KEY
This locks and unlocks the doors on the
vehicle, opens and closes the fuel filler cap,
as well as starting and stopping the engine.
REMOTE CONTROL ELECTRONIC IMMOBILI
SER
All of the keys contain an electronic
immobiliser device.
This device locks the engine supply system.
It is activated automatically when the key is
removed from the ignition.
After the ignition is switched on, a dialogue
is established between the key and the
electronic immobiliser system.
The metal part of the key must be unfolded
correctly for correct dialogue to take place.
Reinitialising the remote control
Following changing of the remote control
battery or disconnection of the vehicle battery,
the remote control may have to be reinitialised.
Wait at least one minute before using the
remote control.
Insert the key in the ignition switch with the buttons
(padlocks) of the remote control facing you. Switch on the ignition.
Press the locking padlock for at least five
seconds within the next ten seconds.
Switch off the ignition.
Wait at least one minute before using the
remote control.
The remote control is now working again.
There is a risk of damage if the replacement
battery is not the correct type.
Use only identical batteries or batteries of an
equivalent type to those recommended by
CITROËN dealers.
Do not discard the remote control batteries,
they contain metals which are harmful to the
environment.
Deposit them at a CITROËN dealership, or
at an authorised collection point.
Changing the battery
Battery ref.: CR1620 / 3 volts.
The "battery flat" information is given by an
audible signal, accompanied by a message
in the screen.
To replace the battery, unclip the casing
using a coin at the ring.
If the remote control does not work after the
battery has been changed, reinitialise the
remote control.
If you lose your keys
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the
vehicle's V5 registration document and your
identification document.
A CITROËN dealer will be able to retrieve
the key code and the transponder code so
that a replacement key can be ordered.

CHECKS
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
Unless there is a leak in the system, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For any information on checking the brake
disc / drum wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the servicing schedule.
Carbon filter and passenger
compartment filter
The carbon fi lter permits continuous and effective
fi ltering of dust.
If the passenger compartment fi lter becomes
clogged, this may reduce the performance of the
air conditioning system and generate unpleasant
odours.
We recommend the use of a combined passenger
compartment fi lter. By means of its second special
active fi lter, it contributes to the purifi cation of the
air breathed by the occupants and the cleanness
of the passenger compartment (reduction of
allergic symptoms, unpleasant odours and greasy
deposits).
Refer to the servicing and warranty booklet to fi nd
out the replacement interval for these components.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle (urban
driving...), change them twice as often if necessary.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
This filter actively contributes
to the preservation of air quality
by trapping unburnt polluting
particles. It is controlled
completely and automatically by the engine
management system.
This warning lamp comes on if there is a risk
of blockage of the filter.
This alert signals the start of saturation of
the particle emissions filter (exceptionally
prolonged driving in urban conditions:
reduced speed, traffic jams…).
If this alert persists, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
On acceleration after the vehicle has been
running for a prolonged period at very low
speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional
circumstances, notice the emission of water
vapour at the exhaust. This water vapour
does not have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment.
To regenerate the filter, it is recommended
that as soon as driving conditions permit,
you drive at a speed of at least 36 mph
(60 km/h) for at least 5 minutes (until the
warning lamp goes off and/or the message
disappears). Refer to "Under the bonnet" in section 6.
