How to Program the Key Fob Duplicate for the Citroen C3

Model: Citroen C3 FC, FN - Years 2002-2009
Part: Key

If you need to duplicate the ignition key with a remote, it is essential to consult a specialised centre that not only has the replacement key and the specific equipment to perform the coding of the metal key blade but is also able to execute the key coding itself, meaning to store the so-called immobiliser code within the electronic circuit: by inserting the key into the ignition switch, an antenna will transmit the key code to the engine management unit, and if recognised, the engine will be allowed to start.

How to Open the Bonnet on the Lancia Y

To open the bonnet on this vehicle, follow these simple instructions: first, open the driver's door and locate the lever positioned just below the dashboard, marked with an image of the vehicle with the bonnet open. Pull this lever towards you until you hear a "click" indicating the bonnet is released. Next, exit the cabin and stand in front of the bonnet to disengage the safety catch and complete the opening. To do this, slightly lift the bonnet, locate the yellow lever underneath, and pull it to the left to fully release and open the bonnet.
