when the key is in the ignition, even
when the ignition is switched off, ex-
cept for reinitialisation.

Locking the vehicle

Driving with the doors locked may
make access to the passenger com-
partment by the emergency services

more difﬁ cult 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 modiﬁ cations to the

electronic engine immobiliser sys-
tem; 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.
