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 .

retrieve the key code and the transpon-
der code required to order a replace-
ment key.

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 wor-
king and the remote control would
have to be reinitialised.
The remote control does not operate

when the ignition is switched off, ex-
cept for reinitialisation.

partment by the emergency services

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.
