Good practice
Do not make any modifications 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 identification 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 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.
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 fitted 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 fitted with a separation
partition, the interior protection is not
active in the load space.
Locking the vehicle with
complete alarm
Setting the alarm
- Switch of f the ignition and get out of
the vehicle.
-
Set the alarm within five minutes of
getting out of the vehicle, by locking
or deadlocking using the remote
control.
The red LED, located in the
button, flashes once per second.

Reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again.
The system is active again; this is
confirmed by the switch warning
lamp going off and a message in the
instrument panel.The system is reactivated
automatically at every new start
using the key.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction
with the system, the "ECO
OFF" switch warning lamp
flashes, then comes on
continuously.
have it checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode,
the vehicle may stall. All of the warning
lamps in the instrument panel come
on. It is then necessary to switch off
the ignition and start the engine again
using the key.
Maintenance
Before working under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system
to avoid any risk of injury resulting
from automatic operation of START
mode.
This system requires a specific
battery with a special specification
and technology (reference numbers
available from a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by
CITROËN
introduces the risk of
malfunction of the system.
The Stop & Start system makes
use of advanced technology. All
work on this type of battery must
be done only by a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
