Anti-theft protection

  Electronic engine immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip
which has a special code. When the
ignition  is  switched  on,  this  code
must  be  recognised  in  order  for
starting to be possible.
This  electronic  engine  immobiliser
locks  the  engine  management  sys-
tem a few minutes after the ignition
is switched off and prevents starting
of  the  engine  by  anyone  who  does
not have the key.

In the event of a mal-
function,  you  are  in-
formed  by  lighting  of
this  warning  lamp,  an

audible  signal  and  a  message  on
the multifunction screen.
In  this  case,  your  vehicle  does  not
start; contact a CITROËN dealer as
soon as possible.

Folding the key

A  press  on  button   B   oper-
ates  the  guide-me-home
lighting  (lighting  of  the
sidelamps,  dipped  beams
and number plate lamps).

A  second  press  before  the  end  of
the  timing  cancels  the  guide-me-
home lighting.
The timed duration can be set via the
"Lighting" menu on the "Main Menu"
of the instrument panel screen.

To unlock the steering, gently move
the steering wheel while turning the
key, without forcing it.

2. "M": Drive position

Depending  on  the  version  of  your
vehicle,  the  orange  and  red  warn-
ing  lamps  should  also  come  on  for
a short time.

3. "D": Starter

Release the key as soon the engine

  3. "D":  Starter position.
Never  turn  the  key  to  this  position
when the engine is running.

Do not run the engine in an enclosed

space or where there is insufﬁ cient

ventilation.
It  is  essential  always  to  drive  with
the engine running in order to retain
braking and steering assistance.
Never  remove  the  ignition  key
before  the  vehicle  has  come  to  a
complete stop.
Avoid  attaching  a  heavy  object  to
the  key  which  would  weigh  down
on its shaft in the switch and could
cause a malfunction.

Vehicles equipped with
a turbocharger

Never  stop  the  engine  without  having
allowed  it  to  run  for  a  few  seconds  at
idle,  this  being  the  time  required  for
the  turbocharger  to  return  to  a  normal
speed.

Malfunction

Following  disconnection  of  the  ve-
hicle battery, replacement of the re-
mote  control  battery  or  in  the  event
of a remote control malfunction, you
can no longer unlock, lock or locate
your vehicle.
      First of all, use the key in the lock

to unlock or lock your vehicle.

     Then, reinitialise the remote control.
If  the  problem  persists,  contact  a
CITROËN  dealer  as  soon  as  pos-
sible.

  Reinitialisation
      Switch off the ignition.
     Turn the key to position  2 (  Drive  ) .
     Press the closed padlock imme-

diately for a few seconds, until
the operation requested is trig-
gered.

 Switch off the ignition and re-

move the key from the ignition
switch.

The remote control is fully opera-
tional again.

Battery ref.: CR0523/3 volts.
This replacement battery is avail-
able from CITROËN dealers.

If the battery is ﬂ at, you

are informed by lighting
of this warning lamp,
an audible signal and a

message on the multifunction screen.

 Unclip the casing using a coin at

the notch.



Slide the ﬂ at battery out of its lo-

cation.

Lost keys

Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehi-
cle's V5 registration document and your

personal identiﬁ cation documents.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to re-
trieve the key code and the transponder
code required to order a replacement
key.

Remote control

The high frequency remote control is
a sensitive system; do not operate it
while it is in your pocket as there is a
possibility  that  it  may  unlock  the  ve-
hicle, without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons
of  your  remote  control  out  of  range
and out of sight of your vehicle. You
run the risk of stopping it from work-
ing  and  the  remote  control  would
have to be reinitialised.
The remote control does not operate
when the key is in the ignition, even
when  the  ignition  is  switched  off,
except for reinitialisation.

Locking the vehicle

Driving with the doors locked may
make access to the passenger com-
partment by the emergency services

more difﬁ cult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children
on board), remove the key from the
ignition when you leave the vehicle,
even for a short time.

Anti-theft protection

Do not make any modiﬁ cations to the

electronic engine immobiliser sys-
tem; this could cause malfunctions.

When purchasing
a second-hand vehicle

Have the key codes memorised by a
CITROËN dealer, to ensure that the
keys in your possession are the only
ones which can start the vehicle.

Do not throw the remote con-
trol batteries away, they contain
metals which are harmful to the
environment.

Take them to an approved collec-
tion point.
