ALARM
I f fi t t e d o n y o u r v e h i c l e , t h i s p r o v i d e s
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
l i g h t s fl a s h f o r t h i r t y s e c o n d s .
Warning - alarm triggered: the red indicator
l i g h t fl a s h e s r a p i d l y , i n s e r t t h e k e y a n d
switch on the ignition to switch it off.
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,
- Switch off the ignition,
- In the next ten seconds, press
b u t t o n A , located on the left-hand
side of the fascia, until the red
indicator light is on continuously,
- Get out of the vehicle,

cause faults.
Setting the alarm
Switch off the ignition and get out of
the vehicle.

or deadlocking using the remote
control (the red indicator light
fl a s h e s o n c e p e r s e c o n d ) . 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
I f fi t t e d o n y o u r v e h i c l e , t h e a l a r m i s s e t
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
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
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.
