T he   CITROËN   dealer   will   be   able   to   retrieve   the   key   code   and   the   transponder   code   required   to   order   a   new   key.
Electronic key
The electronic key 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.

orking   and   the   remote   control   would   have   to   be   reinitialised.
The
  electronic   key   cannot   operate   as   a   remote   control   when   it   is   in   the   reader   or   even   when   the   ignition   is   switched   on.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment by the emergency services more difficult in an emergency.
A s   a   safety   precaution   (with   children   on   board),   take   the   electronic   key   with   you   when   you   leave   the   vehicle,   even   for   a   short   time.
Electrical interference
The electronic key may not operate if close to certain electronic devices: telephone, laptop computer, strong magnetic fields, ...
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system; this could cause malfunctions.
D on't   forget   to   turn   the   wheel   to   lock   the   steering   column.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have all of the keys in your possession paired by a CITROËN dealer, to ensure that only your keys allow your vehicle to be unlocked and started.
