MULTIFUNCTION SCREENS
A few definitions…
When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km),
dashes are displayed. After fi lling with at
least 5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated
and is displayed when it exceeds 60 miles
(100 km).
If dashes are displayed continu-
ously while driving in place of
the digits, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop. This function is only displayed
from 20 mph (30 km/h).
This value may vary following a
change in the style of driving or
the relief, resulting in a signifi -
cant change in the current fuel
consumption.
Range
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
which can still be travelled
with the fuel remaining in the tank in
relation to the average fuel consump-
tion over the last few miles (kilometres)
travelled.
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel con-
sumption during the last few
seconds.
Average fuel
consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel
consumption since the last
trip computer zero reset.
Distance travelled
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
travelled since the last trip
computer zero reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
This is the average speed
calculated since the last trip
computer zero reset (igni-
tion on).
Distance remaining to
destination
(miles or km)
This is the distance remaining
to be travelled to the fi nal destination.
It is either calculated instantly by the
navigation system, if guidance is acti-
vated, or entered by the user.
If the distance is not entered, dashes
are displayed in place of the digits.
Stop & Start time counter
(minutes/seconds or hours/
minutes)
If your vehicle is fi tted with Stop & Start,
a time counter calculates the time spent
in STOP mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition
is switched on with the key.

COMFORT
When the engine is cold, to pre-
vent too great a distribution of
cold air, the air fl ow will reach its
optimum level gradually.
In cold weather, it favours the
distribution of warm air to the
windscreen, side windows and
footwells only. On entering the vehicle, if the in-
terior temperature is much colder
or warmer than the comfort value,
there is no need to change the
value displayed in order to obtain
the comfort required. The system
corrects the difference in tempera-
ture automatically and as quickly
as possible.
The air conditioning only operates when
the engine is running. The driver and front passenger
can each adjust the tempera-
ture to their requirements.
)
Turn control 2
or 3
to the left or to
the right respectively to decrease or
increase this value.
A setting around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However, depending
on your requirements, a setting between
18 and 24 is normal.
You are advised to avoid a left/right set-
ting difference of more than 3.
4. Automatic visibility programme
The automatic comfort pro-
gramme may not be suffi cient
to quickly demist or defrost the
windscreen and side windows
(humidity, several passengers,
ice, etc.).
)
In this case, select the automatic
visibility programme.
The system automatically controls the
air conditioning, the air fl ow and the air
intake and provides optimum distribu-
tion of the ventilation to the windscreen
and side windows.
Automatic operation
)
Press the "AUTO"
button.
The indicator lamp in the
button comes on.
2. Driver's side adjustment
DUAL-ZONE DIGITAL AIR
CONDITIONING
We recommend the use of this mode:
it permits automatic and optimised ad-
justment of all of the functions, passen-
ger compartment temperature, air fl ow,
air distribution and air recirculation, in
accordance with the comfort value that
you have chosen.
This system is designed to operate ef-
fectively in all seasons, with the windows
closed. The value indicated on the display cor-
responds to a level of comfort and not
to a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.
)
To switch it off, press the "visibility"
button again or press the "AUTO"
button, the indicator lamp in the but-
ton goes off and the indicator lamp
in the "AUTO"
button comes on.

ACCESS
Locating your vehicle
)
Press the closed padlock to locate
your locked vehicle in a car park.
This is indicated by lighting of the cour-
tesy lamps and fl ashing of the direction
indicators for a few seconds.
Electronic engine immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip
which has a special code. When the
ignition is switched on, this code must
be recognised in order for starting to be
possible.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks
the engine management system a few
minutes after the ignition is switched off
and prevents starting of the engine by
anyone who does not have the key.
In the event of a fault, you
are informed by illumination
of this warning lamp, an au-
dible signal and a message
in the screen.
In this case, your vehicle will not start;
contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as
possible.
Keep safely the label attached to the
keys given to you on acquisition of the
vehicle.

ACCESS
Lost keys
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's registration document, your
personal identifi cation documents and if possible the key code label.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to fi nd the key code and the transponder
code required to order a new key.
Do not throw the remote con-
trol batteries away, they contain
metals which are harmful to the
environment.
Take them to an approved col-
lection point.
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
vehicle, 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 switch,
even when the ignition is switched off, except for reinitialisation.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compart-
ment by the emergency services more diffi cult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on board), remove the key from the
ignition switch 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 pairing of all of the keys in your possession checked by a
CITROËN dealer, to ensure that only your keys can be used to open and
start the vehicle.

ACCESS
Additions of fuel must be of at
least 5 litres to be registered by
the fuel gauge.
The key cannot be removed
from the lock until the cap is re-
fi tted.
Opening the fi ller cap may create
a noise caused by an inrush of
air. This vacuum is entirely nor-
mal and results from the sealing
of the fuel system.
FUEL TANK
Fuel tank capacity: approximately
50 litres (petrol) or 48 litres (Diesel);
(Depending on version: approxi-
mately 30 litres (petrol or Diesel)).
Low fuel levelFillin
g
A label affi xed to the inside of the fl ap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be
used depending on your engine.
When the low fuel level is
reached this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel. When it fi rst comes on
there remains approximately
5 litres
of fuel in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to
avoid running out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also
to the "Checks" section. To fi ll the tank safely:
)
the engine must be switched off,

to the left,
)
remove the cap and hook it onto
the clip located on the inside of the
fl ap,
)
fi ll the tank, but do not continue
after the 3rd cut-off of the pump
;
this could cause malfunctions.

DRIVING
STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - STOP mode -
during stops in the traffi c (red lights, traf-
fi c jams, or other...). The engine restarts
automatically - START mode - as soon as
you want to move off. The restart takes
place instantly, quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise
level when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and
the engine goes into standby:
- with the 6-speed electronic gear-
box system
, at speeds below 5 mph
(8 km/h), when you press the brake
pedal or put the gear lever in position N
.
For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such
as for example, braking, power
steering...
A time counter calculates the sum of the periods in STOP
mode during a journey. It
rests itself to zero every
time the ignition is switched
on with the key.
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:
- the driver's door is open,
- the driver's seat belt is not fas-
tened,
- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last engine start
using the key,
- the engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the pas-
senger compartment,
- demisting is active,
- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature, brak-
ing assistance, ambient tempera-
ture...) where the engine is needed
to assure control of a system.
The "ECO"
warning lamp fl ashes
for a few seconds then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
