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 passenger compartment 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.
Proximity Keyless Entry
and Start
This is a Keyless Entry and Starting system.
It enables automatic vehicle locking/unlocking
simply by detecting the electronic key. As long as the driver has the electronic key
on their person, the vehicle unlocks as they
approach and locks when they walk away.
If the electronic key is present in an area
between 2 and 7 m from the vehicle for more
than 30 minutes, the system is deactivated to
preserve the battery.
Key recognition zones:


Zone A: automatic locking on moving away from
the vehicle (about 2
metres from the vehicle).
Zone B: automatic unlocking and welcome
lighting on approaching the vehicle (between 1
and 2
metres from the vehicle).
For more information on Welcome lighting,
please refer to the corresponding section.
