Anti-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.In the event of a fault, you are 
informed by illumination 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-switching off the engine
Keep safely, away from your vehicle, 
the label attached to the keys given to 
you on acquisition of the vehicle.
Ignition switch
It has 3 positions:
- position  1 (Stop): insert and removing 
the key,
- position  2 (Ignition on) : steering column 
unlocked, ignition on, Diesel preheating, 
engine running,
- position  3 (Starting).
Ignition on position
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric 
equipment or portable devices to be charged.
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the 
key or the remote control, which would 
weigh down on its blade in the ignition 
switch and could cause a malfunction.
It could adversely affect the deployment 
of the front airbag.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks the 
engine management system a few moments 
after the ignition is switched off and prevents 
starting of the engine by anyone who does not 
have the key.
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.
