"Foot-on-brake" starting warning lamp for (6 speed) Electronic Gearbox System

During the engine starting phase, this flashes if you are not pressing the brake pedal.

See "(6 speed) Electronic Gearbox System".

This warning lamp may flash in the instrument panel to remind you to apply the brake when engaging reverse gear.

To regenerate the filter, you are advised to drive, as soon as traffic conditions permit, at a speed of 60 km/h (40 mph) or more for at least 5 minutes (until the warning message disappears).

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 PARTICULATE FILTER SYSTEM

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.

Clogging of the particle filter

MAINTENANCE INDICATOR

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

Operation

When the ignition is switched on and for several seconds afterwards, the maintenance spanner symbol appears; the total mileage recorder shows how many miles remain to be travelled before the next service is due (in thousands and hundreds of miles).

For example: you have the following distance left to travel before the next service:

CITROEN C4 (2005) - Operation - 1

text_image 4800 miles 4800 Km

A few seconds afterwards, the total mileage display appears.

CITROEN C4 (2005) - Operation - 2

text_image 5838 miles 25838 Km

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 maintenance symbol and the mileage will flash.

For example: you have the following distance left to travel before the next service: 900 km.

For five seconds on switching on the ignition, the display shows

CITROEN C4 (2005) - Functioning if the distance to the next service is less than 600 miles - 1

text_image 400 900 km

A few seconds afterwards, the total-mile lease display appears and the maintenance symbol remains illuminated. This signifies that the vehicle will be due for a service shortly.

DASHBOARD

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 km. Your vehicle must be serviced as soon as possible.

Air intake

Make sure that the exterior air inlet grille at the base of the windscreen is clean (free of dead leaves, snow etc.).

If washing the vehicle with a high pressure jet, take care to avoid targeting close to the air inlet.

Air vents

The air vents have grilles for directing the flow of air (up/down, right/left) with controls for adjusting the volume of air.

Air circulation

Optimal comfort is obtained by a good distribution of air in the front and the rear of the passenger compartment.

To ensure efficient operation, take care not to obstruct the air outlets located under the front seats.

Pollen filter/odour filter (active carbon)

Your installation has a filter for excluding dust and restricting disagreeable odours.

This filter needs to be changed according to the maintenance requirements. (See: Maintenance Guide).

Air conditioning

At any time of year, the air conditioning is useful for removing air humidity and misting.

To keep the air conditioning compressor well sealed, it is essential to operate the air conditioning at least once in every month.

To be effective, the air conditioning should only be used with the windows closed.

If you are towing a heavy trailer or if outside temperatures are very high, the air conditioning may be temporarily interrupted in favour of engine cooling.

Water arising from condensation in the air conditioning is allowed to drain out through an aperture provided for this purpose; a pool of water may thus form beneath the vehicle when stationary.

You are recommended to have the air conditioning system checked on a regular basis (see Maintenance Guide).

The air conditioning uses energy from the engine to operate. This results in extra fuel consumption

Advice

For any modification concerning the keys it is essential to contact a CITROËN dealer taking all of the keys in your possession with you.

Central locking using the key

A brief action with the key locks the vehicle.

Central deadlocking using the key

A second action straight away 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 key contains a coded electronic chip. When switching on, the code must be recognised to allow the engine to be started.

This electronic immobiliser locks the engine management system a few seconds after switching off the ignition, and prevents unauthorised starting of the engine.

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

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

CITROEN C4 (2005) - If the key is not recognised, starting is not possible. - 1

It is dangerous to deadlock the vehicle when someone is inside as unlocking from the interior is impossible (without the remote control).

In the event of loss of the keys go to a CITROËN dealer with proof of ownership of the vehicle.

The CITROËN dealer network will be able to recover the key code and the transponder code to order replacement keys.

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.

ACCESS

Central locking, closing windows, deadlocking

- A short press on button A locks your vehicle.

- A long press on buttonA 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 dead-locking, two successive presses on button A deadlocks 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 control.

In the event of a permanent fault, the remote control should be reinitialised. (See next page).

CITROEN C4 (2005) - Central locking, closing windows, deadlocking - 1

It is dangerous to deadlock the vehicle when someone is inside as unlocking from the interior is impossible (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.

ACCESS

Guide-me-home lighting

A press on button C operates the guide-me-home lighting (illumination of the sidelamps and dipped beams for approx. one minute).

A second press prior to the end of this timing cancels the guide-me-home lighting.

Locating of the vehicle

To locate the vehicle in a carpark, press button A, the interior lamps come on and the direction indicators flash for a few seconds. The vehicle remains locked.

Folding and ejection of the key

Button D is for folding and ejecting the key from its housing in the remote control.

If you do not press on button D, you could damage the mechanism.

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.

Changing the remote control battery

Unclip the cover to gain access to the battery.

Battery: CR 0523: 3 V.

Re-initialisation of the remote control

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 seconds.

Do not throw away the old batteries. They should be returned to the CITROËN dealer or deposited in a recognised recycling facility.

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 no door is opened with 30 seconds of unlocking, the vehicle locks itself again automatically, without arming the alarm.

Warning: There 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.

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 electrical supply.
- Interior volumetric protection by means of ultrasonic sensors (detecting movement inside the passenger compartment).

This can be deactivated using control 1.

CITROEN C4 (2005) - ACCESS - 2

text_image A B eL1.6

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.
  • Alarm armed (on standby), the warning lamp flashes slowly.
  • Alarm triggered (signalling an intrusion), the warning lamp flashes rapidly if the alarm is disarmed with a press on button B. It stops flashing as soon as you switch on the ignition.

Note: in the event of a malfunction, the warning lamp 2 comes on continuously.

Arming the alarm using the remote control

Switch off the ignition and leave the vehicle.

Ensure that all doors and the boot are closed.

Lock the vehicle using button A on the remote control.

When the alarm is armed, the protections become active within 5 seconds (perimeter) and 45 seconds (volumetric).

Triggering

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 deployment 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 supply then give a press on the unlocking button B.

ACCESS

Disarming the alarm using the remote control

The alarm is disarmed when you unlock the vehicle (by pressing button B on the remote control).

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.

Deactivation of volumetric detection

The alarm is able to operate with only perimeter protection 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 immediately 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.

Automatic activation (depending on 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 operate, 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.

natural_image Close-up of a computer mouse control panel with three black buttons and a yellow indicator arrow pointing to the button (no text or symbols visible)

Electric windows

The driver uses the controls located on the door to operate the vehicle's electric windows.

Note: the electric windows can also be operated for a limited time after the ignition has been switched off (including after the front doors have been opened).

