Access
Locking the vehicle
Normal locking
► Press the locking button.
The locking, and the activation of the alarm
depending on version, is conrmed by the
lighting of the direction indicators.
An access (door or boot) that is not
properly closed prevents locking of the
vehicle. However, if the vehicle is tted with
an alarm, it will be activated after 45
seconds.
If the vehicle is unlocked but the doors or boot
are not subsequently opened, the vehicle
will automatically lock itself again after about
30 seconds. If the vehicle is tted with an
alarm, it will be reactivated automatically.
Locating your vehicle
This function allows you to identify your vehicle
from a distance, particularly in poor light. Your
vehicle must be locked.
► Press the closed padlock button on
the remote control.
This will switch on the courtesy lights and the
direction indicators will ash for a few seconds.
Advice
Remote control
The remote control is a sensitive, high-
frequency device; avoid handling it in your
pocket, due to the risk of unintentionally
unlocking the vehicle.
Avoid pressing the remote control buttons
while out of range of the vehicle, due to
the risk of rendering the remote control
inoperative. It would then be necessary to
reset it.
The remote control does not work when the
key is in the ignition switch, even when the
ignition is switched o󰀨.
Anti-theft protection
Do not modify the electronic vehicle
immobiliser, as this might result in
malfunctions.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked could make
it more di󰀩cult for the emergency services
to enter the passenger compartment in an
emergency.
As a safety precaution, remove the key from
the ignition when leaving the vehicle, even for
a short time.
Purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the key codes memorised by a
CITROËN dealer, to ensure that the keys in
your possession are the only ones able to
start the vehicle.
Central locking
Manual
► Press this button to lock/unlock the vehicle
(doors and boot) from inside the passenger
compartment.
Central locking does not take place if any
of the doors are open.
When locking from the outside
When the vehicle is locked from the
outside, the button is deactivated.
► After normal locking, pull one of the
interior door controls to unlock the vehicle.
