SERVICE INDICATOR ENGINE OIL WARNING LAMP
LIGHTING DIMMER
The dimmer is active when the sidelamps
are on.
Refer to the list of checks in the
servicing booklet which was given to
you on delivery of the vehicle.
After a few seconds, the screen returns to its
usual functions.
Use these controls to adjust the
brightness of the instrument panel
and the radio panel lighting.
The screen in the instrument panel
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.
Low engine oil pressure
Oil deterioration (1.3 HDi 75 hp engine only) The warning lamp comes on
continuously, accompanied by a
message in the instrument panel screen, when
the system detects that the oil pressure is too low .
The warning lamp flashes,
accompanied by a message in the
instrument panel screen, when the system
detects deterioration of the engine oil. The
flashing of this warning lamp should not be
considered as a fault wit the vehicle, but
rather as an indication to the driver that the
normal use of the vehicle now requires that
the oil be changed.
If the oil is not changed, when a
second level of deterioration is
reached, the emissions warning
lamp comes on in the instrument panel and
the engine speed is restricted to 3 000 rpm.
If the oil is still not changed, when a third
level of deterioration is reached, the engine
speed is restricted to 1 500 rpm, so as to
avoid any damage. To avoid damaging the engine, it is
recommended that the oil be changed
on flashing of the engine oil warning lamp.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so:
park, switch
off the ignition and contact a CITROËN
dealer.

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 lamp 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.
CONFIDENTIAL CARD
This is given to you on delivery of your
vehicle with the duplicate keys.
It contains the identification code necessary
for any work carried out by a CITROËN
dealer on the electronic immobiliser system.
This code is hidden by a film, which should
be removed only if necessary.
Keep your card in a safe place, never inside
the vehicle.
When undertaking a long trip or journey,
however, it is advisable to take it with you
along with your personal papers. 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.

Gearbox and steering wheel Special cases: START invoked
automatically
The START mode is invoked automatically
when:
- the vehicle's is free wheeling on a slope,
- the windscreen wiper is on fast wipe,
- the engine has been stopped for more than 3 minutes with Stop & Start,
- some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a system. Good practice
With a manual gearbox in STOP mode, if
a gear is engaged without fully depressing
the clutch pedal, a warning lamp comes on
or a message is displayed in the instrument
panel asking you to fully depress the clutch
pedal to restart the engine.
With the engine stopped in STOP mode,
if the driver unfasten's their seat belt and
opens a front door, the engine can only
be restarted using the ignition key. This is
indicated by an audible signal, accompanied
by flashing of the service warning lamp and
a message in the instrument panel screen.
If following an automatic restart in START
mode, the driver takes no action on the the
vehicle during the next 3 minutes, the system
s t o p s t h e e n g i n e d e fi n i t i v e l y . T h e e n g i n e c a n
then only be restarted using the key.
Going into engine START mode
The "S" warning lamp goes off and
the engine starts:
- with a manual gearbox , depress the
clutch pedal,
- with an electronic gearbox :

Deactivation
To give precedence to the control
of the temperature in the passenger
compartment, the Stop & Start
system should be deactivated to
allow continuous operation of the air
conditioning. The system is reactivated automatically
at every new start using the key.
At any time, press the "S - OFF" switch to
deactivate the system.
This is confirmed by the switch warning lamp
coming on accompanied by a message in
the instrument panel screen.
If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately. Operating fault Maintenance
In the event of a fault with
the system, the Stop & Start
system is deactivated and the
service warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by a message in the
instrument panel screen.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer.
In the event of an operating fault with STOP
mode, it is possible to restart the engine by
depressing the clutch pedal fully and putting
the gear lever into neutral. Before working under the bonnet, you
must switch off the ignition with the
key to avoid any risk of injury resulting from
automatic operation of START mode.
This system requires a specific battery
with a special specification and technology
(reference numbers available from
CITROËN dealers).
Fitting a battery not listed by
CITROËN introduces the risk of malfunction
of the system.
The Stop & Start system makes use
of advanced technology. Specialist
knowledge is needed for any work on the
system, which can only be assured by
CITROËN dealers.
Reactivation
Press the
"S - OFF" switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the switch warning lamp going off and a
message in the instrument panel screen.
