Let's see how to reset the remote control on the Citroen Xsara Picasso. The issue is that the remote has stopped working, so it neither opens nor closes the doors after changing the battery.

Insert the key into the ignition to turn on the ignition. Press any button on the remote (for example, the lock button).

Hold the lock button for about 10 seconds, then remove the key and take it out of the ignition. At this point, the remote should be functioning correctly again.

Test its functionality from outside the vehicle.
