Opening/closing of the electric
sliding side doors
A long press on one of the C
controls ( C1 for right hand door,
C2 for left hand door) opens or
closes the corresponding electric
sliding door.
Note: if the vehicle is locked, a
long press on one of the C controls
unlocks the vehicle and opens
the corresponding electric sliding
door.
Folding and ejection of the key
Button D is for folding and ejecting
the key from its housing in the
remote control.
If you do not press on button D, you
could damage the mechanism. Except when reinitialising, the remote control cannot functi
on
while the key is in the ignition, even when switched off.
Warning: By inadvertently actioning the remote control, wh en for
example it is in your pocket, you can unlock the vehic le without
your realising it.
However, if none of the doors are opened within thirty se conds
following an unlocking, the doors will automatically re lock.
Warning: There is a risk of damage if the replacement ba ttery is
not the correct one.
Only use batteries that are identical or equivalent to thos e
approved by CITROËN.
HF remote control battery discharged
This information is given by a message on the MULTIFUNCTION D
ISPLAY,
accompanied by a sound signal and by lighting of the SERVICE w arning
lamp.
Changing the remote control battery
Detach the housing to access the battery.
Battery: CR 120: 3V.
Re-initialisation of the remote control
After a change of battery, the remote control has to be re-ini tialised. To
do this, switch on the ignition and immediately press button A on your
remote control until it operates the action required. This can take some ten
seconds.
Note: Make a careful note of the numbers for the keys and for the remo te
control on the ASSISTANCE card. Keep this in a safe place.
Do not throw away the old batteries. They should be retur ned to
the CITROËN dealer or deposited in a recognised recycl ing facility
(camera shops etc).

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
driver’s door without previously
removing the ignition key.
The key can be used to deactivate
the front passenger’s airbag (see
“Airbag”).
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).
The key number is on the label attached to the key.
Should you lose your key or remote control, the CITROËN dealer
network can supply replacements.
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 lashing of the interior locking control warni ng lamp.
If any of the doors, or the boot, is open or not properly cl osed, central
locking does not operate.
Electronic immobiliser
The ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER device locks the engine supply
system.
The system activates automatically as the key is removed from the
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
dealer.

A conidential card is given to the
new owner when he takes delivery
of his new vehicle.
This card bears a hidden access
code for the use of the CITROËN
dealer when maintaining the
electronic immobiliser device.
Do not scratch the protective
strip , the security of the immobil-
iser system depends on the infor-
mation below remaining covered.
Should the card be lost, the
immobiliser device can no longer
be considered secure.
Never attempt to modify the electronic immobiliser’s electr ical
circuit, as that could render your vehicle undriveable .
Should the conidential card become lost, a CITROËN deale r
would have to undertake a major repair.
In the event of a change of vehicle ownership, it is essenti
al for the new
owner to possess the CODE card.
Never leave it in the vehicle.
Advice
C O D E C A R D
Keep the code card bearing your personal electronic immobiliser numb er
in a safe place (never in the vehicle).
If any key modiications become necessary (addition, cancellation or
replacement of the key), you must take the conidential card toget her with
all the keys to a CITROËN dealer.
Also, for any operation on your vehicle’s electronic systems, CITROËN
may need to request this card from you.
