ing using a coin at the notch.

ELECTRONIC ENGINE IMMOBILISER
This locks the engine control system
a few moments after the ignition has
been switched off and therefore pre-
vents 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 is rec-
ognised and starting is possible.
Do not discard the batteries,
they contain metals which are
harmful to the environment.
Take them to an approved col-
lection point.
If the system does not
f u n c t i o n c o r r e c t l y , the
warning light comes on on
the instrument panel display,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the
multifunction display.
In this case, your vehicle will not start.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
If the remote control does not work af-
ter the battery has been changed, re-
programme the remote control.

- exterior protection: it sounds if
a door, the boot or the bonnet is
opened.
- interior protection: it sounds if
the volume inside the passenger
compartment changes (breaking
of a window or a movement inside
the vehicle). When the alarm is triggered, the siren
sounds and the direction indicator lights
fl a s h f o r a p p r o x i m a t e l y t h i r t y s e c o n d s .

ten times in succession.
