Lost keys

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

control would have to be reinitialised.
Locking the vehicle

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.

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.
