Key
Conventional key
The key allows the central locking or unlocking
of the vehicle using the door lock.
It also allows the fuel filler cap to be removed
and refitted and the engine to be started or
switched off.
Remote control key
It allows the central locking or unlocking of the
vehicle using the door lock or from a distance.
It also allows the vehicle to be located, the fuel
filler cap to be removed and refitted and the
engine to be started or switched off, as well as
providing protection against theft.The remote control buttons are not active
when the ignition is switched on.
Unfolding/folding the key
If you do not press the button, you risk
damaging the remote control.
Keyless Entry and Starting
F Press this button to unfold or fold the key. It is also used to locate and start the vehicle, as
well as providing protection against theft.
Keyless Entry and Starting on
your person
This allows the unlocking, locking and starting
of the vehicle while keeping the remote control
on your person.
This allows the central locking or unlocking of
the vehicle from a distance. In the ignition on (accessories) position,
with the "START/STOP" button, the
hands-free function is deactivated and it is
impossible to open the doors.
For more information on Starting/
switching off the engine and in
particular the "ignition on" position, refer to

Do not use the function when the seat is
not occupied.
Reduce the intensity of the heating as
soon as possible.
When the seat and passenger
compartment have reached an adequate
temperature, you can stop the function;
reducing the consumption of electrical
current reduces fuel consumption.Prolonged use at the highest setting is
not recommended for those with sensitive
skin.
There is a risk of burns for people whose
perception of heat is impaired (illness,
taking medication, etc.).
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:
-
d
o not place heavy objects on the seat,
-
d
o not kneel or stand on the seat,
-
d
o not place sharp objects on the seat,
-
d

The indicator lamp in the remote control
flashes for about 2 seconds if the vehicle
has not received the signal.
You should then move to a different
location and repeat the command.
Changing the battery
If the indicator lamp in the remote control becomes
orange, the state of charge of the battery is low.
If the indicator lamp is not on, the battery is
discharged.
F Use a coin to unscrew the cap and replace the battery.
The maximum heating period is about
45
minutes depending on the climatic
conditions. The additional heating system is powered
by the fuel in the vehicle's fuel tank.
Before use, ensure that there is enough
fuel in the tank.
If the tank level is on reser ve, the system
cannot be used.
The ventilation is activated provided that
the battery is sufficiently charged.
The heating is activated provided that:
-
t
he battery is sufficiently charged,
-
t
he fuel level is adequate,
-
t
he engine has been started since the
previous heating cycle. To avoid the risks of poisoning or
asphyxia, the programmable heating must
not be used, even for short periods, in a
closed environment such as a garage or
workshop which is not equipped with an
exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on a flammable
sur face (dry grass, dead leaves, paper,
etc.) – risk of fire!
Do not throw remote control batteries
away as they contain metals which are
harmful to the environment. Take them
to an approved collection point.
Always switch off the additional heating
while refuelling – risk of fire or explosion! Glazed sur faces such as the rear screen
or windscreen can become very hot in
places.
Never put objects on these sur faces;
never touch these sur faces – risk of burns!

Standard (ESC)
This mode is calibrated for a low
level of wheel spin, based on the
different levels of grip normally
encountered on the road.
Every time the ignition is switched off, the
system automatically resets to this mode.
Snow
This mode adapts its strategy to
the conditions of grip encountered
for each of the two front wheels on
moving off.
(mode active up to 50
mph
(80
km/h))
All terrain (mud, damp grass,
etc.)
This mode, when moving off, allows
considerable spin on the wheel with
the least grip to optimise clearing
of the mud and to regain grip. At
the same time, the wheel with the
most grip is controlled in such a
way as to transmit as much torque
as possible. When moving, the system optimises wheel spin
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully
as possible.
(mode active up to 31
mph (50 km/h))
Sand
This mode allows little spin on the
two driving wheels at the same time
to allow the vehicle to move for ward
and limit the risks of getting stuck in
the sand.
(mode active up to 75
mph
(120
km/h))
Do not use the other modes on sand as
the vehicle may become stuck.
You can deactivate the ASR
and DSC systems by turning
the knob to the " OFF" position. Recommendations
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to
occasionally drive on other less passable
terrain.
However, it does not permit off-road
driving such as:
-
c rossing and driving on terrain which
could damage the underbody or strip
away components (fuel pipe, fuel
cooler, etc.) due to obstacles or stones
in particular,
-
d
riving on terrain with steep gradients
and poor grip,
-
c
rossing a stream.
The ASR and DSC systems will no
longeract on the engine operation or
the brakes in the event of an involuntary
change of trajectory.
These systems are reactivated
automatically from 31
mph (50 km/h) or
every time the ignition is switched on.
Hill Assist Descent
Control
System that provides assistance when
descending on loose or soft sur faces (gravel,
mud, etc.) or a steep gradient.
This system reduces the risk of slip or loss
of control of the vehicle when descending,
whether going forward or in reverse.
During a descent, it assists the driver in
maintaining a constant speed, depending
on the gear engaged, while progressively
releasing the brakes.
Safety
135
In all circumstances, ensure that the
selector is in position P before leaving
your vehicle.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen to indicate a
gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3
rd gear. You may feel
a substantial knock when changing from P
to R and from N to R. This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 62
mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
-
i
f you press the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time (braking or
acceleration must be done only with
the right foot),
-
i
f you force the selector from position P
to another position when the battery is
flat. To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffic jam, etc.), position
the selector on N and apply the parking
brake.
Gear efficiency indicator
(Depending on engine.)
This system reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one or more gears. You can
follow this indication without engaging the
intermediate gears.
Gear shift recommendations must not be
considered as compulsory. In fact, the road
layout, the traffic density and safety remain the
deciding factors when choosing the best gear.
The driver therefore remains responsible for
deciding whether or not to follow the indications
issued by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated. With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual operation.
The information appears in the
instrument panel, in the form of an
ascending or descending arrow and
the recommended gear.
The system adapts its gear shift
recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the
driver’s requirements (power, acceleration,
b r a k i n g , e t c .) .
The system never suggests:
-
e
ngaging first gear,
- enga ging reverse.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
t emporarily 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.
