Your vehicle has two primary keys and a
secondary key.
Operation of each key
When you must leave the key with a
parking attendant:
• Leave the seconday key, which
cannot open the boot lock.
• Use the boot security system
(page 2-11).
The plate attached to the keys has key
code numbers. If you should lose your
keys, these numbers will enable an
Authorised Xedos Dealer to replace them
more easily. Detach the plate and store it
in a safe place, not in the vehicle. You
should also file a copy of the key code
numbers with your important papers.
