When purchasing a second-hand
vehicle:
- have the keys memorised by a CITROËN dealer to ensure that
the keys in your possession are
the only ones which can start the
vehicle.
Good practice
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 immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even
when it is in your pocket, may result in
involuntary unlocking of the doors.
The simultaneous use of other
high frequency equipment (mobile
telephones, domestic alarms…), may
interfere with the operation of the
remote control temporarily.
The remote control does not operate
while the key is in the ignition, even if
the ignition is off.
As a safety precaution (with children
on board), remove the key from the
ignition when leaving the vehicle, even
for a short time.
ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER
All of the keys contain an electronic
immobiliser device.
This device locks the engine supply
system. It is activated automatically
when the key is removed from the
ignition.
After the ignition is switched on, a
dialogue is established between the
key and the electronic immobiliser
system.
The metal part of the key must be
unfolded correctly for correct dialogue
to take place.
If you lose your keys
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the
vehicle's V5 registration document and
y o u r i d e n t i fi c a t i o n d o c u m e n t .
A CITROËN dealer will be able
to retrieve the key code and
the transponder code so that a
replacement key can be ordered.