Sequential electric window controls

There are two operating modes:

manual mode

Press or pull the control switch, without going beyond the point of resistance. The window stops on release of the control switch.

automatic mode

Press or pull the control switch beyond the point of resistance. The window opens or closes completely on release of the control switch.

Pressing or pulling the switch again stops the movement of the window.

Anti-pinch device

An anti-pinch device stops the window from rising. If it meets an obstacle, it goes back down.

After a battery disconnection or in the event of a malfunction, you have to re-initialise the anti-pinch function:

- Lower the window fully using the control, then close. It will rise only a few centimetres.

- Press repeatedly on the control until the window is fully closed.

Warning: During this operation, the anti-pinch protection does not work.

ALWAYS PAY ATTENTION TO WHERE CHILDREN ARE WHEN OPENING OR CLOSING WINDOWS.

  • Always remove the ignition key when leaving the vehicle, even for short periods.
  • If the driver is operating the passenger's electric window control, the driver should ensure that no passenger is obstructing the window from closing.
  • The driver should check that the electric windows are used properly by the passengers.
  • Should there be any risk of a person becoming trapped by a window closing, you should immediately reverse the window movement. To do this, reverse the position of the control concerned.

CHILD SAFETY

When children are in the car

For maximum safety, consult the relevant authority in your country to be sure that you know the rules for the carrying of children. Observe the following recommendations:

• In accordance with European Regulations, all children of under 12 years of age or of height less than 1m 50 must be carried in approved child seats suitable for their age and weight, on seats equipped with a seat belt or ISOFIX anchorage. Check that the child seat is in compliance with current legislation, ensuring that it bears an orange label featuring the range of weights for which it is suitable as well as its approval no.
- children under 9 kg must be carried in a rear-facing child seat, whether installed in the front or at the back.
- It is recommended to use this position for as long as possible (up to 2 or 3 years old).
• Statistically, the safest seats for the carrying of children are the vehicle's rear seat positions.
• CITROËN recommends you to install your child in one of the rear seat positions, even when using a rear-facing child seat.

• Children must not under any pretext be carried on the knees of a passenger (risk of being thrown against the dashboard or windscreen should there be a collision).
• Children must not be allowed to stand between the backrests of the front seats, as they could be thrown forwards under sudden braking or in the event of a collision.
- The rear doors are equipped with a "Child Safety" locking device. This allows the doors to be opened from the outside unless they are under central locking.
• Each time you switch on the ignition, check that this device is activated.
- Never leave a child in a vehicle that is exposed to sunshine.
- Before opening a door, make sure that it is safe to do so.
- When leaving your vehicle, remove the ignition key and properly apply the parking brake.
- Do not leave the key in the vehicle, as children could lock themselves in, either using the remote control or by pressing the central locking button.
- Children should not be left alone in the vehicle.

Regulations for the carriage of children in the front passenger seat position

If the child is travelling in a rear-facing child seat, it is essential to deactivate the passenger's front airbag. Otherwise the child risks being killed or seriously injured should the airbag deploy.
In the front passenger's seat, children less than 10 years of age must not be carried "forward-facing", except if:
• The rear seats are occupied by other children.
• The rear seats cannot be used (if they are folded or not present).
If your child is travelling forward-facing in the front passenger seat position, slide the front passenger seat to an intermediate position and leave the airbag activated.

CHILD SAFETY

CITROËN offers you a complete range of child seats that can be secured by means of the vehicle seat belt. These child seats have been tested on vehicles in collision conditions and they guarantee maximum safety for your children. They have also been selected for their ease of installation as well as for the comfort of the child.

In all cases, be sure to follow the child seat fitting instructions as detailed in the installation manual provided by the seat manufacturer.

For the safety of young children (from 9 to 18 kg), CITROËN recommends you to use the protection apron.

Other child seats are recommended: see ISOFIX child seats in the handbook. See "Child restraints".

CITROEN C4 (2005) - CHILD SAFETY - 8

The majority of serious injuries resulting from accidents occur when a child either is not secured or is secured incorrectly. It is essential to adhere to the child seat fitting instructions as detailed in the installation manual provided by the seat manufacturer. ISOFIX child seats are particularly recommended for their ease and safety of use.

When a rear-facing child seat is installed on the front passenger's seat, the front passenger's airbag must be deactivated. Otherwise there is a risk of death or serious injury to the child on deployment of the airbag.

CHILD SAFETY

CHILD SEATS secured by means of the vehicle seat belt

Incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises protection of the child in the event of a collision. The ISOFIX fastening system enables you to reduce those risks posed by incorrect fitting, offering you a convenient, strong and reliable fitting for a child seat in your vehicle.

It is sold by the CITROËN network. This seat has an upper strap, which must be attached to the ISOFIX "upper tether".

The RÖMER Duo Plus ISOFIX is approved specifically for your vehicle. If it is installed in a rear seat position, the vehicle's corresponding front seat should be adjusted so that the child's feet do not touch the backrest of this front seat.

This ISOFIX child seat can also be installed in seat positions that are not equipped with ISOFIX anchoring points. In this case, it is compulsory to secure it to the vehicle seat by means of the vehicle seat belt.

natural_image Close-up of a black USB flash drive with a yellow arrow pointing to it, no visible text or symbols

Electric operation

The electrical safety is activated by pressing the control located to the rear of the electric windows panel. This prohibits movement of the rear electric windows and rear passenger doors.

It is still possible to open the doors from the outside, provided the vehicle is not locked.

CITROEN C4 (2005) - LOCKING REAR DOORS - 3

If the child safety lock is activated, the warning lamp comes on for approximately 10 seconds when switching on the ignition.

This system is independent of and in no way replaces the central locking.

Check the status of the child safety locks every time the ignition is switched on.

Always remove the ignition key when leaving the vehicle even if only for a short time.

In the event of a violent impact, the electric child safety locks are deactivated automatically to allow rear passenger to get out of the vehicle.

SAFETY

TYRE PRESSURE SENSORS

This function alerts you in the event of a tyre being deflated or punctured. For this purpose, sensors continuously monitor the condition of the vehicle's wheels.

This system does not absolve the driver of the need to check the tyre pressures regularly.

Change the damaged wheel (whether punctured or substantially deflated), have the tyre repaired as soon as possible, then check the tyre pressure as soon as you can after that.

The wheel affected will no longer be detectable by the alert system if it is in the boot or undergoing repair (information given by the vehicle outline). The spare wheel will not be monitored by the alert system.

This system does not absolve the driver of the need to check the tyre pressures on a regular basis (see "Identification"), to ensure that the vehicle behaves as it should and to avoid premature wear on the tyres, especially when the vehicle is being subjected to heavy loads or driven at high speeds.

