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

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.

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"
