Central unlocking

A short press on button B unlocks your vehicle.

This operation is conﬁrmed by the rapid ﬂashing of the direction indicators

and the lighting of the interior lamp (if the function is activated). It can also

deploy the exterior rear view mirrors.

Central locking - Closing of windows - Deadlocking

- A short press on button A locks your vehicle.

- A long press on button A locks your vehicle and closes the windows.

This operation is conﬁrmed by the direction indicators illuminating for

approx. two seconds and by the interior lamp switching off. This also folds

the exterior rear view mirrors.

If any of the doors, or the boot, is open or not properly closed, central

locking does not operate.

For vehicles equipped with deadlocking, two successive presses on

button A deadlock the vehicle. It is then impossible to open the doors from

either inside or outside the vehicle.

Note: The simultaneous use of

other high frequency equipment

(mobile telephones, domestic

alarms...) may momentarily hinder

the operation of the remote con-

trol.

In the event of a permanent fault,

the remote control should be reini-

tialised. (See next page).

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).

When closing the windows using the remote control,

the user should make sure that nobody is obstructing

the windows from shutting properly.

Guide-me-home lighting

Changing the remote control battery

Unclip the cover to gain access to the battery.

Battery: CR 0523: 3V.

A press on button C operates the

guide-me-home lighting (illumina-

tion of the sidelamps and dipped

beams for approx. one minute).

II

Re-initialisation of the remote control

A second press prior to the end of

this timing cancels the guide-me-

home lighting.

After a change of battery, it is necessary to re-initialise the remote control.

To do that, switch on the ignition and immediately action button A on your

remote control to trigger the action desired. This may take some ten sec-

onds.

Locating of the vehicle

Note: Make a careful note of the numbers for the keys and for the remote

control on the ASSISTANCE card. Keep this in a safe place.

Do not throw away the old batteries. They should be returned to the

CITROËN dealer or deposited in a recognised recycling facility (cam-

era shops etc.).

To locate the vehicle on a carpark,

press button A, the interior lamps

come on and the direction indica-

tors ﬂash for a few seconds. The

vehicle remains locked.

Folding and ejection of the key

Button D is for folding and eject-

ing the key from its housing in the

remote control.

If you do not press on button D,

you could damage the mecha-

nism.

Except when reinitialising, the remote control cannot function

while the key is in the ignition, even when switched off.

Warning: By inadvertently actioning the remote control, when for

example it is in your pocket, you can unlock the vehicle without

your realising it.

However, if none of the doors is opened within thirty seconds

following an unlocking, the doors will automatically relock.

Take care not to place the

remote control in contact

with grease or dust, or leave

it in the rain or in a damp

environment.

A hard object also on the

key ring, pressing on the key

while it is in the ignition, can

cause a malfunction.

Warning: There a is a risk of damage if the replacement battery is

not the correct one.

Only use batteries that are identical or equivalent to those

approved by CITROËN.

38

K E Y S

Central locking using the key

A brief action with the key locks the vehicle.

II

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. A

long action with the key closes the windows.

Note: With the vehicle stationary and the engine switched off, locking is

signalled by the ﬂashing of the interior locking control warning lamp.

If any of the doors, or the boot, is open or not properly closed, central

locking does not operate.

Electronic immobiliser

The ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER device locks the engine supply sys-

tem.

The system activates automatically as the key is removed from the igni-

tion.

All the vehicle’s keys contain an electronic immobiliser device.

After you switch on the ignition, a dialogue starts between the key and

the electronic immobiliser device. The metallic part of the key must be

correctly deployed in order to ensure a successful dialogue.

If the key is not recognised, starting is not possible.

If this occurs, leave your vehicle immobilised and contact a CITROËN

dealer.

Electronic immobiliser key

The key operates all the vehicle’s

locks 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 previously

removing the ignition key.

The key can be used to deactivate

the front passenger’s airbag (see

“Airbag”).

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, the CITROËN dealer

network can supply replacements.

39

C O D E C A R D

In the event of a change of vehicle ownership, it is essential for the new

owner to possess the CODE card.

Never leave it in the vehicle.

II

A conﬁdential card is given to the

new owner when he takes delivery

of his new vehicle.

This card bears a hidden access

code for the use of the CITROËN

dealer when maintaining the elec-

tronic immobiliser device.