Do not forget to check the tyre pressure on the spare wheel.

Under-inflation warning

SAFETY

BRAKES

Braking system

Your vehicle's most important safety feature, the braking system, is provided by brake discs (or discs and drums) and a dual hydraulic circuit.

When the engine is running, power assistance is provided so that pedal effort is reduced.

- On wet roads, or after washing the vehicle, there can be a slight delay in brake response. From time to time, apply the brakes briefly so that the heat generated can dispel any moisture.

CITROEN C4 (2005) - Braking system - 1

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.

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 CITROÉN dealer as soon as possible.

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

CITROEN C4 (2005) - ABS - Anti-lock Braking System - 1

CITROEN C4 (2005) - ABS - Anti-lock Braking System - 2

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.

Contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.

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.

In the event of emergency braking, press and keep the pedal down very firmly without reducing the level of effort.

VIII

CITROEN C4 (2005) - VIII - 1

When the engine is not running, the braking system will not have power-assistance.

The effort required on the brake pedal will be considerably increased.

Take all reasonable safety precautions if you have to move the vehicle.

Never drive the vehicle without the engine running.

SAFETY

ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAMMES

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

These systems are closely connected to the ABS and additional to it. Where a difference is detected between the trajectory followed by the vehicle and that wanted by the driver, the ESP system acts automatically on the brake of one or more wheels to return the vehicle to the trajectory wanted, within the limits of the laws of physics. 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.

VIII

Operation

When either the ESP or ASR system is brought into operation, the ESP/ASR warning lamp flashes.

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.
  • Manually with another press on control A.

Operational anomaly

If there is a system malfunction, the ESP/ASR warning lamp comes on. Contact CITROËN to have the system checked.

CITROEN C4 (2005) - Operational anomaly - 1

text_image ESP OFF A ESP

SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

The ESP system offers increased driving safety but is not in place to encourage the driver to take additional 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 CITROEN's assembly and repair procedures.

After any collision, have this system checked by a CITROËN dealer.

SAFETY

CITROEN C4 (2005) - SAFETY - 1

natural_image Illustration of a car seat with a horizontal arm strap, no text or symbols present

Warning

When the pretensioners are deployed, there is a light discharge of harmless smoke and a loud noise, both due to the detonation of the integral explosive cartridges that activate them.

Depending on the nature and the force of the impact, this triggering may happen prior to, and independently of, the deployment of the airbags.

In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes on.

Legislation makes it compulsory for all the vehicle's occupants to wear seat belts, including pregnant women and however short the journey.

Inside the cabin, the seat belt is the most important protection for passengers.

A warning lamp informs you if the driver's and/or front/rear passengers' seat belts are not fastened, when the ignition is switched on.

In the event of a collision or on emergency braking, the seat belt will hold you in your seat, preventing you from being thrown from the vehicle.

Pyrotechnically pretensioned seat belts with force-limiters

In the event of a collision:

• The pretensioners pull back the front seat belts. The occupants are thus held more firmly against their seats.

• The force limiters reduce the pressure of the seat belt against the occupant's chest, thus enhancing the protection that the seat belt provides.

CITROEN C4 (2005) - Pyrotechnically pretensioned seat belts with force-limiters - 1

Seat belts and pyrotechnic pretensioner systems

They must be replaced following a deployment, preferably by a CITROËN dealer or by an authorised repairer.

Due to the safety regulations in force, any check or any replacement should preferably be carried out by the CITROËN network which guarantees the work and ensures that it is done correctly.

Any repair that is not done in strict compliance with requirements could result in the systems operating incorrectly or randomly, with the risk of bodily injuries being caused.

SAFETY

CITROEN C4 (2005) - SAFETY - 1

Fastening

Pull the belt down in front of you in a steady movement, making sure that it does not become twisted.

Press the fastening into its buckle.

Check that the seat belt has fastened correctly and that the automatic reel lock is working correctly by pulling the strap.

The abdominal part of the strap should be positioned as low down as possible in the lap and as tight as possible.

The chest part should be positioned if possible in the channel of the shoulder.

Each belt has a reel that adjusts its length automatically to the girth of the seat occupant.

Unfastening

Press the red button on the buckle to unfasten the belt.

The belt retracts automatically when not in use.

Recommendations

To be effective, a seat belt:

- Must be able to restrain a single person of adult size.

- Must not bear any signs of being cut or frayed.

Do not swap buckles, as then they would not fulfil their proper roles.

Before and after use, make sure that the belt is correctly retracted.

If the seats have armrests, the central part of the belt should pass underneath.

CITROEN C4 (2005) - Recommendations - 1

natural_image Illustration of a baby wearing a seatbelt, seated in a car seat (no text or symbols visible)

Positioning of the belt recommended for pregnant women

Position the lower part of the belt as low down as possible on the lap, so that it exerts no pressure on the abdomen.

VIII

CITROEN C4 (2005) - Recommendations - 2

• Always adjust your seat belt while the vehicle is stationary.

• The driver must ensure that all the passengers have correctly fastened their seat belts.

- Do not pass the belt over hard or breakable objects that you may have in your pockets.

  • Never use clamps or clips to loosen your seat belt.
    • Never carry a child on your knee.
  • Regularly check the condition and cleanliness of the seat belts. See "Maintenance".
  • Have the seat belts checked periodically by a CITROËN dealer as well as after any accident, even a minor one.

SAFETY

AIRBAGS

Your vehicle may have:

  • A driver's airbag located in the steering wheel, under the central cover.
  • A passenger's airbag in the dashboard.
  • Two side airbags located in the backrests of the driver's seat and front passenger's seat (door side).
  • Two curtain airbags located on the interior edges of the roof.

The control unit for the airbags and sensors analyses any frontal and lateral impacts suffered in the collision detection zones (see illustration p 91).

According to the degree of seriousness of impacts, it determines:

- Whether the seat belt is sufficient to protect you (Slight impact).

- Whether the seat belt pretensioner needs to be additionally actioned in order to hold you in your seat (Medium impact).

- Whether the airbag should be deployed in addition to the two initial systems (Violent impact).

Never deactivate the passenger's airbag when a passenger is present (unless a child in a rear-facing child seat). See "Passenger's airbag deactivation".

Each time you switch on the ignition, a warning lamp in the dashboard lights up for a few seconds and then goes out.

