How Citroën keys work
The Citroën range mixes several key families. The first-generation C1, built with Toyota, has a fixed-blade remote key similar to the Aygo’s, unrelated to other Citroëns. The C3, C4, C4 Picasso, Berlingo and Jumpy use the in-house flip key with two or three buttons, whose chip is recognised by the body control unit. The Jumper, built on the Fiat Ducato base, has a Fiat-type key. The C5 Aircross and some recent C3 Aircross or C4 Picasso models can have hands-free entry and start, with an emergency blade inside the key. After a battery change, an older Citroën remote may need resynchronising, as described in the owner’s handbook. If the blade is badly worn, it is better to cut the spare from the key code, found through the chassis number (VIN), than to copy a damaged blade.
Signs it is time to act
- Dangling blade: broken flip key hinge
- Remote silent after a battery change
- Buttons worn through to the circuit board
- C1 key locking unreliably from a distance

Your questions
I changed the battery in my Citroën key and the remote stopped working, why?
On several older Citroëns, the remote loses its synchronisation when the battery is removed. A simple procedure in the owner’s handbook usually involves switching the ignition on and then pressing the lock button. If that is not enough, check the battery orientation and the contacts; as a last resort, the remote is reprogrammed via diagnostics.
Is my Citroën Jumper key the same as a Berlingo key?
No. The Jumper shares its base with the Fiat Ducato and uses a Fiat-type key, with a different blade and electronics from the Berlingo or Jumpy. Give the exact model and year, or the chassis number, when you ask for a spare key for a Citroën van.
How much does a spare Citroën key cost?
From €50 for the simplest keys. The price depends on the model, year and key type (blade, remote, hands-free). Send us these details for a free quote.
