ALARM
If fitted on your vehicle, this provides two
types of protection:
- exterior protection: it sounds if a front/rear door or the bonnet is opened.
- interior protection: it sounds if the volume inside the passenger compartment
changes (breaking of a window or a
movement inside the vehicle). Disarming
- Unlock the vehicle with the remote
control or switch on the ignition, the red
diode goes out.
Good practice
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even when it
is in your pocket, may result in involuntary
unlocking of the doors.
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.
As a safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition
when leaving the vehicle, even for a short
time.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle:
- 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. Locking the vehicle with complete

Setting the alarm
- Switch off the ignition and get out of the
vehicle.
- Set the alarm within five minutes of getting out of the vehicle, by locking or
deadlocking using the remote control.
The red diode, located on the centre console, flashes once per second. Locking the vehicle 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.
- Switch off the ignition.
- In the next ten seconds, press this button, located on the
centre console, until the red
diode is on continuously.
- Get out of the vehicle.
- Within the next five minutes, set the alarm by locking or deadlocking using

Triggering
The siren sounds, the direction indicators
flash for approximately 30 seconds and the
red diode flashes rapidly.
- To switch it off, insert the key and switch on the ignition.
When the alarm has been triggered ten
times in succession (when triggered for the
eleventh time) it is deactivated. Repeat the
rules for setting the alarm. Incorrect operation
When the ignition is switched on, if the red
diode remains on for ten seconds, there is a
fault in the siren connection.
Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the
system checked.
Locking the vehicle without alarm
- Insert the key in the lock on the driver's door and lock it.
Do not set the alarm when washing your
vehicle.
Failure of the remote control
When the alarm is set but the 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. Automatic setting of the alarm
Depending on the country in which the
vehicle is sold, the alarm is set automatically
approximately 2 minutes after the last door
is closed.
To prevent triggering of the alarm when a
door is opened, it is imperative to press the
remote control unlocking button again.
Do not make any modifications to
the alarm system as this could cause
faults.
