Operating problem

Following disconnection of the vehicle battery,
replacement of the remote control battery or in
the event of a remote control fault, you can no
longer unlock, lock or locate your vehicle.
F

First of all, use the key in the lock to unlock

or lock your vehicle.

Then, reinitialise the remote control.

If the problem persists, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as
possible.

Reinitialisation

Switch off the ignition.

Turn the key to position 2 (Igntion on).

(For more information on Starting-
switching off the engine, refer to the
corresponding section).

Press the closed padlock immediately for a

few seconds, until the operation requested

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

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 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.