Do not scratch the protective

strip, the security of the immo-

biliser system depends on the

information below remaining cov-

ered.

Advice

Keep the code card bearing your personal electronic immobiliser number

in a safe place (never in the vehicle).

If any key modiﬁcations become necessary (addition, cancellation or

replacement of the key), you must take the conﬁdential card together with

all the keys to a CITROËN dealer.

Also, for any operation on your vehicle’s electronic systems, CITROËN

may need to request this card from you.

Should the card be lost, the immo-

biliser device can no longer be

considered secure.

Never attempt to modify the electronic immobiliser’s electrical

circuit, as that could render your vehicle undriveable.

Should the conﬁdential card become lost, a CITROËN dealer

would have to undertake a major repair.

DISARMING THE ALARM

USING THE REMOTE

CONTROL

The alarm is disarmed when you

unlock the vehicle (by pressing

button B on the remote control).

II

A

B

1

The installation also includes a

siren and a warning lamp 2 visible

from the outside, indicating the

three possible alarm statuses:

• Alarm not armed (not on

standby), warning lamp off.

DISARMING THE ALARM

USING THE KEY

Unlock the doors with the key. The

siren is triggered. Enter the vehicle

and switch on the ignition to stop

the siren. Otherwise the siren will

continue for about 30 seconds.

Your vehicle may be equipped with

an ANTI-INTRUSION ALARM.

This ensures:

• Exterior perimeter protection

by means of detectors on the

access points (doors, tailgate,

bonnet) as well as on the electri-

cal supply.

• Interior volumetric protection

by means of ultrasonic sensors

(detecting movement inside the

passenger compartment).

This can be deactivated using

control 1.

• Alarm armed (on standby), the

warning lamp ﬂashes slowly.

• Alarm triggered (signal of an

intrusion), the warning lamp

ﬂashes rapidly if the alarm is dis-

armed with a press on button B.

It stops ﬂashing as soon as you

switch on the ignition.

Note: if there is a malfunction the

warning lamp comes on perma-

nently.

41

A N T I - I N T R U S I O N A L A R M

OPERATION OF THE ALARM

Deactivation of volumetric detection

The alarm is able to operate with only perimeter pro-

tection if you deactivate the volumetric protection (if for

example you wish to leave an animal in the vehicle).

To do this, switch off the ignition, then press immedi-

ately on control 1 for at least one second.

The warning lamp 2 should be on permanently. It will

start to ﬂash when the alarm activates.

Arm the alarm by locking your vehicle using the remote

control.

II

First make sure that all the vehicle’s doors are

closed.

The alarm is armed by pressing button A on the remote

control.

When the alarm is armed, the protections become

active within 5 seconds (perimeter) and 45 seconds

(volumetric).

Provided the alarm is armed, any intrusion triggers the

siren for 30 seconds, accompanied by the illumination

of the direction indicators.

The alarm then reverts to armed status, but the deploy-

ment remains memorised and is signalled by the rapid

ﬂashing of the alarm warning lamp 2 when you press

the unlocking button B. The ﬂashing 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 sup-

ply then give a press on the unlocking button B.

Automatic activation (according to country)

The alarm arms automatically 2 minutes after the boot

or the last door is closed.

In order to prevent the alarm then being triggered

by a door or the boot being opened, it is essential to

press again on the unlocking button B on the remote

control.

Note:

• If you wish to lock your vehicle without arming the

alarm, just lock the vehicle with the key.

• If you try to lock your vehicle when a door or the

boot is still open, the central locking will not oper-

ate, but your alarm becomes armed after approx. 45

seconds.

Note: the siren is automatically disarmed (for example

if you need to disconnect the battery) immediately after

you unlock the vehicle using the remote control.

Turbo equipped engines MUST be allowed to return to idle for several

seconds before switching off the ignition. Failure to do so could cause

serious damage to the turbo unit.

Flicking the throttle pedal as the ignition is turned off can lead to severe

damage to the turbo unit.

The maintenance indicator informs you when the next service is due, in conformity with the servicing

programme detailed in the vehicle’s Maintenance Guide. This information is determined as a function of

two parameters: the mileage travelled and the time elapsed since the previous service.

II

Functioning if the distance to

the next service is less than

600 miles

Each time the ignition is switched

on, and for ﬁve seconds, the main-

tenance symbol and the mileage

will ﬂash.

