Deadlocking renders the exterior and
interior door controls inoperative.
It also deactivates the manual cen-
tral control button.

illumination of the exterior side spot
lamps and guide-me-home lighting,
if this is activated.

your vehicle from a distance, espe-
cially when the light is poor. Your ve-
hicle must be locked.

Electronic engine immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip
which has a special code. When the
ignition is switched on, this code
must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
This electronic engine immobiliser
locks the engine management sys-
tem a few minutes after the ignition
is switched off and prevents starting
of the engine by anyone who does
not have the key.
In the event of a mal-
function, you are in-
formed by lighting of
this warning lamp, an
audible signal and a
message on the multifunction screen.
In this case, your vehicle does not
start; contact a CITROËN dealer as
soon as possible.
Folding the key
A press on this button op-
erates the guide-me-home
lighting (lighting of the side-
lamps, dipped beam head-
lamps, number plate lamps
and exterior side spotlamps (located
underneath the door mirrors)).
A second press before the end of
the timing cancels the guide-me-
home lighting.
