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 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.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the electronic
engine immobiliser system; this could cause
malfunctions.
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. You risk making it inoperative. It
will then be necessary to reinitialise it.
No remote control can operate when the key is
in the ignition switch, even when the ignition is
switched off, except for reinitialisation.
Locked vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may render
access by the emergency services to the
interior difficult in an emergency.
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 when leaving the
vehicle. 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.
