Lost keys
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the ve-
h i c l e ’ s V 5 r e g i s t r a t i o n c e r t i fi c a t e a n d
y o u r 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 -
ments.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to
retrieve the key code and the trans-
ponder code required to order a
replacement 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
vehicle, 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 work-
ing and the remote control would
have to be reprogrammed.
The remote control does not operate
when the key is in the ignition, even
when the ignition is switched off,
except for reprogramming.
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 t h e
electronic engine immobiliser sys-
tem, this could cause malfunctions.
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 collec-
tion point.

Flicking the accelerator at the mo-
ment of switching off the ignition
could cause serious damage.

Emergency unlocking In the event of the electronic parking
brake malfunctioning or the battery
r u n n i n g fl a t , a n e m e r g e n c y m a n u a l
device can unlock the parking brake.
Immobilise the vehicle, with the
e n g i n e r u n n i n g , b y e n g a g i n g fi r s t
gear (manual gearbox), position
P (automatic gearbox) or M or
R (6-speed electronic gearbox),
then switch off the engine.
If it is impossible to immobilise the vehicle, do not action the
control and urgently contact a
CITROËN dealer.
Fetch the vehicle blocks and the
unlocking device (braided cable)
from the toolbox.
Immobilise the vehicle by plac-
ing blocks at the front and at the
rear of one of the rear wheels.

, it is
essential to continue turning the
device as far as it will go or until
you hear a knocking noise. The
parking brake is released.
Remove the unlocking device
and store it with the blocks in the
toolbox.
- The operation of the parking brake reinitialises when the ig-
nition is switched off then on
again. If the reinitialisation of the
parking brake proves impossi-

than during normal operation.
For safety reasons, after this manoeuvre it is essential to cont act a CITROËN dealer urgently to have the plug
replaced.
Following an emergency unlocking, immobilisation of the vehi cle is no longer guaranteed once the manual emer-
gency unlocking has been deployed and the manual control doe s not allow the re-application of your parking
brake.

The performance of the system may slow down tempor arily if a CD/DVD is being copied onto the Jukebox at the same time as a route is being calculated.
Wait until the CD/DVD has been copied or stop the copying before starting the guidance function.
The altitude is not displayed. On starting, the initialisation of the GPS may take up to 3 minutes to receive more than 4 satellites correctly. Wait until the system has started up completely. Check that there is a GPS coverage of at least 4 satellites (long press on the MENU button, then select AUDIO/TELEPHONE DIAGNOSTICS, then GPS COVERAGE).
Depending on the geographical environment (tunnel, ...) or the weather, the conditions of reception of the GPS signal may vary. This phenomenon is normal. The system is dependent on the conditions of reception of the GPS signal.
The route calculation is not successful. T h e e x c l u s i o n c r i t e r i a m a y c o n fl i c t w i t h t h e c u r r e n t l o c a t i o n ( e x c l u s i o n o f toll roads on a toll motorway). Check the exclusion criteria.
There is a long waiting time after inserting a CD or SD card.
When a new medium is inserted, the system reads a certain amount of data (directory, title, artist, etc.). This may take a few seconds. This phenomenon is normal.
