Anti-theft protection


Electronic engine immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip
which has a special code. When the
ignition is switched on, this code must
be recognised in order for starting to be
possible.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks
the engine management system a few
minutes after the ignition is switched off
and prevents starting of the engine by
anyone who does not have the key.

In the event of a fault, you
are informed by illumina-
tion of this warning lamp,
an audible signal and a message in the
screen.
In this case, your vehicle will not start;
contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as
possible.










Starting the vehicle




Insert the key in the ignition switch.
The system recognises the starting
code.


Turn the key fully towards the dash-
board to position 3 (Starting)
.


When the engine starts, release
the key.



A heavy object (key fob...), attached to the key and weighing down on
its shaft in the ignition switch, could
cause a malfunction.


Switching the vehicle off




Immobilise the vehicle.


Turn the key fully towards you to
position 1 (Stop)
.


Remove the key from the ignition
switch.










Key left in the "Ignition on"
position
On opening the driver's door, an alert
message is displayed, accompa-
nied by an audible signal, to remind
you that the key is still in the ignition
switch at position 1 (Stop)
.
If the key has been left in the ignition
switch at position 2 (Ignition on)
, the
ignition will be switched off automati-
cally after one hour.
To switch the ignition back on, turn
the key to position 1 (Stop)
, then
back to position 2 (Ignition on)
.



Keep safely, away from your
vehicle, the label attached to the
keys given to you on acquisition
of the vehicle.

Lost keys

Go to a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's registration document, your
personal identifi cation documents and if possible the key code label.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to look up the key code and the transponder
code required to order a new key.






Do not throw the remote con-
trol batteries away, they contain
metals which are harmful to the
environment.
Take them to an approved col-
lection point.

Remote control

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
vehicle, without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your remote control out of range and
out of sight of your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it from working and
the remote control would have to be reinitialised.
No remote control can operate when the key is in the ignition switch, even
when the ignition is switched off, except for reinitialisation.


Locking the vehicle

Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compart-
ment by the emergency services more diffi cult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution, never leave children alone in the vehicle, except for
a very short period.
In all cases, it is essential to remove the key from the ignition switch when
leaving the vehicle.


Anti-theft protection

Do not make any modifi cations to the electronic engine immobiliser system;
this could cause malfunctions.


When purchasing a second-hand vehicle

Have the pairing of all of the keys in your possession checked by a
CITROËN dealer, to ensure that only your keys can be used to open and
start the vehicle.

PANORAMIC SUNROOF

Your vehicle is fi tted with a tinted glass
panoramic sunroof which increases
the light and visibility in the passenger
compartment. Its electric blind helps
control the temperature in the passen-
ger compartment.

Electric blind


Opening
Turn the dial to the left (four possible
settings).

Closing
Return the dial to the initial position.
Safety anti-pinch
If the blind encounters an obstacle dur-
ing closing, it stops and partially opens
again.
If the blind fails to close at a second at-
tempt, it may be necessary to force the
closing of the blind using the reinitiali-
sation procedure.
The blind is controlled electrically by a
rotary dial.
In the event of contact during op-
eration of the blind, you must re-
verse its movement. To do this,
turn the dial.
When the driver operates the
dial, they must ensure that noth-
ing prevents the blind from clos-
ing correctly.
The driver must ensure that the
passengers use the blind cor-
rectly.
Be aware of children during
operation of the blind.



Reinitialising the system


Following reconnection of the battery,
or in the event of a malfunction in its
operation, it may be necessary to reini-
tialise the system:



turn the dial to the fully closed posi-
tion,


then immediately press the dial, clos-
ing starts after about 10 seconds,


maintain pressure on the dial until
the blind has fully closed.

The anti-pinch function is inopera-
tive during these operations.


If the position of the blind does not
agree with the position indicated by the
dial, press the dial to open the blind to
this position.

FUEL TANK


Capacity of the tank: approximately
60 litres.


When the low fuel level in the
tank is reached, this warning
lamp comes on in the instru-
ment panel, accompanied by an
audible warning and the display
of an alert message. When it
fi rst comes on, around 6 litres

of fuel remain in the tank.
Until suffi cient fuel has been added,
every time the ignition is switched on,
this warning lamp appears, accompa-
nied by an audible signal and an alert
message. When driving, this audible
signal and the display of this alert mes-
sage are repeated with increasing fre-
quency, as the level drops towards 0
.
You must refuel as soon as possible to
avoid running out.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also
to "Checks".


Low fuel level

Refuelling

Additions of fuel must be of at least
5 litres to be registered by the fuel
gauge.
Opening the fi ller cap may result in an
inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely
normal and results from the sealing of
the fuel system.

If you have put in the wrong
fuel for your vehicle, you must
have
the tank drained and re-
fi lled with the correct fuel be-
fore you start the engine.





Press control A
until the automatic
opening of the fuel fl ap is heard.
This control remains active for a few
minutes after switching off the igni-
tion. If necessary, switch the ignition
on again to reactivate it.

If you are fi lling your tank to the top,
do not persist after the third cut-off;
this could cause your vehicle to mal-
function.


Take care to select the pump that
delivers the correct fuel for your
vehicle.





With Stop & Start, never refuel
with the system in STOP mode;
you must switch off the ignition
with the key.



Introduce the nozzle so as to push
in the metal non-return fl ap B.


Make sure that the nozzle is pushed
in as far as possible before starting
to refuel (risk of blowback).


Maintain this position while refuelling.


Push the fuel fl ap to close it.
