KEY

REMOTE CONTROL

Unlocking

This locks and unlocks the vehicle's

doors, opens and closes the fuel ﬁller

cap, as well as starting and stopping

the engine.

Deadlocking

Press this button to unlock all

of your vehicle's doors.

A second press on the closed

padlock on the remote control within

ﬁve seconds after locking changes the

locking to deadlocking.

This is conﬁrmed by ﬁxed lighting

of the direction indicators for

approximately two seconds.

The direction indicators ﬂash twice.

Deadlocking renders the exterior

and interior door opening handles

inoperative: do not leave anyone inside

the vehicle when it is deadlocked.

Locking

Press this button to lock all of

your vehicle's doors.

If deadlocking is activated from inside

the vehicle using the remote control, it

will change to normal locking when the

vehicle is started.

The direction indicators ﬂash once.

If one of the doors is open or is not

closed correctly, the central locking will

not work.

Access

Unfolding / folding

If you do not press the button,

you may damage the key's

folding mechanism.

Good practice

Take care not to allow the remote

control to come into contact with

grease, dust, rain or a damp

environment.

A heavy object attached to the key

(key ring, ...) weighing on the shaft

of the key in the switch, may cause a

malfunction.

Reinitialising the remote

control

Following changing of the remote

control battery or disconnection of the

vehicle battery, the remote control may

have to be reinitialised.

Wait at least one minute before using

the remote control.

Insert the key in the ignition switch with

the buttons (padlocks) of the remote

control facing you.

Use only identical batteries or

batteries of an equivalent type to

those recommended by CITROËN

dealers.

REMOTE CONTROL

Changing the battery

Battery ref.: CR1620 / 3 volts.

The "battery ﬂat" information is given

by an audible signal, accompanied by

a message in the screen.

To replace the battery, unclip the

casing using a coin at the ring.

If the remote control does not work

after the battery has been changed,

reinitialise the remote control.

Do not discard the remote control

batteries, they contain metals which

are harmful to the environment.

Deposit them at a CITROËN

dealership, or at an authorised

collection point.

Switch on the ignition.

Press the locking padlock for at

least ﬁve seconds within the next

ten seconds.

Switch off the ignition.

Wait at least one minute before using

the remote control.

The remote control is now working

again.

There is a risk of damage if the

replacement battery is not the correct

type.

ELECTRONIC

IMMOBILISER

All of the keys contain an electronic

When purchasing a second-hand

vehicle, have the keys memorised by

a CITROËN dealer, so as to be sure

that the keys in your possession are

the only ones that can be used to start

the vehicle.

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 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:

If you lose your keys

Visit a CITROËN dealer with the

vehicle's V5 registration certiﬁcate and

your identiﬁcation document.

-

exterior protection: it sounds if a

front/rear door or the bonnet is

opened.

A CITROËN dealer will be able

to retrieve the key code and

the transponder code so that a

replacement key can be ordered.

-

interior protection: it sounds if

the volume inside the passenger

compartment changes (breaking of

a window or a movement inside the

vehicle).

Good practice

Do not make any modiﬁcations to the

electronic immobiliser system.

If your vehicle is ﬁtted with a separation

partition, the interior protection is not

active in the load space.

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

Don't forget

When leaving the vehicle, check that

the lighting is off and nothing of value

is visible.

As a safety precaution (with children

on board), remove the key from the

ignition when leaving the vehicle, even

for a short time.

-

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 LED, located in the

button, ﬂashes once per second.

The remote control does not operate

while the key is in the ignition, even if

the ignition is off.

Access

Disarming

Locking the vehicle without

alarm

-

Unlock the vehicle with the remote

control or switch on the ignition, the

red LED goes off.

-

Insert the key in the lock on the

driver's door and lock it.

Do not set the alarm when washing

exterior protection only

your vehicle.

Failure of the remote control

If, while you are away from the vehicle,

you wish to leave a window partially

open or a pet inside the vehicle, you

should choose exterior protection only.

When the alarm is set but the remote

control does not operate:

-

Unlock the doors with the key and

open the door. The alarm is triggered.

-

Switch off the ignition.

FRONT DOORS

-

Switch on the ignition in the

next ten seconds. The alarm is

disarmed.

From the outside

-

In the next ten seconds,

press the button until the

red LED is on continuously.

Use the remote control to lock/unlock

the vehicle.

Incorrect operation

Insert the metal part of the key in the

lock on the driver's side if the remote

control does not work.

When the ignition is switched on, if the

red LED remains on for ten seconds,

there is a fault in the siren connection.

Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the

system checked.

-

Get out of the vehicle.

Within the next ﬁve minutes, set

the alarm by locking or deadlocking

using the remote control (the red

LED ﬂashes once a second).

Automatic setting of the alarm

Depending on the country in which

the vehicle is sold, the alarm is set

automatically approximately 2 minutes

after the last door is closed.

To prevent triggering of the alarm when

a door is opened, you have to press

the remote control unlocking button

again.

Triggering

The siren sounds, the direction indicators

ﬂash for approximately 30 seconds and

the red LED ﬂashes rapidly.

-

To switch it off, insert the key and

switch on the ignition.

When the alarm has been triggered ten

times in succession (when triggered for the

eleventh time) it is deactivated. Repeat the

procedure for setting the alarm.

Do not make any modiﬁcations

to the alarm system as this could

cause faults.

From the inside

Use the door opening control to unlock

and open the door concerned.

Access

SLIDING SIDE DOORS

From the outside

From the inside

Good practice

Pull the handle towards you then

towards the rear and open the side

door guiding the rearward sliding to

beyond the point of resistance to hold

it open.

A mechanical system prevents opening

of the left-hand side door when the fuel

ﬁller ﬂap is open.

Unlock the side door using this handle

and open it, guiding the rearward

sliding to the point of resistance. Pass

this point to hold the door open.

Take care not to block the guide space

on the ﬂoor to allow the door to slide

correctly.

If your vehicle is parked on a slope,

guide the sliding of the side door. In

fact, the door could open or close more

rapidly due to the slope of the ground

and could cause injury.

Close the side door using the handle

to start the sliding and pass the point

of resistance. Then, use the shaped

recess at the top of the door pillar to

guide the door until it locks.

For safety and operation reasons, do

not drive with the sliding side doors

open.

Do not use the grab handle to slide the

door.
