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
r
equired 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
y
our vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it from working and the remote control would have
t
o be reinitialised.
No
remote control can operate when the key is in the ignition switch, even when the ignition
i
s 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
p
eriod.
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 m alfunctions.
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.Do
not throw the remote control
b
atteries away, they contain metals
w
hich are harmful to the environment.
Take them to an approved collection

Never drive with the parking brake applied - Risk of overheating and
d
amage to the braking system!
Do
not park or run the engine when
s
tationary in areas where inflammable
s
ubstances and materials (dry grass,
d
ead leaves...) might come into contact
w
ith the hot exhaust system - Risk of
f
ire!
Never
leave a vehicle unsupervised
w
ith the engine running. If you have
t
o leave your vehicle with the engine

Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay
close attention to the traffic and keep your
h
ands on the wheel so that you are ready to
r
eact at any time to any eventuality.
On
a long journey, a break every two hours is
s
trongly
re
commended.
In
difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
t
he need to brake and increase the distance
f
rom other vehicles. If
you are obliged to drive through water:
-
c
heck that the depth of water does not
e
xceed 15 cm, taking account of waves
t
hat might be generated by other users,
-
d
eactivate the Stop & Start system,
-
d
rive as slowly as possible without
s
talling. In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph
(
10 km/h),
-
d
o not stop and do not switch off the
e
ngine.
On
leaving the flooded road, as soon as
c
ircumstances allow, make several light brake
a
pplications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If
in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.Important!
Driving on flooded
roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded r
oads, as this could cause serious damage
t
o the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
e
lectrical systems of your vehicle.

Electronic engine immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip which has a special code. When the ignition is switched
o
n, this code must be recognised in order for
s
tarting to be possible.
This
electronic engine immobiliser locks the
e
ngine management system a few moments
a
fter the ignition is switched off and prevents
s
tarting of the engine by anyone who does not
h
ave the key.In the event of a fault, you are
informed
by illumination of this
w
arning lamp, an audible signal and a message
i
n the screen.
In
this case, your vehicle will not start; contact
a
CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.
Keep
