Deadlocking using the key

 Turn the key to the right in the
driver’s door lock to lock the ve-
hicle completely and hold it in this
position for more than two sec-
onds to close the windows auto-
matically 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 cen-
tral 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 acti-
vated.

 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
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,
number plate lamps and exterior
side lighters (located underneath
the exterior 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.
