Locking the vehicle

As a safety measure (children on

board), never leave the vehicle without

taking the key for the Keyless Entry and

Starting system, even for a short period.

Be aware of the risk of theft when the

key for the Keyless Entry and Starting

system is in one of the defined zones

with the vehicle unlocked.

open or if the electronic key for the

Keyless Entry and Starting system has

been left inside the vehicle, the central

fully activated after about 45 seconds.

If the vehicle is unlocked by mistake

and with no action on the doors or boot,

the vehicle will lock again automatically

after about 30 seconds.

If the alarm had been activated

previously, it will not be reactivated

automatically.

In order to preserve the battery in the

electronic key and the vehicle's battery,

the "hands-free" functions are put into

long-term standby after 21 days without

use. To restore these functions, press

one of the remote control buttons or

start the engine with the electronic key

the direction indicators will flash for around

ten seconds.

salt...) on the inner surface if the door

If cleaning the inner surface of the door

handle using a cloth does not restore

detection, contact a CITROËN dealer or

a qualified workshop.

Ensure that nothing could prevent the

correct operation of the windows.

Be particularly aware of children when

operating the windows.

A sudden splash of water (stream of

water, high pressure jet washer, …)

working and the remote control would have to be reinitialised.

The remote control does not operate when the key is in the ignition, even when the ignition is switched off.

Locking the vehicle
