it will lock itself again automatically after
about thirty seconds unless a door has
been opened.
And if your vehicle has an alarm, this
will be reactivated (with volumetric
monitoring, even if this had been
deactivated).
"Keyless Entry and
Starting" on your person
This allows the unlocking, locking and starting
the vehicle while keeping the remote control on
your person. As a safety measure (children on
board), never leave the vehicle without
taking your Keyless Entry and Starting
remote control, even for a short period.
Guard against theft when the Keyless
Entry and Starting remote control is in

the remote control buttons or start the
engine with the remote control at the
reader. The folding and unfolding of the door
mirrors by the remote control can be
deactivated by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In the ignition on (accessories) position,
with the "START/STOP" button, the
hands-free function is deactivated.

Anti-theft protection
Electronic engine immobiliser
The remote control 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 moments
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.
In this case, your vehicle will not start; contact
a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.
Keep safely, away from your vehicle,
the label attached to the keys given to
you on acquisition of the vehicle.

Lost keys, remote control
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's
registration certificate, your personal
identification documents and if possible, the
label bearing the key code.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to retrieve
the key code and the transponder code
required to order a new key.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make
access to the passenger compartment by
the emergency services more difficult in an
emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition
or take the remote control with you when
leaving the vehicle, even for a short time.
When purchasing a second-
hand vehicle
Have the key codes memorised by a
CITROËN dealer, to ensure that the keys in
your possession are the only ones which can
start the vehicle.
Electrical interference
The Keyless Entry and Starting remote
control may not operate if close to certain
electronic devices: telephone, laptop
computer, strong magnetic fields, ...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.
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is a
sensitive system; do not operate it while it is
in your pocket as there is a possibility that
it may unlock the vehicle, without you being
aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your
remote control out of range and out of sight
of your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping
it from working and the remote control would
have to be reinitialised.
The remote control does not operate when
the key is in the ignition, even when the
ignition is switched off.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic engine immobiliser system; this
could cause malfunctions.
Do not forget to turn the steering to engage
the steering lock.
