The CITROËN dealer will be able to re-
trieve the key code and the transponder
code required to order a replacement
key.
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 ve-
hicle, 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 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.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may
make access to the passenger com-
partment by the emergency services
m o r e d i f fi c u l t i n a n e m e r g e n c y .
As a safety precaution (with children
on board), remove the key from the
ignition when you leave the vehicle,
even for a short time. Anti-theft protection
D o n o t m a k e a n y m o d i fi c a t i o n s t o
the electronic engine immobiliser
system, this could cause malfunctions.
When 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.
Do not throw the remote
control batteries away, they
contain metals which are
harmful to the environment.
Take them to an approved collection
point.

Deadlocking using the key

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

D e a d l o c k i n g i s c o n fi r m e d b y fi x e d
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.
Locating your vehicle
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
l i g h t s a n d fl a s h i n g o f t h e d i r e c t i o n
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.
