steering wheel CITROEN C-ELYSÉE 2017 Handbook (in English)

86
Advice
The vehicle's front door panels include side
impact sensors.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or
incorrectly executed work (modification or
repair) on the front doors or their interior trim
could compromise the operation of these
sensors - Risk of malfunction of the side air
bags!
Such work must only be done by a
CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Front air bags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its
spokes or resting your hands on the centre
part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the air bags
can cause burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or
hit it violently.
Do not fasten or attach anything to the
steering wheel or dashboard, this could
cause injuries with deployment of the air
bags.
Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.
Fasten your seat belt, ensuring it is
positioned correctly.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the air bags (a child, pet,
object...), nor fix or attach anything close to
the inflation trajectory of the air bags; this
could cause injuries during their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the air bags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the air bag
systems checked.
All work on the air bag system must be
carried out by a
CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Even when following all the precautions
listed, a risk of injuries or slight burns to
the head, the chest or the arms, when an
air bag deploys cannot be excluded. The
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose. For the air bags to be fully effective, obser ve the safety recommendations below.
Side air bags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of the side
air bags. For information on the range of
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact a dealer
CITROËN.
Do not attach anything to or hang anything
from the seat backrests (clothes, etc.) as
this could cause injuries to the thorax or arm
when the side air bag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.
Safety

103
Starting the engine
The parking brake must be applied.
F

W

ith a manual gearbox, place the gear
lever in neutral then depress the clutch
pedal fully.
F

W

ith an automatic gearbox, select position
P, then firmly press the brake pedal.
F

W

ith an electronic gearbox, select position
N then firmly press the brake pedal.
F

I

nsert the key into the ignition switch; the
system recognises the code.
F

U

nlock the steering column by
simultaneously turning the steering and the
key.
In certain cases, you may have to turn
the steering wheel energetically to move
the wheels (for example if the wheels are
braced against a kerb). F
W ith a petrol engine, operate the starter
motor by turning the key to position 3
without pressing the accelerator pedal,
until the engine starts. Once the engine is
running, release the key.
F

W
ith a Diesel engine, turn the key to
position 2 , ignition on, to operate the
engine pre-heating system.
Wait until this warning light goes off
in the instrument panel then operate
the starter motor by turning the key
to position 3 without pressing the
accelerator pedal, until the engine
starts. Once the engine is running,
release the key.
In winter conditions, the lighting time of
the indicator light is longer. When the
engine is warm, the indicator light does
not come on. If the engine does not start immediately,
turn off the ignition. Wait a few minutes
before restarting. If after a few attempts
the engine does not start, do not persist:
you risk damaging the starter and the
engine. Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In temperate conditions, do not leave
the engine at idle to warm up but move
off straight away and drive at moderate
speed.
Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion engines
emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon
monoxide. There is a risk of poisoning and
death!
In severe wintry conditions (temperature
below -23°C), the engine should be left at
idle for four minutes before moving off to
ensure the correct operation and life of the
mechanical parts of your vehicle, engine
and gearbox.

heck that the parking brake is
correctly applied, particularly on
sloping ground. After switching off the engine (position
1- Stop
), for a maximum of 30 minutes you
can still use functions such as the audio and
communications system, the wipers, dipped
beam headlights, courtesy lights, ...
Never turn the ignition off before the
vehicle is at a complete stop. With the
engine off, the braking and steering
assistance systems are also cut off: risk
of loss of control of the vehicle.
When you leave the vehicle, keep the key
with you and lock the vehicle.
When opening the driver's door, an alert
message is displayed, accompanied 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 automatically
after one hour.
To switch the ignition back on, turn the key
to position 1 (Stop) , then back to position
2 (Ignition on) .

Speed limiter
System which prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by the
driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached,
pressing the accelerator pedal in the normal
manner no longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched on manually:
it requires a programmed speed of at least
20
mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off by manual
operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
slow down to a speed below the programmed
speed.
The programmed speed remains in the system
memory when the ignition is switched off.
The limiter can under no circumstances
replace respect for speed limits, or the
vigilance of the driver.Steering mounted controls
The controls of this system are grouped
together on lever A .

122
Cruise control
System which automatically maintains the
speed of the vehicle at the value programmed
by the driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal.
Cruise control is switched on manually: it
requires a minimum speed of at least 25 mph
(40 km/h) and the engagement of:
-

F
ourth gear on a manual gearbox.
-
Sec

ond gear on an automatic or electronic
gearbox, in sequential mode,
-
Position A on an electronic gearbox or
position D on an automatic gearbox.
Cruise control is switched off manually or
by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on
triggering of the trajectory control systems for
safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by depressing the accelerator
pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed setting.
Cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to
respect speed limits, nor can it replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.Steering mounted controls
