ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER
All of the keys contain an electronic
immobiliser device.
This device locks the engine supply system.
It is activated automatically when the key is
removed from the ignition. Operating the remote control, even when it
is in your pocket, may result in involuntary
unlocking of the doors.
However, if none of the doors is opened
within approximately thirty seconds following
unlocking, the doors relock automatically.
The simultaneous use of other high
frequency equipment (mobile telephones,
domestic alarms…), may interfere with the
operation of the remote control temporarily.
The remote control does not operate while
the key is in the ignition, even if the ignition
is off, except for reinitialisation.
Good practice
Make a careful note of the number of the
keys. If they are lost, your CITROËN dealer
will be able to carry out his work more
quickly and effectively if you give him this
number and the confidential card.
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic immobiliser system. This warning light is switched off
after the ignition is switched on
and the key has been recognised,
the engine can be started.
If the key is not recognised, the engine
cannot be started. Use another key and
have the faulty key checked by a CITROËN
dealer.
Driving with the doors locked may make
access to the passenger compartment
b y t h e e m e r g e n c y s e r v i c e s m o r e d i f fi c u l t i n a n
emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition when
leaving the vehicle, even for a short time.
After the ignition is switched on, a dialogue
is established between the key and the
electronic immobiliser system.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle:
- ensure that you are given the confidential card,
- have the keys memorised by a CITROËN dealer to ensure that the keys
in your possession are the only ones
which can start the vehicle. CONFIDENTIAL CARD
This is given to you on delivery of your
vehicle with the duplicate keys.
It contains the identification code necessary
for any work carried out by a dealer on the
electronic immobiliser system. This code is
hidden by a film, which should be removed
only if necessary.
Keep your card in a safe place, never inside
the vehicle.
When undertaking a long trip or journey,
however, it is advisable to take it with you
along with your personal papers.
