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.
