ECO-DRIVING
  Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emis-
sions. 
   
Optimise the use of your 
gearbox 
   
With a manual gearbox, move off 
gently, change up without waiting 
and drive by changing up quite soon. 
If your vehicle has the system, the 
gear effi ciency indicator invites you to 
change up; it is displayed in the instru-
ment panel, follow its instructions.  
   
With an automatic or electronic gear-
box, stay in Drive  "D" 
 or Auto  "A" 
, 
according to the type of gearbox, 
without pressing the accelerator pedal 
heavily or suddenly.  
 
 
 
Drive smoothly 
 
 
Maintain a safe distance between ve-
hicles, use engine braking rather than 
the brake pedal, and press the accel-
erator progressively. These practices 
contribute towards a reduction in fuel 
consumption and CO
2 emissions and 
also helps reduce the background 
traffi c noise.  
   
If your vehicle has cruise control, 
make use of the system at speeds 
above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the 
traffi c is fl owing well.  
 
 
 
Control the use of your 
electrical equipment 
   
Before moving off, if the passenger 
compartment is too warm, ventilate it 
by opening the windows and air vents 
before using the air conditioning. 
  Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the 
windows and leave the air vents 
open. 
  Remember to make use of equipment 
that can help keep the temperature 
in the passenger compartment down 
(sunroof and window blinds...). 
  Switch off the air conditioning, unless it 
has automatic digital regulation, as soon 
as the desired temperature is attained. 
  Switch off the demisting and defrosting 
controls, if not automatic. 
  Switch off the heated seat as soon as 
possible.  
   
Switch off the headlamps and front 
foglamps when the level of light does 
not require their use.     Avoid running the engine before moving 
off, particularly in winter; your vehicle will 
warm up much faster while driving.  
   
As a passenger, if you avoid con-
necting your multimedia devices 
(fi lm, music, video game...), you will 
contribute towards limiting the con-
sumption of electrical energy, and so 
of fuel. 
  Disconnect your portable devices be-
fore leaving the vehicle.

45SEATS-
   
 
 
 
 
The driver must ensure that 
the passengers use the seat 
belts correctly and that they 
are all properly restrained 
before setting off. 
  Wherever you are seated in the ve-
hicle, always fasten your seat belt, 
even for short journeys. 
  Do not invert the seat belt buckles as 
they will not fulfi l their role fully. 
  If the seats have armrests * , the lap 
part of the seat belt must always 
pass under the armrest. 
  The seat belts are fi tted with an in-
ertia reel permitting automatic adjust-
ment of the length of the strap to your 
size. The seat belt is stored automa-
tically when not in use. 
  Before and after use, ensure that the 
seat belt is reeled in correctly. 
  The lower part of the strap must be 
positioned as low as possible on the 
pelvis. 
  The upper part must be positioned in 
the hollow of the shoulder. 
  The inertia reels are fi tted with an auto-
matic locking device which comes into 
operation in the event of a collision, 
on emergency braking or if the vehicle 
rolls over. You can release the device 
by pulling rapidly on the strap and re-
leasing it.  
   In order to be effective, a seat belt: 
   
 
-   must be tightened as close to the 
body as possible, 
   
-   must restrain one adult only, 
   
-   must not bear any trace of cuts or 
fraying, 
   
-   must be pulled in front of you with 
a smooth movement, checking 
that it does not twist, 
   
-   must not be transformed or modifi ed 
to avoid altering its performance.  
  In accordance with current safety 
regulations, all repairs and checks 
must be carried out by a CITROËN 
dealer who guarantees that the work 
is carried out correctly. 
  Have your seat belts checked regularly 
by a CITROËN dealer and particularly 
if the straps show signs of damage. 
  Clean the seat belt straps with soapy 
water or a textile cleaning product, 
sold by CITROËN dealers. 
   
*  
 According to model.      
Recommendations for children: 
   
 
-   use a suitable child seat if the pas-
senger is less than 12 years old or 
shorter than one metre fi fty, 
   
-   do not use the strap-guide *  when 
a child seat is installed. 
   
-   never use the same seat belt to 
secure more than one person, 
   
-   never allow a child to travel on 
your lap.  
   
Depending on the nature and serious-
ness of the impacts 
, the pre-tensioning 
device may be triggered before and in-
dependently of the airbags. Triggering of 
the pre-tensioners is accompanied by a 
slight emission of harmless smoke and 
a noise, due to the activation of the py-
rotechnic cartridge incorporated in the 
system. 
  In all cases, the airbag warning lamp 
comes on. 
  Following an impact, have the seat 
belts system checked, and if neces-
sary replaced, by a CITROËN dealer.  
 
