Accesses
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.
“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.
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
With the ignition switched on, the fl ashing of “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.
“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.
