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.
Depending on version, if the air
conditioning is activated and when the
exterior temperature exceeds 35°C,
the idle engine speed can accelerate
to reach 1,300
rpm according to the air
conditioning requirements.

warning lamp will stay on for a longer
period after switching on the ignition;
wait until it goes off before starting.

conditions
(temperature below

and durability of the mechanical
components of your vehicle (engine
and gearbox), leave the engine
running for 4
minutes before moving
of f.
Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion engines
emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon
monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death! With Petrol engines
, after a cold start,
preheating the catalytic converter can
cause clearly-felt engine vibrations when
stationary, with the engine running, for
anything up to 2 minutes (accelerated idle
speed).
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 in 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
ever place one mat on top of another.
The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with access to
the pedals and hinder the operation of the
cruise control/speed limiter.
The mats approved by CITROËN have two
fixings located below the seat.

Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The remote control contains an electronic chip
which has a special code. When the ignition is
switched on, this code must be recognised in
order for starting to be possible.
A few seconds after switching off the ignition,
this system locks the engine control system,
therefore preventing the engine from being
started in the event of a break-in.In the event of a fault, you are
informed by illumination of this
warning lamp, an audible signal and
a message in the screen.
The vehicle will not start; contact a CITROËN
dealer as soon as possible.
Manual 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
F With your foot on the brake pedal, pull the parking brake lever up gently, press the
release button, then lower the lever fully.
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, place the gear
selector in position P then switch off the
ignition.
Electric parking brake
The system provides, in automatic operation,

Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when
starting on a gradient, the time it takes to
move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
It is only active when:
-
t
he vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
-
c
ertain slope conditions are met,
-
t
he driver’s door is closed.Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If you need to leave the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
manually then ensure that the parking
brake indicator lamp lights up fixed in the
instrument panel.
Malfunction
If the ABS and DSC systems malfunction,
signalled by the illumination of one or both
warning lamps in the instrument panel, then
stability of the vehicle is no longer guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured by the
driver by repeating alternate "pull-release"
actions on the control lever until the vehicle is
immobilised. Uphill

Downhill , with the vehicle stationary and
reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held for a
