Lost keys

Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehi-
cle's V5 registration document and your

personal identiﬁ cation documents.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to
retrieve the key code and the trans-
ponder code required to order a re-
placement key.

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 vehi-
cle, without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons
of  your  remote  control  out  of  range
and out of sight of your vehicle. You
run the risk of stopping it from work-
ing  and  the  remote  control  would
have to be reinitialised.
The remote control does not operate
when the key is in the ignition, even
when the ignition is switched off, ex-
cept for reinitialisation.

Locking the vehicle

Driving with the doors locked may
make access to the passenger com-
partment by the emergency services

more difﬁ cult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children
on board), remove the key from the
ignition when you leave the vehicle,
even for a short time.

Anti-theft protection

Do not make any modiﬁ cations to the

electronic engine immobiliser sys-
tem; this could cause malfunctions.

When purchasing a second-
hand vehicle

Have the key codes memorised by a
CITROËN dealer, to ensure that the
keys in your possession are the only
ones which can start the vehicle.

Do not throw the remote
control batteries away, they
contain metals which are
harmful to the environment.

Take them to an approved collection
point.

STARTING

1. "S": Steering lock

To unlock the steering, gently move
the steering wheel while turning the
key, without forcing it.

2. "M": Drive position

Depending  on  the  version  of  your
vehicle,  the  orange  and  red  warning
lamps should also come on for a short
time.

3. "D": Starter

Release the key as soon the engine
has started.
If the ﬁ rst attempt fails, switch off the

ignition. Wait ten seconds then operate
the starter again.

Steering lock

1. " S": After removing the key, turn

the steering wheel to lock the
steering. The key can only be re-
moved in position S .

2. "M": Ignition switched on, the

steering  is  unlocked  (by  turning
the  key  to  position   M ,  move  the
steering  wheel  gently  if  neces-
sary).

3. "D": Starter position.

Key left in position "M" buzzer

If you forget to remove the key from
the  ignition,  the  ignition  is  switched
off automatically after one hour.
To  switch  the  ignition  back  on,  turn
the  key  to  position   S   then  back  to
position  M .

Do not run the engine in an en-
closed space or where there is

insufﬁ cient ventilation  .
  It is essential always to keep the
engine running in order to retain
braking  and  steering    power    as-
sistance .
  Never  remove  the  ignition  key
before the vehicle has come to a
complete stop.

STOPPING

Vehicles equipped with a
turbocharger

Never stop the engine without having
allowed  it  to  run  for  a  few  seconds
at  idle,  this  being  the  time  required
for  the  turbocharger  to  return  to  a
normal speed.
Flicking  the  accelerator  at  the  mo-
ment  of  switching  off  the  ignition
could cause serious damage.

  A heavy object (key fob...), attached
to  the  key  and  weighing  down  on
its shaft in the ignition switch, could
cause a malfunction.

Never turn the key to this position
when the engine is running.

ALARM

System which protects and provides
a deterrent against the theft of your
vehicle. It provides two types of pro-
tection, exterior and interior, as well
as an anti-tamper function.

Exterior perimiter protection

The system detects opening of the
vehicle.
The alarm is triggered if anyone tries
to enter the vehicle by forcing a door,
the boot or the bonnet.

Interior volumetric protection

The system detects any variation in the
volume in the passenger compartment.
The  alarm  is  triggered  if  anyone
breaks  a  window  or  moves  inside
the vehicle.
If you wish to leave a pet in the vehicle
or a window partially open, deactivate
the interior volumetric protection.

Anti-tamper function

When the minimum level in the
tank is reached, this warning
lamp on the instrument panel
comes on, accompanied by

an audible warning and a message
on the multifunction screen.
When it ﬁ rst comes on, around

7 litres of fuel remain in the tank.
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out.

Additions of fuel must be of at least
5 litres to be taken into account by
the fuel gauge.

The petrol or diesel engine of your

vehicle is ﬁ tted with a catalytic con-

verter,  a  device  which  helps  to  re-
duce the level of harmful emissions
in the exhaust gases.
  For petrol engines, unleaded fuel
is obligatory.
The  ﬁ ller  neck  is  narrower,  permit-

ting unleaded petrol only.

Opening the ﬁ ller cap may result

in an inrush of air. This vacuum is
entirely normal and results from the
sealing of the fuel system.
 Press on the control A , situated

on the control panel on the left

hand side. The fuel ﬂ ap automat-

ically opens up.

 Take care to select the pump

that corresponds to the correct
fuel type for your vehicle.

pushed in as far as possible
before starting to refuel (risk of
blowback).

 Maintain this position throughout

the refuelling operation.



Push the fuel ﬂ ap to close it.

Fuel cut-off switch
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety
device which cuts off the fuel supply
in the event of a collision.

Refuelling

If you are ﬁ lling your tank to the

top, do not persist after the third
cut-off; this could cause your
vehicle to malfunction.

After  switching  off  the  ignition,  the
control   A   is  active  for  only  a  few
minutes.  If  necessary,  switch  on
the ignition again to reactivate it.
  If  you  have  put  in  fuel  that  is
wrong  for  your  vehicle,  it  is  es-
sential  to  have  the  tank  drained
before you start the engine.

           Quality of the fuel used for petrol
engines
The  petrol  engines  are  perfectly
compatible  with  E10  type  petrol
biofuels  (containing  10 %  ethanol),
conforming  to  European  standards
EN 228 and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 %
ethanol) are reserved exclusively for
vehicles marketed for the use of this
type  of  fuel  (BioFlex  vehicles).  The
quality  of  the  ethanol  must  comply
with European standard EN 15376.
For Brazil only, special vehicles are
marketed to run on fuels containing
up to 100 % ethanol (type E100).

           Quality of the fuel used for Diesel
engines
The  Diesel  engines  are  perfectly
compatible with biofuels which con-
form to current and future European
standards  (diesel  fuel  which  com-
plies  with  standard  EN  590  mixed
with  a  biofuel  which  complies  with
standard EN 14214) available at the
pumps  (containing  up  to  7 %  Fatty
Acid Methyl Ester).
The B30 biofuel can be used in cer-
tain  Diesel  engines;  however,  this
use  is  subject  to  strict  application
of  the  special  servicing  conditions.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or di-
luted, domestic fuel...) is strictly pro-
hibited (risk of damage to the engine
and fuel circuit).
