If one of the doors or the boot is still open
or if the electronic key for the Keyless
Entry and Starting system has been left
inside the vehicle, the central locking does
not take place.
If the vehicle is unlocked inadvertently
and there is then no action on the doors
or boot, the vehicle will automatically lock
itself again after about 30

seconds.
If fitted to your vehicle, the alarm will also
be reactivated automatically.
The automatic folding and unfolding of the
door mirrors can be deactivated via the
vehicle's configuration menu.
As a
safety measure, never leave the
vehicle without taking the electronic key
for the Keyless Entry and Starting system
with you, even for a
short period.
Be aware of the risk of theft of the vehicle
when the electronic key for the

K
eyless
Entry and Starting system is in one of the
defined zones with the vehicle unlocked. In order to preser ve the battery in the
electronic key and the vehicle's battery,
the "hands-free" functions are put into
long-term standby after 21
days without
use. To restore these functions, press
one of the remote control buttons or start
the engine with the electronic key in the
reader.
For more information on Starting/
Switching off the engine with Keyless
Entr y and Star ting , refer to the
corresponding section.
Locking the vehicle
Normal locking

the front doors (at the markings) or on the
locking control located on the tailgate (on
the right of the control). It is not possible to lock the vehicle if one of the
electronic keys is left inside the vehicle.
Make sure that no item or person could
prevent the correct closing of the windows
and sunroof.
Be particularly aware of children when
operating the windows.
Illumination of the direction indicators for a
few
seconds signals:
-

t
he locking of the vehicle for versions
without alarm,

Accumulations (water, dust, grime, salt
etc.) on the inner sur face of the door
handle may affect detection.
If cleaning the inner sur face of the door
handle using a cloth does not restore
detection, contact a
CITROËN dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
A sudden splash of water (stream of water,
high pressure jet washer, etc.) may be
identified by the system as the desire to
open the vehicle.
Deadlocking
Deadlocking deactivates the exterior
and interior door controls, as well as the
central locking button on the dashboard.
The horn remains operational.
You must therefore never leave anyone
inside the vehicle when it is deadlocked. F

W
ith the electronic key in recognition
zone A , press once with your finger or
thumb on the door handle of one of the front
doors (at the markings) or on the locking
control located on the tailgate (at the right of

Advice
Remote control
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 the vehicle, without you
being aware of it.
Do not press the buttons of your remote
control out of range of your vehicle.
It might stop working. It will then be
necessary to reinitialise it again.
The remote control does not operate when
the key is in the ignition switch, even when
the ignition is switched off.
Electrical interference
The Keyless Entry and Starting electronic
key may not operate if close to certain
electronic devices: telephone, laptop
computer, strong magnetic fields, etc. Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic engine immobiliser system; this
could cause malfunctions.
For vehicles with an ignition switch, do
not forget to remove the key and turn the
steering wheel to engage the steering
lock.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked could make
it more difficult for the emergency ser vices
to enter the vehicle in an emergency.
As a
safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition or
take the electronic key when leaving the
vehicle, even for a
short time.
Purchasing a


second-hand vehicle
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.

carried on the roof bars do not inter fere
with the movement of the sunroof.
Do not place heavy loads on the movable
glass panel of the sunroof.
If the sunroof is wet, following a
shower
or washing the vehicle, wait until it is
completely dry before opening.
Do not operate the sunroof if it is covered
by snow or ice – risk of damage!
Use only plastic scrapers to remove snow
or ice from the sunroof.
If an electric window meets an obstacle
during operation, the movement of the
window must be reversed. To do this,
press the switch concerned.
When the driver operates the passengers'

for regulation of the automatic air
conditioning system.

F
I
f the system does not produce cold air,
switch it off and contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on
a
steep gradient in high temperatures,
switching off the air conditioning increases
the available engine power and so
improves the towing ability. Avoid driving for too long with the
ventilation off and prolonged operation
with recirculation of interior air – risk of
misting and deterioration of the air quality!
If the interior temperature is very high
after the vehicle has stood for a long
time in the sunshine, air the passenger
compartment for a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of water
under the vehicle which is per fectly normal.
