ECO-DRIVING
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions.
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 shift indicator invites
you to change up; it is displayed in the
instrument panel, follow its instructions.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox,
stay in Drive "D"
or Auto "A"
, according to
the type of gearbox, without pressing the
accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
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.
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.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
use engine braking rather than the
brake pedal, and press the accelerator
progressively. These practices contribute
towards a reduction in fuel consumption and
CO
2 emissions and also helps reduce the
background traffic noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make
use of the system at speeds above 25 mph
(40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well.
As a passenger, if you avoid connecting
your multimedia devices (film, music,
video game...), you will contribute towards
limiting the consumption of electrical
energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before
leaving the vehicle.
Remember to make use of equipment
that can help keep the temperature in the
passenger compartment down (sun roof
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.

Limit the causes of
excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle;
place the heaviest items in the bottom of
the boot, as close as possible to the rear
seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof
rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof
box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres
and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when
cold, referring to the label in the door
aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
- before a long journey,
- at each change of season,
- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres
on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly
(engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) and observe
the schedule of operations recommended
by the manufacturer.
When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any
overflow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle,
it is only after the first 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see
the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.

Central locking
REMOTE CONTROL
ACCESS
Central unlocking
Press this button to unlock your
vehicle, cab and rear doors.
The direction indicators flash
twice and the exterior mirrors
unfold (unless folding was selected using
the interior control, refer to the "Mirrors and
windows" section of chapter 3). Press this button to lock your
vehicle, cab and rear doors.
The direction indicators flash
once and the exterior mirrors fold.
If one of the doors is open or is not closed
correctly, the central locking will not work.
Deadlocking
If your vehicle is fitted with deadlocking,
a second press
on the closed padlock on
the remote control within five seconds after
locking changes the locking to deadlocking.
This is confirmed by fixed lighting of the
direction indicators for approximately
two seconds.
Deadlocking renders the exterior and interior
door opening handles inoperative: do not
leave anyone inside the vehicle when it is
deadlocked.
If deadlocking is activated from inside the
vehicle, it will change to normal locking
when the vehicle is started.
Folding/unfolding the key
Press this button to release the
key from its housing.
To fold the key, press the
chromed button then fold the key
into the housing. If you do not press the
button, the mechanism may be damaged.
Good practice
Take care not to allow the remote control
to come into contact with grease, dust,
rain or a damp environment.
A heavy object attached to the key
(keyring, ...) weighing on the shaft of the key
in the switch, may cause a malfunction.

KEY
This locks and unlocks the doors on the
vehicle, opens and closes the fuel filler cap,
as well as starting and stopping the engine.
REMOTE CONTROL 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.
The metal part of the key must be unfolded
correctly for correct dialogue to take place.
Programming the remote control
Following changing of the remote control battery
or disconnection of the vehicle battery, the
remote control may have to be reprogrammed.
Wait at least one minute before using the
remote control.
Insert the key in the ignition switch with the
buttons (padlocks) of the remote control
facing you. Switch on the ignition.
Press the locking padlock for at least five
seconds within the next ten seconds.
Switch off the ignition.
Wait at least one minute before using the
remote control.
The remote control is now working again.
There is a risk of damage if the
replacement battery does not conform.
Use only identical batteries or batteries
of an equivalent type to those recommended
by CITROËN dealers.
Do not discard the remote control batteries,
they contain metals which are harmful
to the environment.
Deposit them at a CITROËN dealership,
or at any other approved collection point.
Changing the battery
Battery ref.: CR1620/3 volts.
The information "battery flat" is given by
an audible signal, accompanied by a
message on the display.
To replace the battery, unclip the casing
using a coin at the ring.
If the remote control does not work after
the battery has been changed,
re-programme the remote control.
If you lose your keys
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the
vehicle's V5 registration document and
your identification document.
A CITROËN dealer will be able to retrieve
the key code and the transponder code so
that a replacement key can be ordered.

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
LED goes off.
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 LED, 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
LED 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 LED flashes
once a second).

Access
Triggering
The siren sounds, the direction indicators
flash for approximately 30 seconds and the
red LED flashes rapidly.
- To switch it off, insert the key and
switch on the ignition.
When the alarm has been triggered ten
times in succession (when triggered for the
eleventh time) it is deactivated. Repeat the
rules for setting the alarm.
Malfunction
When the ignition is switched on, if the
red LED remains on for ten seconds, this
indicates a fault with the siren connection.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
From the inside
Locking the vehicle without alarm
- Insert the key in the lock on the driver's
door and lock it.
Do not set the alarm when washing your
vehicle.
Failure of the remote control
When the alarm is set but the remote
control does not operate:
- Unlock the doors with the key and open
the door. The alarm is triggered.
- Switch on the ignition in the next ten
seconds. The alarm is disarmed.
Automatic setting of the alarm
Depending on the country in which the
vehicle is sold, the alarm is set automatically
approximately 2 minutes after the last door
is closed.
To prevent triggering of the alarm when a
door is opened, it is imperative to press the
remote control unlocking button again.
Do not make any modifications to
the alarm system as this could cause
faults.
From the outside
Use the remote control to lock/unlock
the vehicle.
Insert the metal part of the key in the lock
on the driver's side if the remote control
does not work.
The first press permits central
locking of the vehicle.
A second press permits central
unlocking of the vehicle.
The control does not work if the vehicle has
been locked using the remote control or the
key, from the outside.
