Never attempt to modify the electronic immobiliser’s electrical circuit, as this could render your vehicle undriveable.
It is dangerous to operate the deadlocking when a person is inside the vehicle as unlocking is impossible from the inside without the remote control.
The key number is on the label attached to the key.
Should the key be lost or modifi ed (addition, cancellation or replacement), you must contact a CITROËN dealer, with all of the vehicle keys in your possession as well as your proof of identity.
Central locking using the key
Briefl y turn the key in the door lock. The vehicle is locked.
Deadlocking: Central locking using the key
A second immediate action with the key deadlocks the vehicle. It is then impossible to open the doors from the interior or exterior.
Note:With the vehicle stationary and the engine switched off, lock-ing is signalled by the fl ashing of the interior locking control warning lamp.
If any of the doors, or the boot, is open or not properly closed, the central locking does not operate.

Operating the alarm
First make sure all the doors are closed.
The alarm is armed by pressing button C on the remote control.
With the alarm armed, the protec-tions are active after 5 seconds (perimeter) and 45 seconds (volu-metric).
When the alarm is armed (on standby), any intrusion will trigger the siren for 30 seconds, accom-panied by the direction indicators lighting up.
The alarm then goes back on standby. The triggering remains memorised. The warning lamp on button A fl ashes quickly when the alarm is deactivated by pressing the unlocking button B. This fl ash-ing stops when you switch on the ignition.
Deactivating the volumetric detection
You can operate the alarm with perimeter protection only, by deac-tivating the volumetric protection (if for example you wish to leave an animal in the vehicle).
Deactivation of the volumetric detection
Switch off the ignition.
Within 10 seconds, press button Auntil the warning lamp remains on permanently.
Exit the vehicle.
Lock or deadlock the vehicle with the remote control locking button.
The light on button A fl ashes once a second.
Note: It is recommended to deacti-vate the volumetric detection when washing the vehicle in order to pre-vent the random triggering of the alarm.
Automatic activation (depending on country)
The alarm is armed automatically, 2 minutes after the last door, or the boot, has been closed.
In order to prevent the alarm from triggering when you open one of the doors or the boot, it is essen-tial to press the unlocking button Bagain on the remote control.
The siren is also triggered if there is a cutting of the electrical sup-ply. To stop it, restore the electrical supply then press on the unlocking button B.
Note:If you want to lock your vehicle without arming the alarm, just lock with the key only.If you lock your vehicle and a door, or the boot, is still open, the central locking does not operate but the alarm will arm itself after approx. 45 seconds.
Note: The siren is automatically deactivated (for example for dis-connecting the battery) as soon as the vehicle is unlocked using the remote control.
