Citroen C-Elysee 2016 Owner’s Manual

The Citroën C-Elysée 2016 Owner’s Manual is the official factory handbook for Citroën’s compact saloon, designed to help drivers understand every system, control, and setting for safer, more comfortable journeys. This comprehensive English-language PDF covers the full C-Elysée range, including PureTech petrol, VTi, HDi and BlueHDi diesel engines with manual, ETG electronic, and EAT6 automatic gearboxes.

What’s Inside the Manual

The handbook is structured into clearly organized chapters for quick reference:

  • Monitoring — instrument panel, warning and indicator lamps, service indicator, distance recorders, date and time setting, trip computer, and multifunction screen menus.
  • Openings — remote control key, central locking, anti-theft alarm with perimeter and self-protection functions, doors, boot (electric and mechanical opening), and electric/manual windows.
  • Comfort — front and rear seats, heated seats, head restraints, door mirrors with manual folding and demisting, anti-dazzle rear-view mirror, steering wheel adjustment, ventilation, manual air conditioning, and electronic air conditioning with AC MAX rapid cool function.
  • Demisting and Defrosting — front demist/defrost, rear screen demist with door mirror heating, and heated lower windscreen for freeing wiper blades from frost.
  • Interior Fittings — sun visor, glove box, door pockets, ashtray, cup holder, USB and Jack auxiliary sockets, 12 V cigarette lighter accessory socket, front armrest with storage, and boot fittings.
  • Driving — driving recommendations, ignition switch with energy economy mode, electronic engine immobiliser, manual gearbox, ETG 5-speed electronic gearbox with creep function, parking brake, and flooded road precautions.
  • Safety and Driving Aids — Stop & Start, cruise control, speed limiter, parking sensors, ABS, ESP/ASR, airbags, and ISOFIX child seat anchorages with manual childproof locks.
  • Practical Information — fuel tank refuelling, AdBlue additive top-up and SCR system for BlueHDi engines, very cold climate radiator screens, accessories, floor mats, roof bars, and temporary puncture repair kit.
  • Checks — opening the bonnet, under-bonnet layout, engine oil dipstick, coolant, screenwash fluid, brake fluid, diesel additive, 12 V battery, particle filter regeneration, and air/oil/passenger compartment filters.
  • In Case of Breakdown — temporary puncture repair kit, changing a wheel, bulbs, fuses, jump-starting, and towing.
  • Technical Data — engine specifications, weights, dimensions, towed loads, identification markings, and VIN locations.
  • Audio and Telematics — Audio System with Bluetooth, RD5/RD45 systems, steering-mounted controls, multimedia, telephone, and Bluetooth connection menus.

Key Driver Assistance Technologies Explained

The manual provides detailed instructions for the C-Elysée’s modern systems: the 5-speed ETG electronic gearbox with both automated and sequential manual modes plus a low-speed creep function for parking and traffic, the SCR system with AdBlue that converts up to 85% of NOx into harmless nitrogen and water to meet Euro 6 standards on BlueHDi engines, the anti-theft alarm with perimeter and self-protection functions, and the service indicator which calculates the next service interval based on distance, time, and engine oil deterioration.
