Anti-theft protection


Electronic engine immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip
which has a special code. When the
ignition is switched on, this code must
be recognised in order for starting to be
possible.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks
the engine management system a few
minutes after the ignition is switched off
and prevents starting of the engine by
anyone who does not have the key.
In the event of a fault, you
are informed by illumina-
tion of this warning lamp,
an audible signal and a message in the
screen.
In this case, your vehicle will not start;
contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as
possible.









Starting the vehicle



)
Insert the key in the ignition switch.
The system recognises the starting
code.

)
Turn the key fully towards the dash-
board to position 3 (Starting)
.

)
When the engine starts, release
the key.



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


Switching the vehicle off



)
Immobilise the vehicle.

)
Turn the key fully towards you to
position 1 (Stop)
.

)
Remove the key from the ignition
switch.










Key left in the "Ignition on"
position
On opening the driver's door, an
alert message is displayed, ac-
companied by an audible signal, to
remind you that the key is still in the
ignition switch at position 1 (Stop)
.

If the key has been left in the ignition
switch at position 2 (Ignition on)
,
the ignition will be switched off auto-
matically after one hour.
To switch the ignition back on, turn
the key to position 1 (Stop)
, then
back to position 2 (Ignition on)

the keys given to you on acquisi-
tion of the vehicle.

Lost keys

Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's registration document, your per-
sonal identifi cation documents and if possible the key code label.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to fi nd the key code and the transponder
code required to order a new key.






Do not throw the remote con-
trol batteries away, they contain
metals which are harmful to the
environment.
Take them to an approved col-
lection point.

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 ve-
hicle, 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 working and
the remote control would have to be reinitialised.
The remote control does not operate when the key is in the ignition switch,
even when the ignition is switched off, except for reinitialisation.


Locking the vehicle

Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compart-
ment by the emergency services more diffi cult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on board), remove the key from the
ignition switch when you leave the vehicle, even for a short time.


Anti-theft protection

Do not make any modifi cations to the electronic engine immobiliser system;
this could cause malfunctions.


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.

FUEL TANK


Capacity of the tank: approximately
60 litres.

When the low fuel level in the
tank is reached, this warning
lamp comes on in the instru-
ment panel, accompanied by
an audible warning and an alert
message. When it fi rst comes
on, around 6 litres
of fuel re-
main in the tank.
Until suffi cient fuel has been added,
every time the ignition is switched on,
this warning lamp appears, accompa-
nied by an audible signal and an alert
message. Depending on version, when
driving, this audible signal and the dis-
play of this alert message are repeated
with increasing frequency, as the level
drops towards 0
.
You must refuel as soon as possible to
avoid running out.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also
to "Checks".


Low fuel level

Refuelling

Additions of fuel must be of at least
5 litres to be registered by the fuel gauge.
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.
If you have put in the wrong
fuel for your vehicle, you must
have have the tank drained and
refi lled with the correct fuel be-
fore you start the engine.

)
Press control A
until the automatic
opening of the fuel fl ap is heard.
This control remains active for a few
minutes after switching off the igni-
tion. If necessary, switch the ignition
on again to reactivate it.

If you are fi lling your tank to the top,
do not persist after the third cut-off;
this could cause your vehicle to mal-
function.

)
Take care to select the pump that
delivers the correct fuel for your ve-
hicle.

)
Introduce the nozzle so as to push
in the metal non-return fl ap B.


)
Make sure that the nozzle is pushed
in as far as possible before starting
to refuel (risk of blowback).

)
Maintain this position while refuel-
ling.

)
Push the fuel fl ap to close it.





With Stop & Start, never refuel
with the system in STOP mode;
you must switch off the ignition
with the key.
