informs you when the next service is due,
in accordance with the Manufacturer ’s
servicing schedule indicated in the servicing
booklet. This information is determined in
relation to the distance travelled since the
previous service.
You are warned by flashing of the
engine oil pressure warning light
and the displaying of a message
on the instrument panel each time
the vehicle is started.
In this case, your vehicle must be
serviced as soon as possible.

servicing booklet which was given to
you on delivery of the vehicle.
After a few seconds, the display returns to

change the brightness of the

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.

- exterior perimeter protection by means of
detectors on the doors and bonnet and
on the electrical supply,
