Lost keys
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehi-
cle's V5 registration document and your
personal identifi cation documents.
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 ve-
hicle, 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 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
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. Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifi cations to
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 con-
trol batteries away, they contain
metals which are harmful to the
environment.
Take them to an approved collec-
tion point.
