Unlocking/Complete or
selective unlocking
What is the purpose of
complete or selective
unlocking?
Complete unlocking unlocks all the vehicle’s
doors (front, side and rear).
Selective unlocking unlocks either the cab
doors, or the doors of the loading area (side
and rear).
Advice
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 press the remote control buttons
when out of range of the vehicle: risk of
making it inoperable. It would then be
necessary to reinitialise it.
The remote control does not operate when
the key is in the ignition switch, even when
the ignition is switched off.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make modifications to the
electronic engine immobiliser system
; this
could cause malfunctions.
For vehicles with a key ignition switch,
do not forget 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 ser vices
to enter the vehicle in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on
board), 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
received keys are the only ones which can
start the vehicle.
Accumulations (water, dust, grime, salt,
etc.) 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, etc.) may be
identified by the system as the desire to
open the vehicle.
