REMOTE CONTROL
FOLDING AND EJECTING THE KEY
ButtonD is for folding and ejecting the key from its housing in the remotecontrol.
If
you do not press on button D, you could damage the key mechanism.
Changing the remote control battery
Unclip the cover to gain access to the battery.
Battery:CR 0523 - 3 V.
After a chan
ge of battery, it may be necessary to re-initialise the remotecontrol. To do that, switch on the ignition and immediately press button Bonyour remote control to trigger the action desired. This may take some tenseconds.Note: Make a careful note of the numbers for the keys and for the remote
control on the ASSISTA NCE card. Keep this in a safe place.
Do not throw away the old batteries. They should be returned to aCITROËN dealer or deposited at a recognised collection point (a camerarshop, for example).
Except when reinitialising, the remote control cannot function while the key is in the ignition,even when switched off.
Warning: by inadvertently actioning the remote control, when for example it is in your pocket,you can unlock the vehicle without your realising it.
However, if none of the doors are opened within thirty seconds following an unlocking, the doorswill automatically relock.
Warning: there is a risk of damage if the replacement battery is not the correct one.
Only use batteries that are identical or equivalent to those approved by CITROËN.
GUIDE-ME-HOME LIGHTING

tion of the sidelamps and dipped
beams for approx. one minute).
A second press prior to the end of
this period cancels the guide-me-home lighting.

KEYS
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 dealer 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 seriously damage the glass, even to the point of breaking it. See "Access".
ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER KEY
The key operates all the vehicle’slocks as well as the ignition.Note:For safety reasons, a buzzer will sound if you have switched off the ignition and opened the driver’s
door without having removed the
ignition key.
The ke
y can be used to deactivate
the front passenger’s airbag. See"Airbags".
CENTRAL LOCKING USING THE KEY
A brief action with the key locks the vehicle.
Deadlocking: Central locking using the key
A second action straightaway with the key deadlocks the vehicle. It is then
impossible to open the doors from either inside or outside the vehicle.Note:With the vehicle stationary and the engine switched off, locking 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.
ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER
The ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER device locks the engine supply system.
The s
ystem activates automatically as the key is removed from the ignition.
All the vehicle
’s keys contain an electronic immobiliser device.
A
fter you switch on the ignition, a dialogue starts between the key and theelectronic immobiliser device.
If the ke
y is not recognised, you cannot start the vehicle.
If this occurs, leave your vehicle immobilised and contact a CITROËN dealer.

ANTI-INTRUSION ALARM
Your vehicle may be equipped with
an ANTI-INTRUSION ALARM. Thisprovides:Exterior perimeter protection
by means of detectors on the
vehicle access points (doors,
boot, bonnet) as well as on the electrical supply.
Interior volumetric protection
by means of ultrasonic sensors (detecting movement inside thepassenger compartment). This can be deactivated using thecontrol1.


The installation also has a siren,
and a warning lamp on the control1which is visible from outside the
vehicle, indicating the three possi-ble statuses of the alarm:Alarm not active (disarmed),
warning lamp off.
Alarm active
(armed), the
warning lamp fl ashes slowly.
Alarm tri
ggered (signalling an
intrusion), the warning lamp
fl ashes rapidly if the alarm is deactivated by a press on thecontrol A. It stops as soon as you switch on the ignition.Note: If there is a malfunction,
the warning lamp remains perma-nently on.



DEACTIVATION OF THE
ALARM USNG THE REMOTE
CONTROL
The alarm is disarmed when youunlock the vehicle (with a press onbutton Aon the remote control).
DEACTIVATION OF THEALARM WITH THE KEY
Unlock the doors with the key. Thesiren triggers. Enter the vehicle,
insert the key in the ignition and
turn it to the drive position to stopthe siren. Otherwise the siren
will continue for approximately30 seconds.

ANTI-INTRUSION ALARM
OPERATING THE ALARM
First make sure all the doors are closed.
The alarm is armed by pressing button Bon 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 control1 after you have deacti-
vated the alarm with a press on the unlocking button 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.

Deactivating the volumetric detection
You can operate the alarm with perimeter protection
only, by deactivating the volumetric protection (if for example you wish to leave an animal in the vehicle).
For this, switch o
ff the ignition then immediately pressbutton1 for at least one second.
The warning lamp on button1should come perma-nently on. It will start to fl ash when the alarm is armed.
Arm the alarm b
y locking your vehicle with the remotecontrol.
It is recommended to deactivate the volumetric detec-
tion when washing the vehicle in order to prevent the
random triggering of the alarm.
Automatic activation (according to destination)
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 essential to press
the unlocking button A again on the remote control.
