 ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER 
 All of the keys contain an electronic  
immobiliser device. 
 This device locks the engine supply system. 
It is activated automatically when the key is 
removed from the ignition. 
 After the ignition is switched on, a dialogue 
is established between the key and the 
electronic immobiliser system.  This warning light is switched off 
after the ignition is switched on 
and the key has been recognised, 
the engine can be started. 
 If the key is not recognised, the engine 
cannot be started. Use another key and 
have the faulty key checked by a  CITROËN 
dealer . 
  Good practice 
 Do not make any modifications to the  
electronic immobiliser system. 
 Operating the remote control, even when it 
is in your pocket, may result in involuntary 
unlocking of the doors. 
 The simultaneous use of other high 
frequency equipment (mobile telephones, 
domestic alarms…), may interfere with the 
operation of the remote control temporarily. 
  
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle:   
   -   ensure that you are given the confidential  card, 
  -   have the keys memorised by a  CITROËN  dealer  to ensure that the keys in your 
possession are the only ones which can 
start the vehicle.  
 Driving with the doors locked may 
make access to the passenger 
compartment by the emergency services 
more difficult in an emergency. 
 As a safety precaution (with children on 
board), remove the key from the ignition 
when leaving the vehicle, even for a short 
time.  
 ALARM 
 This provides:  
   -   exterior perimeter protection by means of  detectors on the doors and bonnet and 
on the electrical supply, 
  -   interior protection,  
  -   anti-lift protection, 
  -  protection against the unauthorised  insertion of a key in the starter.   
 The equipment includes a siren. 
  Activation of the alarm 
 First ensure that all of the accesses are  
closed correctly. 
 The alarm is activated by pressing 
this control, the protection is 
active after a few seconds. 
 While the alarm is monitoring, any 
intrusion triggers the siren for approximately 
30 seconds, accompanied by lighting of the 
direction indicators. 
 The alarm then returns to monitoring mode. 
 The alarm is also triggered following an 
electrical supply cut-off, when the supply is 
restored.

Gearbox and steering wheel 
 ELECTRONIC GEARBOX SYSTEM 
 The 5-speed electronic gearbox system 
gives you the choice between the comfort of 
automatic mode or the driving pleasure of a 
manual gearbox.
This gearbox gives you access to two driving 
modes: 
   -  an automatic mode for the automatic 
management of gear changes, with no 
driver intervention necessary,
-  a sequential mode for manual gear 
changes made by the driver using the 
gear lever.     
 It is comprised of a gear lever 1 on the 
central console to select the driving mode, 
reverse gear and neutral, or to select 
sequential mode. 
  Gear lever positions 
  N : neutral. 
 With your foot on the brake pedal, select this 
position to start the engine. 
  R : reverse gear. 
With the vehicle stationary, hold your foot 
down on the brake pedal and push the gear 
lever upwards.  
  A : automatic mode. 
 Move the gear lever downwards to select 
this mode. 
  M  +/-: sequential mode with manual gear 
changes. 
 Move the lever downwards, then to the left 
to select this mode, then: 
   -  push it forwards to move up a gear,
-  pull it backwards to go down a gear.      
     Starting the vehicle 
 Select position  N . 
Press firmly on the brake pedal whilst 
starting the engine.  
 Start the engine. "N" appears on the 
instrument panel display.
Select first gear (position M or A) or reverse 
gear (position R).
Release the parking brake.
Remove your foot from the brake pedal, then 
accelerate.
"AUTO" and "1" or "R" appear on the 
instrument panel display.
It is possible to start in second gear, 
only in sequential mode.

