ELECTRONIC ENGINE
IMMOBILISER
This locks the engine control system as soon as the ignition has been switched off and therefore prevents starting of the vehicle by anyone who does not have the key.
The ignition key has an electronic chip which has a special code. When the ignition is switched on, the code must be recognised for starting to be possible.
If the system does not function correctly, the central locking button indicator light, situated on the courtesy light console, fl ashes rapidly when the ignition is switched on (2nd notch).
In this case your vehicle will not start.
Contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.
Good practice
Key, remote control
Take care not to allow the key to come into contact with grease, dust, rain or a damp environment.
A heavy object attached to the key
(key ring, ...) weighing on the shaft of the key in the switch may cause a malfunction.
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 your 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 reprogrammed.
The remote control does not operate when the key is in the ignition, even when the ignition is switched off, except for reprogramming.
Do not make any modifi cations to the electronic engine immobiliser system.
If the keys are lost
A CITROËN dealer will be able to retrieve the key code and the transponder code to order a replacement key if you show him your
V5 registration certifi cate and personal identifi cation.
Safety
In the event of a serious impact the doors are unlocked automatically to permit access by the emergency services.
Remove the ignition key when you leave the vehicle, even for a short time, if there are children on board.
Purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Ensure that you are given the anti-theft socket for alloy wheels (remember to note the code engraved on the head of the socket).
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.
