Lost keys
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehi-
cle’s V5 registration document and your
p e r s o n a l i d e n t i fi c a t i o n d o c u m e n t s .
The CITROËN dealer will be able to
retrieve the key code and the trans-
ponder code required to order a re-
placement key.
Remote control
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.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons
of your remote control out of range
and out of sight of your vehicle.
You run the risk of stopping it from
working and the remote control
would have to be reinitialised. The
remote control does not operate
when the key is in the ignition, even
when the ignition is switched off, ex-
cept for reinitialisation.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may
make access to the passenger com-
partment by the emergency services
m o r e d i f fi c u l t i n a n e m e r g e n c y .
As a safety precaution (with children
on board), remove the key from the
ignition when you leave the vehicle,
even for a short time. Anti-theft protection
D o n o t m a k e a n y m o d i fi c a t i o n s t o
the electronic engine immobiliser
system; this could cause malfunc-
tions.
When purchasing a second-
hand vehicle
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 throw the remote
control batteries away, they
contain metals which are
harmful to the environment.
Take them to an approved collection
point.

Reinitialisation
If a window does not rise auto-
matically, its operation must be
reinitialised:
pull the control until the window
stops,
release the control and pull it
again until the window closes
fully,
continue to hold the control for
approximately one second after
the window has closed,
press the control to lower the
window automatically to the low
position,
when the window has reached
the low position, press the con-
trol again for approximately
one second.
The safety
anti
-
pinch
function
is not operational during these
operations. Deactivation of the rear
electric window and door
controls
For the safety of your children,
press control 5 to deactivate the
rear electric window controls re-
gardless of their position.
Indicator lamp on, the rear controls
are deactivated.
Indicator lamp off, the rear controls
are activated. Always remove the key from the
ignition when leaving the vehicle,
even for a short time.
If an obstacle is encountered during
operation of the electric windows,
you must reverse the movement of
the window. To do this, press the
control concerned.
When the driver operates the con-
trols for the passengers’ electric
windows, he must ensure that no
one is preventing correct closing of
the windows.
The driver must ensure that the
passengers use the electric win-
dows correctly.
Be aware of children when operat-
ing the windows.
This warning lamp comes
on temporarily on the instru-
ment panel on deactivation
and each time the ignition is
switched on. This control also deactivates the
interior controls for the rear doors
(refer to the section "Child safety -
§ Electric child lock").
Any other status of the indicator
lamp indicates a malfunction of the
electric child lock. Have it checked
by a CITROËN dealer.
