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.

this selectivity of opening between the cab
and the load space, contact a CITROËN
dealer.
REMOTE CONTROL
This is confirmed by fixed lighting of the
direction indicators for approximately
two seconds.
ACCESS
Unlocking the cab
Press this button once to unlock
your vehicle's cab.
The direction indicators flash
twice.
Press this button a second time to unlock
the side door(s) and the rear doors.
This selective function of the accesses is
active when the vehicle is delivered. At your
request, the network can deactivate
Unlocking the load space
Press this button to unlock all of
the rear doors.
This separation of the locking
of the cab and load space is an
operating security feature. It enables you
to prevent access to the part of the vehicle
from which you are absent.
Central locking
Press this button to lock your
vehicle, cab and rear doors.
The direction indicators flash
once.
If one of the front 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. 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.

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).
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.
If your vehicle is fitted with a separation
partition, the interior protection is not active
in the load space.
Locking the vehicle with complete
alarm
Setting the alarm
- Switch off the ignition and get out of the vehicle.
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.
- 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.
Disarming
- Unlock the vehicle with the remote
control or switch on the ignition, the red
LED goes off.
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).
22
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 malfunction with the siren
connection.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
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.
