Access
Lost keys, remote control, electronic key
Visit a PEUGEOT dealer with the vehicle's V5 registration document and your personal identification documents. The PEUGEOT dealer will be able to retrieve the key code and the transponder code required to order a replacement.
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. The remote control does not operate when the key is in the ignition, even when the ignition is switched off.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment by the emergency services more difficult in an emergency. As a safety precaution (with children on board), remove the key from the ignition or take the electronic key when you leave the vehicle, even for a short time.
Electrical interference
The Keyless Entry and Starting electronic key may not operate if close to certain electronic devices: telephone, laptop computer, strong magnetic fields, ...
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system; this could cause malfunctions. Don't forget to turn the steering to engage the steering lock.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle
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.

The system checks for opening of the vehicle. The alarm is triggered if anyone tries to open a door, the boot or the bonnet...
- Interior volumetric
The system checks for any variation in the volume in the passenger compartment. The alarm is triggered if anyone breaks a window, enters the passenger compartment or
moves inside the vehicle.
- Tilt
The system checks for any change in the attitude of the vehicle. The alarm is triggered if the vehicle is lifted, moved or knocked.
Self-protection function

Driving
Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main service brake, a continuous pull on the control lever Awill stop the vehicle. The dynamic stability control provides stability during emergency braking. If the emergency braking malfunctions, the message "Parking brake control faulty" will be displayed.
If a failure of the DSC system is signalled by the lighting of this warning lamp, then braking stability is not guaranteed. In this event, stability must be assured by the
driver by repeating alternate "pull-release" actions on the control lever A .
Emergency parking brake release
 If your vehicle has one, take out the vehicle chock B , located under the boot floor.  On a slope, immobilise the vehicle by placing a chock in front or behind one of the front wheels, opposing the slope. On level ground, immobilise the vehicle by placing a chock in front or behind one of the front wheels.
In the event of fault with the electric parking brake or a battery failure, an emergency mechanical control can be used to manually release the parking brake.
 Immobilise the vehicle (or chock it if the brake pedal has not been released), with the engine running, by engaging first gear (manual gearbox, position P (automatic gearbox) or M or R (electronic gear control gearbox).  Switch of the engine, but leave the ignition on. If you are unable to immobilise the vehicle, do not operate this control and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
The emergency braking must only be used in exceptional circumstances.

Safety

Horn
 Press the central part of the multifunction steering wheel.
Audible warning system to alert other road users to an imminent danger.
Use the horn moderately and only in the following circumstances: - immediate danger, - overtaking a cyclist or pedestrian, - approaching a location lacking visibility.
Emergency or
assistance call
This system allows you to make an emergency or assistance call to the emergency services or to the dedicated PEUGEOT service.
For more information on the use of this function, refer to the "Audio and telematics" section.

168
Safety
The loss of pressure detected does not always lead to visible deformation of the tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.
The alert is maintained until the tyre or tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired or replaced. The spare wheel (space-saver type or a steel rim) does not have a sensor.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the under-inflation warning lamp accompanied by the illumination of the "service" warning lamp indicates a fault with the system. In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is not assured.
This alert is also displayed when one or more wheels is not fitted with a sensor (for example, a space-saver or steel spare wheel).
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked or, following the repair of a puncture, to have the original wheel, equipped with a sensor, refitted.
