 When you enter the vehicle, the
temperature inside the vehicle may
be much colder (or warmer) than a
comfortable temperature. There is
no point in modifying the displayed
temperature to try to attain the de-
sired level of comfort. The system
operates automatically to compen-
sate this temperature discrepancy
as rapidly as possible.

 When starting the engine from
cold, in order to avoid distributing
too much cold air, the blower will
attain its optimum level gradually.

Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehi-
cle's V5 registration document and your
personal identifi cation documents.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to
retrieve the key code and the trans-
ponder code required to order a re-
placement 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 vehi-
cle, 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, even
when the ignition is switched off, ex-
cept for reinitialisation.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may
make access to the passenger com-
partment by the emergency services
more diffi cult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children
on board), remove the key from the
ignition 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 key codes memorised by a
CITROËN dealer, to ensure that the
keys in your possession are the only
ones which can start the vehicle.
Do not throw the remote
control batteries away, they
contain metals which are
harmful to the environment.
Take them to an approved collection
point.
