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  
r

equired   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  
a

nd   out   of   sight   of   your   vehicle.   You   run   the   risk   of   stopping   it   from   working   and   the   remote  
c

ontrol   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  
k

ey   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.
Driving
  with   the   doors   locked   may   make   access   to   the   passenger   compartment   by   the  
e

mergency   services   more   difficult   in   an   emergency.

* Depending on version.
Y our   vehicle   may   be   fitted   with   an   electrically   operated   fabric   roof.
Electric fabric ro

Electric opening and closing
The roof is opened and closed by pressing t
he   control   at   the   interior   lamp,   in   the   opening  
d

irection
 1
  and   in   the   closing   direction   2.
In order to maintain the state of charge of t
he   battery,   it   is   recommended   that   the   roof b

e   operated   with   the   engine running.
Operation of the roof is possible with
the
  ignition   on   and   when   driving.
Operation
  of   the   roof   could   cause  
s

erious   injuries:   before   operating   the  
r

oof, ensure that no occupant of the
vehicle
  or   person   outside   the   vehicle  
c

ould   be   subject   to   any   risk   related  
t

o   the   movement   of   the   roof   and   that  
n

o   object   could   inter fere   with   the  
ope

ration.
During
  operation   of   the   roof   with   just  
t

he   ignition   on,   starting   the   engine   may  
c

ause   the   roof   to   stop,   depending   on  
t

he   state   of   charge   of   the   battery.   To  
h

ave the roof continue the operation,
operate
  the   control   again   after   the  
e
