Driving
Brakes
Braking distances are increased when towing a
trailer. To avoid overheating of the brakes, the
use of engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind the increased susceptibility to the
wind that the vehicle will have.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic immobiliser
device.
This device locks the engine supply system. It
activates automatically when the key is removed
from the ignition.
When the ignition switch is turned on, a dialogue
is set up between the key and the electronic
immobiliser.
This warning lamp goes off after the key has been recognised, the ignition is
switched on and the engine can be started.
If the key is not recognised, the engine
cannot be started. Use another key and
have the faulty key checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Carefully note the key number. In case of
loss, the intervention of a PEUGEOT
dealer will be faster and more efficient if you
provide this number and the confidential card.
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even in your
pocket, may cause the doors to be unlocked
accidentally.
The simultaneous use of other high-frequency
devices (mobile phones, home alarms, etc.),
may temporarily disturb the operation of the
remote control.
Except for reinitialisation, the remote control
cannot operate while the key is in the ignition
switch, even when the ignition is off.
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 (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition when
leaving the vehicle, even for a short time.
When purchasing a second-hand
vehicle:
– check that you are in possession of the confidential card,– have the keys memorised by a PEUGEOT dealer, to be sure that the keys in your
possession are the only ones that allow the
vehicle to be started.
Confidential card

It is given to you upon delivery of your vehicle
with the duplicate key.
It contains the identification code required for
any intervention by a PEUGEOT dealer on the
electronic engine immobiliser system. This code
is hidden by a film, which is to be removed only
when necessary.
Keep your card in a safe place, never inside the
vehicle.
When undertaking a long trip or journey
however, it is advisable to take this card with you
along with your personal papers.

Procedure for starting the engine using another
battery or charging a discharged battery.
Lead-acid starter batteries
Batteries contain harmful substances
such as sulphuric acid and lead.
They must be disposed of in accordance
with regulations and must not, in any
circumstances, be discarded with household
waste.
Take used remote control batteries and
vehicle batteries to a special collection point.
Protect your eyes and face before
handling the battery.
All operations on the battery must be carried
out in a well ventilated area and away from
naked flames and sources of sparks, so as to
avoid the risk of explosion or fire.
Wash your hands afterwards.
Accessing the battery
The battery is located under the left-hand front
floor.


► Unscrew the 6 access flap retaining screws.
► Lift or completely remove the access flap.

122
In the event of a breakdown
► Connect the red cable to metallic terminal A,
then to the (+) terminal of backup battery B.
► Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative (-) terminal of backup battery B.► Connect the other end of the green or black cable to earth point C of your vehicle.► Operate the starter , let the engine run.► Wait for the engine to return to idle and disconnect the cables.
Charging the battery using a
battery charger
► Access the battery, located in the left-hand front floor.► Disconnect the battery .► Follow the instructions for use provided by the manufacturer of the charger.► Reconnect starting with the (-) terminal.► Check the cleanliness of the terminals. If they are covered with sulphate (whitish or greenish
deposit), remove and clean them.
The charging operation must be carried
out in a well-ventilated area and away
from naked flames and any sources of sparks
so as to avoid the risk of explosion or fire.
Do not try to recharge a frozen battery: it
must first be thawed to avoid the risk of
explosion. If it has frozen, before charging it,
have the battery checked by a specialist who
will check that the interior components have
not been damaged and that the container is
not cracked, which would involve a risk of
leakage of toxic and corrosive acid.
Perform a slow charge at low amperage for
about 24 hours maximum to avoid damaging
the battery.
The presence of this label, in particular with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specification; the
involvement of a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop is essential when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.
After refitting the battery at a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop, the Stop
& Start system will only be active after a
continuous period of immobilisation of the
vehicle, a period which depends on the
climatic conditions and the state of charge of
the battery (up to about 8 hours).
