Starting the engine
Wait until this warning lamp goes off in the 
instrument panel then operate the starter 
motor by turning the key to position 3 
without pressing the accelerator pedal, 
until the engine starts. Once the engine is 
running, release the key.
With the parking brake applied and the gearbox 
in neutral or position N or P:
F  depress the clutch pedal fully (manual 
gearbox),
 or
F  press the brake pedal firmly (automatic 
gearbox),
F  insert the key into the ignition switch; the 
system recognises the code,
F  unlock the steering column by simultaneously 
turning the steering and the key.
F  With a petrol engine, operate the starter 
motor by turning the key to position 3 
without pressing the accelerator pedal, 
until the engine starts. Once the engine is 
running, release the key. Never leave the engine running in 
an enclosed area without adequate 
ventilation: internal combustion 
engines emit toxic exhaust gases, 
such as carbon monoxide. Danger of 
intoxication and death!
In very severe wintry conditions 
(temperatures below -23°C), to ensure 
the correct operation and durability of 
the mechanical components of your 
vehicle, engine and gearbox, it is 
necessary to leave the engine running 
for 4 minutes before moving off.
In wintry conditions, the warning lamp 
can stay on for a longer period. When 
the engine is hot, the warning lamp 
does not come on.
In certain cases, you may have to apply 
more force to the steering (wheels on 
full lock, for example). F 
With a Diesel engine, turn the key to 
position 2 , ignition on, to operate the 
engine pre-heating system.
If the engine does not start straight 
away, switch off the ignition. Wait a 
few moments before operating the 
starter motor again. If the engine does 
not start after several attempts, do not 
keep trying: you risk damaging the 
starter motor or the engine. Contact 
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop. In temperate conditions, do not leave 
the engine at idle to warm up but move 
off straight away and drive at moderate 
speed.

Do not flick the accelerator at the 
moment of switching off the ignition. 
This could cause serious damage to the 
turbocharger(s).
Vehicles equipped with a 
turbocharger
Never stop the engine without having allowed it 
to run for a few seconds at idle, this being the 
time required for the turbocharger to return to a 
normal speed.Energy economy mode
After switching off the engine (position 1- Stop), 
for a maximum of 30 minutes you can still use 
functions such as the audio and telematic 
system, the wipers, dipped beam headlamps,

When you leave the vehicle, keep the 
key with you and lock the vehicle. To facilitate unlocking of the steering 
column, it is recommended that the 
wheels be returned to the straight ahead 
position before switching off the engine.
Never switch off the ignition before the 
vehicle is at a complete stop. With the 
engine off, the braking and steering 
assistance systems are also cut off: risk 
of loss of control of the vehicle. For more information, refer to the 
"Practical information" section, under 
"Energy economy mode".
F  Check that the parking brake is correctly 
applied, particularly on sloping ground.

Manual parking brake
Mechanical device for immobilising the vehicle when stationary.This warning lamp comes on if the 
parking brake is engaged or not fully 
released.
If the parking brake is released, the 
illumination of this warning lamp along with 
the STOP  warning lamp indicates that the 
brake fluid level is low or a fault with the brake 
force distributor.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Application
F  Pull the parking brake lever up to 
immobilise your vehicle.
To facilitate the action on the lever, you are 
recommended to press the brake pedal at the 
same time.

The loss of pressure detected does not 
always lead to visible deformation of the 
tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.The alert is maintained until the tyre or 
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired 
or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or a 
steel rim) does not have a sensor.
Under-inflation alert
The aler t is given by the fixed illumination 
of this warning lamp, accompanied by 
an audible signal, and depending on 
equipment, the display of a message.
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres, 
the symbol or the message appears, according 
to equipment, to identify it.
F 
Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering 
movements or harsh brake applications.
F  Stop as soon as it is safe to do so. F 
If you have a compressor (the one in the 
temporary puncture repair kit for example), 
check the four tyre pressures when cold.
  If it is not possible to check the tyre 
pressures at the time, drive carefully at 
reduced speed.
 or
F  In the event of a puncture, use the 
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare 
wheel (according to equipment).
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed 
illumination of the under-inflation 
warning lamp accompanied by 
the illumination of the service warning lamp 
indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is 
not assured.
This alert is also displayed when one or more 
wheels is not fitted with a sensor (for example, 
a space-saver or steel spare wheel).
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the system checked 
or, following the repair of a puncture, to 
have the original wheel, equipped with a 
sensor, refitted.
Any tyre repair or replacement on a 
wheel fitted with this system must be 
carried out by a CITR oËn dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
If after changing a tyre, a wheel is not 
detected by your vehicle (fitting snow 
tyres for example), you must have the 
system reinitialised by a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
