which has a special code. When the
ignition is switched on, this code
must be recognised in order for

tem a few minutes after the ignition
is switched off and prevents starting
of the engine by anyone who does
not have the key.

you are informed by il-
lumination of this warn-ing lamp, an audible
signal and a message in the screen.

Lost keys
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the ve-
hicle's registration document, your
personal identifi cation documents
and if possible the key code label.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to
look up the key code and the tran-
sponder code required 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 your vehicle. You
run the risk of stopping it from work-
ing 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 com-
partment by the emergency services
more diffi cult in an emergency.
However, the vehicle unlocks auto-
matically in the event of a serious
impact causing airbag deployment.
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 malfunc-
tions.
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 con-
trol batteries away, they contain
metals which are harmful to the
environment.
Take them to an approved collection
point.
