REMOTE CONTROL

Deadlocking
KEY
S


Deadlocking renders the internal

controls inoperative. Never leave
anyone inside the vehicle when it is
deadlocked.
If the deadlocking is operated from
inside the vehicle, it will change to

Press the closed padlock to
lock the vehicle.

This is confi rmed by fi xed
lighting of the direction
indicators for approximately
two seconds.


Central locking

From the driver's door or passenger
door, the keys allow you to lock,
deadlock or unlock the doors and
tailgate, as well as fold back the
exterior mirrors.
If one of the doors or the tailgate is
open, the central locking does not
work.

The remote control performs the
same functions at a distance.
The key allows you to switch on the
ignition and to mechanically operate
the lock on the fuel fi ller cap, the glove
box, the passenger airbag disarming
switch and the mechanical child lock.


Normal locking

If your vehicle is fi tted with
deadlocking, a second

within fi ve seconds of locking
changes this to deadlocking.
This is confi rmed by fi xed lighting

ALARM

If fi tted on your vehicle, this provides
two types of protection:


- exterior protection: it sounds if a
door, the tailgate or the bonnet is
opened.

- interior protection: it sounds if
the volume inside the passenger
compartment changes (breaking of
a window or a movement inside the
vehicle).
A red indicator light, located in the
centre of the fascia, indicates the
information detailed below.
To lock your vehicle without setting the
alarm, insert the key in the lock then
lock the vehicle (e.g. for washing).
When the alarm is triggered, the siren
sounds and the direction indicator lights
fl ash for thirty seconds.
Warning - alarm triggered: the red indicator
light fl ashes rapidly, insert the key and
switch on the ignition to switch it off.
When the alarm has been triggered ten
times in succession (on the eleventh time)
the alarm is deactivated. Repeat the rules
for setting the alarm.




-
Close the sunroofs,


-
Switch off the ignition,


-
In the next ten seconds, press
button A
, located on the left-hand
side of the fascia, until the red
indicator light is on continuously,


-
Get out of the vehicle,


-
Within the next fi ve minutes, set the
alarm by locking or deadlocking using
the remote control (the red indicator
light fl ashes once a second).
Do not make any modifi cations
to the alarm system as this could
cause faults.


Setting the alarm




-
Switch off the ignition and get out of
the vehicle.

Set the alarm within fi ve minutes of
getting out of the vehicle, by locking
or deadlocking using the remote

Disarming

Unlock the vehicle with the remote
control (the red indicator light goes out).


To set the alarm with exterior
protection only
If, while you are away from the vehicle,
you wish to leave a window partially
open or a pet inside the vehicle, you
should choose exterior protection only.

Incorrect operation

When the ignition is switched on, if the red
indicator light remains on for ten seconds,
there is a fault in the siren connection.

Consult a CITROËN dealer to have the
system checked.


Automatic setting of the alarm

If fi tted on your vehicle, the alarm is set
automatically 2 minutes after the last
door or the tailgate is closed.
To prevent triggering of the alarm when
a door or the tailgate is opened, it is
imperative to press the remote control
unlocking button again. When the alarm is set but the
remote control does not operate:



-
