Never drive with the parking brake applied   -   Risk   of   overheating   and  
d

amage   to   the   braking   system!
Do
  not   park   or   run   the   engine   when  
s

tationary   in   areas   where   inflammable  
s

ubstances   and   materials   (dry   grass,  
d

ead   leaves...)   might   come   into   contact  
w

ith   the   hot   exhaust   system   -   Risk   of  
f

ire!
Never
  leave   a   vehicle   unsupervised  
w

ith   the   engine   running.   If   you   have  
t

o   leave   your   vehicle   with   the   engine  
r

unning,   apply   the   parking   brake  
a

nd   put   the   gearbox   into   neutral   or  
p

osition

N or P,
  depending   on   the   type  
o

f   gearbox.
Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain vigilant   whatever   the   traffic   conditions.
Pay
  close   attention   to   the   traffic   and   keep   your  
h

ands   on   the   wheel   so   that   you   are   ready   to  
r

eact   at   any   time   to   any   eventuality.
On
  a   long   journey,   a   break   every   two   hours   is  
s

trongly
 re
commended.
In
  difficult   weather,   drive   smoothly,   anticipate  
t

he   need   to   brake   and   increase   the   distance  
f

rom   other   vehicles. If
  you   are   obliged   to   drive   through   water:
-  
c
heck   that   the   depth   of   water   does   not  
e

xceed   15   cm,   taking   account   of   waves  
t

hat   might   be   generated   by   other   users,
-
 
d
eactivate   the   Stop   &   Start   system,
-
 
d
rive   as   slowly   as   possible   without  
s

talling.   In   all   cases,   do   not   exceed   6   mph  
(

10 km/h),
-
 
d
o   not   stop   and   do   not   switch   off   the  
e

ngine.
On
  leaving   the   flooded   road,   as   soon   as  
c

ircumstances   allow,   make   several   light   brake  
a

pplications   to   dry   the   brake   discs   and   pads.
If
  in   doubt   on   the   state   of   your   vehicle,   contact  
a

  CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.Important!
Driving on flooded
roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded r
oads,   as   this   could   cause   serious   damage  
t

o   the   engine   or   gearbox,   as   well   as   to   the  
e

lectrical   systems   of   your   vehicle.

In certain cases, you may have to apply more   force   to   the   steering   (wheels   on  
f

ull   lock,   for   example).
Starting the engine
F With  a   petrol   engine,   operate   the   starter  m
otor   by   turning   the   key   to   position   3
without
  pressing   the   accelerator   pedal,  
u

ntil   the   engine   starts.   Once   the   engine   is  
r

unning,   release   the   key. F
 
W
ith   a   Diesel   engine,   turn   the   key   to

With   the   parking   brake   applied   and   the   gearbox  
i

n neutral or position N or P
:
F  
d
epress   the   clutch   pedal   fully   (manual  
g

earbox),


or
F  
p
ress   the   brake   pedal   firmly   (electronic   or  
a

utomatic   gearbox),
F  
i
nsert   the   key   into   the   ignition   switch;   the  
s

ystem   recognises   the   code,
F  
u
nlock   the   steering   column   by  
s

imultaneously   turning   the   steering   and  
t

he key.
Wait until this warning lamp goes off in the i
nstrument   panel   then   operate   the   starter m

otor   by   turning   the   key   to   position 3
without
  pressing   the   accelerator   pedal,
 u

ntil   the   engine   starts.   Once   the   engine   is
 r

unning,   release   the   key.
If the engine does not start straight away,   switch   off   the   ignition.   Wait   a  
f

ew   moments   before   operating   the  
s

tarter   motor   again.   If   the   engine   does  
n

ot   start   after   several   attempts,   do   not  
k

eep   trying:   you   risk   damaging   the  
s

tarter   motor   or   the   engine.   Contact  
a

  CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop.
In
  wintry   conditions,   the   warning   lamp  
c

an   stay   on   for   a   longer   period.   When  
t

he   engine   is   hot,   the   warning   lamp  
d

oes   not   come   on. Never   leave   the   engine   running   in  
a

n   enclosed   area   without   adequate  
v

entilation:
 in
ternal
 c
ombustion
 e

ngines   emit   toxic   exhaust   gases,  
s

uch   as   carbon   monoxide.   Danger   of  
i

ntoxication   and   death.
In   very   severe   wintry   conditions  
(

temperatures   below   -23°C),   to   ensure  
t

he   correct   operation   and   durability   of  
t

he   mechanical   components   of   your  
v

ehicle,   engine   and   gearbox,   it   is  n
ecessary   to   leave   the   engine   running  f
or   4   minutes   before   moving   off.
In
  temperate   conditions,   do   not   leave  
t

he   engine   at   idle   to   warm   up   but   move  
o

ff   straight   away   and   drive   at   moderate  
s

peed.

Speed limiter
System which prevents the vehicle from exceeding   the   speed   programmed   by   the   driver.
When
  the   programmed   speed   limit   is   reached,  
p

ressing   the   accelerator   pedal   in   the   normal  
m

anner   no   longer   has   any   effect.
The
  speed   limiter   is   switched on  
m
anually:
 i

t   requires   a   programmed   speed   of   at   least  
2

0 mph   (30   km/h).
The
  speed   limiter   is   switched off   by   manual  
o

peration   of   the   control.
The
  programmed   speed   can   be   exceeded  
t

emporarily   by   pressing   the   accelerator   firmly.
To
  return   to   the   programmed   speed,   simply  
s

low   down   to   a   speed   below   the   programmed  
s

peed. The
  speed   limiter   cannot,   in   any
 c

ircumstances,   replace   the   need   to
 r

espect   speed   limits,   nor   can   it   replace   the
