them rearwards so that they lock
in position.

Always supervise any movements
of seats by children.

Panels behind the second
row seats

(when loading, for example)

You can fold the second-row seat(s)

from the boot, having fi rst folded the

third-row seats.
 Pull on the strap D to unlock the

can be used by third-row passen-
gers to facilitate their exit.
Always supervise any movements
of seats by children.

Rigid panel

Each second-row seat backrest has
a rigid panel attached.
This panel enables you:
-

to have a continuous load sur-
face in the boot, whatever the
positions of the seats,

-

to avoid having objects sliding
under the second-row seats.

Unlocking/Locking the rigid panel

 Slide the latch 1 on the plate

downwards, to unlock.

 Return the panel to the upright

position, then slide the latch 1

the left to select the correspond-
ing mirror,

 move control B in one of four

directions to adjust,

 return control A to the central

position.

closer than they appear.
Take this into account in order to
correctly judge the distance of
vehicles approaching from behind.

Folding

reverse gear.

 Select and adjust the left-hand

and right-hand mirrors in suc-
cession.

The adjustment is stored immedi-
ately.

light from the rear.
It lightens when the light (light beam
of following vehicles, sun...) de-
creases, so guaranteeing optimum
visibility.

In order to guarantee optimum visi-
bility during your manoeuvres, the
mirror lightens automatically when
reverse gear is engaged.

Anti-theft protection

Electronic engine immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip
which has a special code. When the

locks the engine management sys-
tem a few minutes after the ignition
is switched off and prevents starting
of the engine by anyone who does
not have the key.

In the event of a mal-
function, you are in-
formed by lighting of
this warning lamp, an
audible

signal

and

a message on the multifunction
screen.
In this case, your vehicle does not
start; contact a CITROËN dealer as
soon as possible.

2. "M": Drive position

Depending on the version of your
vehicle, the orange and red warning
lamps should also come on for a short
time.

3. "D": Starter

Release the key as soon the engine
has started.
If the fi rst attempt fails, switch off the

ignition. Wait ten seconds then operate
the starter again.

off automatically after one hour.
To switch the ignition back on, turn
the key to position S then back to
position M .

Do not run the engine in an en-
closed space or where there is

insuffi cient ventilation .
It is essential always to keep the

sistance .
Never remove the ignition key
before the vehicle has come to a
complete stop.

STOPPING

Vehicles equipped with a
turbocharger

Never stop the engine without having
allowed it to run for a few seconds
at idle, this being the time required
for the turbocharger to return to a
normal speed.
Flicking the accelerator at the mo-
ment of switching off the ignition
could cause serious damage.

A heavy object (key fob...), attached
to the key and weighing down on
its shaft in the ignition switch, could
cause a malfunction.

Never turn the key to this position
when the engine is running.

trol.

If the problem persists, contact a
CITROËN dealer as soon as pos-
sible.

Reinitialisation

 Turn the key to position 2

(Ignition on) .

 Press the closed padlock imme-

diately for a few seconds.

tery is fl at, you are in-

formed by lighting of this
warning lamp, an audible
signal and a message on
the multifunction screen.

 Unclip the casing using a coin at

the notch.



Lost keys

Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehi-
cle's V5 registration document and your

personal identifi cation documents.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to
retrieve the key code and the trans-
ponder code required to order a re-
placement key.

Remote control

The high frequency remote control is
a sensitive system; do not operate it
while it is in your pocket as there is a
possibility that it may unlock the vehi-
cle, without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons
of your remote control out of range
and out of sight of your vehicle. You
run the risk of stopping it from work-
ing and the remote control would
have to be reinitialised.
The remote control does not operate
when the key is in the ignition, even
when the ignition is switched off, ex-
cept for reinitialisation.

Locking the vehicle

Driving with the doors locked may
make access to the passenger com-
partment by the emergency services

more diffi cult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children
on board), remove the key from the
ignition when you leave the vehicle,
even for a short time.

Anti-theft protection

Do not make any modifi cations to the

electronic engine immobiliser sys-
tem; this could cause malfunctions.

When purchasing a second-
hand vehicle

Have the key codes memorised by a
CITROËN dealer, to ensure that the
keys in your possession are the only
ones which can start the vehicle.

Do not throw the remote
control batteries away, they
contain metals which are
harmful to the environment.

Take them to an approved collection
point.
