been left inside the vehicle, the central
locking does not take place.

fully activated after about 45 seconds.As a safety measure (children on
board), never leave the vehicle without
taking the key for the Keyless Entry
and Starting system, even for a short
period.
Be aware of the risk of theft when the
key for the Keyless Entry and Starting
system is in one of the defined zones
with the vehicle unlocked.

long-term standby after 21 days without
use. To restore these functions, press
one of the remote control buttons or
start the engine with the electronic key
in the reader (see the "Starting with
the Keyless Entry and Starting system"
section).

after about thirty seconds.

handle using a cloth does not restore
detection, contact a CITROËN dealer

working and the remote control would have to be reinitialised.

for a short time.
