REMOTE CONTROL
Central unlocking
Press this button to unlock your

The direction indicators flash
twice and the exterior mirrors
unfold (unless folding was selected using
the interior control, refer to the "Mirrors and
windows" section of chapter 3).
Central locking
Press this button to lock your
vehicle, cab and rear doors.
The direction indicators flash
once and the exterior mirrors fold.
If one of the doors is open or is not closed
correctly, the central locking will not work.
Deadlocking
If your vehicle is fitted with deadlocking,
a second press on the closed padlock on
the remote control within five seconds after
locking changes the locking to deadlocking.
This is confirmed by fixed lighting of the
direction indicators for approximately
two seconds.
Deadlocking renders the exterior and interior
door opening handles inoperative: do not
leave anyone inside the vehicle when it is
deadlocked.
If deadlocking is activated from inside the
vehicle, it will change to normal locking
when the vehicle is started.
Folding/unfolding the key
Press this button to release the
key from its housing.
To fold the key, press the
chromed button then fold the key
into the housing. If you do not press the
button, the mechanism may be damaged.
Good practice
Take care not to allow the remote control to
come into contact with grease, dust, rain or
a damp environment.
A heavy object attached to the key (keyring, ...)
weighing on the shaft of the key in the switch,
may cause a malfunction.

FUEL GAUGE
COOLANT TEMPERATURE
The fuel level is tested each time the key is
turned to the "running" position.
The gauge is positioned on:
- 1: the fuel tank is full, approximately
80 litres.
- 0: the reserve is now being used, the
warning light comes on continuously.
The needle is positioned before the red zone: normal operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic
conditions, the needle may move close to
the red graduations.
What you should do if the warning light comes on:
- stop immediately, switch off the ignition.
The fan may continue to operate for
a certain time up to approximately
10 minutes,
- wait for the engine to cool down in order
to check the coolant level and top it up if
necessary.
As the cooling system is pressurised, follow
this advice in order to avoid any risk of
scalding:
- wait at least one hour after switching off
the engine before carrying out any work,
- unscrew the cap by 1/4 turn to allow the
pressure to drop,
- when the pressure has dropped, check
the level on the expansion bottle,
- if necessary, remove the cap to top up.
If the needle remains in the red zone, have
the system checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Refer to the "Levels" section of chapter 6.
The reserve when the warning first comes
on is approximately 8 litres.
Refer to the "Fuel" section of chapter 6.
What you should do if the needle enters the red zone:
Reduce your speed or let the engine run at

SERVICE INDICATOR
EMISSION CONTROL
EOBD (European On Board
Diagnosis) is a diagnostics system
which complies with, among
others, the standards concerning
authorised emissions of:
- CO (carbon monoxide),
- HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
- NOx (nitrogen oxides) or particles,
detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream and downstream of the
catalytic converters.
Therefore, the driver is warned of any
malfunction of this emission control system
by the lighting of this specific warning lamp
on the instrument panel.
There is a risk of damage to the catalytic
converter. Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer.
This programmes service intervals according
to the use of the vehicle.
The points at which a service is due are
calculated from the last indicator zero reset.
The point at which a service is due is
determined by two parameters:
- the distance travelled,
- the time which has elapsed since the
last service.
The distance remaining before the next
service may be weighted by the time
factor, depending on the driver's driving
habits.
More than 1 000 miles/km before the next
service is due
Example: 4 800 miles/km remain before
the next service is due. When the ignition
is switched on and for a few seconds, the
display shows:
Less than 1 000 miles/km before the next
service is due
Each time the ignition is switched on and for a few
seconds, the spanner fl ashes and the number of
miles/kilometres remaining is displayed:
A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the oil level is displayed, then the total
distance recorder resumes normal operation
and the spanner remains lit. This indicates
that a service should be carried out shortly.

Each time the ignition is switched
on and for a few seconds, the

AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING WITH SEPARATE ADJUSTMENTS
Good practice
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible to exceed
the value 15 by turning until LO is displayed or
the value 27 by turning until HI is displayed.
For optimum comfort, the difference between
the value displayed for the driver and for the
passenger should not be greater than 3.
If your vehicle is fitted with this control
panel, it is located on the centre console.
On entering the vehicle, the inside
temperature may be much colder (or
warmer) than is comfortable. There is no
advantage in changing the value displayed
in order to quickly reach the level of comfort
required. The system will use its maximum
performance to reach the comfort value set.

