In certain cases, you may have to apply more   force   to   the   steering   (wheels   on

ull   lock,   for   example).
Starting the engine
F With  a   petrol   engine,   operate   the   starter  m
otor   by   turning   the   key   to   position   3
without
  pressing   the   accelerator   pedal,  
u

ntil   the   engine   starts.   Once   the   engine   is

F  
i

s

ystem   recognises   the   code,
F  
u
nlock   the   steering   column   by  
s

imultaneously   turning   the   steering   and  
t

he key.
Wait until this warning lamp goes off in the i
nstrument   panel   then   operate   the   starter m

otor   by   turning   the   key   to   position 3
without
  pressing   the   accelerator   pedal,
 u

ntil   the   engine   starts.   Once   the   engine   is
 r

unning,   release   the   key.
If the engine does not start straight away,   switch   off   the   ignition.   Wait   a  
f

ew   moments   before   operating   the  
s

tarter   motor   again.   If   the   engine   does  
n

ot   start   after   several   attempts,   do   not  
k

eep   trying:   you   risk   damaging   the  
s

tarter   motor   or   the   engine.   Contact  
a

  CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop.
In
  wintry   conditions,   the   warning   lamp  
c

an   stay   on   for   a   longer   period.   When  
t

he   engine   is   hot,   the   warning   lamp  
d

oes   not   come   on. Never   leave   the   engine   running   in  
a

n   enclosed   area   without   adequate  
v

entilation:

ngines   emit   toxic   exhaust   gases,

ntoxication   and   death.
In   very   severe   wintry   conditions  
(

temperatures   below   -23°C),   to   ensure  
t

he   correct   operation   and   durability   of  
t

he   mechanical   components   of   your  
v

ehicle,   engine   and   gearbox,   it   is  n
ecessary   to   leave   the   engine   running  f
or   4   minutes   before   moving   off.
In
  temperate   conditions,   do   not   leave  
t

he   engine   at   idle   to   warm   up   but   move  
o

s

peed.

Speed limiter
System which prevents the vehicle from exceeding   the   speed   programmed   by   the   driver.
When
  the   programmed   speed   limit   is   reached,  
p

ressing   the   accelerator   pedal   in   the   normal  
m

anner   no   longer   has   any   effect.
The
  speed   limiter   is   switched on  
m
anually:
 i

t   requires   a   programmed   speed   of   at   least  
2

0 mph   (30   km/h).
The
  speed   limiter   is   switched off   by   manual  
o

peration   of   the   control.
The
  programmed   speed   can   be   exceeded  
t

emporarily   by   pressing   the   accelerator   firmly.
To
  return   to   the   programmed   speed,   simply  
s

low   down   to   a   speed   below   the   programmed  
s

peed. The
  speed   limiter   cannot,   in   any
 c

ircumstances,   replace   the   need   to
 r

espect   speed   limits,   nor   can   it   replace   the

Before reinitialising the system, ensure that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct
  for   the   use   of   the   vehicle   and   in

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
programme (ESP)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as Traction Control)   optimises   traction   to   prevent   skidding o

f   the   wheels,   by   acting   on   the   brakes   of   the
 d

riving   wheels   and   on   the   engine.
The
  electronic   stability   programme   acts   on   the
 b

rake   of   one   or   more   wheels   and   on   the   engine
 t

o   keep   the   vehicle   on   the   trajectory   required   by
 t

he   driver,   within   the   limits   of   the   laws   of   physics.
This
  is   indicated   by   flashing   of   this  
w

arning   lamp   in   the   instrument   panel. The
  ASR /ESP   systems   offer  
e

xceptional   safety   in   normal   driving,   but  
t

his   should   not   encourage   the   driver   to  
t

ake   extra   risks   or   drive   at   high   speed.
The
  correct   functioning   of   these  
s

ystems   depends   on   observation   of  
t

he
 ma
nufacturer's
 r
ecommendations

egarding   the   wheels   (tyres   and   rims),  
t

he   braking   components,   the   electronic

Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which   is   bogged   down,   stuck   in   snow,   on   soft

Do
  not   leave   anything   between   the

c

ould   cause   injuries   during   their   deployment.
Never
  modify   the   original   definition   of   your  
v

a

round   the   airbags.
After
  an   accident   or   if   the   vehicle   has   been  
s

tolen   or   broken   into,   have   the   airbag  
s

ystems   checked.
All
  work   on   the   airbag   system   must   be  
c

arried   out   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w
orkshop.
Even

re   observed,   a   risk   of   injury   or   of   minor  
b

urns   to   the   head,   chest   or   arms   when   an  
a

irbag   is   deployed   cannot   be   ruled   out.   The

Use only approved covers on the seats, compatible   with   the   deployment   the   lateral  
a

irbags.   For   information   on   the   range   of   seat  
c

overs suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact
  a   CITROËN dealer.
For
  more   information   on   accessories,   refer  
t

o   the   corresponding   section.
Do
  not   fix   or   attach   anything   to   the   seat  
b

acks   (clothing...).   This   could   cause   injury

Do
  not   sit   with   the   upper   part   of   the   body   any  
n

earer   to   the   door   than   necessary.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes   or   resting   your   hands   on   the   centre  
p
