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 fault,
you are informed by
illumination of this
warning lamp, an au-
dible signal and a message in the
screen.
In this case, your vehicle does not
start; contact a CITROËN dealer as
soon as possible.


Folding the key
A press on button B
oper-
ates the guide-me-home
lighting (lighting of the side-
lamps, 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"
of the instrument panel screen.

the key which would weigh down
on its shaft in the switch and could
cause a malfunction.

ing allowed it to run for a few sec-
onds at idle, this being the time
required for the turbocharger to re-
turn to a normal speed.

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 transpon-
der code required to order a replace-
ment 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 ve-
hicle, 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,
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.
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 con-
trol batteries away, they contain
metals which are harmful to the
environment.
Take them to an approved collection
point.
