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.

tion of this warning lamp,

Lost keys
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's V5 registration document and
your personal identifi cation documents.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to retrieve the key code and the tran-
sponder code required to order a replacement 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
vehicle, 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, even
when the ignition is switched off, except for reinitialisation.
Locking the vehicle

Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment
by the emergency services more diffi cult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on board), remove the key from the
ignition 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 key codes memorised by a CITROËN dealer, to ensure that the
keys in your possession are the only ones which can start the vehicle.

It is advisable to disconnect the bat-
tery if the vehicle is to be left unused
for more than one month.
The batteries contain harmful
substances such as sulphuric
acid and lead. They must be
disposed of in accordance with
regulations and must not, in any
circumstances, be discarded
with household waste.
Take used remote control bat-
teries and vehicle batteries to a

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
199

Do not disconnect the terminals
while the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries without
disconnecting the terminals fi rst.
Do not push the vehicle to start the
engine if it is fi tted with the 6-speed
electronic gearbox system.


Before disconnecting the battery

Wait 2 minutes after switching off
the ignition before disconnecting
the battery.
Close the windows and the doors
before disconnecting the battery.

Following reconnection of
the battery
Following reconnection of the
battery, switch on the ignition
and wait 1 minute before start-
ing to permit initialisation of the
electronic systems. However, if
problems are encountered fol-
lowing this operation, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Referring to the corresponding
section, you must yourself reini-
tialise:


- the remote control key,

- the panoramic sunroof blind,

- the GPS satellite navigation
system.


LOAD REDUCTION MODE

System which manages the use of cer-
tain functions according to the level of
charge remaining in the battery.

When the vehicle is being driven, the
load reduction function temporarily deac-
tivates certain functions, such as the air
conditioning, the heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions
permit.
ENERGY ECONOMY MODE
System which manages the period of
use of certain functions to conserve a
suffi cient level of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio
equipment, windscreen wipers, dipped
beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc.
for a maximum combined period of
thirty minutes.
Switching to economy mode

Once this period has elapsed, a message
appears in the screen indicating that the ve-
hicle has switched to economy mode and
the active functions are put on standby.
If the telephone is being used at
the same time on the navigation
system, it will be interrupted af-
ter 10 minutes.
A fl at battery prevents the engine
from starting (refer to the corre-
sponding paragraph).
Exiting economy mode

These functions are reactivated auto-
matically the next time the vehicle is
driven.


)
In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, start the engine
and let it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be
double the period for which the engine
is left running. However, this period will
always be between fi ve and thirty minutes.

This period may be greatly re-
duced if the battery is not fully
charged.