In accordance with the comfort value
selected, the system controls the
distribution, the fl ow and the intake of air to guarantee
comfort and a suffi cient circulation of air in the
passenger compartment. No further action on your part
is required. No further action on your part is required.
When the engine is cold, to prevent an
excessive diffusion of cold air, the ventilation
will reach its optimum level gradually.
For your comfort, the settings are stored
when the ignition is switched off and are
reinstated the next time the vehicle is
started, if the temperature in the passenger
compartment has not changed significantly;
otherwise, operation resumes in automatic
mode.
Driver or passenger side comfort value
The value indicated on the display
corresponds to a level of comfort and
not a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.
Turn this control to the left or to
the right to decrease or increase

Passenger compartment filter,
Air conditioning
For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot
or cool air in the passenger compartment,
there are adjustable central and side vents
which can be directed sideways (right or
left) towards the top of the body. For your
comfort while driving, do not close them,
direct the flow of air towards the windows
instead.
The air vents directed towards the floor of
the vehicle complete the equipment.
Ensure that this fi lter is in good condition and
have all of the fi lter elements replaced regularly.
Refer to the "Checks" section of
chapter 6.
In all seasons, the air conditioning should
only be used with the windows closed.
However, if the interior temperature remains
high after a prolonged period parked in
the sun, do not hesitate to ventilate the
passenger compartment for a few minutes.
Use the AUTO mode as much as
possible as it permits optimised control
of all of the functions: air flow, passenger
compartment comfort temperature,
air distribution, air intake mode or air
recirculation in the passenger compartment.
Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to
10 minutes, once or twice a month, to keep
it in perfect working order.
It is normal that the condensation created by
the air conditioning system results in a flow
of water which may form a puddle under the
vehicle when parked.
If the system does not produce cold air, do
not use it and consult a CITROËN dealer.

ADDITIONAL HEATING
Vehicles fitted with an HDi engine may be
fitted with a heater. When the engine is at
idle or the vehicle is stationary, it is normal
to notice a high-pitched whistling noise and
a slight emission of smoke and odour.
Rear ventilation
Coolant circuit heater
This is an additional and autonomous
system which heats the diesel engine hot
coolant loop to make starting easier.
It improves the de-icing and demisting
performance.
Ventilation
Good practice
To avoid any risk of poisoning or
asphyxiation, the heater must not be used,
even for short periods, in an enclosed space
such as a garage or workshop which is not
fitted with an exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on an inflammable
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, paper…),
there is a risk of fire.
The temperature near the heater must not
exceed 120 °C. A temperature higher than
this (for example in the case of painting in
an oven) could damage the components of
the electronic circuits.
The heater is supplied by the vehicle's fuel
tank. Ensure that the fuel gauge indicator
light is not at reserve.
Have the heater checked at least
once a year at the beginning of winter.
Maintenance and repairs should only be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer. Use
recommended replacement parts only.

