 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 dealer. 
 Driving with the doors locked may 
make access to the passenger 
compartment by the emergency services 
more difficult in an 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.

Accesses While the alarm is monitoring, any intrusion  
triggers the siren for approximately 
30 seconds, accompanied by lighting of the 
direction indicators.  
 The alarm then returns to monitoring mode  
but the triggering event is stored and is 
indicated by rapid flashing of the diode, if 
the alarm is deactivated.  
 The alarm is also triggered following an  
electrical supply cut-off, when the supply is 
restored.   
  Automatic  activation  
 Depending on the country in which the  
vehicle is sold: this function activates 
monitoring automatically approximately 
2 minutes after the last door is closed. To 
avoid triggering the alarm when opening a 
door, the unlocking button on the remote 
control must be pressed again.   
  Deactivation  using  the  key  
 Unlock the doors using the key and enter the  
vehicle. Switch on the ignition, identification 
of the key code will switch off the alarm.     Deactivation using the remote control 
 When this button (cab and key) is 
pressed, the alarm is deactivated 
when the vehicle is unlocked.  
  Deactivation  of  the  anti-lift  
protection   Press this button to deactivate the  
protection (for example when the 
vehicle is being towed with the 
alarm set). 
 The protection remains active until the 
central unlocking of the doors is activated.   
  Good  practice  
  
To deactivate the siren quickly following  
unwanted triggering:   
   -   switch on the ignition, identification of  the key code will switch off the alarm, 
  -   press the unlocking button (cab and key)  on the remote control.  
 To avoid setting the alarm, when washing 
the vehicle for example, lock the vehicle 
using the key.  
 Unlocking the vehicle using the remote  
control deactivates the siren automatically.  
 ALARM 
 If your vehicle is fitted with an ANTI-THEFT  
ALARM.  
  
this provides:   
   -   exterior perimeter protection by means  of detectors on the doors and bonnet  
and on the electrical supply,   
  -   anti-lift protection.   
  
The equipment also includes a siren and  
a diode which can be seen from outside, 
indicating the three possible statuses of 
the alarm:   
   -   alarm activated (monitoring), slow  flashing of the red diode, 
  -   alarm not activated (not monitoring),  diode off, 
  -   alarm triggered (intrusion signal), rapid  flashing of the red diode when the 
vehicle is unlocked.  
  Activation  of  the  alarm  
 First ensure that all of the accesses are  
closed correctly.   The alarm is activated by 
pressing this padlock, the 
protection is active after a 
few seconds.
