COMFORT
When starting with the engine
cold, air fl ow will reach its opti-
mum level gradually to prevent an
excessive distribution of cold air.
When entering the vehicle after it
has been parked for a fairly long
period, if the interior temperature
is very different from your comfort
setting there is no need to change
the temperature displayed in or-
der to quickly reach the level of
comfort required. The system
automatically uses its maximum
performance to correct the differ-
ence in temperature as quickly as
possible.
The water resulting from the air
conditioning condensation is dis-
charged via an opening provided
for this purpose; therefore, a pud-
dle of water may form underneath
the vehicle when stationary.
In all seasons, if the weather is
cool, the air conditioning is use-
ful as it removes the humidity
from the air and the condensa-
tion. Avoid driving for prolonged
periods with the air conditioning
switched off.
9. Front demisting - defrosting
In certain cases, the
"AUTO"
mode may not
be suffi cient to demist
or defrost the windows
(humidity, several pas-
sengers, ice).


)
Press control 9
to clear the win-
dows quickly. The indicator lamp
comes on.
This system controls the temperature,
air fl ow and intake and distributes
the ventilation to the windscreen
and front side windows.
Resuming manual control exits from
the "Demisting" mode. It must be
cancelled as soon as possible to
permit renewal of the air in the pas-
senger compartment and demisting.
Pressing one of the controls 1a
and
1b
returns the system to the "AUTO"

mode.
8. Rear demisting - defrosting
Switch off the rear screen and exterior
mirrors demisting when you consider
this necessary as low current con-
sumption reduces fuel consumption. The heated rear screen
operates independently
of the air conditioning
system.


)
Press control 8
, with the en-
gine running, to demist the rear
screen and the mirrors. The indi-
cator lamp comes on.
Demisting is switched off automati-
cally to avoid excessive consump-
tion of current and depending on the
exterior temperature.
It may be stopped by pressing con-
trol 8
again or when the engine is
switched off.
In this latter case, the demisting re-
sumes if the engine is switched on
again within one minute.






With Stop & Start, when demisting
has been activated, the STOP mode
is not available.

ACCESS
STOPPING

Do not fl ick the accelerator at
the moment of switching off the
ignition. This could cause serious
damage to the turbocharger(s).















IGNITION SWITCH


1. "S": Steering lock

To unlock the steering, gently move
the steering wheel while turning the
key, without forcing it.


2. "M": Drive position

Depending on the version of your
vehicle, the orange and red warn-
ing lamps should also come on for
a short time.


3. "D": Starter

Release the key as soon the engine
has started.
If the fi rst attempt fails, switch off the
ignition. Wait ten seconds then ope-
rate the starter again.


Steering lock


1. "

After removing the key, turn
the steering wheel to lock the stee-
ring. The key can only be removed
in position S
.

2. "M":
Ignition switched on, the
steering is unlocked (by turning the
key to position M
, move the steering
wheel gently if necessary).

3. "D":
Starter position.
Never turn the key to this position
when the engine is running.

Do not run the engine in an en-
closed space or where there is in-
suffi cient ventilation.
It is essential always to drive with
the engine running in order to retain
braking and steering assistance.
Never remove the ignition key
before the vehicle has come to a
complete stop.
Avoid attaching a heavy object to
the key which would weigh down
on its shaft in the switch and could
cause a malfunction.

Vehicles equipped with
a turbocharger
Never stop the engine without hav-
ing allowed it to run for a few sec-
onds at idle, this being the time
required for the turbocharger to re-
turn to a normal speed.

ACCESS














Lost keys

Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehi-cle's V5 registration document and your personal identifi cation documents.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to
retrieve the key code and the transpon-
der code required to order a replace-
ment key.


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 work-
ing 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 com-
partment 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 sys-
tem; 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.









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

FUEL TANK


Capacity of the tank: approxi-
mately
71 litres

*
.



Low fuel level

When the minimum level
in the tank is reached,
this warning lamp comes
on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an audible
warning and a message on the mul-
tifunction screen. When it fi rst comes
on, there remains around 5 litres of
fuel in the tank.
You must refuel to avoid running out
of fuel.


)
Press at the top left corner, then
pull open from the left.


