PARKING ASSISTANCE

LANE DEPARTURE

WARNING SYSTEM

This driving assistance device

warns you when you unwittingly

cross a lane marking (either a con-

tinuous or a dotted line on the road

surface). It is designed for use on

motorways and dual carriageways,

operating only above speeds of

approx. 80 km/h (50 mph).
A press on button B activates the

function, the warning lamp on the

button lights up.

HEAD-UP DISPLAY

The Head-up display projects

essential driving data into the

driver's fi eld of vision. This enables

the driver never to take his eyes

off the road.

The controls for the Head-up dis-

play are located beneath the air

vent on the driver's side.

ECO-DRIVING

Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO

emissions.

Optimise the use of your

gearbox

With a manual gearbox, move off

gently, change up without waiting

and drive by changing up quite

soon. If your vehicle has the sys-

tem, the gear shift indicator invites

you to change up; it is displayed

in the instrument panel, follow its

instructions.

With an automatic or electronic

gearbox, stay in Drive "D" or

Auto "A", according to the type

of gear selector, without pressing

the accelerator pedal heavily or

suddenly.

Drive smoothly

Maintain a safe distance between
vehicles, use engine braking
rather than the brake pedal, and
press the accelerator progres-
sively. These attitudes contribute
towards a reduction in fuel con-
sumption and CO

emissions and

also helps reduce the background
traffi c noise.

When the traffi c is fl owing well,

and if you have cruise control,

make use of the system at speeds

above 25 mph (40 km/h).

Control the use of your

electrical equipment

Before moving off, if the passenger
compartment is too warm, ventilate it
by opening the windows and air vents
before using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the
windows and leave the air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment
that can help keep the temperature in
the passenger compartment down
(sun roof and window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning,
unless it has automatic digital
regulation, as soon as the desired
temperature is attained.
Switch off the demisting and defrost-
ing controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon
as possible.

Switch off the headlamps and front

foglamps when the level of light

does not require their use.

Avoid running the engine before

moving off, particularly in winter;

your vehicle will warm up much

faster while driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid con-

necting your multimedia devices

(fi lm, music, video game...), you

will contribute towards limiting the

consumption of electrical energy,

and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices

before leaving the vehicle.

Limit the causes of excess

consumption

Spread loads throughout the

vehicle; place the heaviest items

in the bottom of the boot, as close

as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the

vehicle and reduce wind resist-

ance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle

carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box

in preference. Remove roof bars

and roof racks after use.

At the end of winter, remove

snow tyres and refi t your summer

tyres.

Observe the recommendations

on maintenance

when cold, referring to the label in

the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-

before a long journey,

at each change of season,

after a long period out of use.

Don't forget the spare wheel and

the tyres on any trailer or caravan.

Have your vehicle serviced regu-

larly (engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...)

and observe the schedule of oper-

ations recommended by the manu-

facturer.

When refuelling, do not continue

after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle

to avoid any overfl ow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle,

it is only after the fi rst 1 800 miles

(3 000 kilometres) that you will

see the fuel consumption settle

down to a consistent average.

R E M O T E C O N T R O L

Note:

The simultaneous use of other

high frequency equipment

(mobile telephones, domestic

alarms, etc.) may momentar-

ily hinder the operation of the

remote control.
If there is a permanent fault,

the remote control has to be

reinitialised. See "Changing

the remote control battery".

CENTRAL UNLOCKING

A press on button A 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 - CLOSING OF WINDOWS AND SUN

ROOF - DEADLOCKING

A short press on button B locks your vehicle.
A long press on button B locks your vehicle and closes the windows

and the sun roof.
Two successive presses on button B deadlocks the vehicle. It is then

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

This operation is confi rmed by the direction indicators illuminating for approx.

2 seconds and by the interior lamp switching off. This also folds the exterior

rear view mirrors.
If any of the doors, or the boot, is open or not properly closed, the central

locking does not operate.

•
•

•

If closing the windows and sun roof using the remote control,

the user must make sure that no person is preventing the

windows and/or sun roof from closing properly.
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).

