Citroen C3: Access / Locking the vehicle

Normal locking

• With the electronic key in the recognition zone, press with a finger or thumb on one of the front door handles (at the markings) to lock the vehicle.

It is not possible to lock the vehicle if one of the keys is left inside the vehicle.

The illumination of the direction indicators for a few seconds signals:

• The locking of the vehicle for versions without alarm.
• activation of the alarm for other versions.

For safety and theft protection reasons, never leave the electronic key in the vehicle, even when you are close to it. It is recommended that you keep it on your person.

Accumulations (water, dust, grime, salt, etc.) on the inner surface of the door handle may affect detection.

If cleaning the inner surface of the door handle using a cloth does not restore detection, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

A sudden splash of water (stream of water, high pressure jet washer, etc.) may be identified by the system as the desire to open the vehicle.