Rear suspension with pneumatic
1 - Automatic correction of the
This equipment adopts long movement limiters
which make it possible to guarantee stable
behaviour both when loaded and when empty.
No action on your part is required except to
ensure that maintenance is carried out and that
the authorised loads are complied with.
If fitted on your vehicle, this type of
suspension regulates the variations in the
height of the rear platform of your vehicle
irrespective of the weight of the load, within
the limit of the authorised values. On board,
the increasing or lightening of the load on
the vehicle's platform is detected by two
height sensors. When all of the doors are
closed, the sensors trigger the automatic
compensation and determine the optimum
height of the sill for the vehicle's driving
conditions.
Two functions
1. Automatic correction
2. Manual correction
The pneumatic suspension automatically
regulates the variations in the height of the
rear platform of your vehicle.
A red warning light on your
instrument panel fl ashes if the
height is not at its optimum level and
requires correction, drive slowly until
this warning light is switched off.
The automatic compensation is temporarily
inactive:
- if a door/the tailgate is open,
- when braking or when stopped at a red
light (brake pedal pressed).
Deactivation of the automatic correction
The control which permits deactivation of the
automatic control is located on the righthand side, at the rear of the vehicle.
With the vehicle stationary:
- press and hold,
- release the control.
Deactivation is confirmed by the diode
which is lit. It remains lit for approximately
30 seconds.
You must deactivate the automatic
correction manually in the following
situations:
- when working underneath the vehicle,
- when changing a wheel,
- when the vehicle is being transported by
lorry, train, ferry, boat, ...
Return to automatic correction
With the vehicle stationary:
- press and hold,
- release the control.
Return to automatic correction is confirmed
by the diode which is switched off.
According to the configurations, a bleep may
be heard during these operations.
Instruments and controls
2 - Manual correction of the height
If your vehicle is fitted with this adjustment,
the control is located on the right-hand side
at the rear of the vehicle.
This manual adjustment permits "lowering"
or "raising" of the height of the sill of the rear
platform to facilitate operations in a parking
area.
This adjustment of the height of the sill is
restricted by a lower limit and an upper limit.
Carry out these operations with the vehicle
still stationary and:
- with the front and side doors closed,
- with the handbrake applied,
- do not leave your foot on the brake
pedal.
First use
To initialise the function, press the control
for approximately 2 seconds.
Lower: downwards adjustment
of the platform sill
Press the control downwards
continuously.
Release the button to stop the movement,
"3 bleeps" indicate that you have reached
the maximum limit, the movement stops
automatically.
Raise: upwards adjustment of
the platform sill
Press the control upwards
continuously.
Release the button to stop the movement,
"3 bleeps" indicate that you have reached
the maximum limit, the movement stops
automatically.
Operating faults
If the load sill is not adjusted when the
control is pressed, "3 bleeps" indicate a
malfunction for the following reasons:
- foot on the brake pedal with the key in
the ignition,
- excessive use of the manual correction,
- low battery charge,
- failure of the system.
If the audible signal persists, contact a
CITROËN dealer.
Return to the optimum sill height
Press the control up or down twice in
succession, the opposite of the position of
the load sill.
Instruments and controls
Deactivation of the manual correction
Good practice
With the vehicle stationary:
- press and hold,
- release the control.
Deactivation is confirmed by
the diode which is lit. It remains lit for
approximately 30 seconds.
Return to manual correction
With the vehicle stationary:
- press and hold,
- release the control.
Return to manual correction is
confirmed by the diode which is switched off.
According to the configurations, a bleep may
be heard during these operations.
You must deactivate the manual
correction in the following situations:
- when working underneath the vehicle,
- when changing a wheel,
- when the vehicle is being transported by
lorry, train, ferry, boat, ...
When stationary and with the ignition key
removed, excessive use of the system
consumes battery charge.
Driving with the height of the rear platform:
- too low, risks damaging the technical
components underneath the vehicle,
- too high, risks unstable driving.
If you start and the warning light flashes,
to switch it off:
- correct the position of the manual
control which is still at the lower or
upper limit,
- or drive slowly at above 6 mph (10 km/h),
until the compensation returns to
automatic mode.
Parking for a long duration
Avoid parking for a long duration on ground
which could present a potential obstacle as
your vehicle could lower.
Following a long period out of use, the
height of the platform may change due to the
automatic compensation on unlocking or on
opening one of your vehicle's doors.

Engage reverse gear
Activation/Deactivation
REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
Operating fault
Good practice
Stop the assistance
assistance consists of four proximity
sensors, installed in the rear bumper. The
sensors detect any obstacle which enters
the field: person, vehicle, tree, fence, behind
the vehicle during the manoeuvre.
Certain objects detected at the beginning of
the manoeuvre will no longer be detected
at the end of the manoeuvre due to the
blind spots between and below the sensors.
Examples: stake, roadworks cone or
pavement post.
An audible signal confirms the activation
of the system by engaging reverse gear.
The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more rapid as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
When the distance between the rear of
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately thirty centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous.
Display on the screen
You can activate or deactivate the
system by pressing this button.
The activation or deactivation of
the system is stored when the
vehicle stops.
In the event of an operating fault, when
reverse gear is engaged the diode on
the button comes on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message on the
display. Consult a CITROËN dealer.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow.
The system will be deactivated automatically
if a trailer is being towed or if a bicycle
carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a
towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by
CITROËN).
The parking assistance cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
Good practice
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA)
The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force
distribution) systems improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.
The ABS prevents locking of the wheels,
the EBFD provides control of the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock. It does not reduce the braking
distance.
On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil, etc...)
the ABS may increase the braking distance.
When braking in an emergency, do not
hesitate to press the brake pedal firmly,
without releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able to
continue to manoeuvre the vehicle to avoid
an obstacle.
Normal operation of the ABS may be felt by
slight vibration of the brake pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are recommended by
CITROËN.
If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the display, it
indicates a malfunction of the ABS
which could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle on braking.
If this warning light comes on,
together with the brake and STOP
warning lights, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message
on the display, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution which
could result in a loss of control of the vehicle
on braking.
Stop immediately.
In both cases, contact a CITROËN dealer.
In an emergency, this system enables the
optimum braking pressure to be reached
more quickly, press the pedal firmly without
releasing it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is activated.
This alters the resistance of the brake pedal
under your foot.
To prolong the operation of the emergency
braking assistance system: keep your foot
on the brake pedal.

