Lost keys
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer, taking with you
the vehicle's registration certificate, your
personal identification documents and if
possible, the label bearing the key code.
The PEUGEOT dealer will be able to look
up the key code and the transponder code
required to order a new key.
Closed vehicle
Driving with the doors locked could make it
difficult for the emergency services to enter
the vehicle in an emergency.
As a safety precaution, never leave children
alone in the vehicle, except for a very short
period.
In all cases, it is essential to remove the key
from the ignition switch when leaving the
vehicle.
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is a
sensitive system; do not operate it while
it is in your pocket as there is a possibility
that it may unlock the vehicle, without you
being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your
remote control out of range and out of sight
of your vehicle. It may become inoperative.
It will then be necessary to reinitialise it
again.
No remote control can operate when the
key is in the ignition switch, even when
the ignition is switched off, except for
reinitialisation.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic engine immobiliser system; this
could cause malfunctions.
Second-hand vehicle
Have the pairing of all of the keys in your
possession checked by a PEUGEOT dealer,
to ensure that only your keys can be used to
open and start the vehicle.
