functions according to the level of charge

certain functions, such as the air conditioning,
the heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.

of charge in the battery.
after the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio
equipment, windscreen wipers, dipped

maximum combined period of thirty minutes.

the battery is not fully charged.

appears on the multifunction screen indicating
that the vehicle has switched to economy mode
and the active functions are put on standby.
If the telephone is being used at the
same time on the eMyWay audio

the period for which the engine is left running.
However, this period will always be between
five and thirty minutes.

To fix the automatic locking issue on a 2010 Citroën C3 when the door is not opened after using the remote, check the following:

1. Wiring Check – Inspect the wiring between the door and the door pillar for any damage.
2. Remote Key Test – Try using a spare remote key. If the issue occurs only with one key, the lock button on the faulty remote may be stuck.
3. Manual Unlock Test – Use the key in the door lock instead of the remote. If the car does not relock, the issue is likely with the remote key.
4. BSI Reset – Perform a BSI reset, as this can sometimes resolve locking issues.
5. Battery Check – Ensure the car battery and the key fob battery are fully charged.
6. Child Lock Inspection – If the child lock button is illuminated, check if it is affecting the central locking system.
7. Lock/Unlock Cycle – Try locking and unlocking the car manually using the key to reset the system.

If these steps do not resolve the problem, further diagnosis of the locking relays or the BSI may be required.