CITROEN C4 (2005) - AIRBAGS - 1

Replacement of the pyrotechnic systems associated with the airbags

After the airbags have been deployed, the pyrotechnic systems have to be changed in strict compliance with the manufacturer's specifications.

text_image Area of side impact

Area of side impact

Front airbags and knees airbags

For these airbags to deploy, it requires a violent frontal impact applied on all or part of the frontal impact zone (see illustration) from forward of the vehicle in a horizontal plane.

The airbag interposes itself between the vehicle's front occupant and the dashboard to cushion the person from being thrown forward. The airbag thus limits the risk of trauma to the head and chest. For the driver, the knees airbag protects the knees. The front passenger's airbag can be deactivated. see "Passenger's airbag deactivation".

Side airbags and curtain airbags

Deployment of these airbags requires a violent lateral impact applied on all or part of one of the lateral collision zones, coming in a horizontal plane from the side.

The role of the side airbag is to place itself between the occupant (driver or front passenger) and the door panel, thus limiting the risk of injuries to the chest.

The role of the curtain airbag is to place itself between the front or rear occupant and the windows, thus limiting the risk of injuries to the head.

These airbags may not deploy if there is only a slight collision on the side of the vehicle, or if the vehicle rolls over. They will not deploy for a front or rear collision.

Passenger's airbag deactivation

In order to be able to use a "rear-facing" child seat in the front passenger position, it is essential to deactivate the passenger airbag.

To do that :

- With the ignition off, insert the key into the switch A, located in the glovebox.

- Turn the key to position "OFF". The passenger's airbag is deactivated.

The front passenger airbag deactivation warning lamp in the instrument panel lights up (ignition on).

To reactivate the front passenger's airbag

Don't forget to reactivate the airbag function for a passenger or a forward facing child seat.

To do that, with ignition switched off:

- Insert and turn the key to the "ON" position, the airbag is activated.

The warning lamp in the instrument panel comes on for a few seconds when you switch the ignition on.

VIII

CITROEN C4 (2005) - To reactivate the front passenger's airbag - 1

If there is a malfunction, the "airbag fault" warning lamp comes on.

SAFETY

CITROEN C4 (2005) - SAFETY - 1

The wearing of seat belts is compulsory for all vehicle occupants. Inside the cabin, the seat belt is the

most important protection for passengers.

The airbag is a protection in addition to the seat belt. Its effectiveness requires the seat belt to be worn correctly.

Children under ten years of age should always be carried in the rear seats. See "Child safety".

The driver and passengers must adopt a normal, vertical sitting position that is compatible with deployment of the airbags. See "Driving position".

Never attach anything to the steering wheel central cover, to the sides of the front seats or to the vehicle pillars or roof (risk of injuries should the airbags deploy).

Hold the steering wheel in the "quarter-past-nine" position: do not hold it by the branches or rest your hands on its central cover.

Smoke as little as possible in the vehicle (risk of burns or injury should the airbag be deployed).

Do not leave any accessory or object on the dashboard or between your body and the airbag (risk of malfunction or personal injury).

Fit only seat covers that are approved by CITROËN.

Do not put your feet on the dashboard (risk of injury should the front passenger airbag deploy).

The airbags do not deploy in the case of a slight collision or an impact at the rear of the vehicle or in certain manoeuvring conditions.

The deployment of one or more airbags is accompanied by a small release of unharmful smoke, as well as by a detonation that is caused by the activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge integral to the system. This smoke is not toxic but may be an irritant to persons who are sensitive.

The noise of the detonation may affect hearing for a brief time.

Vacate the vehicle as soon as possible after the accident (provided it is safe to do so). If this is not possible, open the windows or doors.

Even observing all the advised precautions, the risk of injury or slight burning to the head, chest or arms during deployment of an airbag cannot be ruled out. In fact, inflation of the airbag is virtually instantaneous (approx. 30 milliseconds); then it deflates in the same time, emitting hot gases through holes provided for this purpose. This equipment works only once. It cannot operate to provide further protection in the event of a second impact.

It is imperative to have the system overhauled in strict compliance with the manufacturer's specifications.

SAFETY

SAFETY ADVICE

Any operation under the bonnet necessitates a number of safety precautions.

Be particularly careful both before and during all checks under the bonnet:

  • Allow the engine to cool down.
  • Keep children away from the vehicle.
    • Make sure that you possess the necessary tools and expertise.

Bonnet

Before opening the bonnet, make sure that your hands and clothing are protected. Allow the engine to cool down.

Make sure that the bonnet is stable in the open position. Beware of gusts of wind that could cause the bonnet to fall and cause serious injuries.

Moving parts

There will be a certain number of moving parts when the engine is running.

Even when the engine is switched off, the cooling fan could still operate without warning. Do not wear loose clothing (ties, scarfs, etc.), tie back long hair, all of which could become entangled in a pulley or be dragged into a drive belt.

Work in safety

The first rule of safety is to choose a suitable environment.

Do not use open roads or public rights of way. Other traffic represents a hazard.

If you need the engine running, work outdoors and not in a confined space as there is a health risk from exhaust gases.

Make sure that your vehicle is not parked over inflammable materials (dry grass, fuels, etc.) as the very high temperatures associated with the catalytic converter could ignite them.

Choose firm, level ground sheltered from the wind. Keep children away from the vehicle.

On the road

If a warning lamp comes on while you are driving, stop the vehicle with due regard to the safety of other road users and switch off the ignition.

Puncture

Switch on your hazard warning lamps and get all passengers away to a place of safety, well away from the traffic (for example behind crash barriers or on the grass verge).

Position the jack correctly to ensure that the vehicle is stable. See "Changing a wheel".

Never attempt any repairs under a vehicle that has been jacked up, without first supporting it on axle stands or some other reliable support.

VIII

SAFETY

Radiator

In normal usage, the coolant temperature reaches or exceeds 100 °C. Never remove the cap of a radiator that is hot: there is danger from projection of scalding liquid and steam. See "Levels".

The antifreeze contained in the coolant lends it the following properties:

  • Protection against low temperatures (initial protection: -35 °C).
  • Anti-corrosion protection.
  • Resistance to high operating temperatures.

See the Maintenance Guide.

Oil

In normal use, the engine oil can exceed temperatures of 130 °C and thus can cause serious burns.

Exhaust system

Beware of the very high temperatures attained by the various components of the exhaust system (risk of burns).

Fuel cut-off switch

Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a collision.

Petrol

Be extremely careful when decanting or draining petrol or when repairing petrol leaks because of the high risk of fire.

Diesel fuel

The diesel fuel system of an HDi vehicle is a high pressure system. Any repair work must be carried out by suitably qualified personnel, such as can be guaranteed by the CITROËN network.

