Remote control

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

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 compart-
ment 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.
