ACCESS














LOST KEYS

Visit a PEUGEOT dealer with the vehicle's registration document, your personal identifi cation documents and if possible the key code label.
The PEUGEOT dealer will be able to look up the key code and the transponder code required to order a new key.


LOCKING THE VEHICLE

Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment by the emergency services more diffi cult in an emergency.
However, the vehicle unlocks automatically in the event of a serious impact causing airbag deployment.
As a safety precaution, never leave children alone in the vehicle, except for a very short period.
In all cases, it is essential to remove the key from the ignition switch when leaving the vehicle.


REMOTE CONTROL

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
the 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 reinitialised.
No remote control can operate when the key is in the ignition switch, even when the ignition is switched off, except for reinitialisation.


ANTI-THEFT PROTECTION

Do not make any modifi cations to the electronic engine immobiliser system; this could cause malfunctions.








Do not throw the remote control batteries away, they contain metals which are harmful to the environment.
Take them to an approved collection point.


WHEN PURCHASING A SECOND-HAND VEHICLE

Have the pairing of all of the keys in your possession checked by a PEUGEOT dealer, to ensure that only your keys can be used to open and
start the vehicle.
