Electronic engine immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip which has a special  code.  When  the  ignition  is  switched Â
o
n,  this  code  must  be  recognised  in  order  for Â
s
tarting  to  be  possible.
This
 electronic  engine  immobiliser  locks  the Â
e
ngine  management  system  a  few  moments Â
a
fter  the  ignition  is  switched  off  and  prevents Â
s
tarting  of  the  engine  by  anyone  who  does  not Â
h

informed
 by  illumination  of  this Â
w

a

Avoid
 attaching  heavy  objects  to  the Â

Starting the engine
In some circumstances, you may have to  apply  some  force  to  turn  the  steering Â
w
heel  (wheels  on  lock  for  example).In
 wintry  conditions,  the  warning  lamp Â
w
ill  stay  on  longer.  When  the  engine  is Â
h
ot,  it  does  not  come  on.In  temperate  conditions,  do  not Â
w
arm  the  engine  up  with  the  vehicle Â
s
tationary,  but  move  off  straight  away Â
a
nd  drive  at  moderate  engine  speeds.
If  the  engine  does  not  start  straight  a
way,  switch  the  ignition  off.  Wait  a Â
f
ew  moments  before  trying  again.  If Â
t
he  engine  does  not  start  after  a  few Â
a
ttempts,  do  not  keep  trying:  you  risk Â
d
amaging  the  starter  motor  and  the Â
e
ngine.  Call  on  a  CITROËN  dealer  or  a Â
q
ualified

v
entilation:
 in
ternal

s
uch  as  carbon  monoxide.  Danger  of Â
i
ntoxication  and  death.  In  very  severe Â
w
inter  conditions  (temperatures  b
elow -23°C),  it  is  necessary  to  allow  t
he  engine  to  run  for  4  minutes  before Â
s
etting  off,  in  order  to  ensure  the Â
c
orrect  operation  and  durability  of Â
t
he  mechanical  components  of  your Â
v
ehicle,  the  engine  and  gearbox.
F
Â
W
ith  a  petrol  engine,  operate  the  starter Â
m
otor  by  turning  the  key  to  position  3 until
the
 engine  starts,  without  pressing  the Â
a
ccelerator  pedal.  Once  the  engine  starts, Â
r
elease  the  key.
F
Â
W
ith  a  Diesel  engine,  turn  the  key  to Â

Â
until  the  engine  starts,  without
 p
ressing  the  accelerator  pedal.  Once

 you  leave  the  vehicle,  take  the Â
k

For  more  information,  refer  to  the Â
"

Key reminder
If the key is left in the ignition switch, an audible  signal  sounds  when  the  driver's Â
d
oor  is  opened.

After switching off the engine (position 1
- Stop),
 you  can  still  use  functions Â
s

Stop & StartThe Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine  restarts  automatically  -  START  mode  -  as  soon  as  you  want  to  move  off.  The  restart  takes  place  instantly,  quickly  and  silently.
Per fect
 for  urban  use,  the  Stop  &  Start  system  reduces  fuel  consumption  and  exhaust  emissions  as  well  as  the  noise  level  when  stationary.
Operation
going into engine STOP mode
For your comfort, during parking manoeuvres,  STOP  mode  is  not Â
a
vailable  for  a  few  seconds  after Â
c
oming  out  of  reverse  gear.
STOP
 mode  does  not  affect  the Â
f
unctionality of the vehicle, such as for
example,
 braking,  power  steering...
Never
 refuel  with  the  engine  in  STOP Â
m
ode;  you  must  switch  off  the  ignition Â
w
