Changing the remote control
battery
Battery ref.: CR1620/3 volts.
The information "battery fl at" is given
by an audible signal, accompanied by
a message on the multifunction display.
To replace the battery, unclip the

If the remote control does not work

ELECTRONIC ENGINE
IMMOBILISER
This locks the engine control system as
soon as the ignition has been switched
off and therefore prevents starting of
the vehicle by anyone who does not
have the key.
The ignition key has an electronic
chip which has a special code. When
the ignition is switched on, the code
must be recognised for starting to be
possible.
If the system does not function
correctly, the central locking button
indicator light, situated on the courtesy
light console, fl ashes rapidly when the
ignition is switched on (2nd notch).
In this case your vehicle will not start.


Contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as
possible.

Good practice

If the keys are lost
A CITROËN dealer will be able
to retrieve the key code and the
transponder code to order a
replacement key if you show him your
V5 registration certifi cate and personal
identifi cation.
Key, remote control
Take care not to allow the key to come
into contact with grease, dust, rain or a
damp environment.
A heavy object attached to the key
(key ring, ...) weighing on the shaft
of the key in the switch may cause a
malfunction.
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 your
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
reprogrammed.
The remote control does not operate
when the key is in the ignition, even
when the ignition is switched off,
except for reprogramming.
Do not make any modifi cations to the
electronic engine immobiliser system.
Safety
In the event of a serious impact the
doors are unlocked automatically
to permit access by the emergency
services.
Remove the ignition key when you
leave the vehicle, even for a short time,
if there are children on board.

Purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Ensure that you are given the anti-theft
socket for alloy wheels (remember to
note the code engraved on the head of
the socket).
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.

General recommendations

It is imperative that the doors are
only operated when the vehicle is
stationary.
Always ensure that the door is
operated safely. Check that no person,
animal or object is preventing the
required operation, either inside or
outside the vehicle.
Do not lean through an open window,
do not leave any object protruding
through the door during opening or
closing.
Do not leave children or pets near the
opening and closing controls without
supervision.


Obstacle detection

The detection system is triggered
when an obstacle which has a certain
physical resistance hinders the
movement of the door.
If an obstacle is detected during:


- closing of the door, the door opens
fully,

- opening of the door, the door stops.
When the obstacle has been removed,
complete or restart the action using the
remote control or the interior controls.
Failure to observe these
recommendations may result in injury
or damage if part of the body or an
object becomes jammed or caught.
