Lost keys
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehi-
cle's V5 registration document and your personal identifi cation documents.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to
retrieve the key code and the trans-
ponder code required to order a
replacement 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 vehi-
cle, 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.

when the ignition is switched off, ex-
cept for reinitialisation.
Locking the vehicle

Deadlocking using the key

 Turn the key to the right in the driv-
er's door lock to lock the vehicle
completely and hold it in this posi-
tion for more than two seconds to
close the windows automatically
in addition to locking.

 Turn the key to the right again
within fi ve seconds to deadlock
the vehicle.
Deadlocking renders the exterior and
interior door controls inoperative.
It also deactivates the manual cen-
tral control button.
Therefore, never leave anyone inside
the vehicle when it is deadlocked.
Deadlocking also triggers the timed
illumination of the exterior side spot
lamps and guide-me-home lighting,
if this is activated.

 First press this button to fold the
key.
Locating your vehicle
This function allows you to identify
your vehicle from a distance, especial-
ly when the light is poor. Your vehicle
must be locked.

 Press the closed padlock on the
remote control.
This will bring on the courtesy lamps
and exterior side spotlamps, as well
as fl ashing the direction indicators
for a few seconds. Guide-me-home lighting
Anti-theft protection
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 oper-
ates the guide-me-home light-
ing (lighting of the sidelamps,
dipped beam headlamps,
number plate lamps and exte-
rior side spotlamps (located underneath
the door mirrors)).
A second press before the end of the
timing cancels the guide-me-home
lighting.
Deadlocking is confi rmed by fi xed
lighting of the direction indicators for
approximately two seconds.
According to version, the door mir-
rors fold at the same time.
