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.

An aero-acoustic deflector is available to
improve the acoustic comfort of occupants of
the vehicle in certain driving conditions
(high speed), by reducing the turbulence in
the passenger compartment resulting from the
displacement of air.
On opening the roof, the aero-acoustic
deflector is deployed.
On closing the roof, the deflector folds away
automatically.
Aero-acoustic deflectorPrecautions for use
Never place objects on the roof,
whether open or closed.
Never sit on or place objects on the
transverse roof support when the roof
is open. In the event of prolonged storage of the
vehicle outside, it is recommended that
the roof be protected with a cover.
To avoid damaging the roof, do
not open it under snowy or frosty
conditions.
Never use sharp tools to remove ice or
accumulations of snow on the roof.
To limit the creation of folds in the roof
fabric, it is recommended that the roof
not be left open for long periods.
The vehicle's air conditioning system
should not be operated while the roof
is open. It is recommended that the roof be
closed when the vehicle is left parked.
Even if the roof is closed, it is prudent
not to leave any valuable objects inside
the vehicle.
When you leave the vehicle, switch off
the ignition and remove the key (take
the electronic key with you) to avoid any
unwanted operation of the roof.

Recommendations for use
If the interior temperature remains very high after a prolonged period parked in the sun, first
ventilate the passenger compartment for a few minutes.
For an even air distribution, make sure that you do not block the outside air inlet grille, the
vents, the air passages and the air outlets to the footwells.
Ensure that the passenger compartment filter, located behind the glove box in the heater
unit, is in good condition. Have the filter elements replaced regularly. If you drive in dusty
conditions, change them twice as often.
Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month, to keep it in
per fect working order.
In order to ensure that your air conditioning system continues to operate correctly, you are
advised to have it checked regularly.
If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer. The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a flow of water
under the vehicle when stationary which
is per fectly normal.
