps

(not sidelamps or hazard warning

lamps) cut out automatically. To

reactivate them, it is necessary to

start the engine.

ADVICE

Vehicles equipped with

a Turbo

Never stop the engine without

ﬁ rst having allowed it to idle for a

few seconds, this being the time

required for the turbochargers to

return to a normal speed.

Do not "ﬂ ick" the accelerator at the

moment you switch off the ignition

as this could seriously damage the

turbochargers.

next service:

A few seconds after this, the engine

oil level indicator is displayed, then

the total mileage recorder resumes

its normal role.

Operation if the distance to

the next service is less than

1 000 km (600 miles)

Each time you switch on the ignition

and for 5 seconds, the spanner and

the distance ﬂ ash.

Example:

there remain up to the

next service: 500 km (300 miles).

This is the distance that can still be travelled

on the amount of fuel remaining in the tank.

When the distance remaining to be travelled is

less than approx. 25 km (15 miles), only three

dashes will be displayed.

Average consumption

This is the relationship between the fuel con-

sumed and the distance travelled since the last

reset to zero of the trip computer.

Instantaneous consumption

This is the result from the consumption

recorded within the last 2 seconds. This func-

tion is only available when travelling at over

30 km/h (approx. 20 mph).

Average speed

This is obtained, from the last reset to zero

of the trip computer, by dividing the distance

travelled by the time taken (with ignition

switched on).

Distance travelled

This is the distance that has been travelled

since the last reset to zero of the Journey

selected.

Your vehicle may be equipped with a "Stop & Start" system, in association with an Electronic Gearbox System; this

shuts down the engine during stopping phases (red lights, trafﬁ c jams, temporary halts, etc.).

During these phases, your vehicle uses no fuel, emits no pollutants and is completely silent.

The engine restarts instantly when you want to move forward again.

Functioning of the "Stop & Start" system:

If you brake to stop your vehicle, the engine shuts down just before the vehicle comes to a complete halt; the green

"ECO" warning lamp lights up in the instrument panel. The engine remains shut down for as long as you keep your

foot, even lightly, on the brake pedal.

As you release the brake pedal, the engine restarts automatically and instantly. The green "ECO" warning lamp goes

out. You can then accelerate to move forward again.

Situations where the engine does not shut down:

Before shutting down the engine, the system automatically and instantly checks that a certain number of conditions

touching on safety, cabin comfort or engine protection are met.

For example, the engine will not shut down, or it will restart by itself:

Within the few minutes following ﬁ rst starting (engine cold).

If the temperature in the passenger compartment is insufﬁ cient:

In conditions of extreme outside temperatures (lower than -10 °C, higher than +30 °C), provided the air

conditioning is operating.

More generally, if the ambient conditions and the temperature programmed for the air conditioning make it

necessary for the engine to be running in order to produce either warm or cold air.

If you have activated windscreen demisting/deicing.

In the event of a prolonged stop on a steep incline, in order to maintain the vehicle's braking capability.

After you have engaged reverse gear, engine shutdown is suspended for approx. ﬁ fteen seconds.

Deactivation of the "Stop & Start" system:

You can if you wish deactivate the "Stop & Start" system, by pressing the

"ECO OFF" button located on the left hand side on the central panel.

The warning lamp on the button then comes on, and your vehicle functions

like an ordinary vehicle.

You can reactivate the system with another press on the "ECO OFF" button:

The warning lamp on the button goes out.

Note:

The "Stop & Start" system reactivates automatically each time you

restart the vehicle.

Batteries

To operate correctly, the system requires a speciﬁ c battery and also a small additional battery which is situated under

one of the front seats.

For a change of battery, consult a CITROËN dealer.

Remark:

If there is a malfunction of the "Stop & Start" system, the "ECO" warning lamp ﬂ ashes brieﬂ y, accompanied by an

audible alert. The "ECO OFF" warning lamp lights up.

Contact a CITROËN dealer.

If the engine is in shutdown mode, it can restart at any moment.

Before taking any action under the bonnet, it is imperative

to switch off the ignition.

Before leaving the vehicle, it is also essential to switch off the ignition.

To facilitate the action on the lever, you are recommended to press the brake

pedal at the same time.

In all circumstances, as a precautionary measure, engage ﬁ rst gear.

On steep gradients, turn the steering towards the pavement.

To release the brake, pull the lever lightly up, press the button on the end of the

lever and return the lever to the fully down position.

ABS system

The ABS system enhances your safety by preventing the wheels from locking in the event of sudden braking

or in conditions of poor road adherence. It enables you to retain control of the steering.

The functioning capability of all the electrical components essential to the ABS is monitored electronically

before and during your journey. The ABS warning lamp lights up when you switch on the ignition: it should go out

after a few seconds.

If the monitoring warning lamp does not go out, that means that the ABS has disconnected because there is a fault.

Also, the fact that the monitoring warning lamp comes on during the journey shows that the ABS system is inactive.

In both cases, the normal braking system remains efﬁ cient, exactly as on a vehicle without ABS. However, in order

for the security associated with the correct functioning of the ABS to be restored, the vehicle should be examined as

soon as possible by a CITROËN dealer.

On roads with poor adherence (chippings, snow, ice etc.), it is always imperative to drive with prudence.

System of emergency braking assistance

(For vehicles with the ABS system)

The emergency braking assistance system helps you to attain the required braking pressure more rapidly, thus to

reduce the stopping distance. It operates as a function of the speed of action on the brake pedal, decreasing the

resistance to this action. To prolong this action of the emergency braking assistance system, simply keep your foot

on the brake pedal.

Emergency braking or sudden deceleration automatically operates the hazard warning lamps. They will cease to

operate automatically, or manually if you press the hazard lamps button on the dashboard.

When braking in an emergency, press down ﬁ rmly on the brake pedal and do not release any force.

To be effective, the air conditioning should only be used

with the windows closed.

If you are towing a heavy trailer and outside tempera-

tures are high, the air conditioning may be temporarily

paused if the engine cooling requires this.

Water arising from condensation in the air conditioning

system is evacuated through a hole provided for this

purpose; a pool of water may thus form underneath the

vehicle when stationary.

You are advised to have the air conditioning system

checked on a regular basis. See "Maintenance Guide".

The air conditioning operates by using power from

the engine. This results in a slight increase in fuel

consumption.

ISOFIX anchoring points and

the ISOFIX fastening system

The rear seats of your vehicle are

equipped with ISOFIX anchoring

points. These consist of 2 rings

located between the backrest and

the vehicle seat, approx. 28 cm

apart.

ISOFIX child seats are equipped

with 2 latches which are eay to

attach to these rings. This ﬁ xing

system is intended for children

weighing

up to 18 kg

.

Incorrect installation of a child seat

in a vehicle compromises protection

of the child in the event of a collision.

The ISOFIX system enables you to

minimise the risks posed by incorrect

ﬁ tting. The ISOFIX fastening system

gives you a convenient, strong and

reliable ﬁ tting for a child seat in your

vehicle.

The recommended ISOFIX child seat (1) for your vehicle is:

The ISOFIX RÖMER Duo Plus (1):

This child seat has been approved for children between 9 – 18 kg. It can

only be installed in the "forward-facing" position. The front seat must be

adjusted so that the child’s feet are not touching the backrest of the front

seat (slide the rear seat back as far as possible). The use of a top belt is not

necessary.

This child seat can also be installed in seat positions not ﬁ tted with ISOFIX

anchoring points. In this case, it must be secured to the seat by means of

the vehicle seat belt.

(1): On the ISOFIX anchoring points of the vehicle, you can only attach the

ISOFIX child seat approved for this vehicle.
