Advice
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 press the buttons of your remote
control out of range of your vehicle.
It might stop working. It will then be
necessary to reinitialise it again.
The remote control does not operate when
the key is in the ignition switch, even when
the ignition is switched off.
Electrical interference
The Keyless Entry and Starting electronic
key may not operate if close to certain
electronic devices: telephone, laptop
computer, strong magnetic fields, etc. Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic engine immobiliser system; this
could cause malfunctions.
For vehicles with an ignition switch, do
not forget to remove the key and turn the
steering wheel to engage the steering
lock.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked could make
it more difficult for the emergency ser vices
to enter the vehicle in an emergency.
As a
safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition or
take the electronic key when leaving the
vehicle, even for a
short time.
Purchasing a


second-hand vehicle
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.