R E M O T E C O N T R O L

FOLDING AND EJECTING THE KEY

Button D is for folding and ejecting the key from its housing in the remote

control.
If you do not press on button D, you could damage the key mechanism.

Changing the remote control battery

Unclip the cover to gain access to the battery.
Battery: CR0523 - 3 V.
After a change of battery, it may be necessary to re-initialise the remote

control. To do that, switch on the ignition and immediately press button B

on your remote control to trigger the action desired. This may take some

ten seconds.
Note: Make a careful note of the numbers for the keys and for the remote

control on the ASSISTANCE card. Keep this in a safe place.
Do not throw away the old batteries. They should be returned to a

CITROËN dealer or deposited at a recognised collection point (a camera

shop, for example).

Except when reinitialising, the remote control cannot function while the key is in the ignition,

even when switched off.
Warning: by inadvertently actioning the remote control, when for example it is in your pocket,

you can unlock the vehicle without your realising it.
However, if none of the doors is opened within thirty seconds following an unlocking, the doors

will automatically relock.
Warning: there is a risk of damage if the replacement battery is not the correct one.
Only use batteries that are identical or equivalent to those approved by CITROËN.

GUIDE-ME-HOME LIGHTING

A press on button C operates the

guide-me-home lighting (illumina-

tion of the sidelamps and dipped

beams for approx. one minute).
A second press prior to the end of

this period cancels the guide-me-

home lighting.

LOCATING OF THE VEHICLE

To locate the vehicle in a carpark,

press button B, the interior lamps

come on and the direction indica-

tors fl ash for a few seconds. The

vehicle remains locked.

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.
If you unlock your vehicle using the key because of a problem with the battery, be aware that

opening/closing a door with the window closed can seriously damage the glass, even to the point

of breaking it. See "Access".

ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER

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 sig-

nalled 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 cen-

tral 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 A. 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 A 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 continue for approximately

30 seconds.

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

OPERATING THE ALARM

First make sure all the doors are closed.
The alarm is armed by pressing button B 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 A. 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 A.
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.
It is recommended to deactivate the volumetric detec-

tion when washing the vehicle in order to prevent the

random triggering of the alarm.

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 A again on the remote control.

S T E E R I N G L O C K – I G N I T I O N – S TA R T E R

NEVER REMOVE THE IGNITION KEY BEFORE THE ENGINE

HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.
IT IS ESSENTIAL ALWAYS TO DRIVE WITH THE ENGINE

RUNNING, SO AS TO RETAIN STEERING AND BRAKING

ASSISTANCE (risk of the steering lock engaging and loss

of safety features).
Do not hang a heavy object on the key; it could pull the key out

of alignment in the switch and could cause a malfunction.
When stationary, having removed the key, carefully turn the

steering wheel if you wish to lock the steering.

S: STEERING LOCK

To unlock the steering, gently move

the steering wheel while turning the

key, without exerting undue force.
When you remove the key, turn

your steering wheel to lock the

steering. The key can only be

removed when in position S.

M: DRIVE POSITION

The steering is unlocked (by turning

the key in position M, if necessary

move the steering wheel).

STARTING AND STOPPING

THE ENGINE

See "Driving".

ECONOMY MODE

In order not to discharge the bat-

tery while the engine is stopped,

your vehicle goes automatically

into economy mode after a maxi-

mum of 30 minutes. Economy

mode is indicated by a message

on the screen.
The electrical components relating

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.

Depending on your vehicle ver-

sion, the following warning lamps

are tested:

If one of these warning lamps does

not light up, this indicates a mal-

function.

D: STARTING

Release the key as soon as the

engine starts. Never turn it while

the engine is running.

DO NOT RUN THE ENGINE IN A CLOSED SPACE OR IN ONE

THAT IS INSUFFICIENTLY VENTILATED.

DIESEL

Starting the engine

Turn the key to the drive position.
Wait for the preheater warning lamp

to go out, if it is on, then action the

starter until the engine starts (not

more than 10 seconds).
If the engine does not start, switch

off the ignition.
Recommence the operation.
Note: During starting, do not touch

the accelerator.

ADVICE

Diesel vehicle with turbo-

chargers

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.

Check that the automatic gear selector is in position P or N.
