REMOTE CONTROL

Deadlocking
KEY
S


Deadlocking renders the internal
and external door locking
controls inoperative. Never leave
anyone inside the vehicle when it is
deadlocked.
If the deadlocking is operated from
inside the vehicle, it will change to
normal locking when the vehicle is
started.

ACCESS

Press the closed padlock to
lock the vehicle.

This is confi rmed by fi xed
lighting of the direction
indicators for approximately
two seconds.


Central locking

From the driver's door or passenger
door, the keys allow you to lock,
deadlock or unlock the doors and
tailgate, as well as fold back the
exterior mirrors.
If one of the doors or the tailgate is
open, the central locking does not
work.

The remote control performs the
same functions at a distance.
The key allows you to switch on the
ignition and to mechanically operate
the lock on the fuel fi ller cap, the glove
box, the passenger airbag disarming
switch and the mechanical child lock.


Normal locking

If your vehicle is fi tted with
deadlocking, a second
press
on the closed padlock
within fi ve seconds of locking
changes this to deadlocking.
This is confi rmed by fi xed lighting

Changing the remote control
battery
Battery ref.: CR1620/3 volts.
The information "battery fl at" is given
by an audible signal, accompanied by
a message on the multifunction display.
To replace the battery, unclip the
casing using a coin at the ring.
If the remote control does not work
after the battery has been changed,
re-programme the remote control.

Reinitialising the remote control

Following changing of the
remote control battery or
disconnection of the vehicle
battery, the remote control
may have to be reinitialised.
Do not discard the remote control
batteries, they contain metals which
are harmful to the environment.


Take them to a CITROËN dealer , or to

switch with the buttons
(padlocks) of the remote control
facing you.

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

If 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.

ALARM

If fi tted on your vehicle, this provides
two types of protection:


- exterior protection: it sounds if a
door, the tailgate or the bonnet is
opened.

- interior protection: it sounds if
the volume inside the passenger
compartment changes (breaking of
a window or a movement inside the
vehicle).
A red indicator light, located in the
centre of the fascia, indicates the
information detailed below.
To lock your vehicle without setting the
alarm, insert the key in the lock then
lock the vehicle (e.g. for washing).
When the alarm is triggered, the siren
sounds and the direction indicator lights
fl ash for thirty seconds.
Warning - alarm triggered: the red indicator
light fl ashes rapidly, insert the key and
switch on the ignition to switch it off.
When the alarm has been triggered ten
times in succession (on the eleventh time)
the alarm is deactivated. Repeat the rules
for setting the alarm.




-
Close the sunroofs,


-
Switch off the ignition,


-
In the next ten seconds, press
button A
, located on the left-hand
side of the fascia, until the red
indicator light is on continuously,


-
Get out of the vehicle,


-
Within the next fi ve minutes, set the
alarm by locking or deadlocking using
the remote control (the red indicator
light fl ashes once a second).
Do not make any modifi cations
to the alarm system as this could
cause faults.


Setting the alarm




-
Switch off the ignition and get out of
the vehicle.


-
Set the alarm within fi ve minutes of
getting out of the vehicle, by locking
or deadlocking using the remote
control (the red indicator light

Disarming

Unlock the vehicle with the remote
control (the red indicator light goes out).


To set the alarm with exterior
protection only
If, while you are away from the vehicle,
you wish to leave a window partially
open or a pet inside the vehicle, you
should choose exterior protection only.

Incorrect operation

When the ignition is switched on, if the red
indicator light remains on for ten seconds,
there is a fault in the siren connection.

Consult a CITROËN dealer to have the
system checked.


Automatic setting of the alarm

If fi tted on your vehicle, the alarm is set
automatically 2 minutes after the last
door or the tailgate is closed.
To prevent triggering of the alarm when
a door or the tailgate is opened, it is
imperative to press the remote control
unlocking button again. When the alarm is set but the
remote control does not operate:



-
Unlock the doors with the key
and open the door. The alarm is
triggered.


-
Switch on the ignition in the
next ten seconds. The alarm is
disarmed.

Do not lean through an open window,
do not leave any object protruding
through the door during opening or
closing.
Do not leave children or pets near the
opening and closing controls without
supervision.


Obstacle detection

The detection system is triggered
when an obstacle which has a certain
physical resistance hinders the
movement of the door.
If an obstacle is detected during:


- closing of the door, the door opens
fully,

- opening of the door, the door stops.
When the obstacle has been removed,
complete or restart the action using the
remote control or the interior controls.
Failure to observe these
recommendations may result in injury
or damage if part of the body or an
object becomes jammed or caught.