Gearbox and steering wheel 
     Stopping - Starting on a gradient  
 This is an electronic gearbox system without 
a clutch pedal. 
To immobilise the vehicle on a gradient, 
you must use the parking brake and not 
the accelerator.  
 When starting on a gradient, accelerate 
gradually while releasing the parking brake.  
     Changing to sequential mode 
 Once you have started the engine, you 
can go into sequential mode by selecting 
position M.
  Changing to automatic mode 
 When in sequential mode, you can return to 
automatic mode by selecting position A.
   Stopping the vehicle  
 Before switching off the engine, you can: 
   -  select position N to engage neutral.
-  leave a gear engaged, such as first or 
reverse gear.     
 In either case, you must engage the parking 
brake to immobilise the vehicle.  
     Reinitialising  
 Following a battery disconnection, you must 
reinitialise the gearbox: 
   -  switch on the ignition, "AUTO" appears 
on the instrument panel display,
-  press on the brake pedal,
-  wait for about 30 seconds until "N" or 
a gear appears on the instrument panel 
display,
-  release the brake pedal.     
 The gearbox is now operational again.  
  Operating anomaly 
"AUTO" is displayed and the 
gear selected appears on the 
instrument panel display.
The gearbox operates in automatic mode, 
without the need for driver intervention.
It always selects the gear best suited to the 
following parameters:   
   -  driving style,
-  road profile,
-  vehicle load.     
 To maximise driving comfort and obtain the 
most suitable gear, avoid making rough 
movements on the accelerator pedal.
If you press the accelerator beyond the point 
of resistance, the gearbox selects the next 
gear down to allow for faster acceleration.          
"AUTO" disappears and 
the gears selected appear 
successively on the instrument 
panel display.
Gear change requests are only possible if 
the engine speed allows them.
Gently lift your foot from the accelerator 
pedal to select the gear.
When driving at low speed (e.g. approaching 
a stop sign or at traffic lights), the gearbox 
automatically changes down to first gear.    
  With the ignition switched on, the  fl   a s h i n g   o f  "AUTO" and the lighting of this warning lamp, accompanied by a sound signal and a message on the instrument panel display, indicate a gearbox malfunction.Have the system checked by your CITROËN dealer.You must always press the brake pedal 
down when starting the engine. 
When the vehicle is moving, never select 
neutral N.
Only select reverse gear R with the vehicle 
stationary and your foot on the brake pedal.
In all cases, you must engage the parking 
brake to immobilise the vehicle.
When on a steep gradient, you are advised 
to use sequential mode.

"Speed limiter" warning lamp displayed. 
Function deactivated,

(e.g. 107 km/h).
Speed exceeded 
(e.g. 118 km/h), 
the programmed speed flashes.
Operational fault detected, 
OFF  - the dashes flash.
    SPEED LIMITER "LIMIT"
This function can be selected either  
while driving, or while stationary with 
the engine running. 
The minumum speed that you can 
programme is 30 km/h (approx. 20 mph).
You can accelerate up to the programmed 
speed, at which point the accelerator will 
reach its point of resistance, indicating that 
you have reached the programmed speed. 
However, if you press the pedal down to the 
floor past the point of resistance, you can 
exceed the programmed speed. To return 
to the programmed speed, you merely need 
to gradually release the pressure on the 
accelerator pedal and return to a speed 
below the programmed speed. Adjustments can be made while driving, 
or while stationary with the engine 
running.
The status of the function and the 
programmed speed is displayed on the 
instrument panel:

-  Turn the ring to LIMIT position. 
The speed limiter is selected but is not  
yet activated. The last programmed 
speed is displayed.
   Programming a speed 
You can programme the speed without  
activating the speed limiter (with the engine 
running).
To memorise a higher speed than that 
already memorised:
-  move the control up (+). 
A short press increases the speed by 1 mph. 
Holding it down increases the speed in steps 
of 5 mph.
To memorise a lower speed than that 
already memorised:
-  move the control down (-). 
A short press decreases the speed by  
1 mph.
Holding it down decreases the speed in 
steps of 5 mph.
Activation/deactivation (off)
A first press on this button activates the  
speed limiter, a second press deactivates it 
(OFF).
