ENSURE THE SAFETY OF PASSENGERS

ECO-DRIVING
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2emissions.
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 sys-
tem, 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 gear selector, without pressing
the accelerator pedal heavily or
suddenly.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between
vehicles, use engine braking
rather than the brake pedal, and
press the accelerator progres-
sively. These attitudes contribute
towards a reduction in fuel con-
sumption and CO
2 emissions and
also helps reduce the background
traffi c noise.
When the traffi c is fl owing well,
and if you have cruise control,
make use of the system at speeds
above 25 mph (40 km/h).
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
(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 defrost-
ing 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
consumption of electrical energy,
and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices
before leaving the vehicle.

REMOTE CONTROL
Note:The simultaneous use of other high frequency equipment (mobile telephones, domestic
alarms, etc.) may momentar-ily hinder the operation of the remote control.

CENTRAL UNLOCKING
A press on button A unlocks your vehicle.
This operation is confi rmed b
y the rapid fl ashing of the direction indicators
and the lighting of the interior lamp (if the function is activated). It can alsodeploy the exterior rear view mirrors.
CENTRAL LOCKING - CLOSING OF WINDOWS AND SUN
ROOF - DEADLOCKINGA short presson buttonB locks your vehicle.
Along presson buttonB locks your vehicle and closes the windows and the sun roof.Two successive presses on button Bdeadlocks the vehicle. It is then
impossible to open the doors from either inside or outside the vehicle.
This operation is confi rmed b
y the direction indicators illuminating for approx.
2 seconds and by the interior lamp switching off. This also folds the exterior
rear view mirrors.
If any of the doors, or the boot, is open or not properly closed, the centrallocking does not operate.
•
•
•
If closing the windows and sun roof using the remote control,the user must make sure that no person is preventing thewindows and/or sun roof from closing properly.
It is dangerous to operate the deadlocking when a personis in the vehicle as unlocking is impossible from the inside(without the remote control).

KEYS
It is dangerous to operate the deadlocking when a person is in the vehicle as unlocking is impossible from the inside (without the remote control).
The key number is on the label attached to the key.
Should you lose your key or remote control, a CITROËN dealer can supply replacements.
If you unlock your vehicle using the key because of a problem with the battery, be aware that opening/closing a door with the window closed can seriously damage the glass, even to the point of breaking it. See "Access".
ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER KEY
The key operates all the vehicle’slocks as well as the ignition.Note: For safety reasons, a buzzer will sound if you have switched off the ignition and opened the driver’s
door without having removed the
ignition key.
The ke
y can be used to deactivate
the front passenger’s airbag. See"Airbags".
CENTRAL LOCKING USING THE KEY
A brief action with the key locks the vehicle.
Deadlocking: Central locking using the key
A second action straightaway with the key deadlocks the vehicle. It is then
impossible to open the doors from either inside or outside the vehicle.Note:With the vehicle stationary and the engine switched off, locking is sig-nalled by the fl ashing of the interior locking control warning lamp.
If any of the doors, or the boot, is open or not properly closed, the cen-tral locking does not operate.
ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER
The ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER device locks the engine supply system.
The s
ystem activates automatically as the key is removed from the ignition.
All the vehicle
’s keys contain an electronic immobiliser device.
A
fter you switch on the ignition, a dialogue starts between the key and theelectronic immobiliser device.
If the ke
y is not recognised, you cannot start the vehicle.
If this occurs, leave your vehicle immobilised and contact a CITROËNdealer.
