Lost keys, remote control, electronic key
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's
registration certificate, your personal
identification documents and if possible, the
label bearing the key code.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to retrieve
the key code and the transponder code
required to order a new key.Do not throw away the remote control
batteries, they contain metals which are
harmful to the environment.
Take them to an approved collection
point.
Back-up procedures
Complete unlocking/locking
of the vehicle with the key
These procedures should be used in the
following cases:
-
r

emote control battery flat,
-

r

-

v
ehicle in an area subject to strong
electromagnetic interference.
In the first case, you can also replace the
remote control battery.
Refer to the corresponding section.
In the second case, you can also reinitialise the
remote control.
Refer to the corresponding section.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make
access to the passenger compartment by
the emergency ser vices more difficult in an
emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition or
take the electronic key when you leave the
vehicle, even for a short time. Remote control
The high frequency remote control is a
sensitive system; do not operate it while it is
in your pocket as there is a possibility that
it may unlock the vehicle, without you being
aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your
remote control out of range and out of sight
of your vehicle. The remote control may stop
working and would have to be reinitialised.
The remote control does not operate when
the key is in the ignition, even when the
ignition is switched off.
Electrical interference
The

K

eyless Entry and Starting electronic
key may not operate if close to certain
electronic devices: telephone, laptop
computer, strong magnetic fields, etc.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic engine immobiliser system; this
could cause malfunctions.
For vehicles with an ignition switch, do
not forget to remove the key and turn the
steering wheel to engage the steering lock.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the key codes memorised by a
CITROËN dealer, to ensure that the keys in
your possession are the only ones which can
start the vehicle.

This setting is associated with AUTO mode
only. However, on deactivation of AUTO mode,
the last selected setting remains.
Changing the setting does not reactivate AUTO
mode if deactivated.In cold weather with the engine cold, the
air flow is increased gradually until the
comfort setting has been reached, in order
to limit the delivery of cold air into the
passenger compartment.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer
than the comfort value setting, there
is no need to alter the value displayed
in order to reach more quickly the
required level of comfort. The system
compensates automatically and corrects
the temperature difference as quickly as

the right to carry out updates to the
vehicle's on-board telematic system.

(ESC)
Electronic stability control (ESC) comprising
the following systems:
-
a
nti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-

e
mergency braking assistance (EBA),
-

w
heel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction
control,
-

d
ynamic stability control (DSC).
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking and
contributes towards improved control on corners,
in particular on poor or slippery road sur faces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The EBFD manages the braking pressure wheel
by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Traction
Control) optimises traction in order to limit
wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required by
the driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics. It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
