Access
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked could make
it more difficult for the emergency services to
enter the vehicle in an emergency.
As a safety precaution, take the electronic key
with you when leaving the vehicle, even for a
short time.
Purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the key codes memorised by a
PEUGEOT dealer, to ensure that the keys
in your possession are the only ones able to
start the vehicle.
Keyless Entry and

An access (door or boot) that is not properly closed prevents locking of the
vehicle. However, if the vehicle is fitted with
an alarm, it will be activated after 45
seconds.
If the vehicle is unlocked but the doors or boot
are not subsequently opened,
the vehicle
will automatically lock itself again after about
30

seconds. If the vehicle is fitted with an
alarm, it will also be reactivated automatically.
Deadlocking
► Press the locking button again within
5 seconds to deadlock the vehicle (confirmed by
the temporary lighting of the direction indicators).
Deadlocking renders the interior door
controls inoperative. It also deactivates
the central locking button.
The horn remains operational.

when it is deadlocked.
Closing the windows
Holding the locking button pressed for
more than 3 seconds closes the windows.
When closing the windows, ensure that
no person or object could prevent their
correct closure.
To leave the windows partly open on versions
with alarm, you must first deactivate the
interior volumetric alarm protection.
For more information on the Alarm, refer to
the corresponding section.
"Peugeot Adaptive LED technology"

Practical information
Original tyre size Maximum link size235/40 R19 Not suitable for
chains
(with standard chains)
For more information on snow chains, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Installation tips
► To fit the chains during a journey, stop the
vehicle on a flat surface on the side of the road.
►

Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of the vehicle.
►


Fit the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer

.
►

Move off gently and drive for a few moments,
without exceeding 31

mph (50 km/h).
►

Stop the vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry surface.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Hybrid vehicles
The use of snow chains is only
authorised on the front wheels.
Energy economy mode
This system manages the duration of use of
certain functions, in order to conserve a sufficient
level of charge in the battery with the ignition off.
After switching off the engine, you can still
use functions such as the audio and telematic
system, the wipers and the dipped beam
headlamps or courtesy lamps, for a combined
duration of approximately 40 minutes.
Selecting the mode
A confirmation message is displayed when
energy economy mode is entered, and the active
functions are placed on standby.
If a telephone call is in progress at the
time, it will be maintained for around 10
minutes via the audio system’s hands-free
system.
Exiting the mode
These functions are automatically reactivated the
next time the vehicle is used.
To restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
–

For less than 10 minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately 5 minutes.
– For more than 10 minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately 30 minutes.
Let the engine run for the specified duration to
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
T
o recharge the battery, avoid repeatedly or
continuously restarting the engine.
A flat battery prevents the engine from starting.
For more information on the 12
V battery,
refer to the corresponding section.
Load reduction mode
This system manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates certain
functions, such as the air conditioning and the
heated rear screen.
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
Bonnet
For more information about the Active bonnet,
refer to the corresponding section.
Stop & Start
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
you must switch off the ignition to avoid any
risk of injury resulting from an automatic
change to START mode.

Before any work is carried out under the
bonnet, it is essential to switch off the ignition
and check that the READY indicator lamp is
off in the instrument panel - risk of serious
injury!
The location of the interior bonnet release lever prevents the bonnet being
opened when the left-hand front door is
closed.
