control on the ASSISTA NCE card. Keep this in a safe place.

KEYS
It is dangerous to operate the deadlocking when a person is in the vehicle as unlocking is impossible from the inside (without the remote control).
The key number is on the label attached to the key.
Should you lose your key or remote control, a CITROËN dealer can supply replacements.
If you unlock your vehicle using the key because of a problem with the battery, be aware that opening/closing a door with the window closed can seriously damage the glass, even to the point of breaking it. See "Access".
ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER KEY
The key operates all the vehicle’slocks as well as the ignition.Note:For safety reasons, a buzzer will sound if you have switched off the ignition and opened the driver’s
door without having removed the
ignition key.
The ke
y can be used to deactivate
the front passenger’s airbag. See"Airbags".
CENTRAL LOCKING USING THE KEY
A brief action with the key locks the vehicle.
Deadlocking: Central locking using the key
A second action straightaway with the key deadlocks the vehicle. It is then
impossible to open the doors from either inside or outside the vehicle.Note:With the vehicle stationary and the engine switched off, locking is
signalled by the fl ashing of the interior locking control warning lamp.
If any of the doors, or the boot, is open or not properly closed, the central locking does not operate.
ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER
The ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER device locks the engine supply system.
The s
ystem activates automatically as the key is removed from the ignition.
All the vehicle
’s keys contain an electronic immobiliser device.
A
fter you switch on the ignition, a dialogue starts between the key and theelectronic immobiliser device.
If the ke
y is not recognised, you cannot start the vehicle.
If this occurs, leave your vehicle immobilised and contact a CITROËN dealer.
