ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER
All of the keys contain an electronic
immobiliser device.
This device locks the engine supply
system. It is activated automatically
when the key is removed from the
ignition.
After the ignition is switched on, a
dialogue is established between the
key and the electronic immobiliser
system.
The remote control does not operate
while the key is in the ignition, even if
the ignition is off.
As a safety precaution (with children
on board), remove the key from the
ignition when leaving the vehicle, even
for a short time.
The metal part of the key must be
unfolded correctly for correct dialogue
to take place.
ALARM
If fitted on your vehicle, this provides
two types of protection:
-
exterior protection: it sounds if a
front/rear door or the bonnet is
opened.
interior protection: it sounds if
the volume inside the passenger
compartment changes (breaking
of a window or a movement inside
the vehicle).
If you lose your keys
When purchasing a second-hand
vehicle:
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the
vehicle’s V5 registration document and
your identification document.
A CITROËN dealer will be able
to retrieve the key code and
the transponder code so that a
replacement key can be ordered.
-
have the keys memorised by a
CITROËN dealer to ensure that
the keys in your possession are
the only ones which can start the
vehicle.
-
If your vehicle is fitted with a separation
partition, the interior protection is not
active in the load space.
Good practice
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even
when it is in your pocket, may result in
involuntary unlocking of the doors.
The simultaneous use of other
high frequency equipment (mobile
telephones, domestic alarms…), may
interfere with the operation of the
remote control temporarily.
Locking the vehicle with
complete alarm
Setting the alarm
-
Switch off the ignition and get out of
the vehicle.
-
Set the alarm within five minutes of
getting out of the vehicle, by locking
or deadlocking using the remote
control. The red diode, located
on the button, flashes once per
second.
