Lost keys
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's V5 registration document and your personal
identification documents.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to retrieve the key code and the transponder code
required to order a replacement 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.
The remote control does not operate when the key is in the ignition, even when the ignition
is switched off.

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 (with children on board), remove the key from the ignition when you
leave the vehicle, even for a short time.

Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the electronic immobiliser system; this could cause
malfunctions.

When purchasing a second-hand vehicle


Have the key codes memorised by a CITROËN dealer, to ensure that the keys in your
possession are the only ones which can start the vehicle.

Ventilation
System which creates and maintains good

Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger

from the outside via the grille located at the

recirculation mode.

Controls
The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected.
The temperature control enables you to obtain
the level of comfort required by mixing the air of

F To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles
located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well
as the air extractor located in the boot.
F Use in preference the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the air recirculation may
cause misting of the windows and side windows.
F Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep it
in good working order.
F Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly (refer to "Checks").
