Advice
Remote control
The remote control is a sensitive, high-
frequency device; avoid handling it in your 
pocket, due to the risk of unintentionally 
unlocking the vehicle.
Avoid pressing the remote control buttons 
while out of range of the vehicle, due to 
the risk of rendering the remote control 
inoperative. It would then be necessary to 
reset it.
The remote control does not work
  when the 
key is in the ignition switch, even when the 
ignition is switched off.
Anti-theft protection
Do not modify the electronic vehicle 
immobiliser, as this might result in 
malfunctions.
For vehicles with a key ignition switch, 
remember to remove the key and turn the 
steering wheel to engage the steering lock.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked could make 
it more difficult for the emergency services 
to enter the passenger compartment in an 
emergency.
As a safety precaution, remove the key from 
the ignition or take the electronic key with you 
when leaving the vehicle, even for a short 
time.

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 able to 
start the vehicle.

handle may affect detection.
If cleaning the inner surface 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, etc.) may be 
identified by the system as the desire to open 
the vehicle.

Lighting and visibility
Switching off of the lighting when the 
ignition is switched off 
When the ignition is switched off, all of the 
lamps turn off immediately, except for the 
dipped beam headlamps if automatic guide-
me-home lighting is activated.
Switching on the lamps after 
switching off the ignition
If the driver's door is opened, a temporary 
audible signal warns the driver that the lamps 
are on.
They will go off automatically after a period 
of time that depends on the level of charge in 
the battery (entering energy economy mode).
In some weather conditions (e.g. low 
temperature or humidity), misting on the 
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps 
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear 
after the lamps have been on for a few 
minutes.
Never look too closely at the light beam 
of LED technology lamps - risk of serious 
eye injury!
 
 
Travelling abroad
If planning to use your vehicle in a 
country that drives on the other side of the 
road, the dipped beam headlamps must be 
adjusted to avoid dazzling oncoming drivers. 
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Direction indicators 
 
► Left or right: lower or raise the lighting control 
stalk, beyond the point of resistance.
If you keep the direction indicators on for 
more than 20 seconds, the volume of the 
audible signal will increase if the speed is 
above 50 mph (80 km/h).
Three flashes
► Press briefly upwards or downwards, without 
going beyond the point of resistance; the 
direction indicators will flash 3 times.
Parking lamps
(Depending on version)
Vehicle side marking by lighting the sidelamps 
on the traffic side only.
►
 
Within one minute after switching off the 
ignition, operate the lighting control stalk 
upwards or downwards, depending on the side 
of the traffic (e.g.
  when parking on the right, push 
the lighting control stalk down to light up on the 
left).
This is confirmed by an audible signal and the 
lighting of the corresponding direction indicator 
lamp on the instrument panel.
