ACCESS
ALARM
System which protects and provides a
deterrent against the theft of your vehi-
cle. It provides two types of protection,
exterior and interior, as well as a self-
protection function.
Exterior perimeter protection
The system detects opening of the ve-
hicle.
The alarm is triggered if anyone tries to
enter the vehicle by forcing a door, the
boot or the bonnet.
Interior volumetric protection
The system detects any variation in the
volume in the passenger compartment.
The alarm is triggered if anyone breaks
a window or moves inside the vehicle.
If you wish to leave a pet in the vehicle
or a window partially open, deactivate
the interior volumetric protection.
Self-protection function
The system detects the putting out of
service of its components.
The alarm is triggered if anyone tries
to put the wires of the siren, the central
control or the battery out of service.
Do not make any modifi cations
to the alarm system, this could
cause malfunctions.

) and
that the parking brake is ap-
plied.
For all parking situations, you
must apply the parking brake
to immobilise the vehicle. When immobilising the vehicle
with the engine running, you
must put the gear lever into
neutral (position N
).
Before switching off the engine:
- change to position N
to be in neutral,
or
- leave the vehicle in gear; in this case
the vehicle cannot be moved.

P
position to another position
when the battery is fl at.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the multifunc-
tion screen, indicates a gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to
back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear.
You may feel a substantial knock when
changing from P
to R
and from N
to R
.
This will not cause any damage to the
gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local
speed restrictions permitting.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop as soon as possible.
To reduce fuel consumption
when at a prolonged standstill
with the engine running (traffi c
jam...), put the gear lever in the
N
position and apply the parking
