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.

Do not flick the accelerator at the
moment of switching off the ignition.
This could cause serious damage to the
turbocharger(s).
Vehicles equipped with a
turbocharger
Never stop the engine without having allowed it
to run for a few seconds at idle, this being the
time required for the turbocharger to return to a
normal speed.Energy economy mode
After switching off the engine (position 1- Stop),

Never switch off the ignition before the
vehicle is at a complete stop. With the
engine off, the braking and steering
assistance systems are also cut off: risk
of loss of control of the vehicle. For more information, refer to the
"Practical information" section, under
"Energy economy mode".
F Check that the parking brake is correctly
applied, particularly on sloping ground.

Mechanical device for immobilising the vehicle when stationary.This warning lamp comes on if the
parking brake is engaged or not fully
released.
If the parking brake is released, the
illumination of this warning lamp along with

brake fluid level is low or a fault with the brake
force distributor.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Application

The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of the
tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.The alert is maintained until the tyre or
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or a
steel rim) does not have a sensor.
Under-inflation alert
The aler t is given by the fixed illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal, and depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres,
the symbol or the message appears, according
to equipment, to identify it.
F
Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering
movements or harsh brake applications.
F Stop as soon as it is safe to do so. F
If you have a compressor (the one in the
temporary puncture repair kit for example),
check the four tyre pressures when cold.
If it is not possible to check the tyre
pressures at the time, drive carefully at
reduced speed.
or
F In the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (according to equipment).
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of the under-inflation
warning lamp accompanied by
the illumination of the service warning lamp
indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.
This alert is also displayed when one or more
wheels is not fitted with a sensor (for example,
a space-saver or steel spare wheel).
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked
or, following the repair of a puncture, to
have the original wheel, equipped with a
sensor, refitted.
Any tyre repair or replacement on a
wheel fitted with this system must be
carried out by a CITR oËn dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If after changing a tyre, a wheel is not
detected by your vehicle (fitting snow
tyres for example), you must have the
system reinitialised by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
