outside
When the vehicle is locked or deadlocked
from the outside, the indicator lamp flashes
and the button is inoperative.

Above 6 mph (10 km/h), this unlocking is
temporary.
It is not possible to lock the vehicle if one of the
keys is left inside the vehicle.
Deadlocking

►


Within 5 seconds, press the door handle
again to deadlock the vehicle.
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, central locking will be disabled.
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 also be reactivated
automatically.
The automatic door mirror folding/ unfolding function is configured via the
touch screen’s vehicle configuration menu.
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.
Accumulations (water, dust, grime, salt, etc.) on the inner surface of the door
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.
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.
