PARKING ASSISTANCE

LANE DEPARTURE
WARNING SYSTEM

This  driving  assistance  device
warns  you  when  you  unwittingly
cross a lane marking (either a con-
tinuous or a dotted line on the road
surface).  It  is  designed  for  use  on
motorways and dual carriageways,
operating  only

above speeds of

approx. 80 km/h (50 mph).
A press on button B activates the
function, the warning lamp on the
button lights up.

HEAD-UP DISPLAY

The

Head-up

display

projects

essential driving data into the

driver's ﬁ eld of vision. This enables

the driver never to take his eyes
off the road.

The controls for the Head-up dis-
play are located beneath the air
vent on the driver's side.

CENTRAL UNLOCKING

A press on button A unlocks your vehicle.
This operation is conﬁ rmed by the rapid ﬂ ashing of the direction indicators

and the lighting of the interior lamp (if the function is activated). It can also

deploy the exterior rear view mirrors.

CENTRAL LOCKING - CLOSING OF WINDOWS AND SUN
ROOF - DEADLOCKING

A short press on button B locks your vehicle.
A long press on button B

locks your vehicle and closes the windows

and the sun roof.
Two successive presses on button B

deadlocks the vehicle. It is then

impossible to open the doors from either inside or outside the vehicle.

This operation is conﬁ rmed by the direction indicators illuminating for approx.

2 seconds and by the interior lamp switching off. This also folds the exterior

rear view mirrors.
If any of the doors, or the boot, is open or not properly closed, the central

locking does not operate.

•
•

•

If closing the windows and sun roof using the remote control,
the user must make sure that no person is preventing the
windows and/or sun roof from closing properly.
It is dangerous to operate the deadlocking when a person
is in the vehicle as unlocking is impossible from the inside
(without the remote control).

R E M O T E C O N T R O L

FOLDING AND EJECTING THE KEY

Button D

is for folding and ejecting the key from its housing in the remote

control.
If you do not press on button D, you could damage the key mechanism.

Changing the remote control battery

Unclip the cover to gain access to the battery.
Battery:

CR 0523 of 3 V.

After a change of battery, it may be necessary to re-initialise the remote

control. To do that, switch on the ignition and immediately action button B

on your remote control to trigger the action desired. This may take some ten

seconds.
Note: Make a careful note of the numbers for the keys and for the remote
control on the ASSISTANCE card. Keep this in a safe place.
Do not throw away the old batteries. They should be returned to a
CITROËN dealer

Do not throw away

Do not throw

or deposited at a recognised collection point (a camera

dealer

shop, for example).

Except when reinitialising, the remote control cannot function while the key is in the ignition, even
when switched off.
Warning: by inadvertently actioning the remote control, when for example it is in your pocket, you
can unlock the vehicle without your realising it.
However, if none of the doors is opened within thirty seconds following an unlocking, the doors
will automatically relock.
Warning: there is a risk of damage if the replacement battery is not the correct one.
Only use batteries that are identical or equivalent to those approved by CITROËN.

GUIDE-ME-HOME LIGHTING

A press on button C operates the

guide-me-home lighting (illumina-

tion of the sidelamps and dipped

beams for approx. one minute).
A second press prior to the end of

this timing cancels the guide-me-

home lighting.

LOCATING OF THE VEHICLE

To locate the vehicle on a carpark,

press button B

, the interior lamps

come on and the direction indica-

tors ﬂ ash for a few seconds. The

vehicle remains locked.

K E Y S

It is dangerous to operate the deadlocking when a person is in the vehicle as unlocking is impos-
sible from the inside (without the remote control).
The key number is on the label attached to the key.
Should you lose your key or remote control, a CITROËN dealer can supply replacements.
If you unlock your vehicle using the key because of a problem with the battery, be aware that
opening/closing a door with the window closed can seriously damage the glass, even to the point
of breaking it. See "Access".

ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER
KEY

The key operates all the vehicle’s

locks as well as the ignition.
Note: For safety reasons, a buzzer
will sound if you have switched off
the ignition and opened the driv-
er’s door without having removed
the ignition key.
The key can be used to deactivate

the front passenger’s airbag. See

"Airbags".

CENTRAL LOCKING USING THE KEY

A brief action with the key locks the vehicle.

Deadlocking: Central locking using the key

A second action straightaway with the key deadlocks the vehicle. It is then

impossible to open the doors from either inside or outside the vehicle.
Note:

With the vehicle stationary and the engine switched off, locking is

signalled by the ﬂ ashing of the interior locking control warning lamp.
If any of the doors, or the boot, is open or not properly closed, the
central locking does not operate.

ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER

The ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER device locks the engine supply system.
The system activates automatically as the key is removed from the ignition.
All the vehicle’s keys contain an electronic immobiliser device.
After you switch on the ignition, a dialogue starts between the key and the

electronic immobiliser device.
If the key is not recognised, you cannot start the vehicle.
If this occurs, leave your vehicle immobilised and contact a CITROËN

dealer.

