KEYS
It is dangerous to operate the deadlocking when a person 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, a CITROËN dealer can supply replacements.
If you unlock your vehicle using the key because of a problem with the battery, be aware that opening/closing a door with the window closed can seriously damage the glass, even to the point of breaking it. See "Access".
ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER KEY
The key operates all the vehicle’slocks 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 having removed the
ignition key.
The ke
y can be used to deactivate
the front passenger’s airbag. See"Airbags".
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 sig-nalled by the fl ashing of the interior locking control warning lamp.
If any of the doors, or the boot, is open or not properly closed, the cen-tral locking does not operate.
ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER
The ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER device locks the engine supply system.
The s
ystem activates automatically as the key is removed from the ignition.

’s keys contain an electronic immobiliser device.

ANTI-INTRUSION ALARM
Your vehicle may be equipped with
an ANTI-INTRUSION ALARM. Thisprovides:Exterior perimeter protection
by means of detectors on the
vehicle access points (doors,
boot, bonnet) as well as on the electrical supply.
Interior volumetric protection
by means of ultrasonic sensors (detecting movement inside thepassenger compartment). This can be deactivated using thecontrol1.
•
•
The installation also has a siren,
and a warning lamp on the con-
trol1 which is visible from outside
the vehicle, indicating the three
possible statuses of the alarm:Alarm not active (disarmed),
warning lamp off.
Alarm active
(armed), the
warning lamp fl ashes slowly.
Alarm tri
ggered (signalling an
intrusion), the warning lamp
fl ashes rapidly if the alarm is deactivated by a press on thecontrol A. It stops as soon as you switch on the ignition.Note: If there is a malfunction,
the warning lamp remains perma-nently on.

ANTI-INTRUSION ALARM
OPERATING THE ALARM
First make sure all the doors are closed.
The alarm is armed by pressing button Bon 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, but the trigger-
ing remains memorised and is signalled by the rapid fl ashing of the warning lamp on control1 after you have deactivated the alarm with a press on the unlocking button A. The fl ashing stops when you switch on the ignition.
The siren is also tri
ggered if there is a cutting of the electrical supply. To stop it, restore the electrical supply
then press on the unlocking button A.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 example for disconnecting the battery) as soon as the vehicle is unlocked using the remote control.

Deactivating the volumetric detection
You can operate the alarm with perimeter protection
only, by deactivating the volumetric protection (if for example you wish to leave an animal in the vehicle).
For this, switch o
ff the ignition then immediately pressbutton1 for at least one second.
The warning lamp on button1should come perma-nently on. It will start to fl ash when the alarm is armed.
Arm the alarm b
y locking your vehicle with the remotecontrol.
It is recommended to deactivate the volumetric detec-
tion when washing the vehicle in order to prevent the
random triggering of the alarm.
Automatic activation (according to destination)
The alarm is armed automatically, 2 minutes after the
last door, or the boot, has been closed.
In order to prevent the alarm from triggering when you
open one of the doors or the boot, it is essential to press
the unlocking button A again on the remote control.
