ELECTRONIC ENGINE
IMMOBILISER
This locks the engine control system as
soon as the ignition has been switched
off and therefore prevents 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 must be
recognised for starting to be possible.
If the system does not function
correctly, the central locking button
indicator light, situated on the courtesy
light console, lashes rapidly when the
ignition is switched on (2nd notch).
In this case your vehicle will not start.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.Good practice
In the event of loss
A PEUGEOT dealer will carry out his
work more eficiently and quickly if,
depending on the circumstances:
- you give him your conidential card,
- you have made a note of the
number coded on the label when
given the keys,
- you have made a note of the code etched on the head of the alloy
wheels anti-theft socket.
Key, remote control
Take care not to allow the key to come
into contact with grease, dust, rain or a
damp environment.
A heavy object attached to the key (key
ring, ...) weighing on the shaft of the key
in the switch may cause a malfunction.
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, without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of
your remote control out of range and
out of sight of your vehicle. You run
the risk of stopping it from working and
the remote control would have to be
reprogrammed.
The remote control does not operate
when the key is in the ignition, even
when the ignition is switched off,
except for reprogramming.
Do not make any modiications to the
electronic engine immobiliser system. Safety
Driving with the doors locked may
make access to the passenger
compartment by the emergency
services more dificult in an
emergency.
Remove the ignition key when you
leave the vehicle, even for a short time,
if there are children on board.
Purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Ensure that you are given the
conidential card and the anti-theft
socket for alloy wheels.
Have the key codes memorised by a
PEUGEOT dealer, to ensure that the
keys in your possession are the only
ones which can start the vehicle.

Good practice
Never select position N when the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless
the vehicle is stationary.
Never change between positions to
optimise braking on a slippery surface.
When the engine is at idle, brakes
not applied, if position R, D or M is
selected the vehicle moves even
without the accelerator being pressed.
For this reason, do not leave children
unsupervised inside the vehicle,
with the engine running .
Operating abnormality
Any operating abnormality is indicated
by an audible signal, accompanied by
the message
"Automatic gear fault"
on the display and lashing of the Snow
snowlake on the instrument panel.
In this situation the gearbox operates
in downgrade mode (locked in 3rd
gear). You may feel a substantial knock
when changing from P to R and from N
to R (this will not cause any damage to
the gearbox).
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h),
keeping within the limit of local speed
restrictions.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
You can return to the automatic
programme at any time.
- Press button
 again to switch off
the programme you are in.
Snow programme
In addition to the automatic
programme, there is a special
Snow programme.
This improves starting
and drive when traction is
poor. The snowlake appears on the
instrument panel display.
- Press button
 once the
vehicle has been started
and position D selected.
The gearbox adapts to driving
on slippery roads.
