After replacing the battery in a Citroen C3, it is necessary to reprogram the key/remote. This operation is very simple and quick, requiring only four steps that can be done independently.

To program the key/remote for the C3, you need to: - enter the car; - start the engine and rev it to 2,000/3,000 RPM; - turn off the vehicle; - lock and unlock the vehicle from the inside once. Once you have completed these steps, you will have reprogrammed your key and can return to normal use of the vehicle.
