Citroen Berlingo First (2012 year). Manual - part 4

ACCESS and STARTING -

ELECTRONIC ENGINE

IMMOBILISER

This locks the engine control sys-

tem 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 the vehicle to

start.
If the system does not function

correctly, the central locking button

indicator light, situated in the centre

of the fascia, fl ashes rapidly when the

ignition is switched on (2nd notch),

accompanied by an audible signal

and a message on the display.
In this case your vehicle will not start.
Contact a CITROËN dealer as soon

as possible.

Key in ignition

A buzzer sounds on opening the driv-

er's door, if the key has been left in

the ignition.

Make a careful note of the

number of each key. This

number is coded on the label

attached to the key.

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 the vehi-

cle, without you being aware of it.
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 operate the deadlocking function

if there is anyone inside the vehicle.
Driving with the doors locked may

make access to the passenger com-

partment by the emergency services

more diffi cult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children

on board), remove the key from the

ignition when you leave the vehicle,

even for a short time.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons

of your remote control out of range of

your vehicle.
You run the risk of stopping it from

working and the remote control would

have to be reprogrammed.
When purchasing a second-hand ve-

hicle, 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.
Do not make any modifi cations to the

electronic engine immobiliser system.

If the keys are lost
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehi-

cle's V5 registration certifi cate and your

personal identifi cation documents.
The CITROËN network will be able to

retrieve the key code and the trans-

ponder code to order a replacement

key.

A heavy object (key fob...), attached

to the key and weighing down on

its shaft in the ignition switch, could

cause a malfunction.

THE ALARM SYSTEM *

The alarm offers two types of protection:
-

exterior protection: the alarm

sounds if a door, the boot or the

bonnet is opened ;

sounds if there is a variation in

the

volume inside the vehicle

(breaking of a window or move-

ment inside the vehicle) .

Setting the alarm
Switch the ignition off and get out of

the vehicle.
Activate the alarm within fi ve minutes

following your exit from the vehicle,

by locking using the remote control

key (the red indicator lamp in the

switch 1 , which can be seen from the

outside, fl ashes once a second).

Warning
If, on setting the alarm, a door, the

boot or the bonnet are not closed

correctly, the siren sounds for a mo-

ment.
Close the vehicle correctly to set the

alarm.
If the interior protection alarm is trig-

gered ten times in succession, it is

disarmed automatically. It must be

set again in order for it to operate

correctly.

When the alarm is triggered, the

siren sounds and the direction indi-

cators fl ash for thirty seconds.
After it has been triggered, the alarm

becomes operational again.

ing the key in the door lock.
