Make a careful note of the number of each key. This 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 sensitive system.
Do not operate it while it is in your pocket as there is a possibility that it may unlock your vehicle.The remote control cannot operate while the key is in the ignition, even if the ignition is off, except for reprogramming.
However, do not operate the deadlocking system if there is someone inside the vehicle.As a safety measure (when there are children on board), remove the key from the ignition when you leave the vehicle, even for a short time.
Avoid operating the remote control buttons out of range of your vehicle; you run the risk of stopping it from working. It would then be necessary to reprogramme it. When buying a second-hand vehicle:
- check that you have been given the confidential card;
- have the keys memorised by a PEUGEOT dealer to be sure that the keys in your possession are the only ones which can start the vehicle.
Do not make any modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system.
