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.

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.

Stop & Start
Principle
The "ECO" lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the engine goes
into standby.
The system puts the engine temporarily into
standby - STOP mode - during stops in the
traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The
engine restarts automatically - START mode -
as soon as you want to move off. The restart
takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.

functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering...

mode during a journey. It rests
itself to zero every time the
ignition is switched on with the
key.
