Lost keys
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
required to order a new key.
Remote control / Electronic key
These high frequency devices are sensitive systems; do not handle them while in your
pocket as there is a risk of unlocking the vehicle, without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your remote control or electronic key out of range
and out of sight of your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it from working and the remote
control would have to be reinitialised.
Locking the vehicle
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.

T
he system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear.
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to change gear.
The gear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory. In fact, the
configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors when
choosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
The information appears in the
instrument panel in the form of an
ar row. The system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (slope, load,
...) and
the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking,
...).
The system never suggests:
-

e
ngaging first gear,
-
enga

ging reverse gear.
With an ETG electronic gearbox, the
system is only active in manual mode.
With the PureTech 82 engine, the
system only suggests when to
change
up.
