Locking the vehicle
Normal locking
► Press the locking button.
The locking, and the activation of the alarm
depending on version, is confirmed by the
lighting of the direction indicators.
An access (door or boot) that is not properly closed prevents locking of the
vehicle. However, if the vehicle is fitted with
an alarm, it will be activated after 45
seconds.
If the vehicle is unlocked but the doors or boot
are not subsequently opened, the vehicle
will automatically lock itself again after about
30
seconds. If the vehicle is fitted with an
alarm, it will be reactivated automatically.
Locating your vehicle
This function allows you to identify your vehicle
from a distance, particularly in poor light. Your
vehicle must be locked.
► Press the closed padlock button on
the remote control.
This will switch on the courtesy lights and the
direction indicators will flash for a few seconds.
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.
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 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.
