Locking using the key

  • Turn the key clockwise in the driver's door lock to lock the vehicle.

Locking is confirmed by the indicators lighting up for approximately two seconds.

At the same time, depending on the version, the exterior mirrors fold.

If any of the doors or the boot remain open, the central locking will not operate. If the vehicle is locked and is accidentally unlocked, it will lock again after thirty seconds unless a door or the boot is opened. Folding and unfolding the exterior rear-view mirrors using the remote control can be disabled at a CITROËN dealership or a specialist workshop.
