Alarm
This system protects and provides a deterrent
against theft and break-ins.Self-protection function
The system checks for the disconnection
of any of its components.
The alarm is triggered if the battery,
button or siren wiring is disconnected or
damaged.
For all work on the alarm system,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Exterior perimeter
The system checks whether the vehicle is
opened.
The alarm is triggered if anyone tries to open
one of the doors, the tailgate or the bonnet.
Volumetric
The system checks for any variation in the
volume of the passenger compartment.
The alarm is triggered if anyone breaks a
window, enters the passenger compartment or
moves inside the vehicle.If your vehicle is fitted with Programmable
Heating/Ventilation, volumetric monitoring
is not compatible with this system.
For more information on Programmable
Heating/Ventilation , refer to the
corresponding section.

seconds.
Following a command to lock the vehicle
using the remote control or the "
K
eyless Entry
and Starting" system, the exterior perimeter
monitoring is activated after 5 seconds, the
interior volumetric monitoring after 45 seconds.
If an opening element (door, tailgate or side-
hinged doors, bonnet, etc.) is not closed fully
after locking with the "remote control", the
vehicle is not locked but monitoring will be
activated after 45
seconds.

Stopping the vehicle
When immobilising the vehicle, with
the engine running, you must move the
selector to neutral N.
Before doing anything under the bonnet
ensure that the selector is in neutral N and
that the parking brake is applied.
Malfunction
With the ignition on, the flashing of A or
AUTO , accompanied by an audible signal and
a message, indicates a malfunction of the
gearbox.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
You must keep your foot on the brake
pedal while starting the engine.
In all parking situations, you must apply
the parking brake to immobilise the
vehicle.
Before switching off the engine, you can:
-
m
ove to position N to engage neutral,
or
-
l
eave the vehicle in gear; in this case the
vehicle cannot be moved.
In both cases, you must apply the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.). 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.
Going into engine STOP
mode
For your convenience during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available
for a few seconds after coming out of
reverse gear.
The Stop & Start does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering, etc.
A slight delay between the vehicle
stopping and the engine cutting out may
be noticed.
Driving
200
With an electronic gearbox, the Stop & Start
warning lamp on the instrument panel goes off
and the engine restarts automatically when:
-
y
ou release the brake pedal with the gear
selector in position A or M ,
-
y
ou are in position N with the brake pedal
released and you move the gear selector to
position A or M,
-
y
ou engage reverse.
Special cases: START mode
activated automatically
START mode is invoked automatically in
certain temporary conditions (examples:
battery charge, engine temperature, braking
assistance, air conditioning setting) to assure
correct operation of the system and mainly
when:
-
y
ou open the driver's door,
-
y
ou open a sliding side door,
-
y
ou unfasten the driver's seat belt,
-
t
he speed of the vehicle exceeds 16 mph
(25
km/h) or 2 mph (3 km/h) (depending on
the engine) with a manual gearbox,
-
t
he speed of the vehicle exceeds 2 mph
(3
km/h) with an automatic gearbox. In this case, this warning lamp
flashes for a few seconds then
goes off.
Deactivation/Activation
With/audio system
With the touch screen
In the " Driving/Vehicle " menu,
activate/deactivate " Stop & Star t
system". If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately.
This operation is perfectly normal.
To deactivate the system:
F
P

lamp comes on, the system is
deactivated.
To activate the system: F

Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with
the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them
up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.The fluid must comply with the
manufacturer's recommendations and with
the vehicle's engine.
Take care when working under the bonnet,
as certain areas of the engine may be
extremely hot (risk of burns) and the
cooling fan could start at any time (even
with the ignition off).
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health
or indeed very corrosive. Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop and dispose of
it in the containers reser ved for this
purpose.
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles equipped with an
electric gauge, or using the dipstick.
To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a level sur face
with the engine stopped for more than
30
minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two ser vices (or oil changes). CITROËN
recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3,000
miles (5,000 km).
Checking using the dipstick
The location of the dipstick is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.
F
T
ake the dipstick by its coloured grip and
pull it out completely.
F
W
ipe the end of the dipstick using a clean
non-fluffy cloth.
F
R
efit the dipstick and push fully down, then
pull it out again to make the visual check:
the correct level is between marks A and B .
A = MA X
B = MIN
If you find that the level is above the A mark or
below the B mark, do not star t the engine .
-
I
f the level is above the MAX mark (risk of
damage to the engine), contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
-
I
f the level is below the MIN mark, you must
top up the engine oil.
Practical information

Oil grade
Before topping up the oil or changing the oil,
check that the oil is the correct grade for your
engine and conforms to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Topping up the engine oil level
The location of the oil filler cap is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.
F
U
nscrew the oil filler cap to access the filler
opening.
F
A
dd oil in small quantities, avoiding any
spills on engine components (risk of fire).
F
W
ait a few minutes before checking the
level again using the dipstick.
F
A
dd more oil if necessary.
F
A
fter checking the level, carefully refit the oil
filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel is not
valid during the 30
minutes after topping-
up.
Engine oil change
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the inter val for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emissions control system, never use
additives in the engine oil.
Brake fluid level
The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Draining the circuit
Refer to the manufacturer’s service schedule
for details of the inter val for this operation.
Fluid specification
The fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Power steering fluid level
The fluid level should be close to
the "MA X" mark. Verify this, with the
engine cool, by reading the level on
the filler neck.
Coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly.
It is normal to top up the fluid
between two services.
To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a level sur face with
the engine cool.
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top up.
A low coolant level presents a risk of serious
damage to your engine.
When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any
work.
