ALARM
If fi tted on your vehicle, this provides
two types of protection:
- exterior protection: it sounds if a
door, the tailgate 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).
A red indicator light, located in the
centre of the fascia, indicates the
information detailed below.
To lock your vehicle without setting the
alarm, insert the key in the lock then
lock the vehicle (e.g. for washing).
When the alarm is triggered, the siren
sounds and the direction indicator lights
fl ash for thirty seconds.
Warning - alarm triggered: the red indicator
light fl ashes rapidly, insert the key and
switch on the ignition to switch it off.
When the alarm has been triggered ten
times in succession (on the eleventh time)
the alarm is deactivated. Repeat the rules
for setting the alarm.
-
Close the sunroofs,
-
Switch off the ignition,
-
In the next ten seconds, press
button A
, located on the left-hand
side of the fascia, until the red
indicator light is on continuously,
-
Get out of the vehicle,
-
Within the next fi ve minutes, set the
alarm by locking or deadlocking using
the remote control (the red indicator
light fl ashes once a second).
Do not make any modifi cations
to the alarm system as this could
cause faults.
Setting the alarm
-
Switch off the ignition and get out of
the vehicle.
-
Set the alarm within fi ve minutes of
getting out of the vehicle, by locking
or deadlocking using the remote
control (the red indicator light
fl ashes once per second).
Disarming
Unlock the vehicle with the remote
control (the red indicator light goes out).
To set the alarm 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.
Incorrect operation
When the ignition is switched on, if the red
indicator light remains on for ten seconds,
there is a fault in the siren connection.
Consult a CITROËN dealer to have the
system checked.
Automatic setting of the alarm
If fi tted on your vehicle, the alarm is set
automatically 2 minutes after the last
door or the tailgate is closed.
To prevent triggering of the alarm when
a door or the tailgate is opened, it is
imperative to press the remote control
unlocking button again. 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.

- press the lever to the +
sign to change to a higher
gear, from 1 to 6,
- conversely, press the lever
to the - sign to change to a
lower gear. You can change from position D
(automatic mode) to position M
(manual mode) at any time.
Stopping the vehicle, starting
the engine
Reverse gear
- Select position R
, with the
vehicle stationary and the
engine at idle.
If the battery is fl at and the lever is
in position P
, it will be impossible
to change to another position.
- Select position P
to
immobilise the vehicle
or
to start the engine
, with
the handbrake on or off.
- You can also select
position N
to park
or to
start the engine
, with the
handbrake on.
If position N
is engaged
inadvertently while driving, allow
the engine to return to idle before
engaging position D
to accelerate.
Manual mode
Manual changing of the gears by
pressing.
- Select lever position M
, 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 gear 1.
The
7 (snow) programme does not
operate in manual mode.

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 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 abnormality
Any operating abnormality is indicated
by an audible signal, accompanied by
the message "Automatic gear fault"
on the display and fl ashing of the Snow
snowfl ake on the instrument panel.
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 as soon as
possible.
You can return to the automatic
programme at any time.
- Press button
7 again to switch off
the programme you are in.
Snow programme
In addition to the automatic
programme, there is a special
Snow programme.
This improves starting
and drive when traction is
poor. The snowfl ake appears on the
instrument panel display.
- Press button
7 once the
vehicle has been started
and position D
selected.
The gearbox adapts to driving
on slippery roads.

STEERING WHEEL HEIGHT AND
REACH ADJUSTMENT
When the vehicle is stationary,
release the steering wheel adjustment
mechanism by lowering the lever.
Adjust the steering wheel for height
and reach, then lock the adjustment
mechanism by pushing the lever fully
upwards.
MANUAL GEARBOX
5-speed gearbox
6-speed gearbox
To change gear easily, always press
the clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedal:
- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,
- never fi t one mat on top of another.
When driving, avoid leaving your hand
on the gear knob as the force exerted,
even if slight, may wear the internal
components of the gearbox over time.
Reverse gear (6-speed)
Raise the collar under the gear knob to
engage reverse gear.
Never engage reverse gear before the
vehicle is completely stationary.
The lever should be moved slowly to
reduce the noise on engaging reverse
gear.

11TRIP COMPUTER
TRIP COMPUTER
Press the MODE button several
times in succession until the tripcomputer is displayed.Ran
ge:displays the distance which can travelled with the remaining
fuel detected in the tank, basd on the average consumption over the
last few miles (kilometres).
This displa
yed value may vary signifi cantly following a change in the
vehicle speed or the relief of the route.
When the range
falls below 20 miles (30 km), dashes are displayed.
After fi lling with at least 10 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and
is displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
If, whilst driving, dashes are displayed continuously in place of the digits, contact a CITROËN dealer.g
Each press of the button at the end of the wiper stalk displays the
different trip computer information in succession, according to the screen.
A FEW DEFINITIONS
- The "vehicle" tab:
The ran
ge, the current fuelconsumption and the distance remaining.
- The "1"
(trip 1) tab with:
The average speed, the average fuel consumption and the distance travelled calculatedover route "1".
- The "2"
(trip 2) tab with the same
functions for a second route. Current fuel consum
ption: only calculated and displayed above
20 mph (30 km/h).
Avera
ge fuel consumption: this is the average fuel consumptionsince the last trip computer zero reset.
Distance travelled: calculated since the last tri
p computer zero
reset.
Distance remaining to the destination:calculated with reference
to the fi nal destination, entered by the user. If guidance is activated,
the navigation system calculates it as a current value.
Average speed: this is the average speed calculated since the last
trip computer zero reset (ignition on).
