Unlocking/Complete or
selective unlocking
What is the purpose of
complete or selective
unlocking?
Complete unlocking unlocks all the vehicle’s
doors (front, side and rear).
Selective unlocking unlocks either the cab
doors, or the doors of the loading area (side
and rear).
Advice
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is a
sensitive system
; do not operate it while
it is in your pocket as there is a possibility
that it may unlock the vehicle, without you
being aware of it.
Do not press the remote control buttons
when out of range of the vehicle: risk of
making it inoperable. It would then be
necessary to reinitialise it.
The remote control does not operate when
the key is in the ignition switch, even when
the ignition is switched off.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make modifications to the
electronic engine immobiliser system
; this
could cause malfunctions.
For vehicles with a key ignition switch,
do not forget to remove the key and turn
the steering wheel to engage the steering
lock. Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked could make
it more difficult for the emergency ser vices
to enter the vehicle in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition
or take the electronic key with you when
leaving the vehicle, even for a short time.
Purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the key codes memorised by a
CITROËN dealer, to ensure that the
received keys are the only ones which can
start the vehicle.
Accumulations (water, dust, grime, salt,
etc.) on the inner sur face of the door
handle may affect detection.
If cleaning the inner sur face of the door
handle using a cloth does not restore
detection, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
A sudden splash of water (stream of water,
high pressure jet washer, etc.) may be
identified by the system as the desire to
open the vehicle.

Triggering of the alarm
This is indicated by sounding of the siren
and flashing of the direction indicators for 30
seconds.
The monitoring functions remain active until
the alarm has been triggered ten times in
succession.
When the vehicle is unlocked, rapid flashing of
the indicator lamp in the button indicates that
the alarm was triggered during your absence.
When the ignition is switched on, this flashing
stops immediately.
Locking the vehicle
with exterior perimeter
monitoring only
Deactivate the interior volumetric monitoring
to avoid unwanted triggering of the alarm in
certain cases such as:
-
l
eaving a pet in the vehicle,
-
l
eaving a window partially open,
-
w
ashing your vehicle,
-
c
hanging a wheel,
-
h
aving your vehicle towed,
-
t
ransport by ship.If the vehicle automatically locks itself
again (as happens if a door or the boot
is not opened within 30 seconds of
unlocking), the monitoring system is
automatically reactivated.
Deactivating the interior
volumetric monitoring
F Switch off the ignition and within 10
seconds
press the alarm button until the indicator
lamp is on fixed.

Only the exterior perimeter monitoring is
activated
; the red indicator lamp in the button
flashes every second.
To take effect, this deactivation must be
carried out after each time the ignition is
switched off.
Reactivating the interior
volumetric monitoring
F Deactivate the exterior perimeter monitoring by unlocking the vehicle using the remote
control or the "Keyless Entry and Starting"
system.
F
R
eactivate the alarm system normally.
Locking the vehicle without

F
U
pon switching on the ignition the alarm
stops. The button indicator lamp goes off.
Operating fault
When the ignition is switched on, fixed
illumination of the indicator lamp in the button
indicates a fault with the system.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Automatic activation
(Depending on country of sale)
The system is activated automatically 2
minutes
after the last door or the boot is closed.
F

Correct driving position
Before taking to the road and to make the most
of the ergonomic layout of the instruments and
controls, carry out these adjustments in the
following order:
-
t
he height of the head restraint,
-
t
he seat backrest angle,
-
t
he seat cushion height,
-
t
he longitudinal position of the seat,
-
t
he height and reach of the steering wheel,
-
t
he rear view mirror and door mirrors.
Once these adjustments have been made,
check the instrument panel can be viewed
correctly from your driving position.
Manually-adjusted front
seats
For more information on the Seat belts ,
refer to the corresponding section.
Longitudinal
F Raise the control bar and slide the seat forwards or backwards.
Before moving the seat backwards,
ensure that there is nothing that might
prevent the full travel of the seat.
There is a risk of trapping or pinching
passengers if present in the rear seats
or jamming the seat if large objects are
placed on the floor behind the seat.
Height
F Pull the control upwards to raise the seat or push it downwards to lower it until the
desired position is obtained.
Backrest angle
F Depending on equipment, turn the knob or pull the control fully up and tilt the backrest
forward or backward to adjust it.

F W ith the engine running, use the adjustment
wheel to switch on and select the desired
level of heating from 0
(off) to 3 (h i g h).Prolonged use of the heated seats 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.).
To keep the heated pad intact and to
prevent a short circuit:
-
d
o not place sharp or heavy objects on
the seat,
-
d
o not kneel or stand on the seat,
-
d
o not spill liquids onto the seat,
-
n
ever use the heating function if the
seat is wet.
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, stop the function ; reducing
the consumption of electrical current
reduces fuel consumption.

Recommendations on
loading
The weight of the load must comply with
the Gross Train Weight (GTW).
For more information on Engine
technical data and towed loads, refer to
the corresponding section.
If you are using a carrying system (roof
bars/roof rack), comply with the maximum
loads associated with this system.
For more information on Roof bars/Roof
rack , refer to the corresponding section.
Make sure that the size, shape and
volume of the loads carried are compatible
with the highway code and safety
regulations and do not impair the driver’s
field of vision.
Steel or glass partitions separate the loading
area from the cab.
The load must be evenly distributed in the
loading area so as not to inter fere with
driving the vehicle.
Place the load close to the side panels,
or even push it against the side panels
between the wheel arches.
However, it is recommended that heavy
objects are placed as close to the cab as
possible as a precaution in case of sharp
braking.
Firmly secure all parts of the load using
the stowing rings on the floor of the
loading area.
For more information on the Interior
fittings
and in particular on the stowing
rings, refer to the corresponding section. To avoid the risk of injury or accident, the
load must be made stable so that it cannot
slide, tip over, fall or be thrown. To do this,
use only retaining straps that conform to
current standards (DIN for example).
For more information on putting straps
in place, refer to the manufacturer’s user
guide.
There must not be any empty space
between the components of the load.
To prevent the load sliding, there must not
be any empty space between the load and
the panels of the vehicle.
As well as the straps, optimise the stability
of the load with stable handling equipment
(wedges, rigid blocks of wood or padding).
When washing your vehicle, never clean
the inside directly using a water jet.

conditioning system
F
E
nsure that the cabin filter is in good
condition and have the filter elements
replaced regularly.
It is recommend to use a combined
passenger compartment filter. Thanks to
its special active additive, it contributes
to the purification of the air breathed by
the occupants and the cleanliness of the
passenger compartment (reduction of
allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy
deposits).
F
T
o ensure correct operation of the air
conditioning system, have it checked
according to the recommendations in
the Maintenance and Warranty Guide. Stop & Star t
The heating and air conditioning systems
