A few definitions…
This value may vary following a
change in the style of driving or
the relief, resulting in a signifi -
cant change in the current fuel
consumption.
If dashes are displayed continu-
ously while driving in place of the
digits, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop. This function is only displayed
from 20 mph (30 km/h).
Range
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
which can still be travelled
with the fuel remaining in the tank in
relation to the average fuel consump-
tion over the last few miles (kilometres)
travelled.
When the range falls below 20 miles
(30 km), dashes are displayed. After
fi lling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the
range is recalculated and is displayed
when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel con-
sumption during the last few
seconds.
Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel con-
sumption since the last trip
computer zero reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
This is the average speed calcu-
lated since the last trip computer
zero reset (ignition on).
Distance travelled
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
travelled since the last trip
computer zero reset.
Stop & Start time counter
(minutes/seconds or hours/
minutes)
If your vehicle is fi tted with Stop & Start,
a time counter calculates the time spent
in STOP mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition
is switched on with the key.
The fuel consumption of your
vehicle will be higher than
the offi cial fi gures obtained
by CITROËN during the fi rst
3 000 miles (5 000 km) of the
vehicle's life.

9. "REST" function: ventilation with
the engine off
On switching on the engine
- The control screens come on: the
function is available.
- Pressing the REST
button activates
the ventilation for a few minutes.
Activation of the function is con-
fi rmed by the display of two dashes
in the control screens and four air
fl ow level indicator lamps.
- The function can be deactivated and
reactivated if the control screens
are on.
- The screens go off at the end of this
period. Even with the engine is off,
you can operate the ventila-
tion for a few minutes.
For example, while you are
away from the vehicle, the
passengers can still enjoy some air cir-
culation without having the engine run-
ning.
This function is available after switching
on the ignition, as well as after stopping
the engine.
The period that the function is available
depends on the state of charge of the
battery.
You can activate the "REST" func-
tion while the air conditioning control
screens are on.

As soon as possible, press this but-
ton again to permit the intake of out-
side air and prevent the formation of
condensation. The indicator lamp in

Anti-theft protection
Electronic engine immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip
which has a special 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.
In the event of a fault, you
are informed by illumina-
tion of this warning lamp,
an audible signal and a message in the
screen.
In this case, your vehicle will not start;
contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as
possible.
Starting the vehicle
Insert the key in the ignition switch.
The system recognises the starting
code.
Turn the key fully towards the dash-
board to position 3 (Starting)
.
When the engine starts, release
the key.
A heavy object (key fob...), attached to the key and weighing down on
its shaft in the ignition switch, could
cause a malfunction.
Switching the vehicle off
Immobilise the vehicle.
Turn the key fully towards you to
position 1 (Stop)
.
Remove the key from the ignition
switch.
Key left in the "Ignition on"
position
On opening the driver's door, an alert
message is displayed, accompa-
nied 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 automati-
cally after one hour.
To switch the ignition back on, turn
the key to position 1 (Stop)
, then
back to position 2 (Ignition on)
.
Keep safely, away from your
vehicle, the label attached to the
keys given to you on acquisition
of the vehicle.

ately for a few seconds.

Lost keys
Go to a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's registration document, your
personal identifi cation documents and if possible the key code label.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to look up the key code and the transponder
code required to order a new key.
Do not throw the remote con-
trol batteries away, they contain
metals which are harmful to the
environment.
Take them to an approved col-
lection point.
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is a sensitive system; do not operate
it while it is in your pocket as there is a possibility that it may unlock the
vehicle, without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your remote control out of range and
out of sight of 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 compart-
ment by the emergency services more diffi cult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution, never leave children alone in the vehicle, except for
a very short period.
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 modifi cations 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.
