tion of this warning lamp,
an audible signal and a message in the
screen.
In this case, your vehicle will not start;
contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as
possible.
Keep safely the label attached to the
keys given to you on acquisition of the
vehicle.

lock to locate your locked
vehicle in a car park.
This is indicated by lighting of the cour-
tesy lamps and fl ashing of the direction

ACCESS
Lost keys
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's registration document, your per-
sonal identifi cation documents and if possible the key code label.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to fi nd the key code and the transponder
code required to order a new key.







Do not throw the remote con-
trol batteries away, they contain
metals which are harmful to the
environment.
Take them to an approved col-
lection point.
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 ve-
hicle, 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 compart-
ment by the emergency services more diffi cult 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 modifi cations 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.

The presence of this label, in
particular with the Stop & Start
system, indicates the use of a
12 V lead-acid battery with spe-
cial technology and specifi cation;
the involvement of a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop is
essential when replacing or dis-
connecting the battery.
Failure to observe this recom-
mendation may cause premature
wear of the battery.

After refi tting the battery by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop, the Stop & Start sys-
tem will only be active after a
continuous period of immobilisa-
tion of the vehicle, a period which
depends on the climatic condi-
tions and the state of charge of
the battery (up to about 8 hours).

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
LOAD REDUCTION MODE
System which manages the use of cer-
tain functions according to the level of
charge remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain functions, such as the air condi-
tioning, the heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivat-
ed automatically as soon as conditions
permit.

Charging the battery using a battery charger


Do not disconnect the battery to
charge it.


)
Follow the instructions for use pro-
vided by the manufacturer of the
charger. Batteries contain harmful sub-
stances such as sulphuric acid and
lead. They must be disposed of in

must not, in any circumstances, be
discarded with household waste.
Take used remote control bat-
teries and vehicle batteries to a
special collection point.
