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 electronic immobiliser device.

Do not scratch the protective strip, the security of the immobiliser system depends on the information below remaining covered.

Should the card be lost, the immobiliser device can no longer be considered 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 network can supply replacements using these numbers.

If any key modifications become necessary (addition, cancellation or replacement 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.
