ELECTRONIC ENGINE
IMMOBILISER
This locks the engine control system as
soon as the ignition has been switched
off and therefore prevents starting of
the vehicle by anyone who does not
have the key.
The ignition key has an electronic
chip which has a special code. When
the ignition is switched on, the code
must be recognised for starting to be
possible.
If the system does not function
correctly, the central locking button
indicator light, situated on the courtesy
light console, fl ashes rapidly when the
ignition is switched on (2nd notch).
In this case your vehicle will not start.
Contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as
possible. Good practice
In the keys are lost
A CITROËN dealer will be able
to retrieve the key code and the
transponder code to order a
replacement key if you show him your
V5 registration certifi cate and personal
identifi cation.
Key, remote control
Take care not to allow the key to come
into contact with grease, dust, rain or a
damp environment.
A heavy object attached to the key
(key ring, ...) weighing on the shaft
of the key in the switch may cause a
malfunction.
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 your
vehicle, 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
working and the remote control would
have to be reprogrammed.
The remote control does not operate
when the key is in the ignition, even
when the ignition is switched off,
except for reprogramming.
Do not make any modifi cations to the
electronic engine immobiliser system. Safety
In the event of a serious impact the
doors are unlocked automatically
to permit access by the emergency
services.
Remove the ignition key when you
leave the vehicle, even for a short time,
if there are children on board.
Purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Ensure that you are given the anti-theft
socket for alloy wheels (remember to
note the code engraved on the head of
the socket).
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.
