while the key is in the ignition, even if

the ignition is off.

As a safety precaution (with children

on board), remove the key from the

ignition when leaving the vehicle, even

for a short time.

The metal part of the key must be

unfolded correctly for correct dialogue

to take place.

ALARM

If ﬁtted on your vehicle, this provides

two types of protection:

-

exterior protection: it sounds if a

front/rear door or the bonnet is

opened.

the volume inside the passenger

compartment changes (breaking

of a window or a movement inside

the vehicle).

If you lose your keys

When purchasing a second-hand

vehicle:

Visit a CITROËN dealer with the

vehicle’s V5 registration document and

your identiﬁcation document.

to retrieve the key code and

the transponder code so that a

replacement key can be ordered.
