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

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

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

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

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

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

After
  an   accident   or   if   the   vehicle   has   been  
s
