Good practice
Do not make any modifi cations to the
electronic immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even
when it is in your pocket, may result in
involuntary unlocking of the doors.
The simultaneous use of other
high frequency equipment (mobile
telephones, domestic alarms…), may
interfere with the operation of the
remote control temporarily.
The remote control does not operate
while the key is in the ignition, even if
the ignition is off.
ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER
All of the keys contain an electronic
immobiliser device.
This device locks the engine supply
system. It is activated automatically
when the key is removed from
the ignition.
After the ignition is switched on, a
dialogue is established between the
key and the electronic immobiliser
system.
The metal part of the key must be
unfolded correctly for correct dialogue
to take place.
If you lose your keys
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the
vehicle's V5 registration document and
your identifi cation document.
A CITROËN dealer will be able
to retrieve the key code and
the transponder code so that a
replacement key can be ordered.
When leaving the vehicle, check that
the lamps are off and nothing of value
is visible.
As a safety precaution (with children
on board), remove the key from the
ignition when leaving the vehicle, even
for a short time.
When purchasing a second-hand
vehicle:
- have the keys memorised by a
CITROËN dealer to ensure that
the keys in your possession are
the only ones which can start the
vehicle.

From the inside
Unlock and open the side door using
this handle, guiding the rearward
sliding to the point of resistance. Pass
this point to hold the door open.
Good practice
Take care not to block the guide space
on the fl oor to allow the door to slide
correctly.
If your vehicle is parked on a slope,
guide the sliding of the side door. In
fact, the door could open or close more
rapidly due to the slope of the ground
and could cause injury.
For safety and operation reasons, do
not drive with the sliding side door
open.
From the outside
Pull the handle towards you then
towards the rear and open the side
door, guiding the rearward sliding to
beyond the point of resistance to hold
it open.

battery failure

In practice
It is possible to drive with the right-
hand door open to make it easier to
carry long loads. The left-hand door is
kept closed by the distinctive "yellow"
lock, positioned at the base of the door.
This closed door must not be used as
a load retainer.
Driving with the right-hand door open
is a special dispensation. Comply with
the usual safety indications to warn
other drivers.
HINGED REAR DOORS
From outside
Pull the lever to open the right-hand
door.
To close, start with the right-hand door
then close the left-hand door.
To open, pull the handle towards you. The hinged rear doors are
asymmetrical (2/3 - 1/3), with the
smaller door on the right.
They are fi tted with a central lock.
With the roof rear fl ap, the rear
bumper has been reinforced to
serve as a footrest when entering
the vehicle.

Opening to approximately 180°
A check strap system permits

direction who may not
have seen your vehicle,
use a warning triangle
or other device required
