Anti-theft protection
Electronic engine immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic chip which has
a secret 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.For reasons of safety and theft protection,
do not leave your electronic key in the
vehicle, even when you are close to it.
It is recommended that you keep it on
your person.
In the event of a malfunction, you are informed
by a message in the instrument panel screen.
In this case, your vehicle does not start; contact
a CITROËN dealer if required.
Starting / Switching off the engine with the key
It has 3 positions:
-
p osition 1 (Stop) : insert and removing the
key, steering column locked,
-

p
osition 2 (Ignition on) : steering column
unlocked, ignition on, Diesel preheating,
engine running,
-

p
osition 3 (Starting) .
Ignition switch
Switching off the engine leads to a loss
of braking assistance.
Ignition on position
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.
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.
