When the engine is
running, this indicates the
temperature of the coolant.
Range
When the engine is
running, this indicates
the distance which can
still be travelled with the
fuel remaining in the tank
based on the average
fuel consumption over the
last few miles/kilometres
travelled. This value may vary following a change
in the style of driving or the relief,
resulting in a large variation in the
current fuel consumption.
If you only add a few litres, the value
displayed will be incorrect. Therefore,
you must fill the tank whenever
possible.
Coolant temperature
gauge
If the bar is close to the critical
position located
on the right, the temperature is too high.
The symbol flashes when your engine is
overheating.
You must stop your vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.
Wait a few minutes before switching off the
engine. When the range is less than 30 miles (50 km)
,
dashes are displayed.
Refuel as soon as possible. The display of the
range is updated.
Wait for the engine to cool before
topping up the level. The cooling system
is pressurised.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the
pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap and top up the level,
if
necessary.
Contact a CITR
oËn

dealer or a
qualified workshop. When you disconnect the battery,
the previous fuel consumption data
is lost and the value displayed will be
different from that displayed before the
battery was disconnected. The distance
displayed must be considered an
approximate indication.

Lost electronic key
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's registration document and your personal identification documents and if possible the key code label.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to retrieve the key code and the transponder code required to order a new key.
Electronic key
The electronic key 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 electronic key 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.
The electronic key cannot operate as a remote control when it is in the reader or even when the ignition is switched on.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment by the emergency services more difficult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on board), take the Keyless Entry and Starting electronic key when you leave the vehicle, even for a short
time.
Electrical interference
The Keyless Entry and Starting electronic key may not operate if close to certain electronic devices: telephone, laptop computer, strong
magnetic fields, ...
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system; this could cause malfunctions.
Don't forget to turn the steering to engage the steering lock.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have all of the keys in your possession paired by a CITROËN dealer, to ensure that only your keys allow your vehicle to be unlocked and
started.

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F
T
o obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles
located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well
as the air extractor located in the boot.
F

D
o not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation
of the air conditioning system.
F

O
perate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month
to keep it in per fect working order.
F

E
nsure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly.
W

e recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its
special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the
occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
F

T
o ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
it checked regularly as recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.
F

I
f the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very high, first
ventilate the passenger compartment for
a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge
of water under the vehicle which is
per fectly normal.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the
air conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.
