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

The doors can still be opened from the
inside.
Protection against attack
The indicator light on the control:
- flashes if the accesses are
locked when stationary with the
engine off,
- comes on if the accesses are
locked and from the time the
ignition is switched on.
The system automatically locks
all of the doors when you reach
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
Activation/deactivation of the function
With the ignition on, a long
press on this button activates or
deactivates the function.
Opening warning light
If this warning light comes on,
check that the cab doors and
the rear or side doors are closed
correctly.
SLIDING SIDE DOOR
If fitted on your vehicle, do not open
the left-hand
side door while filling with
fuel as you risk damaging the fuel filler flap.
You can lock this door using the child lock.
Take care not to block the guide space on
the floor to allow the door to slide correctly.
24
Access
From the outside
Pull the handle towards you then towards
the rear. With the ignition on, press
this button, the diode is lit
accompanied by a message on
the display.
This system is independent of the central
locking control.
From the inside
To unlock and open, push the handle
towards the rear. Ensure that the door
opens fully to lock the device at the base
of the door.
Locking/electric child lock
This prevents opening of the side doors
from the inside.
Good practice
Do not drive with the sliding side door open.
Always remove the key from the ignition
when leaving the vehicle, even for a short
time.
Each time you switch on the ignition, check
whether the child lock is active (diode lit).
In the event of a serious impact, the electric
child lock is deactivated automatically.
Operation in the event of a battery
failure
Front and side passenger doors
In the event of a malfunction of the battery
or of the central locking, use the lock to lock
the doors mechanically.
- To open the door and get out of the
vehicle, pull the interior control.
- To lock the door, insert the key in the
lock, located on the edge of the door,
then turn it one eighth of a turn
.
Driver's door
- Insert the key in the lock, then turn it to
the right to lock or to the left to unlock.

Gearboxes and steering wheel
Manual mode
Manual sequential gear changing.
- Select gear lever position M
,
- push the gear lever towards the + sign
to change up, from 1 through to 6,
- conversely, push the gear lever towards
the - sign to change down.
In manual mode, it is only possible to
change from one gear to another if the
vehicle speed and engine speed permit.
If they do not, the vehicle will operate
temporarily in automatic mode.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox automatically
selects first gear. You can change from position D
(automatic mode) to position M
(manual
mode) at any time.
Good practice
Never select position N
when the vehicle is
moving.
Never select positions P
or R
unless the
vehicle is stationary.
Never change between positions to optimise
braking on a slippery surface.
There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
- if you press the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time,
- if you force the gear lever from
position P
to another position in the
event of a battery failure.
When the engine is at idle, brakes not
applied, if position R
, D
or M
is selected the
vehicle moves even without the accelerator
being pressed.
For this reason, do not leave children
unsupervised inside the vehicle, with the
engine running
.
Operating fault
Any operating fault is indicated by an
audible signal, accompanied by the
message "Automatic gear fault"
in the
screen.
In this situation the gearbox operates in
downgrade mode (locked in 3rd gear). You
may feel a substantial knock when changing
from P
to R
and from N
to R
(this will not
cause any damage to the gearbox).
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), keeping
within the limit of local speed restrictions.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.

Seat belts
SAFETY
4
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt against the body of the
occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is switched on.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device
which automatically locks the strap in the
event of a collision or emergency braking or
if the vehicle rolls over.
You can unfasten the seat belt by pressing
the red button on the buckle. Guide the seat
belt after unfastening.
The airbag warning lamp comes on if the
pretensioners are triggered. Contact a
CITROËN or a qualified workshop.
Recommendations for children:
- use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one metre fifty,
- never allow a child to travel on your lap,
even with the seat belt fastened.
FRONT SEAT BELTS
REAR SEAT BELTS
If your vehicle is fitted with an individual seat
and a 2-seat bench, the 3 seats are fitted
with three-point seat belts and inertia reels.
The centre seat has its seat belt guide and
inertia reel integrated with the seat back. For further information regarding child
seats, refer to the "Children on board"
section of chapter 4.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, your CITROËN dealer
guarantees all work or any checks, from
testing to maintenance, on your seat belt
equipment.
Have the seat belts checked regularly (even
after a minor impact) by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop: they must not show
any signs of wear, cutting or fraying and they
must not be transformed or modified.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product, sold
by CITROËN dealers.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
- restrain one person only,
- must not be twisted, check by pulling in
front of you with an even movement,
- be tightened as close to the body as
possible.
The upper part of the seat belt should be
positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.
The lap part should be placed as low as
possible on the pelvis.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as they
will not fulfil their role completely. If the
seats are fitted with armrests, the lap part
of the seat belt should always pass under
the armrest.
Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap firmly.
The front seats are fitted with pretensioners
and force limiters.
Without front airbag
If your vehicle is fitted with a front bench
without front airbag, the centre passenger's
seat belt does not have a pretensioner.
In rows 2 and 3, take care to fasten the
correct seat belt in the correct buckle. Do
not invert the seat belt or the buckle of the
side seats with the buckle or the seat belt of
the centre seat.
