ACCESS and STARTING -
ELECTRONIC ENGINE
IMMOBILISER
This locks the engine control sys-
tem as soon as the ignition has been
switched off and therefore prevents
starting of the vehicle by anyone who
does not have the key.
The ignition key has an electronic chip
which has a special code. When the
ignition is switched on, the code must
be recognised for the vehicle to start.
If the system does not function
correctly, the central locking button
indicator light, situated in the centre
of the fascia, fl ashes rapidly when the
ignition is switched on (2nd notch),
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the display.
In this case your vehicle will not start.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
Key in ignition
A buzzer sounds on opening the
driver's door, if the key has been left
in the ignition.
Make a careful note of the
number of each key. This
number is coded on the label
attached to the key.
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 vehi-
cle, without you being aware of it.
The remote control does not operate
when the key is in the ignition, even
when the ignition is switched off, ex-
cept for reprogramming.
Do not operate the deadlocking function
if there is anyone inside the vehicle.
Driving with the doors locked may
make access to the passenger com-
partment by the emergency services
more dif fi cult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children
on board), remove the key from the
ignition when you leave the vehicle,
even for a short time.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons
of your remote control out of range of
your vehicle.
You run the risk of stopping it from
working and the remote control would
have to be reprogrammed.
When purchasing a second-hand
vehicle, have the key codes memo-
rised by a PEUGEOT dealer, to en-
sure that the keys in your possession
are the only ones which can start the
vehicle.
Do not make any modi
fi cations to the
electronic engine immobiliser system.
If the keys are lost
Visit a PEUGEOT dealer with the vehi-
cle’s V5 registration certi fi cate and your
personal identi fi cation documents.
The PEUGEOT network will be able
to retrieve the key code and the
transponder code to order a replace-
ment key.
A heavy object (key fob...), attached
to the key and weighing down on
its shaft in the ignition switch, could
cause a malfunction.
