Make a careful note of the number on each key. The key number is coded on the label attached to the key. If the key is lost, your PEUGEOT dealer can rapidly supply you with new keys. The high-frequency remote control is a high-performance system.
Do not operate it while it is in your pocket as there is a possibility that it may unlock your vehicle without your knowledge. The remote control cannot operate if the key is in the ignition, even if the ignition is switched off, except for reprogram- ming. Do not operate the deadlock if there is someone inside the vehicle.As a safety measure (when there are children on board), remove the ignition key when leaving the vehicle, even for a short time. Do not handle the buttons of your remote control when out of range of your vehicle as you run the risk of stopping it from working. It would then be necessary to reprogramme the remote control. When buying a second-hand car: – ensure that you are in possession of the confidential card;
– have the key codes memorised by a PEUGEOT dealer, to ensure that the keys in your possession are the only ones that can start your vehicle.
Do not make any modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system.

the mirror. It is used for automaticswitching on of the lights. Operating check
