MIRRORS
Door mirrors
E a c h fi t t e d w i t h a n a d j u s t a b l e m i r r o r
glasses providing the lateral rear-
ward vision necessary for overtaking
or parking. They can also be folded.
Adjustment
With the ignition on:
move control A to the right or to
the left to select the corresponding
mirror,
move control B in all four direc-
tions to adjust,
return control A to the central po-
sition. Demisting/defrosting of the door
mirrors is associated with that of
the rear screen.
Folding
from outside; lock the vehicle
using the remote control or the
key.
from inside; with the ignition on,
pull control A rearwards.
If the mirrors are folded using
control A , they will not unfold when
the vehicle is unlocked. Control A
must be pulled again.
Unfolding
from outside; unlock the vehicle
using the remote control or the
key.
from inside; with the ignition on,
pull control A rearwards.

a long press on control A re-engages
the mirror.
The folding and unfolding of the exte-
rior mirrors using the remote control
can be deactivated by a CITROËN
dealer. The objects observed are, in reality,
closer than they appear.
Take this into account in order to
correctly judge the distance of ve-
hicles approaching from behind.

hicle battery, replacement of the re-
mote control battery or in the event
of a remote control malfunction, you
can no longer unlock, lock or locate
your vehicle.
First of all, use the key in the lock
to unlock or lock your vehicle.
Then, reinitialise the remote con-
trol.
If the problem persists, contact a
CITROËN dealer as soon as pos-
sible.

Press the closed padlock imme-
diately for a few seconds, until

tional again. Battery ref.: CR0523/3 volts.

Lost keys
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehi-
cle's V5 registration document and your p e r s o n a l i d e n t i fi c a t i o n d o c u m e n t s .
The CITROËN dealer will be able to
retrieve the key code and the tran-
sponder code required to order a re-
placement key.
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is
a sensitive system; do not operate it
while it is in your pocket as there is a
possibility that it may unlock the ve-
hicle, without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons
of your remote control out of range
and out of sight of your vehicle. You
run the risk of stopping it from work-
ing and the remote control would
have to be reinitialised.
The remote control does not operate
when the key is in the ignition, even
when the ignition is switched off, ex-
cept for reinitialisation.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may
make access to the passenger com-
partment by the emergency services
m o r e d i f fi c u l t i n a n e m e r g e n c y .
As a safety precaution (with children
on board), remove the key from the
ignition when you leave the vehicle,
even for a short time. Anti-theft protection
D o n o t m a k e a n y m o d i fi c a t i o n s t o
the electronic engine immobiliser
system; this could cause malfunc-
tions.
When purchasing a second-
hand vehicle
Have the key codes memorised by a
CITROËN dealer, to ensure that the
keys in your possession are the only
ones which can start the vehicle.
Do not throw the remote con-
trol batteries away, they con-
tain metals which are harmful
to the environment.
Take them to an approved collec-
tion point.
