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!

If you have added the wrong fuel, you
must have the tank drained and refilled
with the correct fuel before you star t
the engine.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level in the
tank is reached, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message.
Fuel cut- of f
Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that
cuts off the supply of fuel in the event of an
impact.
Diesel misfuel prevention
Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank
of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It helps avoid the
risk of engine damage that can result from filling
with the wrong fuel.
It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill the
t a n k s l ow l y.
In order to ensure a good flow of fuel,
do not place the nozzle of the fuel can in
direct contact with the flap of the misfuel
prevention device. Driving abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may make
refuelling impossible.
Not all Diesel vehicles are fitted with
misfuel protection, so before travelling
abroad, we recommend that you check
with the CITROËN dealer network,
whether your vehicle is suitable for the
fuel pumps in the country in which you
intend to travel.
When it first comes on, less than 6
litres of
fuel remain in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains
improve traction as well as the
behaviour of the vehicle when
braking.
Snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force in
your country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed.
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
into contact with the flap. The system remains
closed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention
device appears when the filler cap is removed.
