the correct operation and durability of
the mechanical components of your
vehicle (engine and gearbox), leave
the engine running for 4
minutes
before moving off.
Never leave the engine running in

Anti-theft protection
Electronic engine
immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic chip which has
a secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a few minutes
after the ignition is switched off, and prevents
starting of the engine by anyone who does not
have the key.
In the event of a malfunction, you are informed
by a message in the instrument panel screen.
If this happens, your vehicle will not start;
contact a PEUGEOT dealer if required.For reasons of safety and theft protection,
do not leave your electronic key in the
vehicle, even when you are close to it.
It is recommended that you keep it on your
person.
Parking brake
Application
F With your foot on the brake pedal, pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise your
vehicle.
Release on level ground
When the vehicle is being driven, this
warning lamp coming on, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message,
indicates that the parking brake is still
applied or has not been fully released.
When parking on a slope, or on a steep
slope with a laden vehicle, turn the wheels
against the kerb then apply the parking
brake.
Pressing the brake pedal facilitates the
application and release of the manual
parking brake.
With a manual gearbox, engage a gear
then switch off the ignition.
With an automatic gearbox, put the gear
selector into P then switch off the ignition.
With an electronic gearbox, put the gear

Stopping the vehicle
A stiff point may be noticed when moving
to position P.
If the selector is not in position P , when the
driver's door is opened or approximately
45
seconds after the ignition is switched
off, an audible signal sounds and a
message appears.
F
R
eturn the selector to position P ; the
audible signal stops and the message
disappears.
Before switching off the engine, select
position P then apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle.
To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffic jam, etc.),
position the selector to N and apply the
parking brake.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,
never try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.
On a steep slope with a loaded vehicle,
depress the brake pedal, select position
P
, apply the parking brake then release
the brake pedal.
In all circumstances, ensure that the
selector is in position P before leaving
your vehicle.
Malfunction
When the ignition is on, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen to indicate a
gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel a
substantial jolt when changing from P to R and
from N to R . This will not cause any damage to
the gearbox.
Do not exceed around 60
mph (100 km/h), local
speed restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop. There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
-
i
f you depress the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time (braking
or acceleration must be done only with
the right foot),
-
i
f you force the selector from position P
to another position when the battery is
