The indicator lamp does not come on

conditions, it is advised to follow the
recommendations below:
-
I
n temperate conditions, do not leave
the engine at idle to warm up but move
off straight away and drive at moderate
speed.
-
I
n wintry conditions, the pre-heater
warning lamp will stay on for a longer
period after switching on the ignition;
wait until it goes out before starting.
-
In very severe wintry conditions
(temperature below -23°C), to ensure
the correct operation and durability of
the mechanical components of your
vehicle (engine and gearbox), leave
the engine running for 4
minutes
before moving off.
Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion engines
emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon
monoxide. Risk of poisoning and death. If the engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition.
Wait a few seconds before restarting the
engine. If the engine does not start after
several attempts, do not keep trying: you
risk damaging the starter motor or the
engine.
Call a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
-
o
nly use mats which are suited to the
fixings already present in the vehicle;
these fixings must be used,
-
n

The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with access to
the pedals and hinder the operation of the

Anti-theft protection
Electronic engine immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic chip which has
a secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a few minutes
after the ignition is switched off, and prevents
starting of the engine by anyone who does not
have the key.
In the event of a malfunction, you are informed
by a message in the instrument panel screen.
If this happens, your vehicle will not start;
contact a CITROËN dealer if required.For reasons of safety and theft protection,
do not leave your electronic key in the
vehicle, even when you are close to it.
It is recommended that you keep it on your
person.
Parking brake
Application
F With your foot on the brake pedal, pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise your
vehicle.
Release on level ground
When the vehicle is being driven, this
warning lamp coming on, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message,
indicates that the parking brake is still
applied or has not been fully released.
When parking on a slope, or on a steep
slope with a laden vehicle, turn the wheels
against the kerb then apply the parking
brake.
Pressing the brake pedal facilitates the
application and release of the manual
parking brake.
With a manual gearbox, engage a gear
then switch off the ignition.
With an automatic gearbox, put the gear
selector into P then switch off the ignition.
With an electronic gearbox, put the gear
selector into position A then switch off the
ignition.
F
