Go to a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's registration document, your personal identification documents and if possible the key code label.
The
CITROËN dealer will be able to look up the key code and the transponder code
r
equired to order a new 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 vehicle, without you being aware of it.
Do
not repeatedly press the buttons of your remote control out of range and out of sight of
y
our vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it from working and the remote control would have
t
o be reinitialised.
No
remote control can operate when the key is in the ignition switch, even when the ignition
i
s switched off, except for reinitialisation.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment by the emergency services more difficult in an emergency.
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 when leaving
t
he vehicle.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system; this could c ause m alfunctions.
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.
