If the vehicle is unlocked but the doors or
tailgate are not subsequently opened, the
vehicle will automatically lock itself again after
approximately 30
seconds. If the vehicle is
fitted with an alarm, it will also be reactivated
automatically.
Automatic door mirror folding and unfolding can be deactivated by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
As a safety measure, never leave the vehicle, even for a short time, without
taking the Keyless Entry and Starting
system’s electronic key with you.
Be aware of the risk of theft of the vehicle if
the key is present in one of the defined areas
while the vehicle is unlocked.
To preserve the battery charge in the electronic key and the vehicle's battery,
the "hands-free" functions are set to
hibernation mode 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 the
Keyless Entry and Starting system, refer to
the corresponding section.
Electrical interference
The electronic key may not operate if
close to certain electronic devices: telephone
(switched on or on standby), laptop computer,
strong magnetic fields, etc.
Locating the vehicle
This function helps you to spot your vehicle from
a distance, with the vehicle locked:
–
The direction indicators flash for approximately
10 seconds.
–
The courtesy lamps come on.
► Press this button.
Remote lighting
Briefly pressing this button switches on
the lighting remotely (sidelamps,
dipped beam headlamps and number plate

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 vehicle 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.
