KEYS
It is dangerous to operate the deadlocking when a person is in the vehicle as unlocking is impossible from the inside (without the remote control).
The key number is on the label attached to the key.
Should you lose your key or remote control, a CITROËN dealer can supply replacements.
If you unlock your vehicle using the key because of a problem with the battery, be aware that opening/closing a door with the window closed can seriously damage the glass, even to the point of breaking it. See "Access".
ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER KEY
The key operates all the vehicle’slocks as well as the ignition.Note:For safety reasons, a buzzer will sound if you have switched off the ignition and opened the driver’s
door without having removed the
ignition key.
The ke
y can be used to deactivate
the front passenger’s airbag. See"Airbags".
CENTRAL LOCKING USING THE KEY
A brief action with the key locks the vehicle.
Deadlocking: Central locking using the key
A second action straightaway with the key deadlocks the vehicle. It is then
impossible to open the doors from either inside or outside the vehicle.Note:With the vehicle stationary and the engine switched off, locking is
signalled by the fl ashing of the interior locking control warning lamp.
If any of the doors, or the boot, is open or not properly closed, the central locking does not operate.
ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER
The ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER device locks the engine supply system.
The s
ystem activates automatically as the key is removed from the ignition.
All the vehicle
’s keys contain an electronic immobiliser device.
A
fter you switch on the ignition, a dialogue starts between the key and theelectronic immobiliser device.
If the ke
y is not recognised, you cannot start the vehicle.
If this occurs, leave your vehicle immobilised and contact a CITROËN dealer.

ANTI-INTRUSION ALARM
OPERATING THE ALARM
First make sure all the doors are closed.
The alarm is armed by pressing button Bon the remote control.
With the alarm armed, the protections are active after 5 seconds (perimeter) and 45 seconds (volumetric).
When the alarm is armed (on standby), any intrusion
will trigger the siren for 30 seconds, accompanied by
the direction indicators lighting up.
The alarm then
goes back on standby, but the triggering remains memorised and is signalled by the rapid fl ashing
of the warning lamp on control1 after you have deacti-
vated the alarm with a press on the unlocking button A.The fl ashing stops when you switch on the ignition.
The siren is also triggered if there is a cutting of the electrical supply. To stop it, restore the electrical supply
then press on the unlocking button A.Note:If you want to lock your vehicle without arming the
alarm, just lock with the key only.
If you lock your vehicle and a door, or the boot, is still open, the central locking does not operate but the alarm will arm itself after approx. 45 seconds.Note:The siren is automatically deactivated (for exam-ple for disconnecting the battery) as soon as the vehicle is unlocked using the remote control.

Deactivating the volumetric detection
You can operate the alarm with perimeter protection
only, by deactivating the volumetric protection (if for example you wish to leave an animal in the vehicle).
For this, switch o
ff the ignition then immediately pressbutton1 for at least one second.
The warning lamp on button1should come perma-nently on. It will start to fl ash when the alarm is armed.
Arm the alarm b
y locking your vehicle with the remotecontrol.
It is recommended to deactivate the volumetric detec-
tion when washing the vehicle in order to prevent the
random triggering of the alarm.
Automatic activation (according to destination)
The alarm is armed automatically, 2 minutes after the
last door, or the boot, has been closed.
In order to prevent the alarm from triggering when you
open one of the doors or the boot, it is essential to press
the unlocking button A again on the remote control.

LOCKING/UNLOCKING
FROM THE INSIDE
A press on the controlA operates
the electric central locking andunlocking, provided all the doorsare closed.
It is still possible to open the doorsfrom the inside.
Note: ControlAis inactive if thevehicle has been locked using theremote control or the key.
The three statuses for locking/unlock-ing the vehicle are signalled by the
warning lamp on the control A:It fl ashes when the vehicle is
locked, engine stopped.
It lights up when the ignition is switched on, vehicle locked.It goes out when the vehicle is unlocked.

ACCESS
ANTI-THEFT PROTECTION
When you start the vehicle, doors
and boot closed, the system
automatically locksthe doorsas soon as you reach a speed of
around 6 mph (10 km/h).Note: If a door has been opened, this will lock again automatically whenthe vehicle reaches approx. 6 mph(10 km/h).
Activation/Deactivation of
the anti-intrusion protection
Give a long press on control Afor central locking until you see a mes-sage displayed.ANTI-THEFT
The boot locks automatically as soon as the vehicle reaches a
speed of around6 mph (10 km/h).Note: The opening of a door or use of the control A unlocks the vehicle.
Your vehicle is fi tted with doors that have frameless windows. When you open the doors, immediately youaction the exterior handle, a micro-descent device on the SIDE WINDOWS lowers the glass slightly.
If this device were not working properly, it could result in thewindows breaking:If there should be a battery failure:
Open the doors gently.Do not close the door abruptly as this risks breaking the window, if possible wait until the battery ispowering the vehicle again.If you are intending to work on the battery, open the windows fi rst.In freezing conditions, ice may form to hinder the operation of the micro-descent device. If the actionon the door handle does not move the window down, it is essential fi rst to free the ice.

The programmable heating sys-
tem operates independently of theengine.
With the engine off, it is used topreheat the engine cooling systemso as to have an optimum engine
operating temperature on starting.
The programmable heating sys-
tem is started using a long-rangeremote control. It can be startedimmediately or programmed tostart later.
In the event of a malfunction of the programmable heating sys-tem, contact a CITROËN dealer pg gy
or a qualifi ed workshop.
Remote control
The remote control for the program-
mable heating system includes the following buttons and display infor-
mation:1. Menu function scroll buttons.
2. Function symbols: clock,
temperature, operating duration, programmed time, heater operation, heater control.3. Digital display of: time,
temperature, operating
duration, programmed time
or heating level.4. Off button.5. On button.

FUEL
If you should put in fuel that is not suitable for your vehicle'sengine type, it is imperative to have the tank drained beforeyou start the engine again.
While you are refuelling, theengine must be stopped and the
ignition switched off.
When you are seeking to fi ll your
tank, do not persist after the
third cut-off; that could cause
your vehicle to malfunction.
Fuel must be added in quantitiesof more than 5 litres to be reco-gnised by the fuel gauge.
To open the fl ap, press button A. Undo the cap and attach it to the
tab on the inside of the fl ap.
Opening the cap can trigger a
vacuum. This results in a noise caused by the sealing of the fuel circuit.Note: The fuel fl ap is locked when you lock your vehicle with the remote control.
FUEL QUALITY
A label inside the fi ller fl ap tells you
which type of fuel to use.
Quality of the fuel used for Diesel engines
The Diesel engines are perfectlycompatible with biofuels whichconform to current and futureEuropean standards (Diesel fuel
which complies with standard EN
590 mixed with a biofuel whichcomplies with standard EN 14214)which can be distributed at thepumps (possible incorporation of 0
to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
The use of an
y other type of (bio)fuel (vegetable or animal oils,
domestic fuel oil, etc.) is strictlyprohibited (risk of damage to theengine and fuel circuit).
