This electronic engine immobiliser locks
the engine management system a few
minutes after the ignition is switched off
and prevents starting of the engine by
anyone who does not have the key.

tion of this warning lamp,

screen.
In this case, your vehicle does not start;
contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as
possible.

mately two seconds.

Lost keys
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's V5 registration document and
your personal identifi cation documents.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to retrieve the key code and the tran-
sponder code required to order a replacement key.
Do not throw the remote con-
trol batteries away, they contain
metals which are harmful to the
environment.
Take them to an approved col-
lection point.
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
vehicle, 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 working 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, except for reinitialisation.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment
by the emergency services more diffi cult in an emergency.
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
Do not make any modifi cations to the electronic engine immobiliser system;
this could cause malfunctions.
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.

PANORAMIC SUNROOF

partment.
Electric blind
Opening
Turn the dial to the left (four possible
settings).
Closing
Return the dial to the initial position.
Safety anti-pinch
If the blind encounters an obstacle dur-
ing closing, it stops and partially opens
again.
If the blind fails to close at a second
attempt, it may be necessary to force
the closing of the blind using the reini-
tialisation procedure.
The blind is controlled electrically by a
rotary dial.
In the event of contact during op-
eration of the blind, you must re-
verse its movement. To do this,
turn the dial.
When the driver operates the
dial, they must ensure that noth-
ing prevents the blind from closing
correctly.
The driver must ensure that the
passengers use the blind cor-
rectly.
Be aware of children during op-
eration of the blind.
Reinitialising the system
Following reconnection of the battery,
or in the event of a malfunction in its
operation, it may be necessary to reini-
tialise the system:
)
turn the dial to the fully closed
position,
)
then immediately press the dial, clos-
ing starts after about 10 seconds,
)
maintain pressure on the dial until
the blind has fully closed.
The anti-pinch function is inoperative
during these operations.
If the position of the blind does not
agree with the position indicated by the
dial, press the dial to open the blind to
this position.
