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.

Starting the engine
Wait until this warning lamp goes off in the
instrument panel then operate the starter
motor by turning the key to position 3
without pressing the accelerator pedal,
until the engine starts. Once the engine is
running, release the key.
With the parking brake applied and the gearbox
in neutral or position N or P:
F depress the clutch pedal fully (manual
gearbox),
or
F press the brake pedal firmly (automatic
gearbox),
F insert the key into the ignition switch; the
system recognises the code,
F unlock the steering column by simultaneously
turning the steering and the key.
F With a petrol engine, operate the starter
motor by turning the key to position 3
without pressing the accelerator pedal,
until the engine starts. Once the engine is
running, release the key. Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion
engines emit toxic exhaust gases,
such as carbon monoxide. Danger of
intoxication and death!
In very severe wintry conditions
(temperatures below -23°C), to ensure
the correct operation and durability of
the mechanical components of your
vehicle, engine and gearbox, it is
necessary to leave the engine running
for 4 minutes before moving off.
In wintry conditions, the warning lamp
can stay on for a longer period. When
the engine is hot, the warning lamp
does not come on.
In certain cases, you may have to apply
more force to the steering (wheels on
full lock, for example). F
With a Diesel engine, turn the key to
position 2 , ignition on, to operate the
engine pre-heating system.
If the engine does not start straight
away, switch off the ignition. Wait a
few moments before operating the
starter motor again. If the engine does
not start after several attempts, do not
keep trying: you risk damaging the
starter motor or the engine. Contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. In temperate conditions, do not leave
the engine at idle to warm up but move
off straight away and drive at moderate
speed.
