Note : The simultaneous use of
other high frequency equipment
(mobile telephones, domestic
alarms...) may momentarily hinder
the operation of the remote con-
trol.
In the event of a permanent fault,
the remote control should be
reinitialised. See “Changing the
remote control battery”.
Locating of the vehicle
To locate the vehicle on a carpark,
press button A, the interior
lamps come on and the direction
indicators lash for a few seconds.
The vehicle remains locked.
When operating the windows and sun roofs by means of
the remote control, the user must make sure that nobody is
obstructing the windows or sun roofs from closing proper ly.
It is dangerous to operate the deadlocking when a perso n is in
the vehicle as unlocking is impossible from the inside (without
the remote control).
Central unlocking
A short press on button
B unlocks your vehicle.
This operation is conirmed by rapid lashing of the direction ind icators and
lighting of the interior lamp (if the function is activated ). This also deploys
the exterior rear view mirrors.

Deadlocking
- A short press on button A locks your vehicle.
- A long press on button A locks your vehicle, closes the windows and
slides the sun roofs. The sun roofs stop in the partially open position. To
close completely, use the interior sunroof control (see page 105 ).
This operation is conirmed by the direction indicators illuminati ng for
approx. two seconds and by the interior lamp switching off. Th e exterior
rear view mirrors will also fold back.
If any of the doors or the boot is open or not properly closed , the central
locking does not operate.
For vehicles equipped with deadlocking, two successive presses on
button A have the effect of deadlocking the vehicle. It is then imp ossible to
open the doors, either from the inside or the outside.

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 lashing of the interior locking control warni ng lamp.

The ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER device locks the engine supply
system.

ignition.
All the vehicle’s keys contain an electronic immobiliser device.
After you switch on the ignition, a dialogue starts between the key and the
electronic immobiliser device.
If the key is not recognised, starting is not possible.
If this occurs, leave your vehicle immobilised and contact a CITRO ËN
