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.In the event of a fault, you are 
informed by illumination 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-switching off the engine
Keep safely, away from your vehicle, 
the label attached to the keys given to 
you on acquisition of the vehicle.
Ignition switch
It has 3 positions:
- position  1 (Stop): insert and removing 
the key,
- position  2 (Ignition on) : steering column 
unlocked, ignition on, Diesel preheating, 
engine running,
- position  3 (Starting).
Ignition on position
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric 
equipment or portable devices to be charged.
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.
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.
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.

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.
