Range
(miles or km)
The distance which can still be 
travelled with the fuel remaining in 
the tank (related to the average fuel 
consumption over the last few miles 
(kilometres) travelled).
This value may vary following a change 
in the style of driving or the relief, 
resulting in a significant change in the 
current fuel consumption.
When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km), 
dashes are displayed. After filling with at least 
5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is 
displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km). If dashes are displayed continuously 
while driving in place of the digits, 
contact a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop. This function is only displayed from 
20
  mph (30 km/h).
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated over the last few seconds.
Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated since the last trip reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
Calculated since the last trip reset.
Distance travelled
(miles or km)
Calculated since the last trip reset.
Stop & Star t time counter
(minutes / seconds or hours / 
minutes)
A time counter calculates the time spent in 
STOP mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is 
switched on.

Lost electronic key
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's registration certificate, your personal identification documents and if possible the key code label.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to retrieve the key code and the transponder code required to order a new key.
Electronic key
The electronic key is a sensitive system; do not operate it while it is in your pocket as there is a possibility that it may unlock the vehicle, without 
you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your electronic key out of range and out of sight of your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it from 
working and the remote control would have to be reinitialised.
The electronic key cannot operate as a remote control when it is in the reader or even when the ignition is switched on.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment by the emergency services more difficult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on board), take the electronic key with you when you leave the vehicle, even for a short time.
Electrical interference
The electronic key may not operate if close to certain electronic devices: telephone, laptop computer, strong magnetic fields, ...
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system; this could cause malfunctions.
Don't forget to turn the wheel to lock the steering column.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have all of the keys in your possession paired by a CITROËN dealer, to ensure that only your keys allow your vehicle to be unlocked 
and  started.

Memorising an  
opening position
Where height is restricted (garage with a low 
ceiling, ...) it is possible to limit and memorise 
the opening angle of the motorised tailgate.
This memorisation is done as follows:
-
 
o
 pen the tailgate to the desired position,
-
 
p
 ress button   C or the exterior control B for 
more than 3 seconds.
Memorisation of the maximum opening position 
of the tailgate is confirmed by an audible signal.
To cancel the memorised position:
-
 
s
 top the tailgate in an intermediate 
position,
-
 
p
 ress button   C or the exterior control B for 
more than 3 seconds.
Cancellation of the memorised position is 
confirmed by an audible signal.
Manual operation
The motorised tailgate can be opened and 
closed manually, even if motorised operation is 
activated.
However, any manual intervention must be 
done with the tailgate stopped.
Repeated opening and closing of the 
tailgate can cause overheating of its 
electric motor, after which opening and 
closing will not be possible.
Allow 10 minutes for the motor to cool 
down before operating the tailgate 
again.
If you are not able to wait, operate it 
manually.
Detection of obstacles
Should an obstacle (person or object) be 
encountered, the anti-pinch system interrupts 
the closing movement and raises the tailgate a 
few centimetres to clear the obstacle. When opening and closing a motorised tailgate 
manually, there is no assistance from gas-filled 
struts. Resistance to opening and closing is 
therefore entirely normal.