back on course.
The LED flashes when the ASR or
ESP is triggered.
Operating check
When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the indicator light
comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message on
the display.
Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the
system checked.
The warning light may also come on if the
tyres are under-inflated. Check the pressure
of each tyre.
These systems are linked and complement
the ABS.
The ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and avoiding
losses of control of the vehicle on
acceleration.
The system optimises drive to prevent the
wheels skidding, by acting on the brakes of
the drive wheels and on the engine. It also
allows the directional stability of the vehicle
to be improved on acceleration.
Use the ESP to hold your course without
attempting to countersteer.
If there is a variation between the trajectory
followed by the vehicle and that required
by the driver, the ESP system automatically
In certain exceptional conditions (starting
the vehicle when stuck in mud or snow, or
on loose ground...), it could prove useful to
disarm the ASR and ESP systems to make
the wheels spin and regain grip.
- Press the button, located on the centre
console.
- The indicator light comes on: the ASR
and ESP systems no longer act.
They engage again:
- automatically above 30 mph (50 km/h),
- manually by pressing the button again.
The ASR/ESP systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but should not
incite the driver to take risks or to drive at
high speed.
The operation of these systems is ensured
if the recommendations of the manufacturer
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the fitting and repair
procedures within the CITROËN network are
observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer.

the assembly on the driver's seat side and
on the individual passenger seat side.
If your vehicle is fitted with a front bench,
the height of the seat belt associated with
the centre seat cannot be adjusted.
Pull the strap, then insert the tongue into the
buckle.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap.
Press the red button.
Driver's seat belt not fastened
warning light
When the vehicle is started, this
warning light comes on if the
driver has not fastened his seat
belt.
Passenger seat belt not
fastened warning light
If your vehicle is fitted with a front
passenger seat, when the vehicle
is started, this warning light
comes on if the passenger has not fastened
his seat belt.
The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
strapped in securely before moving off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
which automatically adjusts the length of the
strap to your size.
Do not use accessories (clothes pegs, clips,
safety pins, etc.) which permit a clearance
with the seat belt straps.
Ensure that the seat belt is rolled up
correctly after use.
After folding or moving a seat or a rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is
rolled up correctly and that the buckle is
ready to accommodate the tongue.
Depending on the nature and seriousness of
any impact, the pretensioning device may be
triggered before and independently of infl ation
of the airbags. It instantly tightens the seat
belts against the body of the occupants.
Triggering of the pretensioners is
accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.

