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

pocket as there is a possibility that it may unlock the vehicle, without you being aware of it.

your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it from working and the remote control would have
to be reinitialised.
No remote control can operate when the key is in the ignition switch, even when the ignition
is 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.

period.
In all cases, it is essential to remove the key from the ignition switch when leaving the vehicle.
Anti-theft protection

cause malfunctions.
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.Do not throw the remote control
batteries away, they contain metals
which are harmful to the environment.
Take them to an approved collection
