Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's
registration certificate, a personal identification
document and, if possible, the label bearing the
key code.

order a new key.
Complete unlocking/locking of the vehicle with the key
Use this procedure in the following situations:

- Insert the key in the door lock.
- Turn the key towards the front/rear to unlock/
lock the vehicle.

If
the vehicle is fitted with an alarm, it will
not be activated when locking with the
key.
If the alarm is activated, the siren sounds
when the door is opened; switch on the
ignition to stop it.

controls inoperative. It also deactivates
the central locking button.
The horn remains operational.

is deadlocked...

Central locking malfunction.
Battery disconnected or discharged.
In the event of a
malfunction of the