CITROEN C4 (2005) - Diesel fuel - 1

At all times:

  • Avoid attempting repairs while close to moving traffic. If this is absolutely necessary, take all possible precautions.
  • Ensure that your passengers seek safety away from the vehicle and off the roadway (road verges and motorway hard shoulders are not safe places).
  • Keep children away from the vehicle and in safety.
  • Operate the hazard lamps and erect warning signs.
  • Preferably summon assistance from a CITROËN-approved breakdown service.
  • For guaranteed quality and safety, use CITROËN products.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM

CITROEN C4 (2005) - LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM - 1

text_image OFF P0 OFF ESP OFF A

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 carriageways, 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 deactivates the function, the warning lamp on the control goes out.

Whenever you start the engine, the mode (activated/deactivated), selected when you last switched off the engine, is retained.

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:

- 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.

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.

Brake fluid reservoir

Check and top up at regular intervals.

The fluid level must be situated within the max and min marks visible on the reservoir.

If the warning lamp comes on when driving, stop as quickly as possible and contact a CITROEN dealer.

Brake fluid

The synthetic fluid not only gives protection against corrosion but also ensures correct functioning of the braking system in all environmental conditions, therefore you should only use the synthetic product recommended by the CITROËN network. (this fluid must be replaced every two years).

These important requirements are detailed in your vehicle's Maintenance Guide.

Quality: See "Maintenance Guide".

When working under the bonnet, when the engine is hot (even stopped and the ignition switched off), the cooling fan could operate at any time.

MAINTENANCE

Wear of brake discs, brake pads and brake drums

The rate of wear of the brake pads depends on the use of your vehicle (urban use, frequent stops), and on your style of driving or the type of journey.

For information on checking the discs and drums for wear, contact a CITROËN dealer.

After washing the vehicle, brake progressively to dry out the brake linings.

FUEL
CITROEN C4 (2005) - PRACTICAL ADVICE - 1

natural_image Close-up of a mechanical component with a cylindrical shaft and flange (no visible text or symbols)

A label on the inside of the fuel fill-er flap indicates the approved fuel quality type.

For petrol engines with catalytic converter, use of unleaded fuel is obligatory

The filler neck has a narrower orifice to admit only petrol filler nozzles.

When you are filling your fuel tank, do not persist after the third cutoff; this could cause your vehicle to malfunction.

BioFlex

Your vehicle has been designed to operate equally on unleaded petrol (95 or 98) or on bioethanol (in Europe this is a mixture of 85 % ethanol and 15 % unleaded petrol, known as E85).

A label inside the fuel filler flap indicates the fuels authorised:

CITROEN C4 (2005) - BioFlex - 1
DIESEL FUEL

CITROEN C4 (2005) - BioFlex - 2
UNLEADED PETROL

Petrol engines are designed to run on RON 95 fuel.

However, for better vehicle performance (petrol engines), we recommend RON 98.

CITROEN C4 (2005) - BioFlex - 3

CITROEN C4 (2005) - BioFlex - 4

Other than the question of the two authorised fuels, your vehicle is used in the same way as a traditional petrol vehicle.

CITROEN C4 (2005) - BioFlex - 5

If you have put in fuel that is wrong for your vehicle, it is essential to have the tank drained before you start the engine.

In winter conditions, starting from cold may seem difficult. During periods of very cold weather we recommend the use of 95 or 98 unleaded petrol in preference to B85 so as to ensure optimum starting performance.

Access to the spare wheel Lift the boot floor.

Dimension of the spare wheel

If your spare wheel is of a different dimension to those on the vehicle (identified by a label), it is essential to use it only on a temporary basis, to drive not above 80 km/h (50 mph) and to have the original wheel refitted as soon as possible.

Tyre pressures

This is indicated on a label in the front door aperture.

CITROEN C4 (2005) - Tyre pressures - 1

Light alloy wheels

If your vehicle is equipped with light alloy wheels and a steel spare wheel, then if fitting the latter it is normal to note that the heads of the wheel bolts do not come to bear on the wheel rim.

The steel spare wheel is secured by the conical tapering of the wheel bolts' shafts, see diagram.

When refitting the light alloy wheel, ensure that the wheel bolt heads are in undamaged condition.

Switch on your hazard warning lamps.

Never get underneath the vehicle if it is supported only by the jack; use an axle stand.

The jack is designed specifically for your vehicle, do not use it for other applications.

Refit the repaired original wheel as soon as possible. With a spare wheel fitted, drive with caution.

natural_image Close-up of a car tire with visible tread pattern and a small yellow logo on the side (no text or symbols)

CITROEN C4 (2005) - PRACTICAL ADVICE - 2

natural_image Abstract pattern of wavy black lines and yellow dots on a dark background (no text or symbols)

Wear indicators

Check the tread depth frequently. Minimum legal depth: 1.6 mm.

Check the wear indicators and the tread depth regularly as worn tyres have reduced grip. The wear indicators show when a tyre is at its safe wear limit.

Under-inflated tyres can overheat, leading to structural damage and the risk of a blow-out.

Impacts with kerbs, potholes or hidden obstructions in the road can cause internal damage and premature failure of the tyre. Such impacts can also cause misalignment of the steering geometry and subsequent rapid tyre wear.

Advice

We therefore recommend that you have the tyres and suspension geometries checked after any such incidents.

Prolonged driving on poor surfaces may be the cause of damage which may only become evident at a later date.

If replacing your tyres, it is essential to use the tyre sizes that are recommended for your vehicle.

Contact a CITROËN dealer.

Inspect the tyres regularly for wear and damage such as cuts, cracks or bulges, etc.

Remove any foreign bodies (stones, pieces of metal) that may have pierced the tyre. They could cause further damage to the tyre carcass.

Correctly inflated tyres provide:

• Optimum roadholding.

- Precise, light steering.

- Improved fuel economy.

- Increased tyre life.

Use the tyre pressures recommended by CITROËN.

Check the tyre pressures when the tyres are cold, on a frequent basis.

Never reduce the pressure of a hot tyre

Puncture

A punctured tyre should always be removed from the rim and thoroughly examined for any secondary damage before attempting any repair. When a repair is possible, it should be carried out as soon as possible to prevent further damage to the tyre.

Tyre repair should be carried out by a tyre specialist who will assume responsibility for the repair.

XI

On slippery surfaces, drive prudently. Make sure that all 4 tyres are always in good condition and that the tyre pressures (including for the spare wheel) are always set correctly.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

BATTERY

Removal

If the vehicle is fitted with an alarm, this should be deactivated before disconnecting the battery.

Disconnect the battery leads, negative lead first.

Refitting

Ensure that the battery is correctly positioned.

