Deadlocking using the key

 Turn the key to the right in the driv-
er's door lock to lock the vehicle
completely and hold it in this posi-
tion for more than two seconds to
close the windows automatically
in addition to locking.

 Turn the key to the right again
within fi ve seconds to deadlock
the vehicle.
Deadlocking is confi rmed by fi xed
lighting of the direction indicators for
approximately two seconds.
According to version, the exterior
mirrors fold at the same time.
Deadlocking renders the exterior and
interior door controls inoperative.
It also deactivates the manual
central control button.
Therefore, never leave anyone
inside the vehicle when it is
deadlocked.
This also triggers the timed switch-
ing on of the exterior side spotlamps
and guide-me-home lighting, if this
is activated.

 First press button A to fold the
key.
Locating your vehicle

 Press the closed padlock to locate
your locked vehicle in a car park.
This is indicated by lighting of the
courtesy lamps and exterior side
spotlamps and fl ashing of the direc-
tion indicators for a few seconds. Guide-me-home lighting
A press on button
B operates the
guide-me-home lighting (lighting
of the sidelamps, dipped beams,
number plate lamps and exterior
side spotlamps (located underneath
the exterior rear view mirrors)).
A second press before the end of
the timing cancels the guide-me-
home lighting.
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 malfunc-
tion, you are informed 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.

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
retrieve the key code and the trans-
ponder 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 vehi-
cle, 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, ex-
cept 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
control batteries away, they
contain metals which are
harmful to the environment.
Take them to an approved collection
point.

ment of switching off the ignition
