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.

Stop & Start
Operation
- with a manual gearbox, at speeds below 
12 mph (20 km/h) with BlueHDi Diesel 
versions, when you put the gear lever into 
neutral and release the clutch pedal,
-  with an automatic gearbox, vehicle 
stationary, when you press the brake pedal 
or place the gear lever in position N .
Going into engine STOP  
mode
The "ECO"  warning lamp comes on 
in the instrument panel and the engine 
goes into standby automatically: If your vehicle is fitted with the 
system, a time counter calculates 
the sum of the periods in STOP 
mode during a journey. It resets 
itself to zero every time the ignition 
is switched on with the key.
Special cases: STOP mode 
unavailable
In this case, the "ECO"
 warning 
lamp flashes for a few seconds, then 
goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal. STOP mode is not invoked when:
-  the vehicle is on a steep slope (up or 
d ow n),
-  the driver's door is open,
-  the driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-  the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph 
(10 km/h) since the last engine start using 
the key,
-  the electric parking brake is applied or 
being applied,
-  the engine is needed to maintain a 
comfortable temperature in the passenger 
compartment,
-  demisting is active,
-  some special conditions (battery charge, 
engine temperature, braking assistance, 
ambient temperature...) where the engine is 
needed to assure control of a system.
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...).  
The engine restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
STOP mode does not affect the functionality of 
the vehicle, such as braking, power steering, 
for example.Never refuel with the engine in STOP 
mode; you must switch off the ignition 
with the key.
