ACCESS
IMMOBILISER
This locks the engine control sys-
tem as soon as the ignition has been
switched off and therefore prevents
starting of the vehicle by anyone who
does not have the key.
The ignition key has an electronic
chip which has a special code. When
the ignition is switched on, the code
must be recognised for starting to be
possible.
In the event of a malfunction, your
vehicle will not start.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Changing the remote control
battery
To change the battery, remove the
screw then unclip the housing using
a coin inserted at the ring.
Battery CR 2016/3 volts.
If the remote control does not work
after the battery has been changed,
reinitialise it.
Reinitialising the remote
control
Following replacement of the remote
control battery or in the event of a re-
mote control malfunction, it may be
necessary to reinitialise the system.
Switch off the ignition.
Switch the ignition on again.
Press one of the remote control
buttons immediately for a few
seconds.
Switch off the ignition and remove
the key from the ignition lock.
The remote control is now working
again.
If the malfunction persists, contact a
CITROËN dealer. Driving with the doors locked
may make access to the pas-
senger compartment by the
emergency services more
d i f fi c u l t i n a n e m e r g e n c y .
As a safety measure (with children
on board), remove the key from the
ignition when leaving the vehicle,
even for a short time.

electronic immobiliser system.
Do not discard the remote
control batteries, they con-
tain metals which are harm-
ful to the environment.
Take them to a CITROËN dealership,
or to any other approved collection
point. The high frequency remote control is
a sensitive system; do not operate it
in your pockets as there is a risk that
it may unlock the vehicle without you
being aware of this.
Avoid pressing the buttons of your
remote control out of range of your
vehicle, you risk rendering it inopera-
tive. It would then have to be reini-
tialised.

SAFETY When this warning lamp
comes on, it indicates that
there is a malfunction of the
ABS, which can cause a
loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
When these warn-
ing lamps come
on simultaneous-
ly, it indicates that
there is a malfunc-
tion of the braking system or that the
parking brake has not been released
fully, which can cause a loss of con-
trol of the vehicle when braking.
Stop immediately.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Normal operation of the ABS
may make itself felt by slight
vibrations of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking,
p r e s s v e r y fi r m l y w i t h o u t
releasing the pressure. TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)
These systems are linked and sup-
plement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to
prevent the wheels skidding, by act-
ing on the brakes of the driving wheels
and on the engine. It also allows the
directional stability of the vehicle to
be improved on acceleration.
If there is a variation between the tra-
jectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESP
system automatically acts on the
brake of one or more wheels and on
the engine to put the vehicle back on
course, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
Operating check
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems When one of these two
systems is operating, this
warning lamp comes on. When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, this warn-
ing lamp comes on.
The ASR/ESP systems offer
exceptional safety during nor-
mal driving, but this should
not encourage the driver to
take extra risks or drive at
high speed.
Correct operation of these systems
depends on observation of the man-
ufacturer's recommendations re-
garding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components and the
electronic components as well as the
CITROËN dealer repair procedures.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Activation of the ESP system is also
accompanied by an audible signal. Contact a CITROËN dealer to have
the systems checked.