  After folding or moving a 
seat or rear bench seat, 
ensure that the seat belt is 
positioned and rolled up correctly.

  ELECTRONIC ENGINE
IMMOBILISER 
  This locks the engine control sys-
tem as soon as the ignition has been 
switched off and therefore prevents 
starting of the vehicle by anyone who 
does not have the key. 
  The ignition key has an electronic 
chip which has a special code. When 
the ignition is switched on, the code 
must be recognised for the vehicle to 
start. 
   
If the system does not function 
correctly, 
 the central locking button 
indicator light, situated in the centre 
of the fascia, fl ashes rapidly when the 
ignition is switched on (2nd notch), 
accompanied by an audible signal 
and a message on the display. 
  In this case your vehicle will not start. 
  Contact a CITROËN dealer as soon 
as possible. 
   
 
 
 
 
 
Key in ignition 
 
A buzzer sounds on opening the driv-
er's door, if the key has been left in 
the ignition.    Make a careful note of the 
number of each key. This 
number is coded on the label 
attached to the key. 
  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. 
  The remote control does not operate 
when the key is in the ignition, even 
when the ignition is switched off, 
except for reprogramming. 
  Do not operate the deadlocking function 
if there is anyone inside 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. 
  Do not repeatedly press the buttons 
of your remote control out of range of 
your vehicle. 
  You run the risk of stopping it from 
working and the remote control would 
have to be reprogrammed. 
  When purchasing a second-hand ve-
hicle, 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 make any modifi cations to the 
electronic engine immobiliser system.     
If the keys are lost 
  Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehi-
cle's V5 registration certifi  cate and your 
personal identifi cation documents. 
  The CITROËN network will be able to 
retrieve the key code and the trans-
ponder code to order a replacement 
key.  
 
   
A heavy object (key fob...), attached 
to the key and weighing down on 
its shaft in the ignition switch, could 
cause a malfunction.

THE ALARM SYSTEM *  
 
The alarm offers two types of protection: 
 
 
 
-   exterior protection: 
 the alarm 
sounds if  a door, the boot or the 
bonnet is opened 
; 
   
-   interior protection: 
 the alarm 
sounds if there is a variation in 
the  volume inside the vehicle 
(breaking of a window or move-
ment inside the vehicle) 
.  
 
   
Setting the alarm 
  Switch the ignition off and get out of 
the vehicle. 
  Activate the alarm within fi ve minutes 
following your exit from the vehicle, 
by locking using the remote control 
key (the red indicator lamp in the 
switch  1 
, which can be seen from the 
outside, fl ashes once a second).    
Warning 
  If, on setting the alarm, a door, the 
boot or the bonnet are not closed 
correctly, the siren sounds for a mo-
ment. 
  Close the vehicle correctly to set the 
alarm. 
  If the interior protection alarm is trig-
gered ten times in succession, it is 
disarmed automatically. It must be 
set again in order for it to operate 
correctly.     When the alarm is triggered, the 
siren sounds and the direction indi-
cators fl ash for thirty seconds. 
  After it has been triggered, the alarm 
becomes operational again. 
   
Note: 
 if you wish to lock your vehicle 
without setting the alarm, lock it us-
ing the key in the door lock.  
   
Disarming the alarm 
  Unlock the vehicle using the remote 
control key (the red indicator lam in 
the switch  1 
 goes off). 
   
Note: 
 if the warning light fl ashes, it is 
a sign that the alarm has been trig-
gered in your absence. 
  To stop it, switch on the ignition.    
Note: 
 when the alarm is set, but the 
remote control no longer works: 
   
 
 ) 
  unlock the doors using the key 
and open the door; the alarm is 
triggered; 
   
 ) 
  switch the ignition on within ten 
seconds; the alarm is disarmed.  
 
   
To set the alarm 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 
need to select exterior protection only: 
   
 
● 
  Switch off the ignition. 
   
● 
  Press the button  2 
 until the lamp   1 
 
comes on continuously.

  Get out of the vehicle. 
   
● 
  Press the locking button of the re-
mote control. 
   
● 
  The doors lock. 
   
● 
  The red lamp in the switch fl ash-
es once a second.  
 
 
 
 
Operating fault 
 
When the ignition is switched on, fi xed 
illumination of the red indicator lamp, 
located in the centre of the dashboard, 
indicates an anomaly with the siren. 
  Contact a CITROËN dealer to have 
the system checked. 
  Do not make any modifi ca-
tions to the alarm system, this 
could cause malfunctions.
