Do not throw the remote control batteries   away,   they   contain   metals  
w
hich   are   harmful   to   the   environment.
Take
  them   to   an   approved   collection  
po
int.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  
r
equired   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  
y
our   vehicle.   You   run   the   risk   of   stopping   it   from   working   and   the   remote   control   would   have  
t
o   be   reinitialised.
No
  remote   control   can   operate   when   the   key   is   in   the   ignition   switch,   even   when   the   ignition  
i
s   switched   off,   except   for   reinitialisation.
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,   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  
t
he vehicle.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system; this could c ause m alfunctions.
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.

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine, the   interior   temperature   is   very  
h
igh,   first   ventilate   the   passenger  
c
ompartment   for   a   few   moments.
Put
  the   air   flow   control   at   a   setting   high  
e
nough   to   quickly   change   the   air   in   the

 ompartment.
The
  air   conditioning   system   does   not  
c
