It  is  dangerous  to  operate  the  deadlocking  when  a  person  is  inside  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.

Deadlocking: Central locking using the key
A  second  immediate  action  with  the  key  deadlocks  the  vehicle.  I t  is  then impossible to open the doors from the interior or exterior.Note:With  the  vehicle  stationary  and  the  engine  switched  off,  locking  is  sig- n a l l e d   b y   t h e   fl   a s h i n g   o f   t h e   i n t e r i o r   l o c k i n g   c o n t r o l   w a r n i n g   l a m p .
If any of the doors, or the boot, is open or not properly clo sed, the 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 igni tion.
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, you cannot start the vehicle
If  this  occurs,  leave  your  vehicle  immobilised  and  contact  a  CITRO ËN dealer.

In  the  event  of  a  change  of  vehicle  ownership,  it  is essential  for  the  new owner to possess the CODE card.
Never leave it in the vehicle.
Never attempt to modify the electronic immobiliser’s electrical circuit, as that could render your vehicle undriveable .
Should  the  confidential  card  be  lost,  contact  a CIT ROËN dealer.

This  card  bears  a  hidden  access code  for  the  use  of  the  CITROËN dealer  when  servicing  the  elec-tronic immobiliser device.
Do  not  scratch  the  protective strip,  the  security  of  the  immobi-liser  system  depends  on  the  infor-mation below remaining covered.
Should  the  card  be  lost,  your immobiliser  system  can  no  longer be considered secure.
Advice
Keep the code card bearing your personal electronic immobiliser numb er in a safe place (never in the vehicle).

Operating the alarm
First make sure all the doors are closed.
The alarm is armed by pressing button C on 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.  The  triggering remains  memorised.  The  warning  lamp  on  button A fl   a s h e s   q u i c k l y   w h e n   t h e   a l a r m   i s   d e a c t i v a t e d   b y   p r e s s -ing  the  unlocking  button B .    T h i s    fl   a s h i n g    s t o p s    w h e n  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 B.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.

Economy mode
When  the  engine  is  stopped,  some  functions  (radio,  screen  wipe ,  electric windows, sunroof, electric seats, telephone, video etc) are only electrically supplied for about 30 minutes, to avoid discharging the battery.
Once the 30 minutes are over, a message appears on the instrumen t panel screen and the active functions are put on standby.
The electrical components relating to comfort and also the headlamps (not sidelamps  or  hazard  warning  lamps)  cut  out  automatically.  To  react ivate them, it is necessary to start the engine.
