As a safety measure (children on 
board), never leave the vehicle without 
taking the electronic key for the Keyless 
Entry and Starting system with you, 
even for a short period.
Be aware of the risk of theft when the 
electronic key for the Keyless Entry and 
Starting system is in one of the defined 
zones with the vehicle unlocked.
If one of the doors or the boot is still 
open or if the electronic key for the 
Keyless Entry and Starting system has 
been left inside the vehicle, the central 
locking does not take place.
However, the alarm (if fitted) will be fully 
activated after about 45 seconds.
In order to preserve the battery in the 
electronic key and the vehicle's battery, 
the "hands-free" functions are put into 
long-term standby after 21 days without 
use. To restore these functions, press 
one of the remote control buttons or 
start the engine with the electronic key 
in the reader.
For more information on starting with 
Keyless Entr y and Star ting, refer to 
the corresponding section.
If the vehicle is unlocked by mistake 
and with no action on the doors or boot, 
the vehicle will lock again automatically 
after about 30 seconds.
If fitted to your vehicle, the alarm will 
also be reactivated automatically.
The automatic folding and unfolding 
of the door mirrors can be deactivated 
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop. 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.
