Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehi-
cle's V5 registration document and your personal identifi cation documents.

retrieve the key code and the trans-
ponder code required to order a re-
placement key.

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.

when the ignition is switched off, ex-
cept for reinitialisation.

Deadlocking using the key

 Turn the key to the right in the
driver's door lock to lock the ve-
hicle completely and hold it in this
position for more than two sec-
onds to close the windows auto-
matically in addition to locking.

 Turn the key to the right again
within fi ve seconds to deadlock
the vehicle.
Deadlocking renders the exterior and
interior door controls inoperative.
It also deactivates the manual cen-
tral control button.
Therefore, never leave anyone in-
side the vehicle when it is dead-
locked.
Deadlocking also triggers the timed
illumination of the exterior side spot
lamps and guide-me-home lighting,
if this is activated.

 First press this button to fold the
key.

This function allows you to identify
your vehicle from a distance, espe-
cially when the light is poor. Your ve-
hicle must be locked.

 Press the closed padlock on the
remote control.
This will bring on the courtesy lamps
and exterior side spotlamps, as well
as fl ashing the direction indicators
for a few seconds. 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 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 this button op-
erates the guide-me-home
lighting (lighting of the side-
lamps, dipped beam head-
lamps, number plate lamps
and exterior side spotlamps (located
underneath the door mirrors)).
A second press before the end of
the timing cancels the guide-me-
home lighting.
Deadlocking is confi rmed by fi xed
lighting of the direction indicators for
approximately two seconds.
According to version, the door mir-
rors fold at the same time.
