Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip which has 
a special code. When the ignition is switched 
on, this code must be recognised to permit 
starting.
This electronic immobiliser locks the control 
system a few moments after the ignition is 
switched off and prevents starting by anyone 
who does not have the key.
In the event of a malfunction and if your vehicle 
does not start, contact a CITROËN dealer as 
soon as possible.

Lost keys
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's V5 registration document and your personal 
identification documents.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to retrieve the key code and the transponder code 
required to order a replacement 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 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 difficult 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 modifications to the electronic 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.
