two types of protection:
- exterior protection: it sounds if a d o o r , t h e t a i l g a t e o r t h e b o n n e t i s
opened.
- interior protection: it sounds if the volume inside the passenger
c o m p a r t m e n t c h a n g e s ( b r e a k i n g o f
a window or a movement inside the
vehicle).
A red indicator light, located in the
centre of the fascia, indicates the
i n f o r m a t i o n d e t a i l e d b e l o w .
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

W h e n t h e a l a r m h a s b e e n t r i g g e r e d t e n
times in succession (on the eleventh
time) the alarm is deactivated. Repeat
the rules for setting the alarm. - Close the sunroofs,

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.

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
u n l o c k i n g b u t t o n a g a i n . W h e n t h e a l a r m i s s e t b u t t h e

triggered.
