Remote control

When purchasing a second-

hand vehicle

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 vehi-

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.

Do not repeatedly press the buttons

of your remote control out of range

and out of sight of your vehicle. You

have to be reinitialised.

The remote control does not operate

when the key is in the ignition, even

when the ignition is switched off, ex-

cept for reinitialisation.

Locking the vehicle

Driving with the doors locked may

make access to the passenger com-

partment by the emergency services

more difﬁcult in an emergency.

As a safety precaution (with children

on board), remove the key from the

ignition when you leave the vehicle,

even for a short time.
