Citroen C3: Remote control / Key / Unlocking/Locking the vehicle
Unlocking the vehicle
Press this button to unlock
the vehicle.
When the unlocking button is pressed, the
flashing of the direction indicators for a few
seconds signals:
- The unlocking of the vehicle for versions
without alarm.
- The deactivation of the alarm for other
versions.
Locking the vehicle
Normal locking
Press this button.
When the locking button is pressed, the lighting
of the direction indicators for a few seconds
signals:
- The locking of the vehicle for versions without
alarm.
- The activation of the alarm for other versions.
If one of the doors or the
boot is not fully
closed, the locking does not take place.
However, if the vehicle is equipped with the
alarm, it is fully activated after about 45
seconds.
If the vehicle is unlocked inadvertently and
there is then no action on the doors or boot,
the vehicle will automatically lock itself again
after about 30 seconds. If the alarm was
activated beforehand, the alarm is reactivated
automatically.
Deadlocking
Press the locking button again within 5
seconds to deadlock the vehicle (confirmed by
the temporary lighting of the direction indicators
for versions without alarm).
Deadlocking renders the
interior door
controls inoperative. It also deactivates
the central locking button.
The horn remains operational.
Never leave anyone inside the vehicle
when it is deadlocked.
The key built into the remote control can be
used for the following operations, depending on
