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 system 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 fault, you
are informed by illumina-
tion of this warning lamp,
an audible signal and a message in the
screen.
In this case, your vehicle will not start;
contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as
possible.









Starting the vehicle



)
Insert the key in the ignition switch.
The system recognises the starting
code.

)
Turn the key fully towards the dash-
board to position 3 (Starting)
.

)
When the engine starts, release
the key.



A heavy object (key fob...), attached to the key and weighing down on
its shaft in the ignition switch, could
cause a malfunction.


Switching the vehicle off



)
Immobilise the vehicle.

)
Turn the key fully towards you to
position 1 (Stop)
.

)
Remove the key from the ignition
switch.










Key left in the "Ignition on"
position
On opening the driver's door, an
alert message is displayed, ac-
companied by an audible signal, to
remind you that the key is still in the
ignition switch at position 1 (Stop)
.

If the key has been left in the ignition
switch at position 2 (Ignition on)
,
the ignition will be switched off auto-
matically after one hour.
To switch the ignition back on, turn
the key to position 1 (Stop)
, then
back to position 2 (Ignition on)
.


Keep safely the label attached to
the keys given to you on acquisi-
tion of the vehicle.

Lost keys

Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's registration document, your per-
sonal identifi cation documents and if possible the key code label.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to fi nd the key code and the transponder
code required to order a new key.






Do not throw the remote con-
trol batteries away, they contain
metals which are harmful to the
environment.
Take them to an approved col-
lection point.

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 working and
the remote control would have to be reinitialised.
The remote control does not operate when the key is in the ignition switch,
even when the ignition is switched off, except for reinitialisation.


Locking the vehicle

Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compart-
ment by the emergency services more diffi cult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on board), remove the key from the
ignition switch when you leave the vehicle, even for a short time.


Anti-theft protection

Do not make any modifi cations to the electronic engine immobiliser system;
this could cause malfunctions.


When purchasing a second-hand vehicle

Have the pairing of all of the keys in your possession checked by a
CITROËN dealer, to ensure that only your keys can be used to open and
start the vehicle.

ELECTRIC WINDOWS

Fitted with a safety anti-pinch system
and a deactivation system to prevent
misuse of the rear controls.

2.


Passenger's electric window control.



3.
Rear right electric window control.


4.
Rear left electric window control.


5.
Deactivation of the rear electric
window controls.

The electric window controls
remain operational for approxi-
mately 45 seconds after the ig-
nition is switched off or until the
vehicle is locked after a door is
opened.
If one of the passenger windows
cannot be operated from the
driver's door control panel, carry
out the operation from the con-
trol panel of the passenger door
concerned, and vice versa. After approximately ten con-
secutive complete opening/clos-
ing movements of the window, a
protection function is activated
which only authorises closing of
the window to prevent damage
to the electric window motor.
Once the window is closed,
the controls will become avail-
able again after approximately
40 minutes.
If the window cannot be closed (for
example, in the presence of ice),
once the window has lowered:


)
press and hold the control
until the window opens fully,

)
then pull the control immedi-
ately and hold it until the win-
dow closes,

)
continue to hold the control
for approximately one second
after the window has closed.


The safety anti-pinch function
is not operational during these
operations.



There are two options:


- manual mode



)
Press or pull the control gently.
The window stops when the con-
trol is released.

- automatic mode



)
Press or pull the control fi rmly.
The window opens or closes fully
when the control is released.

)
Pressing the control again stops
the movement of the window.

Safety anti-pinch
When the window rises and meets an
obstacle, it stops and partially lowers
again.

Parking lamps

Side markers for the vehicle by illumi-
nation of the sidelamps on the traffi c
side only.


)
Within one minute of switching off
the ignition, operate the lighting con-
trol stalk up or down depending on
the traffi c side (for example: when
parking on the left; lighting control
stalk upwards; the right hand side-
lamps are on).
This is confi rmed by an audible signal
and illumination of the corresponding
direction indicator warning lamp in the
instrument panel.
To switch off the parking lamps, return
the lighting control stalk to the central
position.
Switching off the lighting when
switching off the ignition
When the ignition is switched off,
all of the lamps switch off immedi-
ately, except for the dipped beam
headlamps if automatic guide-
me-home lighting is activated.







Manual guide-me-home lighting

Temporarily keeping the dipped beam
headlamps on after the vehicle's igni-
tion has been switched off makes the
driver's exit easier when the light is poor.

Switching on


)
With the ignition off, "fl ash" the
headlamps using the lighting stalk.

)
A further "headlamp fl ash" switches
the function off.


Switching off

The manual guide-me-home lighting
switches off automatically after a set time.



Switching on the lighting
when switching on the ignition
To reactivate the lighting control stalk, turn the ring A
to position "0"
- lighting off, then to the position of
your choice.
If the lighting is switched on manu-
ally after switching off the ignition,
there is an audible signal when a
front door is opened to warn the
driver that they have forgotten to
switch off the vehicle's lighting, with
the ignition off.
They switch off automatically after a
period which depends on the state
of charge of the battery (entry to en-
ergy economy mode).
