F Turn the key to position 2, ignition on, to
operate the engine pre-heating.
F Wait until this warning lamp
goes off in the instrument panel
then operate the starter motor
by turning the key to position 3
until the engine starts, without
pressing the accelerator. Once
the engine starts, release the key.
The warning lamp does not come
on if the engine is already warm.
Depending on the climatic conditions,
it is recommended that you proceed as
follows:
-
In temperate conditions, do not
run the engine with the vehicle
stationary to warm it up, but rather
move off straight away and drive at
moderate engine speeds.
-
In wintry conditions, the pre-heater
warning lamp will stay on for a
longer period after switching on the
ignition; wait until it goes off before
starting.
-
In very severe wintry
conditions
(temperature
below
-23°C), to ensure the correct
operation and durability of the
mechanical components of your
vehicle (engine and gearbox), leave
the engine running for 4 minutes
before moving off.
Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion
engines emit toxic exhaust gases,
such as carbon monoxide. Danger of
intoxication and death.
If the engine does not start straight
away, switch off the ignition.
Wait a few moments before trying
again. If the engine does not start after
a few attempts, do not keep trying: you
risk damaging the starter motor and the
engine.
Call on a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
