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.In the event of a fault, you are
informed by illumination 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-switching off the engine
Keep safely, away from your vehicle,
the label attached to the keys given to
you on acquisition of the vehicle.
Ignition switch
It has 3 positions:
- position 1 (Stop) : insert and removing
the key,
- position 2 (Ignition on) : steering column
unlocked, ignition on, Diesel preheating,
engine running,
- position 3 (Starting) .
Ignition on position
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric
equipment or portable devices to be charged.
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the
key or the remote control, which would
weigh down on its blade in the ignition
switch and could cause a malfunction.
It could adversely affect the deployment
of the front airbag.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a few moments
after the ignition is switched off and prevents
starting of the engine by anyone who does not
have the key.
Once the state of charge of the battery drops
to the reserve level, the system switches to
energy economy mode: the power supply is
cut off automatically to preserve the remaining
battery charge.

Maximum application
If necessary, you can make a maximum
application of the parking brake. It is obtained
by means of a long pull on control lever A,
until you see the message " Max application
of the parking brake " and an audible signal
is heard.
Maximum application is essential:
- in the case of a vehicle towing a caravan
or a trailer, if the automatic functions are
activated but you are applying the parking
brake manually,
- when the effective gradient you are parked
on is variable (e.g. on a ferry, in a lorry,
during towing).
Particular situations
In certain situations (starting the engine...), the
parking brake can automatically alter its level of
application. This is normal operation.
To advance your vehicle a few centimetres
without starting the engine, but with the ignition
on, press on the brake pedal and release the
parking brake by pushing then releasing
control lever A .
The full release of the parking brake is
confirmed by the warning lamp P in the control
lever and the warning lamp in the instrument
panel going off and the display of a message
" Parking brake released" in the instrument
panel screen.
To ensure correct operation of the parking
brake and therefore your safety, the number of
successive application/release operations is
limited to eight.
If this number is exceeded, you are warned by
the message " Parking brake faulty " and a
warning lamp flashes. In the event of a battery failure, it will
not be possible to operate the electric
parking brake.
As a safety measure if the parking
brake is not applied, immobilise the
vehicle by engaging a gear or by
placing a chock against one of the
wheels.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Please note...
- in the case of towing, a loaded vehicle or
parking on a gradient, turn the front wheels
towards the pavement and engage a gear
when you park.
- after a maximum application, the release
time will be longer.
