hicle, without you being aware of it.

run the risk of stopping it from work-
ing 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, ex-
cept for reprogramming.

make access to the passenger com-
partment by the emergency services
more diffi cult in an emergency.

on board), remove the key from the
ignition when you leave the vehicle,
even for a short time. Anti-theft protection

Deadlocking using the key


Turn the key to the right in the driv-
er's door lock to lock the vehicle
completely and hold it in this posi-
tion for more than two seconds to
close the windows automatically in
addition to locking.

 Turn the key to the right again
within fi ve seconds to deadlock
the vehicle.
Deadlocking is confi rmed by fi xed
lighting of the direction indicators for
approximately two seconds.
According to version, the exterior
mirrors fold at the same time.
Deadlocking renders the exterior and
interior door controls inoperative.
It also deactivates the manual
central control button.
Therefore, never leave anyone inside
the vehicle when it is deadlocked.
This also triggers the timed switching
on of the exterior lateral lights and
guide-me-home lighting, if this is
activated.
 First press button A to fold the
key.

 Press the closed padlock to lo-
cate your locked vehicle in a car
park.
This is indicated by lighting of the
courtesy lights and exterior side
lights and fl ashing of the direction
indicators for a few seconds. Guide-me-home lighting
A press on button
B operates the
guide-me-home lighting (lighting of
the sidelamps, dipped beams, num-
ber plate lamps and exterior side
lighters (located underneath the ex-
terior rear view mirrors)).
A second press before the end of
the timing cancels the guide-me-
home lighting.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic engine immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip
which has a special code. When the
ignition is switched on, this code
must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
This electronic engine immobiliser
locks the engine management sys-
tem a few minutes after the ignition
is switched off and prevents starting
of the engine by anyone who does
not have the key.
In the event of a mal-
function, you are in-
formed by lighting of
this warning light, an
audible signal and a
message on the multifunction display.
In this case, your vehicle does not
start; contact a CITROËN dealer as
soon as possible.
