ACCESS
IMMOBILISER
This locks the engine control system
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 CR2016/3 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
remote 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
passenger compartment by
the emergency services more
diffi cult in an emergency.
As a safety measure (with children
on board), remove the key from the
ignition when leaving the vehicle,
even for a short time.
Do not make any modifi cations to the
electronic immobiliser system.
Do not discard the remote
control batteries, they contain
metals which are harmful 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
inoperative. It would then have to be
reinitialised.

SAFETY
Deactivating the passenger
airbag
it is essential to deactivate the passenger airbag when you install a "rear-facing" child seat on the front passenger seat. Otherwise, the child would risk being seriously injured or killed if the air bag were to infl ate. With the ignition switched off , switched offinsert the key into the passenger airbag deactivation switch 1 , turn it to the "OFF" position, then remove the key keeping the switch in this position.
In the "OFF" position, the passenger air bag will not be triggered in the event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed, turn the airbag switch to the "ON"position to re-activate the airbag and thus ensure the safety of your passenger in the event of an impact.
If the passenger airbag is deactivated, the warning lamp on the instrument panel remains on until the passenger airbag is reactivated.
The curtain airbag infl ates between
the front or rear occupant and the
windows. It therefore limits the risk
of head injuries. In the event of a
minor impact or bump on the side of
the vehicle or if the vehicle rolls over,
the airbag may not be triggered. The
airbag is not triggered in the event of
a front or rear collision. Flashing indicates a
malfunction of at least one
of these airbags.
Contact a CITROËN dealer
to have the system checked.
The air bags may no longer be triggered
in the event of a serious impact.
Deactivation (check)
Airbag malfunction
* According to version.
SIDE AIRBAGS * AND CURTAIN AIRBAGS *
The side airbags are built into the
front seat backs on the door side.
The triggering of these airbags
requires a serious side impact
applied in the side impact zone B ,
perpendicular to the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle, on a
horizontal plane and from the outside
of the vehicle towards the inside. The
side airbag infl ates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the door
trim pad. It therefore limits the risk of
injury to the chest.
The rear side airbags afford the rear
passengers the same protection
which the front side airbags offer the
front passengers.
The curtain airbags are built into the
headlining.

CHECKS
CHECKING THE LEVELS
There are two marks
on the dipstick:

A = maximum
If you fi ll past this mark,
contact a CITROËN
dealer.

B = minimum
Never allow the level
to fall below this mark.
Dipstick
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet. Changing the brake fluid
The brake fl uid must be changed at
the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Use fl uids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfi l DOT4
standards.
Windscreen wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you
use products recommended by your
manufacturer.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Oil viscosity grade
In all cases, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer's requirements. Cooling system
Used oil
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fl uid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.
To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited. Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a
turn to release the pressure
to prevent any risk of
scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level. Only use the fl uid recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
Otherwise, you risk seriously
damaging your engine.
Do not dispose of used oil,
brake fl uid or coolant into
drains or into the ground.
Empty the used oil into the
containers provided for this
purpose in the CITROËN network
(France) or at an authorised waste
disposal site.
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum
consumption is 0.5 l per 600 miles
(1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is
controlled by the engine fan. As this
fan can operate with the ignition key
removed and because the cooling
system is pressurised, wait for at
least one hour after the engine has
stopped before carrying out any
work.
