Maintenance indicator zero reset Engine oil level indicator
After each service, the maintenance
indicator must be reset to zero.
The procedure for resetting to zero
is as follows:

 switch off the ignition,

 press and hold the trip distance
recorder zero reset button,

 switch on the ignition; the dis-
tance recorder display begins a
countdown,

 when the display indicates "=0" ,
release the button; the spanner
disappears. System which informs the driver
whether the engine oil level is correct
or not.
This information is displayed for a
few seconds when the ignition is
switched on, after the service infor-
mation.
The level read will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for more
than 15 minutes.
Oil level correct
Oil level low
This is indicated by the fl ashing of

"OIL" , accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the multi-
function screen.
If the low oil level is confi rmed by a
check using the dipstick, it is essential
that the level is topped up to prevent
damage to the engine. Oil level gauge fault
This is indicated by the fl ashing of

"OIL --" . Contact a CITROËN dealer.
Dipstick
Refer to the "Checks" section to
locate the dipstick and the oil fi ller
cap on your engine. There are 2 marks on
the dipstick:
- A = max; never ex-
ceed this level,
- B = min; top up the
level via the oil fi ller
cap, using the type
of oil suited to your
engine.
Following this operation, if you wish
to disconnect the battery, lock the
vehicle and wait at least fi ve minutes
for the zero reset to be taken into ac-
count.

Lost keys
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehi-
cle's V5 registration document and your
personal identifi cation documents.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to
retrieve the key code and the trans-
ponder code required to order a re-
placement key.
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is
a sensitive system; do not operate it
while it is in your pocket as there is a
possibility that it may unlock the vehi-
cle, without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons
of your remote control out of range
and out of sight of your vehicle.
You run the risk of stopping it from
working and the remote control
would have to be reinitialised.
The remote control does not operate
when the key is in the ignition, even
when the ignition is switched off, ex-
cept for reinitialisation.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may
make access to the passenger com-
partment by the emergency services
more diffi cult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children
on board), remove the key from the
ignition when you leave the vehicle,
even for a short time. Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifi cations to the
electronic engine immobiliser system;
this could cause malfunctions.
When purchasing a second-
hand vehicle
Have the key codes memorised by a
CITROËN dealer, to ensure that the
keys in your possession are the only
ones which can start the vehicle.
Do not throw the remote
control batteries away, they
contain metals which are
harmful to the environment.
Take them to an approved collection
point.

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 perimeter 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 com-
partment.
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.
Do not make any modifi cations to
the alarm system, this could cause
malfunctions. Locking the vehicle with full
alarm
Activation

 Switch off the ignition and get out
of the vehicle.

 Lock or deadlock the vehicle using
the locking button on the remote
control.
The alarm is activated; the indicator
light on button A fl ashes once per
second.
Deactivation

 Unlock the vehicle using the
unlocking button on the remote

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
Sensors fi tted in each valve check
the tyre pressure during driving and
trigger a warning in the event of
malfunction (speed above 12 mph
(20 km/h)).
Flat tyre The tyre under-infl ation detection
system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the vigilance or
responsibility of the driver. Puncture
The service warning lamp
comes on in the instru-
ment panel, accompanied
by an audible signal and
a message on the multi-
function screen locating
the wheel concerned.
Check the tyre pressures as soon as
possible. This check must be carried
out when the tyres are cold. The
STOP warning lamp
comes on in the instru-
ment panel, accompanied
by an audible signal and
a message on the multi-
function screen locating
the wheel concerned.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.
Change the damaged wheel (punc-
tured or very defl ated tyre), and
have the tyre pressure checked as
soon as possible.
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
The service warning
lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, ac-
companied by an audible
signal and a message on
the multifunction screen
locating the wheel or wheels which
are not detected or indicating a fault
in the system.
Have the faulty sensor(s) checked
by a CITROËN dealer. All repairs and changing of tyres
on a wheel fi tted with this system
must be carried out by a CITROËN
dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you in-
stall a wheel which is not detected
by your vehicle (example: fi tting
of snow tyres), you must have the
system reinitialised by a CITROËN
dealer.
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pres-
sure checked regularly (refer to the
"Technical data - § Identifi cation
markings" section) to ensure that
the optimum dynamic performance
of the vehicle is maintained and
prevent premature wear of the
tyres, particularly in arduous driv-
ing conditions (heavy load, high
speed).
The tyre pressures must be
checked cold, at least once a
month. Remember to check the
pressure of the spare wheel.
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to radio-electric
emissions on a frequency close to
that used by the system.
This message is also displayed
when one of the wheels is away
from the vehicle (being repaired) or
when one or more wheels without a
sensor are fi tted.
The spare wheel is not fi tted with a
sensor.

Displays on the instrument panel
- The selector position is displayed in the instrument panel, on the
left on multifunction screens A
and C and on the right on the
NaviDrive multifunction screen.
- A background-lit position grille as- sociated with the selector allows
you to view the position selected. Moving off

When the ignition is on, lighting of
the service warning lamp, accom-
panied by an audible signal and
the message "Gearbox faulty" in-
dicates a malfunction.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
For safety:

 Position N can only be disen-
gaged if you are pressing the
brake pedal.

 If the gearbox is in position N
but the selector position is differ-
ent, reposition the selector on N
in order to be able to start.
 To start the engine, the selector
must be in position N .

 Press fi rmly on the brake pedal.

 Operate the starter.

 When the engine is running,
place the selector on R , A or M
as desired.

 Check, in the instrument panel,
the position engaged.

 Release the brake pedal and ac-
celerate.
If the selector is not in position N ,
and/or if the brake pedal is not
pressed, the corresponding warning
lamp(s) are displayed and a mes-
sage informs you that at least one of
these two conditions is not met.
In this case, the engine will not start,
recommence the above procedure.
Engaging reverse gear
To engage reverse gear, move the
selector to R .

Only attempt to select reverse gear
when the vehicle is stationary.
If the vehicle is moving rapidly, if an in-
advertent attempt to engage reverse
gear is made, the warning lamp N will
fl ash and your vehicle will go auto-
matically into neutral. To re-engage a
gear, you have only to reposition the
selector on A , M or R .

Override of the programmed
speed
The accelerator pedal is equipped
with an end-of-travel switch. If you
action this switch by pressing the
pedal hard down, you can exceed
the memorised maximum speed at
any time.
During the time the speed is be-
ing exceeded, the displayed speed
fl ashes.
You have only to release the ac-
celerator pedal to return below the
maximum speed and render the
function active again.
If during the operation of the speed
limiter, the system is unable to keep
within the maximum speed (for exam-
ple on a steep descent or under heavy
acceleration) then the speed fl ashes.
Adapt your speed as necessary.
The function will re-engage when
your speed returns below the de-
sired maximum speed. Return to normal driving

 By moving the control 1 from po-
sition "LIM" to position 0 .

 By the engine stopping.
The speed previously chosen is still
memorised.
Operating fault
If there is a speed limiter malfunc-
tion, a message will display accom-
panied by an audible signal and
lighting of the service warning lamp.
Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer.
On a steep downhill gradient or on
sharp acceleration, the speed limiter
will not be able to prevent the vehi-
cle from exceeding the programmed
speed.
Use of fl oor mats that are not ap-
proved by CITROËN may hinder
access to the accelerator pedal and
thus interfere with the functioning of
the speed limiter.
To avoid any risk of interfering with
the pedals:
- check that the fl oor mat is cor- rectly positioned,
- never use more than one fl oor mat.
