  Locking is confirmed by fixed lighting of the direction indicators for approximately two seconds.  According to version, the door mirrors fold at the same time.  
  Driving with the doors locked may render access for the emergency services difficult in an emergency.  As a safety measure (children on board), never leave the vehicle without taking your key, even for a short period.  
Normal locking 
  Using the remote control 
   Press the closed padlock to lock the  vehicle  completely.   
  Using  the  key 
   Turn the key towards the rear of the vehicle to lock the vehicle completely.   If your vehicle has an alarm, this will not be activated.  
  Maintaining the locking action (key or remote control) automatically closes the windows.  
  If one of the doors or the boot is still open or if an electronic key has been left inside the vehicle, the central locking does not take place.  When the vehicle is locked, if it is unlocked inadvertently, it will relock automatically after about thirty seconds unless a door is opened. 
 And if your vehicle has an alarm, this will not be reactivated.  The folding and unfolding of the door mirrors by the remote control can be deactivated by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.   
  When a door or the boot is not fully closed, engine running or vehicle moving (speed above 6 mph (10 km/h)), a message appears for a few  seconds.

   Press the closed padlock again within five seconds to deadlock the vehicle.

  A short press this button switches on the lighting remotely (sidelamps, dipped beam headlamps and number plate  lamps).  
  A second press before the end of the timed period cancels the remote lighting.   
Anti-theft protection 
  In the event of a fault, you are informed by illumination of this warning lamp, an audible signal and a message in the screen. 
  Keep safely, away from your vehicle, the label attached to the keys given to you on acquisition of the vehicle.   
 In this case, your vehicle will not start; contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.  
 This function allows you to identify your vehicle from a distance, particularly in poor light. Your vehicle must be locked.
