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.

of a message.
In this case, your vehicle will not start; contact
a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.

For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering...
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key.A time counter calculates the
sum of the periods in STOP
mode during a journey. It rests
itself to zero every time the
ignition is switched on with the
key.

engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed for control of a system.
