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.

An aero-acoustic deflector is available to improve   the   acoustic   comfort   of   occupants   of  
t

he   vehicle   in   certain   driving   conditions  
(high
  speed),   by   reducing   the   turbulence   in  
t

he   passenger   compartment   resulting   from   the  
d

isplacement   of   air.
On
  opening   the   roof,   the   aero-acoustic  
d

eflector   is   deployed.
On
  closing   the   roof,   the   deflector   folds   away  
au

tomatically.
Aero-acoustic deflector Precautions for use
Never place objects on the roof, w
hether   open   or   closed.
Never
  sit   on   or   place   objects   on   the  
t

ransverse roof support when the roof
is
  open. In
  the   event   of   prolonged   storage   of   the  v
ehicle   outside,   it   is   recommended   that  
t

he   roof   be   protected   with   a   cover.
To
  avoid   damaging   the   roof,   do  
n

ot   open   it   under   snowy   or   frosty  
c

onditions.
Never
  use   sharp   tools   to   remove   ice   or  
a

ccumulations   of   snow   on   the   roof.
To
  limit   the   creation   of   folds   in   the   roof  
f

abric,   it   is   recommended   that   the   roof  
n

ot   be   left   open   for   long   periods.
The
  vehicle's   air   conditioning   system  
s

hould   not   be   operated   while   the   roof  
i

s   open. It
  is   recommended   that   the   roof   be  
c

losed   when   the   vehicle   is   left   parked.
Even
  if   the   roof   is   closed,   it   is   prudent  
n

ot   to   leave   any   valuable   objects   inside  
t

he   vehicle.
When you leave the vehicle, switch off
the
  ignition   and   remove   the   key   (take  
t

he   electronic   key   with   you)   to   avoid   any  
u

nwanted   operation   of   the   roof.

Recommendations on care of your vehicle
The general recommendations on the care of your vehicle are given in the maintenance and warranty guide.
Fabric roof
To avoid damaging the roof.
-  n ever   use   a   high   pressure   jet   wash,
-
 
n
ever   wash   your   vehicle   in   an  
a

utomatic   roller-brush   car   wash.Remove
  bird   droppings   or   tree   resins   as  
t

heir   acidity   may   damage   the   roof.Never
  use   chemical   products,  
d

etergents,   stain   removers,   solvents,  
a

lcohol,   petrol, ...   to   clean   the   roof.
We   recommend   that   you   clean   the  
a

ero-acoustic   defector   with care
 
using  
a

  soft   brush.
Before
  washing   the   fabric   roof,   first  
r

emove   as   much   dirt   as   possible   from  
t

he   sur face   using   a   soft   brush   or   a  
v

acuum   cleaner.
To waterproof the roof, use only special
waterproofing   products   for   fabric   roofs.
To
  remove   marks,   sponge   them  
(but   never   rub   them)   using   soapy   water,  
t

hen   immediately   rinse   with   clean   water.
Allow   the   vehicle   to   dry   in   a   shaded  
a

rea   and   avoid   direct   exposure   to  
t

he sun. For
  the   regular   maintenance   of   the  
f

abric   roof   and   to   conserve   its   original  
a

ppearance,   we   recommend   an  
e

cological   "Fly   remover   -   Fabric   roof  
c

leaner"   from   the   "TECHNATURE"

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  
v

ents,   the   air   passages   and   the   air   outlets   to   the   footwells.
Ensure
  that   the   passenger   compartment   filter,   located   behind   the   glove   box   in   the   heater  
u

nit,   is   in   good   condition.   Have   the   filter   elements   replaced   regularly.   If   you   drive   in   dusty  
c

onditions,   change   them   twice   as   often.
Operate
  the   air   conditioning   system   for   5   to   10   minutes,   once   or   twice   a   month,   to   keep   it   in  
p

er fect   working   order.
In
  order   to   ensure   that   your   air   conditioning   system   continues   to   operate   correctly,   you   are  
a

dvised   to   have   it   checked   regularly.
If
  the   system   does   not   produce   cold   air,   do   not   use   it   and   contact   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w
orkshop.
The
  air   conditioning   system   does   not   contain   chlorine   and   does   not   present   any   danger   to  
t

he   ozone   layer.
The
  condensation   created   by   the   air   conditioning   results   in   a   flow   of   water   under   the   vehicle  
w

hen   stationary   which   is   per fectly   normal.

  not   park   or   run   the   engine   when  
s

tationary   in   areas   where   inflammable  
s

ubstances   and   materials   (dry   grass,  
d

ead   leaves...)   might   come   into  
c

ontact with   the   hot   exhaust   system   -  
R

isk   of   fire!
Never
  leave   a   vehicle   unsupervised  
w

ith   the   engine   running.   If   you   have  
t

o   leave   your   vehicle   with   the   engine
