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 transpon-
der code required to order a replace-
ment 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,
except 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 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 con-
trol batteries away, they contain
metals which are harmful to the
environment.
Take them to an approved collection
point.

Model with front and rear
foglamps
In good or rainy weather, both day
and night, use of the front foglamps
and the rear foglamps is prohibited.
In these situations, the power of their
beams may dazzle other drivers.
They should only be used in fog or
falling snow.
In these weather conditions, it is
your responsibility to switch on the
foglamps and dipped headlamps
manually as the sunshine sensor
may detect suffi cient light.
Do not forget to switch off the front
and rear foglamps when they are
no longer needed.
Lighting left on
When a front door is opened with
the ignition off and in manual ligh-
ting mode, an audible signal warns
the driver if the vehicle's lighting is
still on.
In this case, switching off the ligh-
ting stops the audible signal.
With the ignition off, if the dipped
headlamps remain on, they will
switch off automatically after thirty
minutes to prevent discharging of
the battery.