For example: you have the follow-

ing distance left to travel before

the next service: 900 km.

For ﬁve seconds on switching on

the ignition, the display shows

Functioning if the service

interval is exceeded

Each time the ignition is switched

on, the maintenance symbol and

the extra mileage travelled (with a

minus in front) will ﬂash.

For example: the preset service

distance has been exceeded by

300 miles. Your vehicle must be

serviced as soon as possible.

Operation

On switching on the ignition, the

maintenance indicator spanner

appears in the display for several

seconds; the mileage recorder

display indicates how many miles

remain to be travelled before the

next service is due (in thousands

and hundreds of miles).

For example: you have the follow-

ing distance left to travel before

the next service:

A few seconds afterwards, the

total mileage display appears and

the maintenance symbol remains

illuminated.

This signiﬁes that the vehicle will

be due for a service shortly.

A few seconds after you have

switched on the ignition, the

total mileage recorder returns

to its normal operation and the

maintenance symbol remains

illuminated.

A few seconds afterwards, the

total mileage display appears.

Handbrake

The parking brake is applied, with the vehicle stationary, by pulling on the

lever with a force that is proportionate to the steepness of the slope.

II

To facilitate the action on the lever, you are recommended to press the

brake pedal at the same time.

In all circumstances, as a precautionary measure, engage ﬁrst gear. For

vehicles equipped with an automatic gearbox, ensure that the parking

position (P) is selected.

On steep slopes, turn the steering towards the kerb.

To release the handbrake, press on the end of the lever, pull the lever up

then lower it fully.

The warning lamp will come on if the handbrake is on or not fully released.

If the parking brake is off, the lighting of this warning lamp, in conjunction with the STOP

warning lamp, indicates that the brake ﬂuid level is low or that the braking distributor is

malfunctioning.

It is essential to stop the vehicle.

Urgently consult a CITROËN Dealer

70

B R A K E S

ABS - Anti-lock Braking System

This system improves vehicle safety by preventing the wheels from locking under emergency braking or

when braking on surfaces offering poor adhesion. It thus allows control of the steering to be retained.

II

The operational capacity of the various electrical components of the ABS is continuously monitored, both before

and during your journey. On switching on the ignition, the ABS warning lamp will light up and then should go out

after a few seconds.

If the warning lamp stays on, this means that the ABS has been disconnected because a fault was detected. If

the warning lamp lights up when you are driving, this means that the ABS system is not active. In either case, the

normal braking system remains effective, as on a vehicle without ABS. Nevertheless, to restore the additional

safety afforded by correct functioning of ABS, it is recommended that the vehicle be taken to a CITROËN dealer

as soon as possible.

On slippery roads (loose stones, snow, ice, etc.), it remains essential to drive with caution.

Emergency braking assistance

This system enables you in an emergency to achieve the optimum braking pressure, thus to reduce the stopping

distance. It is triggered by your speed of action on the brake pedal, which reduces its resistance to that action.

Keep the brake pedal pressed until the vehicle comes to a stop.

71

E L E C T R O N I C S TA B I L I T Y P R O G R A M M E

Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) and Traction Control (ASR)

These systems are closely connected to the ABS and additional to it. In

the event of a loss of control of the vehicle by the driver, the ESP system

acts automatically on one or more brakes and also on the engine to bring

the vehicle back on trajectory. The ASR system optimises traction and

prevents wheel spin by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels. It also

improves steering stability during acceleration.

II

A

Operation

When either the ESP or ASR system is brought into operation,

the ESP/ASR warning lamp ﬂashes.

SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

The ESP system offers increased

driving safety but is not in place to

encourage the driver to take addi-

tional risks or to drive at excessive

speeds.

The functioning of this system is

subject to compliance with the

manufacturer’s recommendations

on wheels (tyres and rims), brake

parts and electronic components,

as well as with CITROËN’s assem-

bly and repair procedures.

Deactivation

In exceptional conditions (vehicle stuck in snow, soft ground, etc.) it may

prove useful to deactivate the ESP/ASR system to allow the wheels to spin

and thus regain traction.

- Press on control A, the ESP/ASR warning lamp and the control light up.

The ESP/ASR systems are no longer active.

The ESP/ASR systems will activate again:

- Automatically after the ignition has been switched off.

- Automatically when you drive at above approx. 30 mph

(except 2.0i 16V 180hp engine).

