As a safety measure (children on

board), never leave the vehicle without

taking the electronic key for the Keyless

Entry and Starting system with you,

even for a short period.

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, the central

locking does not take place.

Be aware of the risk of theft when the

electronic key for the Keyless Entry and

Starting system is in one of the defined

zones with the vehicle unlocked.

However, the alarm (if fitted) will be

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 fitted to your vehicle, the alarm will

also 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

in the reader.

The automatic folding and unfolding

of the door mirrors can be deactivated

by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop.

If cleaning the inner surface of the door

handle using a cloth does not restore

detection, contact a CITROËN dealer

A sudden splash of water (stream of

water, high pressure jet washer, …)

Locking the vehicle

When purchasing a second-

hand vehicle

Driving with the doors locked may make

access to the passenger compartment by

the emergency services more difficult in an

emergency.

As a safety precaution (with children on

board), remove the key from the ignition or

take the electronic key when you leave the

vehicle, even for a short time.

Have the key codes memorised by a

CITROËN dealer, to ensure that the

keys in your possession are the only

ones which can start the vehicle.

Electrical interference

Do not throw the remote control

batteries away, they contain metals

which are harmful to the environment.

Take them to an approved collection

point.

key may not operate if close to certain

electronic devices: telephone, laptop

computer, strong magnetic fields, ...

it is in your pocket as there is a possibility

that it may unlock the vehicle, without you

being aware of it.

Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your

remote control out of range and out of sight

of your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping

it from working and the remote control

would have to be reinitialised.

Anti-theft protection

Do not make any modifications to the

electronic engine immobiliser system; this

could cause malfunctions.

For vehicles with an ignition switch, do

not forget to remove the key and turn the

steering to engage the steering lock.

the key is in the ignition, even when the

ignition is switched off.
