out of sight of your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it from working and
the remote control would have to be reinitialised.

ment by the emergency services more diffi cult in an emergency.

ignition switch when you leave the vehicle, even for a short time.

Do not make any modifi cations to the electronic engine immobiliser system;
this could cause malfunctions.

Have the pairing of all of the keys in your possession checked by a
CITROËN dealer, to ensure that only your keys can be used to open and
start the vehicle.
