ACCESSES

REMOTE CONTROL

This locks and unlocks the locks on the vehicle and starts the engine.

Unlocking

Press this button once to unlock the front doors.

Press this button again to unlock your vehicle completely.

The direction indicators ﬂ ash twice.

Unlocking the load space

Press this button to unlock all of the rear doors.

Security of use

To unlock the load space only:

Press this control to lock the vehicle completely.

Press this control to unlock the load space, the front doors alone remain locked.

Accesses

Central locking

Press this button to lock the vehicle completely.

The direction indicators ﬂ ash once.

If one of the doors is open (transportation of long loads) or is not closed correctly, the central locking will not work.

Deadlocking

A second press on the closed padlock

on the remote control within ﬁ ve

seconds after locking changes the locking to deadlocking.

This is conﬁ rmed by ﬁ xed 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 using the remote control, it will change to normal locking when the vehicle is started.

Accesses

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.

REMOTE CONTROL

Programming the remote control

Following changing of the remote control battery or disconnection of the vehicle battery, the remote control may have to be reprogrammed.

Wait at least one minute before using the remote control.

Insert the key in the ignition switch with the buttons (padlocks) of the remote control facing you.

Switch on the ignition. Press the locking padlock for at least

ﬁ ve seconds within the next ten

seconds. Switch off the ignition. Wait at least one minute before using

the remote control. The remote control is now working

again.

Use only identical batteries or batteries of an equivalent type to those recommended by CITROËN dealers.

Do not discard the remote control batteries, they contain metals which are harmful to the environment.

Deposit them at a CITROËN dealership, or at any other approved collection point.

Folding/unfolding the key

Changing the battery

Battery ref.: CR1620/3 volts.

The information "battery ﬂ at" is given

by an audible signal, accompanied by a message on the display.

To replace the battery, unclip the casing using a coin at the ring.

If the remote control does not work after the battery has been changed, reprogramme the remote control.

There is a risk of damage if the replacement battery does not conform.

Press this button to release the key from its housing.

To fold the key, press this chromed button then fold

the key into the housing. If you do not press the button, the mechanism may be damaged.

Accesses

When purchasing a second-hand vehicle:

- have the keys memorised by a CITROËN dealer to ensure that the keys in your possession are the only ones which can start the vehicle.

Good practice

Do not make any modiﬁ cations to the

electronic immobiliser system. Operating the remote control, even

when it is in your pocket, may result in involuntary unlocking of the doors.

The simultaneous use of other high frequency equipment (mobile telephones, domestic alarms…), may interfere with the operation of the remote control temporarily.

ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER

All of the keys contain an electronic immobiliser device.

This device locks the engine supply system. It is activated automatically when the key is removed from the ignition.

After the ignition is switched on, a dialogue is established between the key and the electronic immobiliser system.

The metal part of the key must be unfolded correctly for correct dialogue to take place.

If you lose your keys

Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle’s V5 registration document and

your identiﬁ cation document.

A CITROËN dealer will be able to retrieve the key code and the transponder code so that a replacement key can be ordered.

The remote control does not operate while the key is in the ignition, even if the ignition is off.

As a safety precaution (with children on board), remove the key from the ignition when leaving the vehicle, even for a short time.

If ﬁ tted on your vehicle, this provides

two types of protection:

- exterior protection: it sounds if a

front/rear door or the bonnet is opened.

- interior protection: it sounds if the volume inside the passenger compartment changes (breaking of a window or a movement inside the vehicle).

If your vehicle is ﬁ tted with a separation

partition, the interior protection is not active in the load space.

Locking the vehicle with complete alarm

Setting the alarm

- Switch off the ignition and get out of the vehicle.

- Set the alarm within ﬁ ve minutes of

getting out of the vehicle, by locking or deadlocking using the remote control. The red diode, located

on the button, ﬂ ashes once per

second.

Accesses

FRONT DOORS

Disarming

- Unlock the vehicle with the remote control or switch on the ignition, the red diode goes out.

Locking the vehicle with exterior protection only

If, while you are away from the vehicle, you wish to leave a window partially open or a pet inside the vehicle, you

should choose exterior protection only.

- Switch off the ignition.

- In the next ten seconds,

press the button until the red diode is on continuously.

- Get out of the vehicle.

- Within the next ﬁ ve minutes, set

the alarm by locking or deadlocking using the remote control (the red

diode ﬂ ashes once a second).

Triggering

The siren sounds, the direction indicators

ﬂ ash for approximately 30 seconds and the red diode ﬂ ashes rapidly.

- To switch it off, insert the key and switch on the ignition.

When the alarm has been triggered ten times in succession (when triggered for the eleventh time) it is deactivated. Repeat the rules for setting the alarm.