A N T I - I N T R U S I O N A L A R M

Your vehicle may be equipped with

an ANTI-INTRUSION ALARM. This

provides:

Exterior perimeter protection

by means of detectors on the

vehicle access points (doors,

boot, bonnet) as well as on the

electrical supply.
Interior volumetric protection

by means of ultrasonic sensors

(detecting movement inside the

passenger compartment). This

can be deactivated using the

control 1.

•

The installation also has a siren,

and a warning lamp on the con-

trol 1

which is visible from outside

the vehicle, indicating the three

possible statuses of the alarm:

Alarm not active (disarmed),

warning lamp off.

Alarm active (armed), the

warning lamp ﬂ ashes slowly.

Alarm triggered (signalling an

intrusion), the warning lamp

ﬂ ashes rapidly if the alarm is

deactivated by a press on the

control A

. It stops as soon as

you switch on the ignition.

Note: If there is a malfunction,
the warning lamp remains perma-
nently on.

•

DEACTIVATION OF THE
ALARM USNG THE REMOTE
CONTROL

The alarm is disarmed when you

unlock the vehicle (with a press on

button A

on the remote control).

DEACTIVATION OF THE
ALARM WITH THE KEY

Unlock the doors with the key. The

siren triggers. Enter the vehicle,

insert the key in the ignition and

turn it to the drive position to stop

the siren. Otherwise the siren

will continue for approximately

30 seconds.

A N T I - I N T R U S I O N A L A R M

OPERATING THE ALARM

First make sure all the doors are closed.
The alarm is armed by pressing button B on the remote

control.
With the alarm armed, the protections are active after

5 seconds (perimeter) and 45 seconds (volumetric).
When the alarm is armed (on standby), any intrusion

will trigger the siren for 30 seconds, accompanied by

the direction indicators lighting up.
The alarm then goes back on standby, but the trigger-

ing remains memorised and is signalled by the rapid

ﬂ ashing of the warning lamp on control 1 after you have

deactivated the alarm with a press on the unlocking

button A

. The ﬂ ashing stops when you switch on the

ignition.
The siren is also triggered if there is a cutting of the

electrical supply. To stop it, restore the electrical supply

then press on the unlocking button A.
Note:

If you want to lock your vehicle without arming the
alarm, just lock with the key only.
If you lock your vehicle and a door, or the boot, is
still open, the central locking does not operate but
the alarm will arm itself after approx. 45 seconds.

Note: The siren is automatically deactivated (for exam-
ple for disconnecting the battery) as soon as the vehicle
is unlocked using the remote control.

•

Deactivating the volumetric detection

You can operate the alarm with perimeter protection

only, by deactivating the volumetric protection (if for

example you wish to leave an animal in the vehicle).
For this, switch off the ignition then immediately press

button 1

for at least one second.

The warning lamp on button 1 should come perma-

nently on. It will start to ﬂ ash when the alarm is armed.
Arm the alarm by locking your vehicle with the remote

control.
It is recommended to deactivate the volumetric detec-

tion when washing the vehicle in order to prevent the

random triggering of the alarm.

Automatic activation (according to destination)

The alarm is armed automatically, 2 minutes after the

last door, or the boot, has been closed.
In order to prevent the alarm from triggering when you

open one of the doors or the boot, it is essential to press

the unlocking button A again on the remote control.

S T E E R I N G L O C K – I G N I T I O N – S TA R T E R

MAINTENANCE INDICATOR

It informs you when the next routine service is due in accordance with the vehicle servicing schedule in the Main-

tenance Guide. This information is dependent on two parameters: the mileage covered, and the time elapsed since

the last visit.

Operation

From switching on the ignition

and for a few seconds, the span-

ner symbolising maintenance
operations lights up

; the instru-

ment panel tells you the distance

remaining to the next service.
Example:

there remain up to the

next service:

A few seconds after this, the engine

oil level indicator is displayed, then

the total mileage recorder resumes

its normal role. The instrument

panel gives the total and trip

mileages.

Operation if the distance to
the next service is less than
1 000 km (600 miles)

Each time you switch on the igni-

tion and for 5 seconds, the span-

ner and the distance ﬂ ash.
Example:

there remain up to the

next service: 500 km (300 miles).

On switching on the ignition and for

5 seconds, the instrument panel

indicates:

A few seconds after this, the engine

oil level indicator is displayed, then

the total mileage recorder resumes

its normal role and the mainte-

nance symbol remains lit up.
This is a warning to you that a

service must be carried out at the

earliest opportunity.
The instrument panel gives the

total and trip mileages.

Operation if the service
interval has been passed

Each time you switch on the igni-

tion, the maintenance symbol and

the distance covered (preceded

by a minus) beyond the recom-

mended interval ﬂ ash.
Example:

You have exceeded

the service interval by 300 km

(300 miles).
The routine service on your vehi-

cle needs to be carried as soon as

possible.

A few seconds after switching

on the ignition, the total mile-

age recorder resumes its normal

role and the maintenance symbol

remains lit up.

I N S T R U M E N T PA N E L

Maintenance intervals

If you use your vehicle in par-

ticularly difﬁ cult conditions, it is

essential to have recourse to the
