It has 3 positions:
- p osition 1 (Stop) : insert and removing the
key,
-
p
osition 2 (Ignition on) : steering column
unlocked, ignition on, Diesel preheating,
engine running,
-
p
osition 3 (Star ting) .
Ignition switch
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric
equipment or portable devices to be charged.
Once the state of charge of the battery drops
to the reserve level, the system switches to
energy economy mode: the power supply is
cut off automatically to preserve the remaining
battery charge.
Ignition on positionAnti-theft protection
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 illumination of this
warning lamp, an audible signal
and a message in the screen.
Keep safely, away from your vehicle,
the label attached to the keys given to
you on acquisition of the vehicle. Avoid attaching heavy objects to the
key, which would weigh down on its
blade in the ignition switch and could
cause a malfunction.
In this case, your vehicle will not start; contact
a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.
