preventing you from pressing beyond the tight spot. It will then be impossible to exit the speed

limitation, except by actioning the control under the steering wheel.

The driver must remain attentive and keep complete control of the vehicle.

Interior rear view mirror
The lever on the lower edge ena-

bles you to place the rear view mir-

ror in either of two positions:
1 - Day position: the lever is not

visible.

Folding back the door mirrors
To fold them, place the control on position 3.
To return them, move the control to one of the other positions.

The glass in the rear view mirrors is

aspherical to enlarge the lateral

field of vision.
Objects viewed are thus in reality

closer than they may appear to be.
This should be taken into account

when assessing distance.

vehicle and penetrates any load

on board.

- has a range of several metres.

Note: The simultaneous use of oth-

er high frequency equipment (mo-

bile

the operation of the remote control

In the event of a permanent fault,

the remote control should be reini-

tialised.

CODE card
A confidential card is given to the

new owner when he takes delivery

of his new vehicle.
This card bears a hidden access

code for the use of the CITROËN

dealer when maintaining the elec-

tronic immobiliser device.

Do not scratch the protective

strip, the security of the immobilis-

er system depends on the informa-

tion below remaining covered.
Should the card be lost, the immo-

biliser device can no longer be con-

sidered secure.

In the event of a change of vehicle ownership, it is essential for the new owner

to possess the CODE card.
Never leave it in the vehicle.

Advice

Keep the coded card bearing your personal electronic immobiliser number in

a safe place (never in the vehicle).
Should you lose your key or remote control, the CITROËN dealer net-

work can supply replacements using these numbers.
If any key modifications become necessary (addition, cancellation or re-

placement of the key), you must take the confidential card together with all

the keys to a CITROËN dealer.

Never attempt to modify the electronic immobiliser's electrical

circuit, as that could render your vehicle undriveable.Should the

confidential card become lost, a Citroën dealer would have to

undertake a major repair.
