starting of the engine by anyone who does not
have the key.In the event of a fault, you are
informed by illumination of this
warning lamp, an audible signal and
a message in the screen.

your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it from working and the remote control would have
to be reinitialised.
No remote control can operate when the key is in the ignition switch, 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 difficult in an emergency.
as a s

In all cases, it is essential to remove the key from the ignition switch when leaving the vehicle.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system; this could
cause malfunctions.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the pairing of all of the keys in your possession checked by a CITRoËn dealer, to
ensure that only your keys can be used to open and start the vehicle. Do not throw the remote control
batteries away, they contain metals
which are harmful to the environment.
Take them to an approved collection

Fuel tank
Low fuel level
When the fuel tank minimum level is
reached this warning lamp comes on
on the instrument panel. When it first
comes on there remains approximately
5 litres of fuel in the tank.
Filling

y ou of the type of fuel to be used depending on
your engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 7 litres, in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge. To fill the tank safely:
F

t
he engine must be switched off,
F
o
pen the fuel filler flap,
F
i
nsert the key in the cap, then turn it to
the left,
F

located on the inside of the flap,
F
f
ill the tank, but do not continue after the
3rd cut- off of the pump ; this could cause
malfunctions.
When you have filled the tank:
F

With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
