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 work-
ing and the remote control would
have to be reprogrammed.
The remote control does not operate

when the ignition is switched off,
except for reprogramming.

make access to the passenger com-
partment by the emergency services

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 collec-
tion point.
