When purchasing a second-hand
vehicle:
- have the keys memorised by a CITROËN dealer to ensure that
the keys in your possession are
the only ones which can start the
vehicle.
Good practice
Do not make any modifi cations to the
electronic immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even
when it is in your pocket, may result in
involuntary unlocking of the doors.
The simultaneous use of other
high frequency equipment (mobile
telephones, domestic alarms…), may
interfere with the operation of the
remote control temporarily.
The remote control does not operate
while the key is in the ignition, even if
the ignition is off.
As a safety precaution (with children
on board), remove the key from the
ignition when leaving the vehicle, even
for a short time.
ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER
All of the keys contain an electronic
immobiliser device.
This device locks the engine supply
system. It is activated automatically
when the key is removed from the
ignition.
After the ignition is switched on, a
dialogue is established between the
key and the electronic immobiliser
system.
The metal part of the key must be
unfolded correctly for correct dialogue
to take place.
If you lose your keys
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the
vehicle's V5 registration document and
your identifi cation document.
A CITROËN dealer will be able
to retrieve the key code and
the transponder code so that a
replacement key can be ordered.
Locking the vehicle with
complete alarm
Setting the alarm
- Switch off the ignition and get out of the vehicle.
- Set the alarm within fi ve minutes of getting out of the vehicle, by locking
or deadlocking using the remote
control. The red diode, located
on the button, fl ashes once per
second.
ALARM
If fi tted on your vehicle, this provides
two types of protection:
- exterior protection: it sounds if a front/rear door or the bonnet is
opened.
- interior protection: it sounds if the volume inside the passenger
compartment changes (breaking of
a window or a movement inside the
vehicle).
If your vehicle is fi tted with a separation
partition, the interior protection is not
active in the load space.

Fuel
FILLING WITH FUEL
Low fuel level The fuel tank must be fi lled
with the
engine off .
- Open the fuel fi ller fl ap.
- Insert the key, then turn it a quarter turn.
- Remove the cap and hook it onto the clip located on the inside of the
fl ap.
A label affi xed to the inside of the fl ap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be
used.
When fi lling the fuel tank, do not
continue after the 3 rd cut-off of the
nozzle. This could cause malfunctions.
The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 60 litres.
- After fi lling the fuel tank, lock the cap and close the fl ap.
FUEL CIRCUIT DISARMED
In a serious collision, a mechanism
automatically prevents fuel from
reaching the engine.
The fl ashing of this warning
light is accompanied by a
message on the display.
Check that there is no odour or leakage
of fuel outside the vehicle and re-establish
the fuel supply:
- switch off the ignition (STOP position).
- remove the key.
- put the key back in the ignition.
- switch on the ignition and start.
DIESEL REPRIMING PUMP
If you should run out of fuel, it is
necessary to re-prime the circuit:
- fi ll the fuel tank with at least fi ve litres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual re-priming pump, under the bonnet
under the protective cover,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.
Refer to the "Under the bonnet"
section of chapter 6.
When fi lling with fuel, a mechanical
system prevents opening of the left-hand
side door. When the fuel fi ller fl ap is open,
ensure that no one tries to slide this door.
Once the fl ap has been closed, the
sliding side door may jam, push the
door to close it then open it.

When the minimum fuel tank
level is reached, this warning
light comes on.
You then have

approximately 8 litres of
fuel remaining. Fill up without delay to
avoid running out of fuel.