On certain models, the flange should be midway between the two battery terminals.

Reconnect the battery starting with the positive lead first.

Precautions

- Ensure that the posts and terminals are clean.

- If they become sulphated (white deposit), disconnect and clean them.

- Never disconnect the leads while the engine is running.

- Never recharge the battery without first disconnecting the battery leads.

Recharging using a battery charger

The voltage must never exceed 15.5 volts and the charging current must never exceed 20 % of the rating marked on the battery casing (for example: 250 A, setting: 50 A maximum).

Length of charge: 24 hours maximum. Only battery chargers with a constant, regulated voltage output should be used.

If the vehicle is not in use for a prolonged period

If the vehicle is to be taken out of use for periods of more than one month, the battery should be disconnected.

CITROEN C4 (2005) - If the vehicle is not in use for a prolonged period - 1

If a metal object makes a contact between the two battery terminals or between the battery + and the bodywork, this

causes a short-circuit (risk of fire and serious burns).

The battery releases minute quantities of hydrogen, a gas which is explosive under certain conditions. Never use a flame or create sparks close to the battery.

The battery contains dilute sulphuric acid which is highly corrosive:

- When handling batteries, always protect your face and especially your eyes.

• In the event of any contact with the skin, rinse immediately with copious amounts of fresh water.

It is essential to proceed strictly following the sequence indicated.

Check that the emergency battery is correctly charged up (12 volts).

If you are using the battery on another vehicle, stop the engine of the assisting vehicle. The two vehicles must not come into direct contact with each other.

CITROEN C4 (2005) - Emergency starting with a slave battery - 1

natural_image Two electrocandescent batteries (A and B) connected by a black wire with red and black terminals, showing positive and negative charges.

Connect the cables in the order indicated in the diagram. Make sure that the clamps are properly secured (risk of sparks).

Start the engine of the assisting vehicle. Let the engine run for about a minute at a slightly accelerated speed.

Start the engine of the assisted vehicle.

Note: For any repair necessitating a disconnection of the battery, it is essential to wait three minutes after switching off the ignition and to avoid any action that could prevent the vehicle's electrical circuit from changing to standby mode (such as opening and closing doors, using the remote control etc.).

CITROEN C4 (2005) - Emergency starting with a slave battery - 2

Advice

Replace it with a battery of the same type (voltage, amp rating).

Do not touch the cable clamps during the procedure.

Do not lean over the batteries.

Disconnect the cables in the reverse order to connection, ensuring that they do not touch each other.

CITROEN C4 (2005) - Advice - 1

Never apply a flame or create sparks close to the battery (explosive gas).

The battery contains diluted sulphuric acid which is highly corrosive.

If ever you are handling the battery, protect your eyes and face.

In the event of any contact with the skin, rinse immediately with copious amounts of fresh water.

If the vehicle is not used for more than one month, it is recommended that the battery be disconnected.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

CITROEN C4 (2005) - PRACTICAL ADVICE - 1

natural_image Illustration of a blue battery with two top tabs and a battery symbol below (no text or labels)

Before disconnection

Before disconnecting the battery, wait 3 minutes after switching off the ignition, and close the windows and doors.

After disconnection

After the battery has been disconnected for a long period, it may be necessary to re-initialise the following functions:

  • Anti-pinch and sequential operation on the electric windows.
  • Parameters of the multifunction display (date, time, language, units of distance and temperature).
  • Radio stations.
  • Navigation reception.
  • Synchronisation of remote control.
  • Central locking.

Certain adjustments will be cancelled: it is necessary to make them again.

Starting the engine for the first time after disconnecting and connecting the battery:

  • Turn the ignition key.
  • Wait approx. one minute before actioning the starter, so as to allow the electronic systems to reinitialise.

Economy mode

In order not to discharge the battery when the engine is stopped, your vehicle goes automatically into economy mode.

The electrical components relating to comfort and headlamps (not side-lamps or hazard warning lamps) are automatically cut.

To reactivate them, the engine must be run for:

  • less than 10 minutes to have the systems available for an equivalent period.
  • more than 10 minutes to keep them available for approximately 30 minutes.

Note: a starting economy mode message appears on the multifunction screen.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

TOWING

Towing (boat, caravan, etc.)

Before departure:

Check the tyre pressures of both car and trailer.

Check all the exterior and signalling lamps of the car and trailer.

Practice manoeuvring, especially reversing.

Grease the towing ball hitch regularly, and remove it when not towing for a long period.

Spread the load inside the caravan and keep within the towing weight limits.

Always drive at moderate speeds, changing down a gear in good time before hill climbs or descents. Be aware of the effect of side winds.

Braking distances are increased. Use the brakes gently and progressively. Avoid sudden braking.

If you have to park on an incline, make sure that the parking brake is firmly applied. Check that the tow hitch is firmly attached and, if necessary, chock the wheels of the trailer.

When towing, the fuel consumption will increase.

Towing a vehicle

If you are towing another vehicle, the latter should be out of gear (gearbox in neutral). Move the gear lever to neutral (position N for SensoDrive and automatic gearboxes).

Observe your vehicle's towing limits

It is essential to comply with the max. Gross Trailer Weights and speed limits as specified by legislation in each country. For further information about the towing capacity of your vehicle and its max. authorised Gross Train Weight, contact a CITROEN dealer

Removable towing ring

The towing ring is detachable and can be fitted either at the front or at the rear of the vehicle. It is stowed in the jack's protective holder in the spare wheel.

CITROEN C4 (2005) - Removable towing ring - 1

Advice

In exceptional circumstances, it is permitted to tow the vehicle at low speed over a short distance (in accordance with the local legislation in force).

In all other cases, the vehicle must be transported by a transporter.

CAUTION - TOWING A

VEHICLE WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

Put the selector lever in position N (neutral).

natural_image Close-up of a vehicle's rear window with two arrows pointing to the side of the black dot (no text or symbols visible)

Towing with all wheels on the ground

Towing ring fixings are placed at the front and at the rear of the vehicle.

To access them:

- at the front: push on the left to tilt the cover, then remove it.

- at the rear: push at bottom, then pull on top.

The cover remains attached to the bumper by means of a tab, so that it cannot become lost.

The ignition key should be in position "M" so as to retain steering.

Use a bar with hooks to attach on the towing rings.

Vehicles with manual transmission

For vehicles with manual transmission, the gear lever must be in neutral. Failure to observe this requirement can lead to the failure of certain braking components and a lack of braking assistance on restarting the engine.

CITROEN C4 (2005) - Vehicles with manual transmission - 1

If the engine is not running, the steering and braking systems will not be power-assisted.

