When leaving the vehicle, check that
the lamps are off and nothing of value
is visible.
As a safety precaution (with children
on board), remove the key from the
ignition when leaving the vehicle, even
for a short time.
Good practice
Do not make any modifi cations to the
electronic immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even
when it is in your pocket, may result in
involuntary unlocking of the doors.
The simultaneous use of other
high frequency equipment (mobile
telephones, domestic alarms…), may
interfere with the operation of the
remote control temporarily.
The remote control does not operate
while the key is in the ignition, even if
the ignition is off.
ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER
All of the keys contain an electronic
immobiliser device.
This device locks the engine supply
system. It is activated automatically
when the key is removed from the
ignition.
After the ignition is switched on, a
dialogue is established between the
key and the electronic immobiliser
system.
The metal part of the key must be
unfolded correctly for correct dialogue
to take place.
If you lose your keys
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the
vehicle's V5 registration document and
your identifi cation document.
A CITROËN dealer will be able
to retrieve the key code and
the transponder code so that a
replacement key can be ordered. When purchasing a second-hand
vehicle:
- have the keys memorised by a
CITROËN dealer to ensure that
the keys in your possession are
the only ones which can start the
vehicle.
ALARM
If fi tted on your vehicle, this provides
two types of protection:
- exterior protection: it sounds if a front/rear door 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).
If your vehicle is fi tted with a separation
partition, the interior protection is not
active in the load space.

- 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

the procedure for setting the alarm.
Locking the vehicle without

Failure of the remote control
When the alarm is set but the remote
control does not operate:
- Unlock the doors with the key and open the door. The alarm is triggered.
- Switch on the ignition in the next ten seconds. The alarm is disarmed.
Incorrect operation
When the ignition is switched on, if the
red LED remains on for ten seconds,
there is a fault in the siren connection.
Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the
system checked.
Automatic setting of the alarm
Depending on the country in which
the vehicle is sold, the alarm is set
automatically approximately 2 minutes
after the last door is closed.

a door is opened, you have to press
the remote control unlocking button
again.
Do not make any modifi cations
to the alarm system as this could
cause faults.
