Electronic engine immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip which has a  special   code.   When   the   ignition   is   switched  
o

n,   this   code   must   be   recognised   in   order   for  
s

tarting   to   be   possible.
This
  electronic   engine   immobiliser   locks   the  
e

a

fter   the   ignition   is   switched   off   and   prevents  
s

tarting   of   the   engine   by   anyone   who   does   not

ave   the   key.In the event of a fault, you are
informed
  by   illumination   of   this  
w

i

n   the   screen.
In
  this   case,   your   vehicle   will   not   start;   contact  
a

  CITROËN   dealer   as   soon   as   possible.
