Anti-theft protection

Electronic engine immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip

which has a special code. When the

ignition is switched on, this code must

be recognised in order for starting to be

possible.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks

the engine management system a few

minutes after the ignition is switched off

and prevents starting of the engine by

anyone who does not have the key.

In the event of a fault, you

are informed by illumina-

tion of this warning lamp,

an audible signal and a message in the

screen.
In this case, your vehicle will not start;

contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as

possible.

The system recognises the starting

code.

 Turn the key fully towards the dash-

board to position 3 (Starting) .

to the key and weighing down on

its shaft in the ignition switch, could

cause a malfunction.

Switching the vehicle off

 Immobilise the vehicle.
 Turn the key fully towards you to

position 1 (Stop) .

 Remove the key from the ignition

switch.

Key left in the "Ignition on"

position

message is displayed, accompa-

nied by an audible signal, to remind

you that the key is still in the ignition

switch at position 1 (Stop) .
If the key has been left in the ignition

switch at position 2 (Ignition on) , the

cally after one hour.
To switch the ignition back on, turn

the key to position

1 (Stop) , then

Lost keys

Go to a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's registration document, your

personal identifi cation documents and if possible the key code label.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to look up the key code and the transponder

code required to order a new key.

Do not throw the remote con-

trol batteries away, they contain

metals which are harmful to the

environment.
Take them to an approved col-

lection point.

Remote control

The high frequency remote control is a sensitive system; do not operate

it while 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.
No remote control can operate when the key is in the ignition switch, even

when the ignition is switched off, except for reinitialisation.

Locking the vehicle

Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compart-

ment by the emergency services more diffi cult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution, never leave children alone in the vehicle, except for

a very short period.
In all cases, it is essential to remove the key from the ignition switch when

leaving the vehicle.

Anti-theft protection

Do not make any modifi cations to the electronic engine immobiliser system;

this could cause malfunctions.

When purchasing a second-hand vehicle

Have the pairing of all of the keys in your possession checked by a

CITROËN dealer, to ensure that only your keys can be used to open and

start the vehicle.