Locking the vehicle without alarm

- Insert the key in the lock on the driver’s door and lock it.

Do not set the alarm when washing your vehicle.

Failure of the remote control

When the alarm is set but the remote control does not operate:

Unlock the doors with the key and

- open the door. The alarm is triggered.

- Switch on the ignition in the

next ten seconds. The alarm is

disarmed.

Incorrect operation

When the ignition is switched on, if the red diode remains on for ten seconds, there is a fault in the siren connection.

Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the system checked.

Automatic setting of the alarm

Depending on the country in which the vehicle is sold, the alarm is set

automatically approximately 2 minutes

after the last door is closed. To prevent triggering of the alarm when

a door is opened, it is imperative to press the remote control unlocking button again.

Do not make any modiﬁ cations

to the alarm system as this could cause faults.

From the outside

Use the remote control to lock/unlock the vehicle.

Insert the metal part of the key in the lock on the driver’s side if the remote control does not work.

From the inside

Use the door opening control to unlock and open the door concerned.

Accesses

From the inside

Unlock and open the side door using this handle, guiding the rearward sliding to the point of resistance. Pass this point to hold the door open.

Good practice

Take care not to block the guide space

on the ﬂ oor to allow the door to slide

correctly. If your vehicle is parked on a slope,

guide the sliding of the side door. In fact, the door could open or close more rapidly due to the slope of the ground and could cause injury.

For safety and operation reasons, do not drive with the sliding side door open.

From the outside

Pull the handle towards you then towards the rear and open the side door, guiding the rearward sliding to beyond the point of resistance to hold it open.

Accesses

HINGED REAR DOORS

The hinged rear doors are asymmetrical (2/3 - 1/3), with the smaller door on the right.

They are ﬁ tted with a central lock.

From outside

To open, pull the handle towards you.

Pull the lever to open the right-hand door.

To close, start with the right-hand door then close the left-hand door.

With the roof rear ﬂ ap, the rear

bumper has been strengthened to serve as a footrest on accessing the vehicle.

Practice

It is possible to drive with the right-hand door open to make the transportation of long loads easier. The left-hand door is kept closed by the distinctive "yellow" lock, positioned at the base of the door. This closed door must not be used as a load retainer.

Driving with the right-hand door open is a special dispensation. Comply with the usual safety indications to attract the attention of other drivers.

Accesses

From inside

Pull the handle towards you to open the left-hand door.

Opening to approximately 180°

A check strap system permits extension of the opening from approximately 90° to approximately 180°.

Pull the yellow control when the door is open.

The check strap will re-attach automatically on closing.

Accesses

REAR ROOF FLAP

This rear roof ﬂ ap is only compatible

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 60 litres.

- 0: the reserve is now being

used, the warning light comes on continuously. The reserve when

the warning ﬁ rst comes on is approximately 8 litres.

The needle is positioned between the blue zone and 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 needle enters the red zone:

Reduce your speed or let the engine run at idle.

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 7.

Refer to the "Fuel" section of chapter 7.

Instruments and controls

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 speciﬁ c

warning light on the instrument panel. There is a risk of damage to the

catalytic converter. Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer.

Sensors check the tyre pressure during driving (speed higher than 12 mph [20 km/h]) and trigger a warning in the event of a malfunction or puncture.

Any anomaly detected

(ﬂ at or punctured tyre,

malfunction of a sensor) is indicated by visual and audible information and is accompanied by a message on the display.

Flat tyre

Check the tyre pressure as soon as possible.

Puncture

Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden movement of the steering wheel and the brakes.

Change the damaged (punctured or

very deﬂ ated) tyre, and have the tyre

pressure checked as soon as possible.

Refer to the "Changing a wheel" section of chapter 8.

If the damaged tyre is temporarily stored inside the vehicle, it will again emit this message to remind you of the necessity of having it repaired. This will prevent another warning of the same type being displayed.

Sensor(s) not detected

Under-inﬂ ation detection is absent

from one (or several) tyre(s). Contact a CITROËN dealer to replace the faulty sensor(s).

This message is also displayed when one of the tyres is away from the vehicle (being repaired) or when a

wheel without a sensor is ﬁ tted.

All repairs and changing of tyres on a

wheel ﬁ tted with this system must be

carried out by a CITROËN dealer. The tyre under-inﬂ ation detection

system is a driving aid which does not take the place of vigilance or the responsibility of the driver.

This system does not remove the need to have the tyre pressure checked regularly (including the spare wheel), to ensure that the dynamic performance of the vehicle remains at its best and to avoid premature wear of the tyres, in particular in the case of arduous driving (heavy load, high speed).

The system may temporarily be disturbed by radio broadcasts on a frequency close to it.
