Starting Using The Electronic Key - CITROEN C1 2016 Handbook

Starting using the
electronic key
With the first press on the "START/
STOP" button, this indicator lamp
flashes slowly in the instrument panel.
For vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox:
F With the electronic key inside the vehicle,
put the gear lever into neutral and fully
depress the clutch pedal.
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel.
F Press and release the "START/
STOP" button.
For vehicles fitted with an ETG gearbox:
F With the electronic key inside the vehicle,
put the gear selector at N and press the
brake pedal.
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel.
F Press and release the "START/
STOP" button.
Depending on the ambient temperature,
each attempt at starting can take up to
around 30 seconds. During this period,
do not press the "START/STOP" button
again, or release the clutch pedal or
brake pedal (depending on the type of
gearbox).
After this period, if the engine has not
started, press the "START/STOP"
button again for another attempt at
starting.
If one of the starting conditions is
not met, the "Keyless Entry and
Starting" system indicator lamp flashes
in the instrument panel. In some
circumstances, it is necessary to
turn the steering wheel slightly while
pressing the "START/STOP" button to
assist unlocking of the steering.
The presence of the electronic key in
the vehicle is essential for switching on
the ignition and starting only. Once the
engine has started, make sure that the
electronic key remains with the vehicle
until the end of the journey: otherwise
you would not be able to lock the
vehicle.
