The exterior perimeter monitoring alone is
activated: the indicator lamp in the button
flashes once per second.
To be taken into account, this deactivation must
be carried out each time the ignition is switched

eactivate the full alarm system by locking
the vehicle using the remote control or the
"Keyless Entry and Starting" system.
The indicator lamp in the button flashes once
per second again.
Triggering of the alarm
This is indicated by the sound of the siren and
flashing of the indicators for thirty seconds.
The volumetric and anti-tilt monitoring functions
remain active until the tenth successive time
the alarm is triggered.
When the vehicle is unlocked using the remote
control or the "
K

eyless Entry and Starting"
system, rapid flashing of the indicator lamp
in the button informs you that the alarm was
triggered during your absence. When the
ignition is switched on, this flashing stops
immediately.

F U nlock the vehicle using the key (integral to
the remote control) in the driver's door lock,
F

activating the alarm
F Lock or deadlock the vehicle using the key (integral to the remote control) in the driver's
door lock.
Malfunction
When the ignition is switched on, fixed
illumination of the button indicator lamp
indicates a fault in the system.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Front seats
For safety reasons, the driver's seat must
only be adjusted when the vehicle is
stationary.
Correct driving position

When the backrest is released, the red
indicator is visible in the release grip
(depending on version).
Returning the backrests to
their original position
First check that the outer seat belts are
lying vertically alongside the backrest
latching rings. Caution, a backrest that has not latched
correctly compromises the safety of
passengers in the event of sudden braking
or an accident.

If the interior temperature is very high
after the vehicle has stood for a long
time in the sunshine, air 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.
Stop & Star t
The heating and air conditioning systems
only work when the engine is running.
Temporarily deactivate the Stop &
Start system to maintain a comfortable
temperature in the passenger
compartment.
For more information on Stop & Star t,
refer to the corresponding section.

Localised Emergency Call
In an emergency, press this
button for more than 2 seconds.
The flashing green LED and
the voice message confirm that
the call has been made to the
"Localised Emergency Call"
service*.
Pressing this button again cancels the
command and the green LED goes off.
The green LED remains on (without flashing)
when communication is established.
It goes off at the end of the call.
"Localised Emergency Call" immediately
locates your vehicle, contacts you in your own
language**, and – if necessary – requests that
relevant emergency services be dispatched**.
In countries where the ser vice is not available,
or when the locating ser vice has been
expressly declined, the call is sent directly
to the emergency ser vices (112) without the
vehicle location.
If an impact is detected by the airbag
control unit, and independently of the
deployment of any airbags, an emergency
call is made automatically.

brand's dealer network, we invite you to
have a dealer check the configuration of
these ser vices and, if desired, modify it to
suit your wishes. In a multilingual country,
configuration is possible in the official
national language of your choice.
For technical reasons and, in particular, to
improve the quality of Telematic ser vices

the right to carry out updates to the
vehicle's on-board telematic system.

(ESC)
Electronic stability control (ESC) comprising
the following systems:
-
a
nti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-

e
mergency braking assistance (EBA),
-

w
heel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction
control,
-

d
ynamic stability control (DSC).
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking and
contributes towards improved control on corners,
in particular on poor or slippery road sur faces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The EBFD manages the braking pressure wheel
by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Traction
Control) optimises traction in order to limit
wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required by
the driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics. It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
