Confidential card The confidential card contains the identification code necessary for anywork carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer on the system. This code ishidden by a film which should be
removed only if necessary. Keep your card in a safe place, never inside the vehicle.
ELECTRONIC ENGINE IMMOBILISER This locks the engine maoagement system as soon as the ignition has
been switched off and therefore pre-vents starting of the vehicle by any-
one 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 is recognised and starting is
possible. If the system does not function correctly , you are warned by an
audible signal and a message on the
multifunction display. In this case, the vehicle will not start.

screen wipers operate continuously.
They switch off when the light becomes bright enough or the wind-
screen wipers are switched off. Note: In foggy weather or in snow
the brightness sensor can detect
sufficient light. As a result, the lights

off and depending on the brightness, the lights remain on for about
45 seconds or until the vehicle islocked.

with the rain sensor, is locatedin the centre of the windscreen,
behind the interior mirror. It isused for automatic switching onof the lights. Operating check Activation Acivation of this function is accom- panied by an audible signal and themessage
"Automatic lighting
active'' on the multifunction display.

displayed:
Display B
Ð the range,
Ð the distance travelled,
Ð the average consumption,
Ð the current consumption,
Ð the average speed. Zero reset Press the stalk for more than two seconds. Display C
Ð the current consumption and the range,
Ð the average consumption, the distance travelled and the
average speed calculated over a period "1",
Ð the average consumption, the distance travelled and the average speed calculated over a period "2".
Periods "1"and "2"are defined by the frequency of the
zero reset. They allow, for instance, daily calculations over period "1"and monthly calculations over period "2".
Zero reset When the required period is displayed, press the stalk for more than two seconds.

Range The display shows the distance that can still be covered with the fuelremaining in the tank. Note: this figure may rise if there is
a change in driving style or road sur- face, causing a significant drop incurrent fuel consumption. If there are less than 3 litres of fuel in the tank, only three segments willbe displayed.
Current fuel consumption This gives the fuel consumption recorded during the last two sec-
onds. This function is only displayedwhen the vehicle is travelling atmore than 12 m.p.h. (20 km/h). Average consumption This is the ratio between the amount of fuel consumed and the distancetravelled since the computer waslast reset to zero.
Average speed This is obtained by dividing the dis- tance travelled by the period of timethe vehicle has been in use (with theignition on), since the computer waslast reset to zero. Distance travelled This shows the distance travelled since the computer was last reset tozero. After the trip computer has been reset to zero, the range databecomes meaningful only after thevehicle has been in use for a certainperiod. If horizontal segments are displayed instead of figures when driving, con-
tact a PEUGEOT dealer.
