Entry and Starting
This system allows the locking, unlocking and 
starting the vehicle by keeping the key on your 
person and in the recognition zone.
Stop & Start
This system puts the engine temporarily into 
standby during stops in the traffic  
(red lights, traffic jams, etc...). The engine 
restarts automatically as soon as you want to 
move off. The Stop & Start system reduces fuel 
consumption, exhaust emissions and the noise 
level when stationary.
Under-inflation detection
This system automatically checks the tyre 
pressures when driving and alerts you in the 
event of an under-inflated tyre.
Active City Brake
The aim of this system is to avoid a frontal 
collision or reduce the speed of impact if the 
driver fails to react or reacts too late.
Lane departure warning 
system
This system gives a warning if you inadvertently 
cross a longitudinal road marking. 108

The distance which can still be travelled with 
the fuel remaining in the tank (related to the 
average fuel consumption over the last few 
miles (kilometres) travelled).
This value may vary following a change 
in the style of driving or the relief, 
resulting in a significant change in the 
current fuel consumption.
When the fuel level is low, the message "Lo 
FUEL" is displayed.
If only a small amount of fuel is added, the 
range may not be recalculated.
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated over the last few seconds.
Stop & Start time counter
(minutes / seconds or hours / minutes)
I f your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start, a time 
counter calculates the time spent in STOP 
mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is 
switched on.
Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated since the last trip computer reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
Calculated since the last trip computer reset.

Lost keys
Go to a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's registration document, your personal 
identification documents and if possible the key code label.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to look up the key code and the transponder code 
required to order a new key.
Remote control / Electronic key
These high frequency devices are sensitive systems; do not handle them while in your 
pocket as there is a risk of unlocking the vehicle, without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your remote control or electronic key out of range 
and out of sight of your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it from working and the remote 
control would have to be reinitialised.
Locking the vehicle
As a safety precaution, never leave children alone in the vehicle, except for a very short 
period.
In all cases, it is essential to remove the key from the ignition switch, or take the electronic 
key with you when leaving the vehicle.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the pairing of all of the keys in your possession checked by a CITROËN dealer, to 
ensure that only your keys can be used to open and start the vehicle.