If towing another vehicle, the latter should be free-wheeling (that is, gearbox in neutral).

XI

PRACTICAL ADVICE

TOWBAR

We recommend you to have this device fitted by a CITROËN Dealer, who will be acquainted with your vehicle's towing capability and with the procedures necessary for installing a safety item of this kind.

It is essential to install a CITROËN approved electronic unit when having a towbar fitted, in order to prevent any risk of malfunction or damage (risk of fire).

The fitting of a caravan mirror on the wing is prohibited.

dimensions in metres: A = 0.841

Respect the towing limits of your vehicle.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

COLD WEATHER SCREEN "SNOW GUARD"

The screen supplied with the vehicle (depending on country) should be fitted during the winter period. It is essential to remove it when temperatures are above 10 degrees Celsius.

Don't forget to remove the cold weather screen:

  • when the ambient temperature is above 10 °C,
  • when towing,
  • for speeds above 120 km/h (75 mph).

RADIO SOURCE

Notes on radio reception

Your radio will be subject to certain phenomena that are not encountered by domestic systems.

The reception of AM and FM signals may suffer from interference, which is caused by the nature and propagation of the signals and does not reflect on the quality of your radio installation.

In AM, the reception may be affected when passing under power lines or bridges, or when travelling through tunnels.

In FM mode, the reception may be affected by the distance from the station transmitter, the reflecting of signals off obstacles (mountains, hills, tower blocks) and radio blackspots (no coverage from the station transmitter).

Selection of radio source

Press button D to select the source.

Selection of frequencies and memory banks

Press button E successively to go through the memory banks FM1, FM2 and FM3, for the FM waveband, and the memory banks MW/LW, for the AM waveband.

Manual search is via buttons J or M.

By keeping button J or M pressed, you will be able to scroll through the waveband. Scrolling will stop as soon as you release the button. The radio will remain tuned to the frequency that is displayed.

Tuning sensitivity

Automatic searches can be carried out according to two levels of sensitivity:

- To capture the most powerful transmitters, choose the local search mode "LO" (default option).

- To capture the weakest or most distant transmitters, choose the sensitive search mode "DX".

Search for a station is done first in "LO" (local) sensitivity, then in "DX" (distant) sensitivity.

To commence a search in sensitivity "DX" (distant) immediately, press twice in succession on one of the buttons K or N.

A short press on one of the buttons K or N will tune into higher or lower radio stations respectively, within the chosen waveband.

By keeping button K or N pressed, you will be able to scroll through the waveband. The scrolling will stop at the first station it finds once the button is released.

You can also do this by means of control 2 at the steering wheel. If the automatic search is unable to tune into a known frequency (perhaps owing to very weak reception), it is possible to search manually to find this station.

Display and selection of a station available in the area in which you are travelling

Briefly press on button G to bring up a list of stations, this is updated every 10 minutes.

You can also update this list at any time by giving a long press on button G.

To listen to one of these stations, select by pressing buttons J or M and validate using button L.

AUDIO

Manual pre-setting

Select the waveband and memory bank required using button E. Select a station using either automatic or manual search.

Keep pressing for more than two seconds on one of the pre-selection buttons 1 to 6 on the keypad P.

The sound momentarily cuts off, then returns to its previous level to confirm that it has memorised the station.

Automatic memorisation of transmitters (Autostore function)

In FM, if you hold down button E for more than two seconds, your radio will automatically memorise the 6 strongest stations on the FM3 memory bank.

The display shows "FM AST".

The radio memorises the 6 strongest transmitters, deleting the 6 previously memorised.

After the memorisation, the radio goes directly to memory 1 of memory bank FM3.

Note:

- If the traffic information function has been activated (see RDS SYSTEM), the stations offering this facility will be memorised as priority.

If it is unable to memorise any new stations, the system will retain the previously memorised stations.

- If the system is unable to find 6 stations, the unfilled memory slots will remain free.

Recall of pre-set stations

Press button E briefly to select the required waveband and memory bank.

A short press on one the pre-selection buttons 1 to 6 on the keypad P recalls the corresponding memorised station. You can also do this using the control 3 at the steering wheel.

If it is a RDS station, the frequency appears some seconds before the name appears.

For RDS stations, recall of a station may prompt a search for a frequency corresponding to the region where you happen to be (see RDS system).

AUDIO

RDS SYTEM

Using the RDS (radio data system) function on FM

The majority of FM radio stations use the RDS system. The radio in your vehicle has this system.

The RDS system enables these stations to transmit non-audible data in addition to the broadcasting of their programmes. The data provides access to various functions described in this chapter, such as: display of the station name, intermittent traffic information flashes or automatic scanning of stations. This enables you to continue listening to your chosen radio station, regardless of the different frequencies it uses in the regions through which you are travelling.

Scanning of RDS stations

Your radio keeps the best possible reception by continuously looking for any other frequencies on which the selected radio station is broadcast, automatically choosing the frequency offering the best reception (if the station broadcasts on more than one transmitter or frequency).

Activation/deactivation of the RDS functions

The RDS functions can be accessed via the following two menus:

  • Main menu (press button O).
  • AUDIO menu (press button L).

To activate/deactivate the RDS functions on the display C:

  1. Press button O
  2. Select the AUDIO icon using buttons J or M.
  3. Confirm your choice with a press on button L.
  4. Select the sub-menu for the FM waveband, via buttons J or M. Confirm your choice with a press on button L.
  5. Select scanning for RDS stations, via buttons J or M.
  6. Validate your choice with a press on button L.
  7. Using control L, select/deselect to activate/deactivate the function.
  8. Validate your choice by selecting "OK" on the display.

To activate/deactivate the RDS functions on the display A:

  1. Press button O.
  2. Select the AUDIO-CD icon via buttons J or M.
  3. Select scanning for RDS stations, via buttons J or M. The system tells you the status (active or inactive) of the function.
  4. Modify this status via buttons K or N.
  5. Then please wait for the display to disappear.

Note:

If the RDS function is active:
- The "RDS" on the display will light up provided the station being received uses the RDS system with scanning of frequencies.
- The "RDS" on the display is barred if the station received uses the RDS system without frequency search.
If your RDS function is deactivated, the "RDS" on the display will be absent in all cases.
The display will indicate the "NAME" for the stations that use the RDS system and the frequency for stations that do not use it.

AUDIO

Regional search mode

Some stations, when they are organised in networks, broadcast regional programmes at certain times of day, and national programmes at other times.

It is possible to search:

- Either for a regional station only.

- Or across the whole network in order to find a different programme.

To activate/deactivate this function, proceed as for Scanning of RDS stations.

