ENVIRONMENT
With you, CITRoËn acts to protect
the environment.
We invite you to visit the
www.citroen.co.uk website. As the driver, you also can contribute
to protecting the environment by
following certain rules:
-
adopt a preventive style of driving,
without frequent and harsh
acceleration,
-
observe the service intervals;
we recommend that services are
carried out by a CITROËN dealer
,
authorised to collect used batteries
and fluids,
-
in order to preserve the reliability
of the engine and emission control
systems, do not use engine oil
additives.Refer to information on eco-driving at
the end of this section.

ECO-DRIVING
Motoring & Environment

16Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2
emissions.
ECO-DRIVING
Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up
without waiting. During acceleration change up early.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, give preference
to automatic mode and avoid pressing the accelerator
pedal heavily or suddenly.
The gear shift indicator invites you engage the most
suitable gear: as soon as the indication is displayed in the
instrument panel, follow it straight away.
For vehicles fitted with an electronic or automatic gearbox,
this indicator appears only in manual mode.
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.
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
(sunroof and window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic
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.
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 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.
Motoring & Environment

Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest
items in the bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the
rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind
resistance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...).
Use a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your
summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to
the label in the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
before a long journey
,
-
at each change of season,
-
after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or
caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter
,
air filter, passenger compartment filter...) and observe the
schedule of operations recommended in the maintenance
and warranty guide.
With a Blue HDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is
faulty your vehicle becomes polluting; go to a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop without delay to have the
emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to the legal level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of
the nozzle to avoid any overflow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first
1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel
consumption settle down to a consistent average.

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.
Security of use
REMOTE CONTROL
Unlocking Unlocking the load spaceCentral locking
Press this button to lock the
vehicle completely.
The direction indicators flash once.
If one of the doors is open
(transportation of long loads) or is not
closed correctly, the central locking will
not work.
Deadlocking
A second press on the closed
padlock on the remote control within
five seconds after locking changes the
locking to deadlocking.
This is confirmed by fixed lighting
of the direction indicators for
approximately two seconds.
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 using the remote control, it
will change to normal locking when the
vehicle is started.
To unlock the load space only:
Press this control to unlock
the load space, the front
doors alone remain locked. Press this control to lock the
vehicle completely. Press this button to unlock all
of the rear doors.
Press this button once to
unlock the front doors.

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.
REMOTE CONTROLReinitialising 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.
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.
Folding / unfolding the key
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.
T
o 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.
There is a risk of damage if the
replacement battery is not the correct
type. Press this button to release
the key from its housing.
To fold the key, press this
chromed button then fold

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.
ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER
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.
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.When leaving the vehicle, check that
the lamps are off and nothing of value
is visible.
As a safety precaution (with children
on board), remove the key from the
ignition when leaving the vehicle,
even for a short time.
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.
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).
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 of f the ignition and get out of
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 in the
button, flashes once per second.

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.
Incorrect operation
When the ignition is switched on, if the
red LED remains on for ten seconds,
there is a fault in the siren connection.
Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the
system checked.
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.

From the inside
Unlock and open the side door using
this handle, guiding the rearward
sliding to the point of resistance. Pass
this point to hold the door open.
Good practice
Take care not to block the guide space
on the floor to allow the door to slide
correctly.
If your vehicle is parked on a slope,
guide the sliding of the side door. In
fact, the door could open or close more
rapidly due to the slope of the ground
and could cause injury.
For safety and operation reasons, do
not drive with the sliding side door
open.
SLIDING SIDE DOOR
From the outside
Pull the handle towards you then
towards the rear and open the side
door, guiding the rearward sliding to
beyond the point of resistance to hold
it open.
