Lost keys
Go to a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's
registration document, your personal
identification documents and if possible the
key code label.
The
CITROËN dealer will be able to look
up the key code and the transponder 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 risk making
it inoperative. It will then be necessary to
reinitialise it again.
No remote control can operate when the
key is in the ignition switch, even when
the ignition is switched off, except for
reinitialisation. Stopped vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may render
access by the emergency services to the
interior difficult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution, never leave children
alone in the vehicle, except for a very short
period.
In all cases, it is essential to remove the key
from the ignition switch when leaving the
vehicle.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic engine immobiliser system; this
could cause malfunctions.
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 control
batteries away, they contain metals
which are harmful to the environment.
Take them to an approved collection
point.

Recommendations for heating, ventilation and air conditioning
In order for these systems to be fully
effective, follow the operation and
maintenance guidelines below:
F
T
o ensure that the air is distributed
evenly, keep the external air intake
grilles at the base of the windscreen, the
nozzles, the vents, the air outlets and
the air extractor located in the back free
from obstructions.
F

O
perate the air conditioning system for
at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a
month to keep it in per fect working order.
F

E
nsure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the
filter elements replaced regularly.
We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its special active additive, it contributes
to the purification of the air breathed by
the occupants and the cleanliness of the
passenger compartment (reduction of
allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy
deposits).
F

T
o ensure the correct operation of the
air conditioning system, you are also
advised to have it checked regularly as
recommended in the maintenance and
warranty guide.
F

I
f the system does not produce cold
air, switch it off and contact a
CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep
gradient in high temperatures, switching off
the air conditioning increases the available
engine power and so improves the towing
ability. If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very
high, first ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of
water under the vehicle which is per fectly
normal.
Stop & Star t
The heating and air conditioning systems
only work when the engine is running.
To maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment, you can
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system.
For more information on Stop & Star t , ,
refer to the corresponding section.
