Self-protection function
The system checks for the disconnection of any
of its components.
The alarm is triggered if the battery, central
control unit or the siren wiring is put out of
service or damaged.
For all work on the alarm system, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Locking the vehicle with
alarm system
Activation
► Switch off the ignition and get out of the
vehicle.
► Lock the vehicle using the remote control or
the Keyless Entry and Starting system.
The monitoring system is active. The locking
button’s indicator lamp, located on the
dashboard, flashes once per second and
the direction indicators come on for about 2
seconds.
Following an instruction to lock the
vehicle, the exterior perimeter monitoring
is activated after a delay of 5 seconds.
If an opening (door, boot, etc.) is not fully
closed, the vehicle is not locked but the
exterior perimeter monitoring will be activated
after a delay of 45 seconds.
Deactivation
► Unlock the vehicle with the Keyless Entry and
Starting system.
The monitoring system is deactivated: the
indicator lamp in the button goes off and the
direction indicators flash for about 2 seconds.
When the vehicle automatically locks
itself again (as happens if a door or boot
is not opened within 30 seconds of
unlocking), the monitoring system is also
reactivated.
Triggering of the alarm
This is indicated by sounding of the siren
and flashing of the direction indicators for 30
seconds.
The monitoring functions remain active until
the alarm has been triggered eleven times
consecutively.
When the vehicle is unlocked using the remote
control or the Keyless Entry and Starting system,
rapid flashing of the locking button indicator lamp
informs you that the alarm was triggered during
your absence. When the ignition is switched on,
this flashing stops immediately.
Failure of the remote control
To deactivate the monitoring functions:
► unlock the vehicle using the key (integral to
the remote control) in the driver's door lock,
► open the door; the alarm is triggered,
► switch on the ignition; the alarm stops; the
button’s indicator lamp goes off.
Locking the vehicle without
activating the alarm
► Lock or deadlock the vehicle using the key
(integral to the remote control) in the driver's
door lock.
Malfunction
When the ignition is switched on, and for 10
seconds afterwards, the flashing locking button
indicates a system fault.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
