Starting
Mode - Gearbox Ignition
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the 
key or the remote control, which would 
weigh down on its blade in the ignition 
switch and could cause a malfunction.
It could adversely affect the deployment 
of the front airbag.
The original key contains a coded electronic chip. 
When the ignition is switched on, starting is only 
possible if the code is detected and recognised.
This protection against theft locks the engine 
management system a few moments after the 
ignition is switched off and prevents starting of 
the engine following a break-in.
Electronic engine immobiliser
Keep away from your vehicle, the 
label attached to the keys given to you 
on acquisition of the vehicle. It will 
help in finding the original code for 
replacement of the key.
In the event of a fault, you are 
informed by illumination of the 
warning lamp, an audible signal and the display 
of a message.
In this case, your vehicle will not start; contact 
a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
