Anti-theft protection
Electronic engine immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic chip which has
a secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a few minutes
after the ignition is switched off and prevents
starting of the engine by anyone who does not
have the key.For reasons of safety and theft protection,
do not leave your electronic key in the
vehicle, even when you are close to it.
It is recommended that you keep it on
your person.
In the event of a malfunction, you are informed
by a message in the instrument panel screen.
In this case, your vehicle does not start; contact
a CITROËN dealer if required.
Starting / Switching off the engine with the key
It has 3 positions:
-
p osition 1 (Stop) : insert and removing the
key, steering column locked,
-
p
osition 2 (Ignition on) : steering column
unlocked, ignition on, Diesel preheating,
engine running,
-
p
osition 3 (Starting) .
Ignition switch
Switching off the engine leads to a loss
of braking assistance.
Ignition on position
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric
equipment or portable devices to be charged.
Once the state of charge of the battery drops
to the reserve level, the system switches to
energy economy mode: the power supply is
cut off automatically to preserve the remaining
battery charge.
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the
key or the remote control, which would
weigh down on its blade in the ignition
switch and could cause a malfunction.
It could adversely affect the deployment
of the front airbag.

Access to the battery
Procedure for starting the engine using another battery or charging a discharged battery.
Protect your eyes and face before
handling the battery.
All operations on the battery must be
carried out in a well ventilated area and
away from naked flames and sources
of sparks, so as to avoid the risk of
explosion or fire.
Wash your hands after wards.
If your vehicle has an automatic
gearbox, do not try to start the engine
by pushing the vehicle.
General points
Lead-acid starter batteries
Batteries contain harmful substances
such as sulphuric acid and lead.
They must be disposed of in
accordance with regulations and must
not, in any circumstances, be discarded
with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries and
vehicle batteries to a special collection
point.
(+) Positive terminal.
It has a quick-release clamp.
(-) Negative terminal.
As the battery negative terminal is not
accessible, a remote earth point is located on
the structure of the front right wing.

Do not force the lever as locking will
not be possible if the clamp is not
positioned correctly; start the procedure
again.
Quick-release terminal clamp
Disconnecting the (+) terminal
F Ra ise the lever A fully to release the
clamp
B .
F
R
emove the clamp B by lifting it off. The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be
available again after a continuous
period of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a period which depends on the exterior
temperature and the state of charge of
the battery (up to about 8 hours).
In order to maintain an adequate state
of charge for starting the engine, it is
recommended that the battery be disconnected
if the vehicle is taken out of service for a long
period.
Before disconnecting the battery:
F
c
lose all openings (doors, boot, windows),
F
s
witch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, wipers, lighting, etc.),
F
s
witch off the ignition and wait for
four
m
inutes.
At the battery, it is only necessary to
disconnect the (+) terminal.
Disconnecting the battery
After reconnecting the battery, switch on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting to
allow initialisation of the electronic systems.
However, if minor problems persist following
this operation, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you
must yourself initialise or reset certain systems,
such as:
-
t
he remote control or electronic key
(depending on version),
-
t
he electric windows,
-
t
he date and time,
-
t
he radio preset stations.
Following reconnection of the battery
