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 fault,
you are informed by il-
lumination of this warn-ing 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.
Keep safely the label attached to the
keys given to you on acquisition of
the vehicle.

ates the guide-me-home
lighting (lighting of the side-

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"

Lost keys

Visit a CITROËN dealer with the ve-
hicle's registration document, your
personal identifi cation documents
and if possible the key code label.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to
look up the key code and the tran-
sponder code required to order a
new 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
vehicle, 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 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 com-
partment by the emergency services
more diffi cult in an emergency.
However, the vehicle unlocks auto-
matically in the event of a serious
impact causing airbag deployment.
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 malfunc-
tions.


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.







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