Do not throw the remote control batteries  away,  they  contain  metals Â
w

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 Â
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 Â
y
our  vehicle.  You  run  the  risk  of  stopping  it  from  working  and  the  remote  control  would  have Â
t
o  be  reinitialised.
No
 remote  control  can  operate  when  the  key  is  in  the  ignition  switch,  even  when  the  ignition Â
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 Â
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.
