d emands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.

t emperature of the coolant.

capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.

speed.

Anti-theft protection
Electronic 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 moments
after the ignition is switched off, and prevents
starting of the engine by anyone who does not
have the key.
In the event of a
malfunction, you are informed
by a
message in the instrument panel screen.
If this happens, your vehicle will not start;
contact a
CITROËN dealer if required.
