Remote control
The remote control transmitter
emits a high frequency signal
which offers the following advan-
tages:
- does not require aiming at the re-
ceiver in the vehicle.
- can be operated from behind the vehicle and penetrates any load
on board.
- has a range of several metres.
Note: The simultaneous use of oth-
er high frequency equipment (mo-
bile telephones, domestic
alarms...) may momentarily hinder
the operation of the remote control
In the event of a permanent fault,
the remote control should be reini-
tialised.
See: “Changing the remote control
battery”. Remote control battery used up
Accompanied by an audible signal, this information is provi
ded by a mes-
sage on the multifunction screen.
Changing the remote control battery
Unscrew and detach the cover to access the battery.
Battery: CR 1620 3V.
The remote control must be reinitialisedafter changing the batteries.
For this, switch on the ignition and press one of the buttons o n your remote
control until the required action is achieved. This manoeuv re may take some
ten seconds.
To protect your vehicle against theft
Before leaving your vehicle:
- Completely close all windows and do not leave objects visib le inside.
- Remove the ignition key, turn the steering wheel to engage t he steering lock
and lock all doors.
The remote control key numbers are given on the special card p rovided for
this purpose.
Keep it in a safe place.
Do not throw away the old batteries.
They should be returned to the CITROËN dealer or deposited in a recognised recycling facility
(camera shops etc).

IIIIK e y s
Note:The key can be used to de-
activate the front passenger’s air-
bag (see “Airbag”). Electronic immobiliser key
The key operates all the vehicle’s locks as well as the igniti
on.
Central locking using the key
The key can be used in the driver’s door to activate the lockin g and unlocking
of the doors and tailgate.
The central locking will not operate if a door is open, or not p roperly closed.
Note: Locking causes the interior lamps to go out, and a diode in the hazard
warning lamp button to flash.
If the diode fails to flash after about ten seconds, consult y our CITROËN Dealer.
Unlocking the vehicle causes the front interior lamps to com e on.
The ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER locks the engine’s supply syste m.
The system arms automatically when the key is removed from th e igntiion.
All the vehicle’s keys contain an electronic immobiliser de vice.
Only your keys can start your vehicle.
Insert your key into the ignition.
After the ignition is switched on, a dialogue commences betw een the key and
the electronic immobiliser device.
If the key is not recognised, starting is impossible.
The key number is on the label attached to the key.Should you lose your key or remote control,
the CITROËN dealer network can supply replacements.

IIIIC O D E c a r d
CODE card
A confidential card is given to the
new owner when he takes delivery
of his new vehicle.
This card bears a hidden access
code for the use of the CITROËN
dealer when maintaining the elec-
tronic immobiliser device.
Do not scratch the protective
strip, the security of the immobilis-
er system depends on the informa-
tion below remaining covered.
Should the card be lost, the immo-
biliser device can no longer be con-
sidered secure. In the event of a change of vehicle ownership, it is essential
for the new owner
to possess the CODE card.
Never leave it in the vehicle.
Advice
Keep the coded card bearing your personal electronic immobi liser number in
a safe place (never in the vehicle).
Should you lose your key or remote control, the CITROËN deale r net-
work can supply replacements using these numbers.
If any key modifications become necessary (addition, cance llation or re-
placement of the key), you must take the confidential card to gether with all
the keys to a CITROËN dealer.
Never attempt to modify the electronic immobiliser's elect rical
circuit, as that could render your vehicle undriveable.Sho uld the
confidential card become lost, a Citroën dealer would have t o
undertake a major repair.

Ensure that the gear lever is in neutral (manual gearbox)
or in position P or N (automatic gearbox).
PETROL
Starting the engine
- Do not depress the accelerator pedal.
- Operate the starter motor (maximum 10 seconds) until the en gine starts.
- At temperatures below 0°C, depress the clutch pedal to ease starting, then release it slowly.
Release the key as soon as the engine starts.
Note: If it does not work at first, switch off the ignition, wait for ten seconds, then operate the starter again as described
above.
DIESEL
Starting the engine
Turn the key to the starter position, wait for the preheater w arning lamp to go out, then operate the starter until the en-
gine is running (not more than 10 seconds).
If the engine does not start, switch off the ignition then rec ommence the procedure.
In temperatures below 0°C, declutch while turning the engin e over to facilitate starting. Afterwards slowly release the
clutch pedal.
Note: During starting, do not touch the accelerator.
Advice
Vehicles equipped with a Turbo
Turbo equipped engines MUST be allowed to return to idle for s everal seconds before switching off the ignition. Failure
to do so could cause serious damage to the turbo unit.
Flicking the throttle pedal as the ignition is turned off can lead to severe damage to the turbo unit.
DO NOT RUN THE ENGINE IN A SPACE THAT IS ENCLOSED OR INSUFFICIE NTLY VENTILATED.
