DS 3: Back-up procedures / Reinitialising the remote control

Following replacement of the battery or in the event of a fault, it may be necessary to reinitialise the remote control.

• Press the handle until the point of resistance to unfold it and access the lock.
• Insert the mechanical key (incorporated into the remote control) into the lock to open the vehicle.
• Place the electronic key against the back-up reader on the steering column and hold it there until the ignition is switched on.
• With a manual gearbox, place the gear lever in neutral then fully depress the clutch pedal.
• With an automatic gearbox or drive selector, while in mode P, depress the brake pedal.
• Switch on the ignition by pressing the "START/ STOP" button.

If the fault persists after reinitialisation, contact a dealer or a qualified workshop without delay.
