Lost keys, remote control
Go to a CITROËN dealer, taking with you 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. Electrical interference
The
K eyless Entry and Starting remote control
may not operate if close to certain electronic
devices: telephone, laptop computer, strong
magnetic fields, etc.
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 press the buttons of your remote control
out of range and out of sight of your vehicle. You
may stop it from working and the remote control
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.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make access
to the passenger compartment by the emergency
services more difficult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on board),
remove the key from the ignition or take the
remote control with you when leaving the vehicle,
even for a short time. Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the electronic
engine immobiliser system; this could cause
malfunctions.
Do not forget to turn the steering 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.

conditions, it is advised to follow the
recommendations below:
-
I
n temperate conditions, do not leave
the engine at idle to warm up but move
off straight away and drive at moderate
speed.

the idle engine speed can accelerate
to reach 1,300
rpm according to the air
conditioning requirements.

n wintry conditions, the pre-heater
warning lamp will stay on for a longer
period after switching on the ignition;
wait until it goes off before starting.
-
In ver y severe wintr y
conditions
(temperature below
-23°C), to ensure the correct operation
and durability of the mechanical
components of your vehicle (engine
and gearbox), leave the engine
running for 4
minutes before moving
of f.
Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion engines
emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon
monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death!
With a manual gearbox, the steering column
unlocks and the engine starts more or less
instantly.
With the EAT8 automatic gearbox, the engine
starts more or less instantly. With Petrol engines
, after a cold start,
preheating the catalytic converter can
cause clearly-felt engine vibrations when
stationary, with the engine running, for
anything up to 2 minutes (accelerated idle
speed).
For Diesel vehicles , in sub-zero
temperatures the engine will not
start until the pre-heater warning
lamp has gone off.
If this warning lamp comes on
after pressing the "START/STOP"
button, press down on the brake
