batteries away, they contain metals  
which are harmful to the environment.  
Take them to an approved collection  
point.  
Lost keys  
Go to a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's registration document, your personal

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.

ensure that only your keys can be used to open and start the vehicle.
