  ELECTRONIC ENGINE
IMMOBILISER 
  This locks the engine control sys-
tem as soon as the ignition has been 
switched off and therefore prevents 
starting of the vehicle by anyone who 
does not have the key. 
  The ignition key has an electronic 
chip which has a special code. When 
the ignition is switched on, the code 
must be recognised for the vehicle to 
start. 
   
If the system does not function 
correctly, 
 the central locking button 
indicator light, situated in the centre 
of the fascia, fl ashes rapidly when the 
ignition is switched on (2nd notch), 
accompanied by an audible signal 
and a message on the display. 
  In this case your vehicle will not start. 
  Contact a CITROËN dealer as soon 
as possible. 
   
 
 
 
 
 
Key in ignition 
 
A buzzer sounds on opening the driv-
er's door, if the key has been left in 
the ignition.    Make a careful note of the 
number of each key. This 
number is coded on the label 
attached to the key. 
  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 vehi-
cle, without you being aware of it. 
  The remote control does not operate 
when the key is in the ignition, even 
when the ignition is switched off, 
except for reprogramming. 
  Do not operate the deadlocking function 
if there is anyone inside 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. 
  Do not repeatedly press the buttons 
of your remote control out of range of 
your vehicle. 
  You run the risk of stopping it from 
working and the remote control would 
have to be reprogrammed. 
  When purchasing a second-hand ve-
hicle, 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 make any modifi cations to the 
electronic engine immobiliser system.     
If the keys are lost 
  Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehi-
cle's V5 registration certifi  cate and your 
personal identifi cation documents. 
  The CITROËN network will be able to 
retrieve the key code and the trans-
ponder code to order a replacement 
key.  
 
   
A heavy object (key fob...), attached 
to the key and weighing down on 
its shaft in the ignition switch, could 
cause a malfunction.

THE ALARM SYSTEM *  
 
The alarm offers two types of protection: 
 
 
 
-   exterior protection: 
 the alarm 
sounds if  a door, the boot or the 
bonnet is opened 
; 
   
-   interior protection: 
 the alarm 
sounds if there is a variation in 
the  volume inside the vehicle 
(breaking of a window or move-
ment inside the vehicle) 
.  
 
   
Setting the alarm 
  Switch the ignition off and get out of 
the vehicle. 
  Activate the alarm within fi ve minutes 
following your exit from the vehicle, 
by locking using the remote control 
key (the red indicator lamp in the 
switch  1 
, which can be seen from the 
outside, fl ashes once a second).    
Warning 
  If, on setting the alarm, a door, the 
boot or the bonnet are not closed 
correctly, the siren sounds for a mo-
ment. 
  Close the vehicle correctly to set the 
alarm. 
  If the interior protection alarm is trig-
gered ten times in succession, it is 
disarmed automatically. It must be 
set again in order for it to operate 
correctly.     When the alarm is triggered, the 
siren sounds and the direction indi-
cators fl ash for thirty seconds. 
  After it has been triggered, the alarm 
becomes operational again.

without setting the alarm, lock it us-
ing the key in the door lock.

control key (the red indicator lam in