)
turn the key a quarter turn to lock
and unlock the fi ller cap,

)
when refuelling, place the cap on
hook A
,

)
fi ll the tank, but do not persist
after the third cut-off
; this could
cause your vehicle to malfunction.


While you are refuelling, the engine
must be stopped and the ignition
switched off.


For a petrol engine with a cata-
lytic converter, unleaded fuel is
compulsory.



Opening the fuel flap

Additions of fuel must be of at least
5 litres to be taken into account by
the fuel gauge.
The fi ller neck is narrower to en-
sure that only unleaded petrol noz-
zles can be put in.
Opening the fi ller cap may create
a noise of an inrush of air. This
vacuum, which is entirely normal,
is caused by the sealing of the fuel
system.


Refuelling








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

DRIVING

Dynamic emergency braking

In the event of a failure of the ve-
hicle’s main braking system or in
an exceptional situation (e.g. driver
taken ill, under instruction, etc) pull
and hold control lever A
to stop the
vehicle.
The electronic stability programme
(ESP) provides stability during dy-
namic emergency braking.
If there is a fault with the dynamic
emergency braking, one of the fol-
lowing messages will be displayed
in the instrument panel screen:


- "Parking brake faulty".

- "Parking brake control faulty". If a failure of the ESP system
is signalled by the lighting
of this warning lamp, then
braking stability is not guar-
anteed. In this event, stability must
be assured by the driver by repeat-
ing alternate "pull release" actions on
control lever A
.

The dynamic emergency
braking should only be used
in exceptional circumstances.

Emergency parking brake
release

In the event of the electric parking
brake failing to release, an emergency
device can be used to release the
parking brake manually, provided that
it is possible to immobilise the vehicle
while the procedure is carried out.


)
If you can start the vehicle: with
the engine running, immobilise
the vehicle by applying the foot
brake while the operation is being
carried out.

)
If you are unable to start the
vehicle (fl at battery for example):
do not use this device and contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop. However, if you are
obliged to proceed, fi rst immobilise
your vehicle securely and then fol-
low the instructions below. If the vehicle cannot be im-
mobilised, do not operate
the emergency release. Your ve-
hicle may run away if on a slope.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.

DRIVING











STOP & START

The Stop & Start system puts the en-
gine temporarily into standby - STOP
mode - during stops in the traffi c
(red lights, traffi c jams, or other...).
The engine restarts automatically -
START mode - as soon as you want
to move off. The restart takes place
instantly, quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop &
Start system reduces fuel consump-
tion and exhaust emissions as well
as the noise level when stationary.

Operation



- with the electronic
gearbox

system
, at speeds below 4 mph
(6 km/h), press the brake pedal or
put the gear lever in position N
.
Going into engine STOP mode

The "ECO"
warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and
the engine goes into standby:
If your vehicle is fi tted
with the system, a time
counter calculates the
sum of the periods in
STOP mode during a journey. It rests
itself to zero every time the ignition
is switched on with the key.

For your comfort, during parking
maoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the func-
tionality of the vehicle, such as for ex-
ample, braking, power steering...

Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
In this case, the "ECO"

warning lamp fl ashes for a
few seconds then goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.
STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fas-
tened,

- the vehicle has not exceeded
6 mph (10 km/h) since the last
engine start using the key,

- the electric parking brake is ap-
plied or being applied,

- the engine is needed to maintain
a comfortable temperature in the
passenger compartment,

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature,
braking assistance, ambient
temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a
system.

In the event of a fault with the sys-
tem, the "ECO OFF"
switch warning
lamp fl ashes then comes on con-
tinuously.
Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode,
the vehicle may stall. It is then neces-
sary to switch off the ignition and start
the engine again using the key.


Operating fault


The Stop & Start system
makes use of advanced tech-
nology. For any work on the sys-
tem go to a qualifi ed workshop with
the skills and equipment required,
which a CITROËN dealer is able to
provide.

Before doing anything under
the bonnet, deactivate the
Stop & Start system to avoid
any risk of injury resulting from au-
tomatic operation of START mode.


Maintenance

This system requires a battery with
a special specifi cation and techno-
logy (reference numbers available
from CITROËN dealers).
Fitting a battery not listed by
CITROËN introduces the risk of
malfunction of the system.