The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is switched on.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device
which automatically locks the strap in the
event of a collision or emergency braking or
if the vehicle rolls over.
You can unfasten the seat belt by pressing
the red button on the buckle. Guide the seat
belt after unfastening.
The airbag warning light comes on if the
pretensioners are triggered. Consult a
CITROËN dealer.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
- restrain one person only,
- must not be twisted, check by pulling in
front of you with an even movement,
- be tightened as close to the body as
possible.
The upper part of the seat belt should be
positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.
The lap part should be placed as low as
possible on the pelvis.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as they
will not fulfil their role completely. If the
seats are fitted with armrests, the lap part of
the seat belt should always pass under the
armrest.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap firmly.
Recommendations for children:
- use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one metre fifty,
- never allow a child to travel on your lap,
even with the seat belt fastened.
For further information regarding child
seats, refer to the "Children on board"
section of chapter 4.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, your CITROËN dealer
guarantees all work or any checks, from
testing to maintenance, on your seat belt
equipment.
Have the seat belts checked regularly
(even after a minor impact) by a CITROËN
dealer: they must not show any signs of
wear, cutting or fraying and they must not be
transformed or modified.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product, sold
by CITROËN dealers.
The front seats are fitted with pretensioners
and force limiters.
If your vehicle is fitted with a front bench
without front airbag, the centre passenger's
seat belt does not have a pretensioner.
If your vehicle is fitted with an individual seat
and a 2-seat bench, the 3 seats are fitted
with three-point seat belts and inertia reels.
The centre seat has its seat belt guide and
inertia reel integrated with the seat back.
In rows 2 and 3, take care to fasten the
correct seat belt in the correct buckle. Do
not invert the seat belt or the buckle of the
side seats with the buckle or the seat belt of
the centre seat.
Airbags
Airbags only operate when the
AIRBAGS
ignition is switched on.
This equipment only operates once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or
a subsequent accident), the airbag will not
operate.
The triggering of an airbag or airbags
is accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
The airbags have been designed to maximise
the safety of the occupants (with the
exception of the centre seats of rows 2 and 3)
in the event of a serious collision; they work in
conjunction with the force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and analyse the
front and side impacts suffered in the impact
detection zones:
- in the event of a serious impact, the
airbags inflate instantly and protect the
occupants of the vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the airbags
deflate rapidly, so that they do not hinder the
visibility of the occupants nor their possible
exit from the vehicle.
- in the event of a minor or rear impact
and in certain roll-over conditions,
the airbags will not be deployed; the
seat belt alone is sufficient to provide
maximum protection in these situations.
The seriousness of the collision depends on
the nature of the obstacle and the speed of
the vehicle at the moment of impact.
It is imperative that the passenger
airbag is disarmed if a child seat is
installed facing rearwards. Refer to the
"Children on board" section of chapter 4.
Airbags
Good practice
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object...). This could hamper the operation
of the airbags or injure the occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
All work on the airbag system is strictly
forbidden unless it is carried out by qualified
personnel of the CITROËN network.
Side airbags
Only put recommended covers on the seats.
These will not hinder inflation of the side
airbags. Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Do not fix or glue anything to the seat backs.
This could cause injury to the chest or arms
when the side airbag inflates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on the
centre part of the wheel.
Do not allow passengers to place their feet
on the fascia, they risk serious injury if the
airbag is triggered.
Smoke as little as possible as deployment
of the airbags can cause burns or the risk of
injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel
or hit it violently.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns
to the head, chest or arms when an airbag
is triggered cannot be ruled out. In fact, the
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or glue anything to the roof. This
could cause injury to the head when the
curtain airbag inflates.
Do not remove the grab handles installed
on the roof, they play a part in securing the
curtain airbags.
Airbags
Front airbags
The front airbags are incorporated in the
centre of the steering wheel for the driver
and in the fascia for the front passenger.
Activation
They are deployed simultaneously, unless the
passenger's front airbag has been disarmed,
in the event of a serious front impact applied
to all or part of the front impact zone A in
the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on
a horizontal plane directed from the front
towards the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the fascia to
cushion his forward movement.
Disarming
The passenger's front airbag alone can be
disarmed:
- With the ignition switched off , insert
the key into the passenger airbag
disarming switch,
- turn it to the "OFF" position,
- then remove the key keeping the slot in
this position.
The airbag warning light on the
instrument panel is lit throughout
the period of disarming.
To ensure the safety of your child, it
is essential to disarm the passenger
airbag when you install a rear-facing child
seat on the front passenger seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being killed or seriously
injured if the airbag were to inflate.
Reactivation
In the "OFF" position, the passenger airbag
will not be triggered in the event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed, turn
the airbag slot to the "ON" position to
re-activate the airbag and thus ensure the
safety of your passenger in the event of an
impact.
Front airbag fault
If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the display,
contact a CITROËN dealer to
have the system checked.
If the two airbag warning lights are lit
continuously, do not install a rear-facing
child seat. Consult a CITROËN dealer.
