Access

Do not throw the remote control batteries away, they contain metals which are harmful to the environment.
Take them to an approved collection point.
Lost keys, remote control, electronic key
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's V5 registration document and your personal identification documents.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to retrieve the key code and the transponder code required to order a replacement.
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.
The remote control does not operate when the key is in the ignition, even when the ignition is switched off.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment by the emergency services more difficult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on board), remove the key from the ignition or take the electronic key when you leave the vehicle, even
for a short time.
Electrical interference
The Keyless Entry and Starting electronic key may not operate if close to certain electronic devices: telephone, laptop computer, strong
magnetic fields, ...
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system; this could cause malfunctions.
Don't forget to turn the steering to engage the steering lock.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the key codes memorised by a CITROËN dealer, to ensure that the keys in your possession are the only ones which can start
the vehicle.

Triggering of the alarm
This is indicated by sounding of the siren
and flashing of the direction indicators for
thirty seconds.
The monitoring functions remain active until
the alarm has been triggered eleven times in
succession.
When the vehicle is unlocked using the remote
control or the Keyless Entry and Starting
system, rapid flashing of the indicator lamp
in the button informs you that the alarm was
triggered during your absence. When the
ignition is switched on, this flashing stops
immediately.
Failure of the remote control

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very
high, first ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F

T

o obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles
located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well
as the air extractor located in the boot.
F

D

o not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation
of the air conditioning system.
F

O

perate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month
to keep it in per fect working order.
F

E

nsure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly.
W

e recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its
special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the
occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
F

T

o ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
it checked regularly as recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.
F

I

f the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the
air conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability. The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge
of water under the vehicle which is
per fectly normal.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems only work when the engine is running. To maintain
a comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment, you can temporarily deactivate
the Stop & Start system (see the corresponding section).
Comfort

"LO" is displayed or to
the right until "HI" is displayed.
See "Front demisting - defrosting".
3. Passenger's side adjustment
The driver and front passenger can
each adjust the temperature to their
requirements.
The value indicated on the display
corresponds to a level of comfort and not to a
temperature in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
F

T

urn control 2 or 3 to the left or to the right
respectively to decrease or increase this
value.
A setting around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However, depending on your
requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is
normal.
You are advised to avoid a left / right setting
difference of more than 3.
Manual operation
If you wish, you can make a different choice
from that offered by the system by changing
a setting. The the "AUTO" indicator lamps go
off; the other functions will still be controlled
automatically.

Switching the system off
F Turn the air flow control to the left until all of the indicator
lamps go off.
This switch does not operate the air conditioning, only the air fan.
When the "REST" function is activated, you cannot modify the temperature, air flow
and distribution settings: these are controlled automatically according to the ambient
temperature.
This function is not available in the STOP mode of Stop & Start. Avoid prolonged operation in interior
air recirculation mode or driving for
long periods with the system off (risk of
misting and deterioration of air quality).

173
Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you
to obtain the optimum braking pressure more
quickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake
pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency.When braking in an emergency, press
firmly without releasing the pressure.
Trajectory control systems
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and dynamic stability
control (DSC)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as traction
control) optimises traction to prevent skidding
of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the
driving wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability control acts on the brake
of one or more wheels and on the engine to
keep the vehicle on the trajectory required by
the driver, within the limits of the laws of physics.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem. This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
Depending on version, your vehicle has a
system to help driving on snow: intelligent
traction control .
This system detects situations of difficult
sur face adhesion that could make it difficult to
move off or make progress on deep fresh snow
or compacted snow.
In these situations, the intelligent traction
control limits the amount of wheel slip to
provide the best traction and trajectory control
for your vehicle.
The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on sur faces offering low
levels of adhesion.
