ALARM
If fitted on your vehicle, this provides two
types of protection:
- exterior protection: it sounds if a front/rear door or the bonnet is opened.
- interior protection: it sounds if the volume inside the passenger compartment
changes (breaking of a window or a
movement inside the vehicle). Disarming
- Unlock the vehicle with the remote
control or switch on the ignition, the red
diode goes out.
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.
The remote control does not operate while
the key is in the ignition, even if the ignition
is off.
As a safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition
when leaving the vehicle, even for a short
time.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle:
- 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. Locking the vehicle with complete
alarm
Setting the alarm
- Switch off the ignition and get out of the
vehicle.
- Set the alarm within five minutes of getting out of the vehicle, by locking or
deadlocking using the remote control.
The red diode, located on the centre console, flashes once per second. Locking the vehicle with exterior
protection only
If, while you are away from the vehicle, you
wish to leave a window partially open or a
pet inside the vehicle, you should choose
exterior protection only.
- Switch off the ignition.
- In the next ten seconds, press this button, located on the
centre console, until the red
diode is on continuously.
- Get out of the vehicle.
- Within the next five minutes, set the alarm by locking or deadlocking using
the remote control (the red diode flashes
once a second).

LEVELS
To maintain the reliability of engines and
emission control systems, the use of
additives in engine oil is prohibited. Changing the brake fluid
The brake fluid must be changed at
the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4 standards.
The level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the reservoir.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.
These regular maintenance operations
will keep your vehicle in good running
order. Consult the instructions at CITROËN
dealerships or in the servicing booklet
enclosed in the handbook pack.
If you have to remove/refit the engine
style cover, handle it with care to avoid
damaging the fixing clips.
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes.
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick. Dipstick
There are two marks on the
dipstick:
A = maximum
If you fill past this mark,
contact a CITROËN dealer.
B = minimum
Never allow the level to fall
below this mark. Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried out at the
intervals specified and the viscosity grade of
the oil selected must fulfil the requirements
in accordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule. Consult the instructions
at CITROËN dealerships.
Remove the dipstick before filling.
For the 2 litre HDi engine, use the funnel
supplied when filling via the sump opening.
Check the level after filling (never exceed
the max mark).
Screw the cap back onto the sump before
closing the bonnet.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet the
manufacturer's requirements.
Warning lights
Checking by means of the warning
lights on the instrument panel
is described in chapter 2, refer to the
"Instruments and controls" section.
