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 system 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 fault, you
are informed by illumina-
tion of this warning lamp,
an audible signal and a message in the
screen.
In this case, your vehicle will not start;
contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as
possible.










Starting the vehicle




Insert the key in the ignition switch.
The system recognises the starting
code.


Turn the key fully towards the dash-
board to position 3 (Starting)
.


When the engine starts, release
the key.



A heavy object (key fob...), attached to the key and weighing down on
its shaft in the ignition switch, could
cause a malfunction.


Switching the vehicle off




Immobilise the vehicle.


Turn the key fully towards you to
position 1 (Stop)
.


Remove the key from the ignition
switch.











Key left in the "Ignition on"
position
On opening the driver's door, an alert
message is displayed, accompa-
nied by an audible signal, to remind
you that the key is still in the ignition
switch at position 1 (Stop)
.
If the key has been left in the ignition
switch at position 2 (Ignition on)
, the
ignition will be switched off automati-
cally after one hour.
To switch the ignition back on, turn
the key to position 1 (Stop)
, then
back to position 2 (Ignition on)
.



Keep safely, away from your
vehicle, the label attached to the
keys given to you on acquisition
of the vehicle.







Locating your vehicle

This function allows you to identify your
vehicle from a distance, particularly in

Lost keys

Go to a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's registration document, your
personal identifi cation documents and if possible the key code label.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to look up the key code and the transponder
code required to order a new 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.
No remote control can operate when the key is in the ignition switch, even
when the ignition is switched off, except for reinitialisation.


Locking the vehicle

Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compart-
ment by the emergency services more diffi cult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution, never leave children alone in the vehicle, except for
a very short period.
In all cases, it is essential to remove the key from the ignition switch when
leaving the vehicle.


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 pairing of all of the keys in your possession checked by a
CITROËN dealer, to ensure that only your keys can be used to open and
start the vehicle.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
209









Charging the battery using a
battery charger
It is advisable to disconnect the
battery if the vehicle is to be left
unused for more than one month.












The batteries contain harmful
substances such as sulphuric
acid and lead. They must be
disposed of in accordance with
regulations and must not, in any
circumstances, be discarded
with household waste.
Take used remote control bat-
teries and vehicle batteries to a
special collection point.



Disconnect the battery from the vehicle.



Follow the instructions for use pro-
vided by the manufacturer of the
charger.


Connect the battery starting with the
negative terminal (-).


Check that the terminals and con-
nectors are clean. If they are covered
with sulphate (whitish or greenish
deposit), remove them and clean
them.

Protect your eyes and face be-
fore handling the battery.
All operations on the battery
must be carried out in a well
ventilated area and away from
naked fl ames and sources of
sparks, so as to avoid the risk of
explosion or fi re.
Do not try to charge a frozen
battery; the battery must fi rst
be thawed out to avoid the risk
of explosion. If the battery has
been frozen, before charging
have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop
who will check that the inter-
nal components have not been
damaged and the casing is not
cracked, which could cause a
leak of toxic and corrosive acid.
Do not reverse the polarity and
use only a 12 V charger.
Do not disconnect the terminals
while the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries with-
out disconnecting the terminals
fi rst.
Wash your hands afterwards.



Reinitialisation after
reconnection

After any reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait at least
one minute before starting, to allow
time for the initialisation of the electron-
ic systems.
By referring to the corresponding sec-
tions, you should set or initialise the fol-
lowing systems yourself:


- one-touch electric windows,

- time and date,

- audio and navigation system set-
tings.
Check that no alert message or warn-
ing lamp comes on after switching on
the ignition.
However, if minor problems persist af-
ter carrying out these operations, con-
tact a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.


Some functions are not available
if the battery is not suffi ciently
charged.









Do not push the vehicle to start
the engine if you have an elec-
tronic or automatic gearbox.
With Stop & Start, the battery
does not have to be disconnect-
ed for charging.
