Citroen C2 (2008 year). Instruction — part 1

R E M O T E C O N T R O L

Note: The simultaneous use of other
high frequency equipment (mobile
telephones, domestic alarms, etc.)
may momentarily hinder the opera-
tion of the remote control.
If there is a permanent fault, the
remote control has to be reini-
tialised. See "Changing remote
control batteries".

Central unlocking

A short press on control B unlocks your vehicle.
This operation is conﬁ rmed by the rapid ﬂ ashing of the direction indicators

and the lighting of the interior lamp (if the function is activated). It can also
deploy the exterior rear view mirrors.

Central locking – Deadlocking

A short press on button A locks your vehicle.
This is conﬁ rmed by the lighting for around 2 seconds of the direction indica-

tors and by the interior lamp going out. It may cause the exterior rear view
mirrors to fold back.
If any of the doors, or the boot, is open or not properly closed, the central
locking does not operate.
For vehicles equipped with deadlocking, two successive presses on
control A will operate deadlocking. It is then impossible to open the doors,
either from the inside or from the outside.

It is dangerous to operate the deadlocking when a person
is in the vehicle as unlocking is impossible from the inside
(without the remote control).

control on the ASSISTANCE card. Keep this in a safe place.
Do not throw away the old batteries. They should be returned to a
CITROËN

Do not throw

dealer or deposited at a recognised collection point (a camera

shop, for example).

Except when reinitialising, the remote control cannot function
while the key is in the ignition, even when switched off.
Warning: by inadvertently actioning the remote control, when
for example it is in your pocket, you can unlock the vehicle
without your realising it.
However, if none of the doors is opened within thirty seconds
following an unlocking, the doors will automatically relock.
Warning: there is a risk of damage if the replacement battery
is not the correct one.
Only use batteries that are identical or equivalent to those
approved by CITROËN.

the ignition and opened the driver’s
door without having removed the
ignition key.
The key can be used to deactivate
the front passenger’s airbag. See
"Airbags".

Central locking using the key

A brief action with the key locks the vehicle.

Deadlocking: Central locking using the key

A second action straightaway with the key deadlocks the vehicle. It is then
impossible to open the doors from either inside or outside the vehicle.
Note:

With the vehicle stationary and the engine switched off, locking is

signalled by the ﬂ ashing of the interior locking control warning lamp.
If any of the doors, or the boot, is open or not properly closed, the central
locking does not operate.

Electronic immobiliser

The ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER device locks the engine supply system.
The system activates automatically as the key is removed from the ignition.
All the vehicle’s keys contain an electronic immobiliser device.
After you switch on the ignition, a dialogue starts between the key and the
electronic immobiliser device.
If the key is not recognised, you cannot start the vehicle.

Advice

A N T I - I N T R U S I O N A L A R M

Your vehicle may be equipped with
an ANTI-INTRUSION ALARM. This
provides:

Exterior perimeter protection
by means of detectors on the
vehicle access points (doors,
boot, bonnet) as well as on the
electrical supply.
Interior volumetric protection
by means of ultrasonic sensors
(detecting movement inside the
passenger compartment). This
can be deactivated using the
control 1.

•

The installation also has a siren,
and a warning lamp on the con-
trol 1 which is visible from outside
the vehicle, indicating the three
possible statuses of the alarm:

Alarm not active (disarmed),
warning lamp off.
Alarm active (armed), the

warning lamp ﬂ ashes slowly.
Alarm triggered (signalling an
intrusion), the warning lamp

ﬂ ashes rapidly if the alarm is

deactivated by a press on the
control B. It stops as soon as
you switch on the ignition.

Note: If there is a malfunction,
the warning lamp remains perma-
nently on.

•

Deactivation of the alarm
usng the remote control

The alarm is disarmed when you
unlock the vehicle (with a press on
button B on the remote control).

Deactivation of the alarm
with the key

Unlock the doors with the key. The
siren triggers. Enter the vehicle,
insert the key in the ignition and turn
it to the drive position to stop the
siren. Otherwise the siren will con-

tinue for approximately 30 seconds.

Operating the alarm

First make sure all the doors are closed.
The alarm is armed by pressing button A on the remote
control.
With the alarm armed, the protections are active after

5 seconds (perimeter) and 45 seconds (volumetric).
When the alarm is armed (on standby), any intrusion

will trigger the siren for 30 seconds, accompanied by

the direction indicators lighting up.
The alarm then goes back on standby, but the trigger-
ing remains memorised and is signalled by the rapid

ﬂ ashing of the warning lamp on control 1 after you have

deactivated the alarm with a press on the unlocking
button B

. The ﬂ ashing stops when you switch on the

ignition.
The siren is also triggered if there is a cutting of the
electrical supply. To stop it, restore the electrical supply
then press on the unlocking button B.
Note:

If you want to lock your vehicle without arming the
alarm, just lock with the key only.
If you lock your vehicle and a door, or the boot, is
still open, the central locking does not operate but
the alarm will arm itself after approx. 45 seconds.

Note: The siren is automatically deactivated (for example
for disconnecting the battery) as soon as the vehicle is
unlocked using the remote control.

•

Deactivating the volumetric detection

You can operate the alarm with perimeter protection
only, by deactivating the volumetric protection (if for
example you wish to leave an animal in the vehicle).
For this, switch off the ignition then immediately press
button 1 for at least one second.
The warning lamp on button 1 should come perma-

nently on. It will start to ﬂ ash when the alarm is armed.
Arm the alarm by locking your vehicle with the remote
control.

Automatic activation
(according to destination)

The alarm is armed automatically, 2 minutes after the

last door, or the boot, has been closed.
In order to prevent the alarm from triggering when you
open one of the doors or the boot, it is essential to press
the unlocking button B again on the remote control.

required for the turbochargers to
return to a normal speed.
Do not "ﬂ ick" the accelerator at the

moment you switch off the ignition
as this could seriously damage the
turbochargers.
