ALARM
System which protects and provides
a deterrent against the theft of your
vehicle. It provides two types of pro-
tection, exterior and interior, as well
as an anti-tamper function.
Exterior perimiter protection
The system detects opening of the
vehicle.
The alarm is triggered if anyone tries
to enter the vehicle by forcing a door,
the boot or the bonnet.
Interior volumetric protection
The system detects any variation in the
volume in the passenger compartment.
The alarm is triggered if anyone
breaks a window or moves inside
the vehicle.
If you wish to leave a pet in the vehicle
or a window partially open, deactivate
the interior volumetric protection.
Anti-tamper function
The system detects the putting out
of service of its components.
The alarm is triggered if anyone
tries to put the wires of the siren, the
central control or the battery out of
service.
D o n o t m a k e a n y m o d i fi c a t i o n s t o
the alarm system, this could cause
malfunctions. Locking the vehicle with full

The alarm is deactivated; the indica-
tor lamp on button A switches off. Locking the vehicle with
exterior protection alarm only
Deactivation of the interior
volumetric protection
Switch off the ignition.
Within ten seconds, press but-
ton A until the indicator lamp is lit
continuously.
Get out of the vehicle.
Lock or deadlock the vehicle

second.
To be effective, this deactivation
must be carried out each time the
ignition is switched off.
Reactivation of the interior
volumetric protection
Unlock the vehicle using the
unlocking button on the remote
control.
Relock the vehicle using the
remote control.

BONNET
Protects the components of the en-
gine and provides access for check-
ing levels.
Opening
Push the exterior safety catch B
to the left and raise the bonnet.
Unclip the stay C from its housing.
Fix the stay in the notch to hold
the bonnet open. Closing
Take the stay out of the support
notch.
Clip the stay in its housing.
Lower the bonnet then slam it
home at the end of its travel.
Pull on the bonnet to check that
it is fully closed.
The location of the interior release
lever prevents opening of the
bonnet while the driver's door is
closed.
This operation must only be carried
out when the vehicle is stationary.
Avoid opening the bonnet in strong
winds.
When the engine is hot, take care
when handling the exterior safety
catch and the bonnet stay (risk of
burns).
Open the driver's door.
Pull the interior release lever A ,
located at the bottom of the door

CHECKING LEVELS
Check all of these levels regularly
and top them up if necessary, unless
otherwise indicated.

corresponding system checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
Take care when working under the
bonnet, as some parts of the engine
can be extremely hot (risk of burns).
Oil level
Oil change
Refer to the Maintenance and
Warranty Guide for details of the in-
terval for this operation. O i l s p e c i fi c a t i o n The oil must correspond to your en-gine and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Brake fluid level
Fluid change
Refer to the Maintenance and
Warranty Guide for details of the in-
terval for this operation.
T h i s fl u i d m u s t b e c h a n g e d r e g u -

Coolant level
Coolant change
The coolant does not have to be
changed.
F l u i d s p e c i fi c a t i o n
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
The reading will only be
correct if the vehicle is on
level ground and the engine
has been off for more than
15 minutes.
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator on the instrument
panel, or using the dipstick.
Check this level also between each
scheduled service and before long
journeys. T h e b r a k e fl u i d l e v e l s h o u l d
be close to the "MAX" mark.
If it is not, check the brake
pad wear.
The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the
ignition off.

gine is cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour
after switching off the engine before
carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, un-
screw the cap by two turns to allow
the pressure to drop. When the pres-
sure has dropped, remove the cap
and top up the level.
In order to maintain the re-
liability of the engine and
emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine
oil is prohibited.
