Lost keys

Locking the vehicle

Visit a CITROËN dealer with the ve-

hicle's registration document, your

personal identiﬁcation documents

and if possible the key code label.

Driving with the doors locked may

make access to the passenger com-

partment by the emergency services

more difﬁcult in an emergency.

Take them to an approved collection

point.

The CITROËN dealer will be able to

ﬁnd the key code and the transpon-

der code required to order a new

key.

As a safety precaution (with children

on board), remove the key from the

ignition switch when you leave the

vehicle, even for a short time.

Remote control

Anti-theft protection

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 ve-

hicle, without you being aware of it.

the electronic engine immobiliser

system; this could cause malfunc-

tions.

Do not repeatedly press the buttons

of your remote control out of range

and out of sight of your vehicle. You

run the risk of stopping it from work-

ing and the remote control would

have to be reinitialised.

When purchasing a 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.

The remote control does not operate

when the key is in the ignition switch,

even when the ignition is switched

off, except for reinitialisation.

The petrol or Diesel engine of your ve-

hicle is ﬁtted with a catalytic converter, a

device which helps to reduce the level of

harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.

Quality of the fuel used for

petrol engines

Quality of the fuel used for

Diesel engines

For petrol engines, you must use

unleaded fuel.

The ﬁller neck is narrower, allowing only

unleaded petrol nozzles to be intro-

duced.

The petrol engines are perfectly

compatible with E10 or E24 type pet-

rol biofuels (containing 10 % or 24 %

ethanol), conforming to European

standards EN 228 and EN 15376.

E85 type fuels (containing up to

85 % ethanol) are reserved exclu-

sively for vehicles marketed for the

use of this type of fuel (BioFlex ve-

hicles). The quality of the ethanol

must comply with European stan-

dard EN 15293.

The Diesel engines are perfectly

compatible with biofuels which con-

form to current and future European

standards (Diesel fuel which com-

plies with standard EN 590 mixed

with a biofuel which complies with

standard EN 14214) available at the

pumps (containing up to 7 % Fatty

Acid Methyl Ester).

The B30 biofuel can be used in cer-

tain Diesel engines; however, this

use is subject to strict application

of the special servicing conditions.

Contact a CITROËN dealer or a

qualiﬁed workshop.

IV

If you have put in the wrong fuel

for your vehicle, you must have

the fuel tank drained and ﬁlled

with the correct fuel before start-

ing the engine.

For Brazil only, special vehicles are

marketed to run on fuels containing

up to 100 % ethanol (E100 type).

Fuel cut-off

Your vehicle is equipped with a safe-

ty device which cuts off the fuel sup-

ply in the event of a collision.

The use of any other type of (bio)fuel

(vegetable or animal oils, pure or di-

luted, domestic fuel...) is strictly pro-

hibited (risk of damage to the engine

and fuel system).
