It is dangerous to operate the deadlocking when a person is in 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 you lose your key or remote control, a CITROËN d ealer can supply replacements.
If you unlock your vehicle using the key because of a problem with the battery, be aware that opening/closing a door with the window closed can ser iously damage the glass, even to the point of breaking it. See "Access".
ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER KEY
The key operates all the vehicle’s locks as well as the ignition.Note: For safety reasons, a buzzer will sound if you have switched off the ignition and opened the driv-er’s door without having removed the ignition key.
The key can be used to deactivate the front passenger’s airbag. See "Airbags".
CENTRAL LOCKING USING THE KEY

OPERATING THE ALARM
First make sure all the doors are closed.
The alarm is armed by pressing button B on the remote control.
With the alarm armed, the protections are active after 5 seconds (perimeter) and 45 seconds (volumetric).
When the alarm is armed (on standby), any intrusion will trigger the siren for 30 seconds, accompanied by the direction indicators lighting up.
The alarm then goes back on standby, but the triggering remains memorised and is signalled by the rapid fl ashing of the warning lamp on control 1 after you have deacti-vated the alarm with a press on the unlocking butto n A. The fl ashing stops when you switch on the ignition.
The siren is also triggered if there is a cutting of the electrical supply. To stop it, restore the electrical supply then press on the unlocking button A.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 exam-ple for disconnecting the battery) as soon as the vehicle is unlocked using the remote control.

The programmable heating sys-tem operates independently of the engine.
With the engine off, it is used to preheat the engine cooling system so as to have an optimum engine operating temperature on starting.
The programmable heating sys-tem is started using a long-range remote control. It can be started immediately or programmed to start later.
In the event of a malfunction of the programmable heating sys-tem, contact a CITROËN dealer.the programmable heating sys-programmable heating

Replacing the battery
The remote control is powered by a 6V-28L battery cell, which is included.
Information appears on the screen when this battery should be replaced.
Unclip the casing and replace the battery.
The remote control must then be re-initialised, as described on this page.
Do not discard old batteries; take them to an approved recycling point.
Re-initialisation of the remote control
Always switch off the program-mable heating while refuelling in order to avoid the risk of fi re or explosion.
To avoid the risk of intoxication or asphyxiation, the program-mable heating should not be used, even for a short time, in an enclosed space such as a garage, or workshop without exhaust gas extraction.
Do not park the vehicle over infl ammable materials (dry grass, dead leaves, papers…), as there is a risk of fi re.
The programmable heating sys-tem is supplied by the vehicle’s fuel tank. Before using it, ensure that there is suffi cient fuel in the tank. If the low fuel warning lamp is on we strongly recommend that you do not programme the heating to come on.
P R O G R A M M A B L E H E A T I N G
If the battery is disconnected or replaced, the remote control must be re-initialised.
After switching on, within fi ve sec-onds press button 4 (OFF) for 1 second.
If the operation is successful, the "OK" message appears in the remote control screen.
If not, the "FAIL" message appears. Repeat the procedure.
As a secondary advantage, use of your programmable heating sys-tem allows it to be used to pre-heat the passenger compartment
