Driving
Key left in the ignition
When opening the driver's door, an alert
message is displayed, accompanied by
an audible signal, to remind you that the key
is still in the ignition switch at position 1
(Stop) .
If the key has been left in the ignition switch
at position 2 (Ignition on) , the ignition will be
switched off automatically after one hour.
To switch the ignition back on, turn the key
to position 1 (Stop) , then back to position 2
(Ignition on) .

► With the remote control in the recognition
zone, press the " START/STOP " button.
With a manual gearbox, the engine switches off
and the steering column locks.
With the EAT8 automatic gearbox, the engine
switches off.
If the vehicle is not immobilised, the
engine will not stop.
Switching on the ignition
with Keyless Entry and
Starting
With the Keyless Entry and Starting
system’s electronic key inside the vehicle,
pressing the " START/STOP " button, with no
action on the pedals , allows the ignition to be
switched on.
► Pressing this button again switches off the
ignition and allows the vehicle to be locked.
Back-up starting with
Keyless Entry and Starting
Should your vehicle not detect the electronic
key in the recognition zone, because the remote
control battery is flat, a back-up reader is
provided to the left behind the steering wheel, to
allow starting.
► Place and hold the remote control against the
reader, then:
► With a manual gearbox, shift the gear lever
into neutral, press the clutch pedal to the floor
and keep the pedal down until the engine runs.
► With an automatic gearbox, place the selector
in position P then depress the brake pedal.
► Then, press the " START/STOP " button.
The engine starts.
Forced switch-off with the
Keyless Entry and Starting
In case of emergency only, the engine can be
switched off without conditions (even when
driving).
► To do this, press the “ START/STOP ” button
and keep it pressed for about 3 seconds.
In this case, the steering column locks as soon
as the vehicle stops.
Remote control not
recognised with Keyless
Entry and Starting
If the remote control is no longer in the
recognition zone, a message appears in the
instrument panel when closing a door or trying to
switch off the engine.
► To confirm switching off the engine, press
and hold the " START/STOP " button for about
3 seconds, then contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

slope with a loaded vehicle, turn the
wheels against the kerb then apply the
