on one of the front door handles (at the
markings) to lock the vehicle.
It is not possible to lock the vehicle if one of the
keys is left inside the vehicle.
The lighting of the direction indicators
for a few seconds signals:
-
l
ocking of the vehicle for versions
without an alarm,
-
a
ctivation of the alarm for other
versions. 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. Accumulations (water, dust, grime,
salt...) on the inner sur face of the door
handle may affect detection.
If cleaning the inner sur face of the door
handle using a cloth does not restore
detection, contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
A sudden splash of water (stream of
water, high pressure jet washer, …)
may be identified by the system as the
desire to open the vehicle.