- Manually with another press on control A.

After any collision, have this

system checked by a CITROËN

dealer.

Operational anomaly

If there is a system malfunction, the ESP/ASR warning lamp comes on.

Contact CITROËN to have the system checked.

72

D I E S E L PA R T I C U L AT E F I LT E R S Y S T E M

Complementary to the catalytic converter, this ﬁlter makes an active contribution to the preservation of air quality

by the retaining of the unburnt pollutant particles. Black exhaust fumes are thus no longer emitted.

II

Clogging of the particle ﬁlter

This alert tells you that the particle ﬁlter is starting to ﬁll up (in conditions of urban driving of exceptionally long

duration: low speeds, trafﬁc jams etc.)

In order to regenerate the ﬁlter, you are advised to drive as soon as possible, when the trafﬁc conditions permit, at

a speed of 60 km/h (around 40 mph) or more for at least 5 minutes.

If this alert persists, consult a CITROËN dealer.

Observation: After prolonged idling or driving at very low speeds, you may occasionally notice water vapour being

emitted from the exhaust when accelerating. This is of no consequence to the running of the vehicle or to the

environment.

Diesel fuel additive level

If the additive level is low, it is necessary to top up the additive. Contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.

Operation

Provided you are travelling at over 80 km/h (approx. 50 mph), if you cross

a lane marking, you are alerted by a vibration within the cushion of your

seat:

II

- oriented to the right for crossing a lane marking to the right,

- oriented to the left for crossing a lane marking to the left.

The system does not alert you while your direction indicator is operating,

nor for about 20 seconds after your direction indicator has stopped.

Note: This device is designed to identify trafﬁc lane markings.

In certain speciﬁc instances, it may trigger an unwanted alert, for example

when you cross a direction arrow or some other random marking.

A

The effectiveness of the system may be temporarily affected by conditions

external to the vehicle:

• Detection of lanes made difﬁcult by:

- Markings that are worn or erased.

- Insufﬁcient contrast with the surface of the road.

• Masking of the sensors due to:

- Driving in snow or heavy rain.

- Driving on roads covered with mud or surface water.

If the system is ineffective for a prolonged period, contact a CITROËN

dealer.

This driving assistance device

alerts you if you are wandering

from your lane (continuous or

dotted line marking on the road

surface).

It is designed especially for use

on motorways and dual carriage-

ways, operating only at speeds

above 80 km/h (approx. 50 mph).

Activation / Deactivation

A press on control A activates the

function, the warning lamp on the

control lights up.

A second press on control A deac-

tivates the function, the warning

lamp on the control goes out.

Whenever you start the engine,

Proximity sensors are located in

the front and rear bumpers of

your vehicle.

When manoeuvring, whether

forwards or in reverse, at a speed

below approx. 6 mph, they warn

you of the presence of any obsta-

cle situated within their detection

zone, by means of:

Colour NaviDrive version

- a sound signal emitted by the

front or rear loudspeakers,

- the display of the outline of your

vehicle with shading at the zones

where obstacles are detected.

As the vehicle approaches an

obstacle, the sound signal tells you

its position according to whether

the sound issues from the front LH

or RH speaker or from the rear LH

or RH speaker.

Screen C and Monochrome

NaviDrive version

- As the vehicle gets close to

the obstacle, the sound signal

becomes ever more rapid and

the shading appears ever closer

to your vehicle’s outline.

- When the obstacle is less than

around 25 centimetres from the

vehicle, the signal becomes con-

tinuous and a WARNING panel

appears on the display.

Operation:

- When you engage reverse gear, a sound signal informs you that the system is active. The outline of your vehicle

is displayed on the screen. Any obstacles situated at the rear or at the front of the vehicle can be detected.

II

- Moving forward at a speed lower than approx. 10 km/h (6 mph), either in neutral or in a gear, the outline of your

vehicle is displayed on the screen immediately an obstacle is detected in front of the vehicle. Obstacles situated

at the front of the vehicle can be detected.

Note

- The proximity sensors cannot detect obstacles situated immediately below or above the bumpers.

- A thin object such as a spike or stake, or other similar object, may be detected only at the start of your manoeuvre

but not when the vehicle has approached close to it.

- During the winter months or in bad weather, make sure that the sensors are not covered by dirt or by ice or

snow.
