Lost electronic key
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's registration certificate, your personal identification documents and if possible the key code label.
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.
Do
 not  repeatedly  press  the  buttons  of  your  electronic  key  out  of  range  and  out  of  sight  of  your  vehicle.  You  run  the  risk  of  stopping  it  from Â
w
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.
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.

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines belo w:

Â
T
o  obtain  an  even  air  distribution,  take  care  not  to  obstruct  the  exterior  air  intake  grilles Â
l
ocated  at  the  base  of  the  windscreen,  the  nozzles,  the  vents  and  the  air  outlets,  as  well Â
a
s  the  air  extractor  located  in  the  boot.
F
Â
D
o  not  cover  the  sunshine  sensor,  located  on  the  dashboard;  this  is  used  for  regulation Â
o
f  the  air  conditioning  system.
F
Â
O
perate  the  air  conditioning  system  for  at  least  5  to  10  minutes,  once  or  twice  a  month Â

o  keep  it  in  per fect  working  order.
F
Â
E
nsure  that  the  passenger  compartment  filter  is  in  good  condition  and  have  the  filter Â
e
lements  replaced  regularly.
 W
e  recommend  the  use  of  a  combined  passenger  compartment  filter.  Thanks  to  its Â
s
pecial  active  additive,  it  contributes  to  the  purification  of  the  air  breathed  by  the Â
o
ccupants  and  the  cleanliness  of  the  passenger  compartment  (reduction  of  allergic Â
s
ymptoms,  bad  odours  and  greasy  deposits).
F
Â
T
o  ensure  correct  operation  of  the  air  conditioning  system,  you  are  also  advised  to  have Â
i
t  checked  regularly  as  recommended  in  the  maintenance  and  warranty  guide.
F
Â
I
f  the  system  does  not  produce  cold  air,  switch  it  off  and  contact  a  CITROËN  dealer  or  a Â

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine, the  i nterior  t emperature  i s  v ery  h igh,  f irst Â
v
entilate  the  passenger  compartment  for Â
a

Put
 the  air  flow  control  at  a  setting  high Â
e
nough  to  quickly  change  the  air  in  the Â
p
assenger
 c
ompartment.
The
 air  conditioning  system  does  not Â
c
ontain  chlorine  and  does  not  present Â
a
ny  danger  to  the  ozone  layer.
The
 condensation  created  by  the  air Â
c
onditioning  results  in  a  discharge Â
o
f  water  under  the  vehicle  which  is Â
p
er fectly  normal.
