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)
.

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
poor light. Your vehicle must be locked.
Press the closed padlock
on the remote control.
This will switch on the courtesy lamps
and the direction indicators will fl ash for
around ten seconds.
