2If the vehicle is unlocked but the doors or 
tailgate are not subsequently opened, the 
vehicle will automatically lock itself again after 
approximately 30
  seconds. If the vehicle is 
fitted with an alarm, it will also be reactivated 
automatically.
Automatic door mirror folding and  unfolding can be deactivated by a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
As a safety measure, never leave the  vehicle, even for a short time, without 
taking the Keyless Entry and Starting 
system’s electronic key with you.
Be aware of the risk of theft of the vehicle if 
the key is present in one of the defined areas 
while the vehicle is unlocked. 
To preserve the battery charge in the  electronic key and the vehicle's battery, 
the "hands-free" functions are set to 
hibernation mode after 21 days without use. 
To restore these functions, press one of the 
remote control buttons or start the engine with 
the electronic key in the reader.
For more information on starting with the 
Keyless Entry and Starting system, refer to 
the corresponding section.
Electrical interference
The electronic key may not operate if 
close to certain electronic devices: telephone 
(switched on or on standby), laptop computer, 
strong magnetic fields, etc.
Locating the vehicle
This function helps you to spot your vehicle from 
a distance, with the vehicle locked:
–
 
The direction indicators flash for approximately 
10 seconds.
–
 
The courtesy lamps come on.
► Press this button.  
Remote lighting
Briefly pressing this button switches on 
the lighting remotely (sidelamps, dipped 
beam headlamps and number plate lamps).
Pressing this button again before the end of the 
timed period cancels remote lighting.
Advice
Remote control
The remote control is a sensitive, high-
frequency device; avoid handling it in your 
pocket, due to the risk of unintentionally 
unlocking the vehicle.
Avoid pressing the remote control buttons 
while out of range of the vehicle, due to 
the risk of rendering the remote control 
inoperative. It would then be necessary to 
reset it.
The remote control does not work
  when the 
key is in the ignition switch, even when the 
ignition is switched off.
Anti-theft protection
Do not modify the electronic vehicle 
immobiliser, as this might result in 
malfunctions.
For vehicles with a key ignition switch, 
remember to remove the key and turn the 
steering wheel to engage the steering lock.
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, remove the key from 
the ignition or 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.

This is signalled by a mechanical noise from 
the locks.
If the boot is open, only the locking of the

mirrors do not fold.
The indicator lamp also goes off when  unlocking one or more accesses.
