special code. When the ignition is switched on, the
code must be recognised for starting to be possible.
In the event of a malfunction, your vehicle will not

As a safety precaution, never leave children alone in the vehicle, except for a very short
period.
In all cases, it is essential to remove the key from the ignition switch, or take the electronic
key with you when leaving the vehicle.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle
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.
