point.  
Lost keys  
Visit 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 find 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.  
The remote control does not 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 (with children on board), remove the key from the ignition switch  
when you leave the vehicle, even for a short time.  
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.
