lamps and flashing of the direction indicators

for a few seconds.

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.

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 run the risk of stopping it from working and the remote control would have

to be reinitialised.

No remote control can operate when the key is in the ignition switch, even when the ignition

is switched off, except for reinitialisation.

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, 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.

Anti-theft protection

Do not make any modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system; this could

cause malfunctions.

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.