Note:

When this mode is activated, the system will remain tuned to one specific regional station.

TA traffic information (traffic announcements)

Some stations allow broadcasting, only in FM, of these messages thanks to the "TA" function. You can activate the "TA" function by pressing on button I. This allows you, even though you are listening to another audio source or to a radio programme not itself providing traffic messages, to receive traffic information flashes from an FM station which broadcasts them.

While the messages are being broadcast the original source is paused and when the messages have ended your radio will automatically revert to the music programme you were listening to.

Note:

  • You have to be in FM wave band.
  • The station being listened to should indicate via the RDS system that it broadcasts traffic information.
  • Stations organised in a network (EON) have regional transmitters that send their own programmes: while you are listening to one of these stations the system will switch automatically to a station on the network that is broadcasting traffic information.
  • You can stop listening to a message by pressing button I.

Sound volume adjustment for traffic information

The sound volume for traffic information operates separately from that for the rest of the system, and can be adjusted independently. Rotate button A while a traffic information message is being broadcast. This volume adjustment is memorised.

Selecting a programme type

Certain stations offer the possibility of listening to a particular programme type, selected from a list (PTY). press for more than two seconds on button I.

Press on buttons J or M to scroll through and select the programme type you prefer, then press on button L to validate your choice.

Searching for a station

broadcasting this programme type

When you have chosen a programme type, the list of corresponding stations appears on the display, press on buttons J or M to scroll down and select the station you want, then press on button L to validate your choice.

HANDS-FREE TELEPHONE

Your audio system may be Bluetooth compatible. It allows you to connect a mobile telephone for "hands free" use and even to use its directory.

It permits you to twin up to four telephones, to be able then to connect whichever one you choose. The Bluetooth® functions available and the content of the display are dependent on the type of mobile telephone, its settings and the type of contract you have. For this reason it is advisable to make enquiries with your telephone provider.

Prior to any operation:

  • Your display should be lit up (key in position M).
  • Your telephone's Bluetooth system must be activated.

Twinning a telephone

Twinning a telephone consists of having it recognised by the Bluetooth® system on your vehicle. This then permits an instantaneous connection.

Twinning can only be performed with ignition switched on, display illuminated, engine stopped. No other telephone should be connected.

The twinning must be performed with the telephone and its Bluetooth® system activated.

Note:

Refer to the user instructions to familiarise yourself with the features of twinning.

- The telephone detects the Bluetooth® system on your vehicle. "C4" displays on your telephone.

You should then select "C4" on your telephone controls. Next you must choose whether or not to accept this twinning then select, on screen C using J, M or 8, one of the 4 memories. Validate with a press on button L or 7.

Note:

You can select a memory already attributed, although the telephone twinned to this location will no longer be.
- Next the telephone asks you to enter an identification code: 1234.
- Validate.

Note:

This entry may be demanded earlier in the twinning sequence.

The telephone is now twinned to your Bluetooth® system. For immediate access to the Bluetooth® functions, it may be necessary to make a connection (see following page "Configuration: Connecting a twinned mobile telephone").

Once the twinning is finished, you will be able to connect your telephone via the "Main menu".

Connecting a twinned telephone

Each time you enter the vehicle, after switching on the audio system, your telephone is detected automatically. If more than one telephone is present, the last telephone to have been connected is the first to be recognised.

FREQUENTLY-ASKED QUESTIONS

The table below provides answers to the questions that are asked the most frequently.

QUESTIONANSWERSOLUTION
There is a discrepancy in sound quality between the different audio sources (radio, CD, CD changer etc.).To achieve an optimum listening quality, the audio adjustments (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambiance, Loudness) can be adapted to each of the different sound sources, which can produce audible shifts when you change the source (radio, CD, CD changer etc.).Check that the audio adjustments (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambiance, Loudness) are adapted to the sources being listened to. It is recommended that you should adjust the AUDIO functions (Bass, Treble, Front-Rear balance, Left-Right balance) to the mid position, select the musical ambiance "None", adjust the loudness correction to the position "Active" in CD mode and to the position "Inactive" in radio mode.
The CD immediately ejects or does not play back.The CD is the wrong way up, is unplayable, does not contain audio data or contains an audio format that the radio cannot play back. The CD is protected by an anti-pirating protection system unrecognised by the radio.- Check that you have inserted the CD the right way up in the CD player.- Check the condition of the CD: the CD cannot be played back if it is too damaged.- Check the contents if it is a burnt CD: refer to the advice given in the chapter on Audio System.- The radio's CD player cannot play back DVDs.- For reasons of poor quality, some burnt CDs will not be played back by the audio system.- The CD changer does not play back MP3 CDs.
The CD player sound is downgraded.The CD being used is scratched or of poor qualityInsert only CDs of good quality and keep them in good condition.
The radio adjustments (bass, treble, ambiances) are unsuitable.Return the treble and bass levels to 0, without selecting any ambiance.

QUESTIONANSWERSOLUTION
The pre-set stations do not work (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed, etc.).The waveband selected is not the correct one. Press on the button BAND AST to retrieve the wave band (AM, FM1, FM2, FMAST) where the stations have been memorised.
Traffic Announcements (TA) is displayed, but I do not receive any road information.The particular radio station is not in the regional traffic information network.Change to a radio station which does broadcast traffic information.
The reception quality of the radio station being listened to gradually deteriorates or the pre-set stations do not work (no sound, 87.5 Mhz displayed, etc.).The vehicle is too distant from the transmitter of the station being listened to, or no transmitter is present in the geographical area you are passing through.Activate the RDS function to allow the system to check whether a more powerful transmitter is to be found in the geographical area.
The environment (hills, high buildings, tunnels, underground car parks, etc.) is blocking reception, even in RDS mode.This phenomenon is normal and does not imply anything wrong with the radio.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example after going through a car wash or in an underground car park).Have the aerial checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Cutting of sound for 1 or 2 seconds in radio mode.The RDS system during this brief sound cut-off is searching for a better frequency that might offer improved reception of the station.Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon occurs too frequently and always on the same journey.
When the engine is not running, the radio stops after a few minutes.When the engine is switched off, the working time for the radio depends on the vehicle battery charge.The interruption is normal: the radio goes into economy mode, cutting off in order to save the vehicle's battery.You have to start the engine so as to increase the battery charge.
The message "the audio system is overheating" appears on the screen.In order to protect the audio equipment in excessive ambient temperatures, the radio goes into an automatic thermic protection mode which results in a reduction in sound volume or stopping of the CD player.Switch off the audio system for a few minutes in order to allow the system to cool down.
