USB sockets

USB sockets allow the connection of a portable
device.
The USB socket at the front on the right-hand side also allows a
smartphone to be connected by Android Auto
® or
CarPlay®, enabling certain smartphone
applications to be used on the touch screen.
For best results, use a cable made or approved
by the device manufacturer.
These applications can be managed using the
steering-mounted controls or the audio system
controls.
When the USB socket is used, the
portable device charges automatically.
While charging, a message is displayed if the
power drawn by the portable device exceeds
the current supplied by the vehicle.
For more information about how to use this
equipment, refer to the sections describing
the audio and telematics systems.
12 V accessory socket



► Plug in a 12 V accessory (with a maximum
rated power of 120 W) using a suitable adapter.
Observe the maximum power rating to
avoid damaging the accessory.
The connection of an electrical device not approved by PEUGEOT, such as a
USB charger, may adversely affect the
operation of vehicle electrical systems,
causing faults such as poor radio reception or
interference with displays in the screens.
Wireless smartphone
charger




This system allows wireless charging of a
portable device such as a smartphone, using the
magnetic induction principle, in accordance with
the Qi 1.1 standard.
The portable device to be charged must be
compatible with the Qi standard, either by design
or by using a compatible holder or shell.
A mat can also be used provided that it is
approved by the Manufacturer.
The charging area is identified by the Qi symbol.
The charger works with the engine running and
with the Stop & Start system in STOP mode.
Charging is managed by the smartphone.

Starting / Switching off the
engine with the key
Key ignition switch

It has 3 positions:
1. StopInserting/removing the key, steering column
locked.
2. Ignition on Steering column unlocked, ignition on,
preheating (Diesel), switching the engine on.
3. Starting
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the key or the remote control. This would weigh
down on its shaft in the ignition switch and
could cause a malfunction.
Ignition on position
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric
equipment or the charging of accessories.
Once the state of charge of the battery drops to
the reserve level, the system switches to energy
economy mode. The power supply is cut off
automatically to preserve the remaining battery
charge.
Starting the engine
With the parking brake applied:
► With a manual gearbox, place the gear lever
in neutral then fully depress the clutch pedal.
►

With an
automatic gearbox, place the gear
selector in mode N or P then depress the brake
pedal.
►

Insert the key into the ignition switch; the
system recognises the code.
►


Unlock
the steering column by simultaneously
turning the steering wheel and the key.
In certain cases, you may need to apply
significant force to move the steering
wheel (e.g.
wheels turned to full lock).
►

With a
petrol engine , operate the starter
motor by turning the key to position 3 without
pressing the accelerator pedal, until the engine
starts. Once the engine has started, release the
key and allow it to return to position 2.
Petrol engines
After a cold start, preheating the catalytic
converter can cause noticeable engine
vibrations, for anything up to 2 minutes
(accelerated idle speed).
►

With a
Diesel engine, turn the key to position
2, to

activate the engine preheating system.
Wait until this warning lamp goes off on
the instrument panel, then turn the key to
position 3 without pressing the accelerator pedal,
to operate the starter motor. Once the engine
has started, release the key and allow it to return
to position 2.
In wintry conditions, the warning lamp
may stay on for a longer period. When
the engine is hot, the warning lamp does not
come on.
In mild conditions, do not leave the engine
to warm up while stationary, but move off
straight away and drive at moderate speed.
If the engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition. Wait a few
seconds before operating the starter motor
again. If the engine does not start after a few
attempts, do not keep trying - risk of
damaging the starter motor and the engine!
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Switching off the engine

wheels be returned to the straight ahead
position before switching off the engine.
Never switch off the ignition before the
complete immobilisation of the vehicle.
With the engine off, the braking and steering
assistance systems are also cut off - risk of
loss of control of the vehicle!
Check that the parking brake is correctly
applied, particularly on sloping ground.
When leaving the vehicle, keep the key in
your possession and lock the vehicle.
