"OIL--" or the appearance of an alert
message in the instrument panel.

switched on. It informs the driver when the next service is due, in
accordance with the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
The point at which the service is due is calculated from the last indica\

When the ignition is switched on, no service information appears on the \
instrument panel central screen.

the service operations comes on. The instrument panel central screen
indicates the distance remaining before the next service is due.
Example: 1 700 miles remain before the next service is due.
For 7 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the central screen
indicates:

The PEUGEOT dealer will be able to look up the key code and the transponder code re\
quired 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.
As a safety precaution, never leave children alone in the vehicle, excep\
t 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 unlo\
ck
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, ev\
en 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 PEUG\
EOT dealer, to ensure that only your keys can be used to open and
start the vehicle.
