Take them to an approved collection point.
Keys

Make a careful note of the number of each key. This number is coded on the label attached to the key.
If the keys are lost, a CITROËN dealer can supply you with new keys.

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 working.
The remote control does not operate when the key is in the ignition, even when the ignition is switched off.


Locking the vehicle

Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment 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.
