As a safety measure (children on
board), never leave the vehicle without
taking the electronic key for the Keyless
Entry and Starting system with you,
even for a short period.
Be aware of the risk of theft when the
electronic key for the Keyless Entry and
Starting system is in one of the defined
zones with the vehicle unlocked.
If one of the doors or the boot is still
open or if the electronic key for the
Keyless Entry and Starting system has
been left inside the vehicle, the central
locking does not take place.
However, the alarm (if fitted) will be fully
activated after about 45 seconds.
In order to preserve the battery in the
electronic key and the vehicle's battery,
the "hands-free" functions are put into
long-term standby after 21 days without
use. To restore these functions, press
one of the remote control buttons or
start the engine with the electronic key
in the reader.
For more information on starting with
Keyless Entr y and Star ting, refer to
the corresponding section.
If the vehicle is unlocked by mistake
and with no action on the doors or boot,
the vehicle will lock again automatically
after about 30 seconds.
If fitted to your vehicle, the alarm will
also be reactivated automatically.
The automatic folding and unfolding
of the door mirrors can be deactivated
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. Accumulations (water, dust, grime,
salt...) on the inner sur face of the door
handle may affect detection.
If cleaning the inner sur face of the door
handle using a cloth does not restore
detection, contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
A sudden splash of water (stream of
water, high pressure jet washer,
…)
may be identified by the system as the
desire to open the vehicle.

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.

Electric passenger seat
Do not use the function if the seat is not
occupied.
Reduce the level of heating as soon as
possible.
Once the seat and passenger
compartment are at a comfortable
temperature, you can switch off the
function; reducing electric current
consumption also reduces fuel
consumption. Prolonged use at the highest setting
is not recommended for those with
sensitive skin.
There is a risk of burns for those that
do not have normal perception of heat
(illness, taking medicines, ...).
There is a risk of overheating the
system if material with insulating
properties is used, such as cushions or
seat covers.
Do not use the system:

i
f wearing damp clothing,
-
i
f child seats are fitted.
To avoid breaking the heating element
in the seat:

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F
T
o obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles
located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well
as the air extractor located in the boot.
F
D
o not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation
of the air conditioning system.
F
O
perate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month
to keep it in per fect working order.
F
E
nsure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly.
W
e recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its
special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the
occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
F
T
o ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
it checked regularly as recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.
F
I
f the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very high, first
ventilate the passenger compartment for
a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge
of water under the vehicle which is
per fectly normal.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the
air conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning
systems only work when the engine is
running.
To maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment, you can
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system.
For more information on Stop & Star t ,
refer to the corresponding section.
