It is only at this moment, that it will let you turn on your car. It is thanks to RFID technology (chip in the key) that this unit will work.

First procedure, your key no longer permits your Citroen Ds3 to start, you want to turn off the immobiliser of your Citroen Ds3, but first of all you should try this procedure to start it and take it to a garage verify that you can not perform a less important operation to reestablish the normal start of your vehicle. Actually, with your vehicle you should have a spare key (which you should try and which should start your Citroen Ds3), but if you don’t have it you should at least have the “code card”, it includes the start code. Thanks to this code, you will still be able to start your vehicle by entering it manually. To do this, turn on the ignition, use your centralized button to enter the digits, several quick presses (example: 2 for digit 2) then a stop of one and a half seconds to validate the digit and resume, duplicate the operation until you have entered the entire code.
