Access
remote control buttons or start the engine with
the electronic key in the reader.
For more information on starting with the
Keyless Entry and Start system, refer to the
corresponding section.
Electrical interference
The electronic key may not work if it is
close to an electronic device (e.g. mobile
telephone (switched on or on standby), laptop
computer, strong magnetic fields). If this
occurs, move the electronic key away from
the electronic device.
Accumulations (water, dust, grime, salt, etc.) on the inner surface of the door
handle may affect detection.
If cleaning the inner surface of the door
handle using a cloth does not restore
detection, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
A sudden splash of water (stream of water,
high pressure jet washer, etc.) may be
identified by the system as the desire to open
the vehicle.
If selective unlocking of the tailgate is

the tailgate control allows the windows and,
depending on version, the sunroof to be closed
to the desired position.
This operation also closes the sunroof blind.
Make sure that no item or person could
prevent the correct closing of the
windows and sunroof.
Pay particular attention to children when
operating windows.
The locking, and the activation of the alarm
depending on version, is confirmed by the
temporary lighting of the direction indicators.

Driving
Starting

► With an automatic gearbox, select mode P
or N and press the brake pedal.
►

Press the "
START/STOP" button while
maintaining pressure on the pedal until the
engine starts.
Diesel engines
In negative temperatures and/or when the
engine is cold, starting takes place only after the
preheating warning lamp goes out.
If this warning lamp comes on after
pressing the " START/STOP" button:
►

Keep the pedal fully depressed and do not
press the "

START/STOP" button again until the
engine is running.
In all circumstances, if one of the starting
conditions is not met, a message is displayed.
In some circumstances, a message indicates
that it is necessary to turn the steering wheel
while pressing the " START/STOP" button to
assist unlocking of the steering column.
Petrol engines
With Petrol engines, after a cold start,
pre-heating the catalytic converter can cause
noticeable engine vibrations, for anything up
to 2 minutes (accelerated idle speed).
Starting rechargeable hybrid
vehicles
► Fully depress the brake pedal and press
the START/STOP button for approximately 2
seconds.
► Keep your foot on the pedal until this
indicator lamp comes on, indicating the
activation of the rechargeable hybrid system
(confirmed by an audible signal).
To exit Park mode, wait for the READY indicator lamp to come on.
By default, the system starts in Electric mode.
Depending on certain parameters (battery
charge level or outside temperature), the system
determines whether it is necessary to start the
petrol engine.
It is possible to change the driving mode at any
time using the mode selector.
When the vehicle starts in electric mode,
it makes no noise.
Pay particular attention to pedestrians and
cyclists who may not hear the vehicle coming
despite the pedestrian horn.
Switching off
► Immobilise the vehicle using the parking
brake.
►

With an
automatic gearbox, ideally select
mode
P or N.
►

Press the "
START/STOP" button.

For rechargeable hybrid vehicles, before
leaving the vehicle, check that the READY


indicator lamp is switched off.

the steering wheel to lock the steering column.
On certain versions with an automatic gearbox
(EAT6/EAT8), the steering column does not lock,
but the gearbox locks in mode P.
If the vehicle is not immobilised, the
engine will not stop.
With the engine off, the braking and
steering assistance systems are also cut
off - risk of loss of control of the vehicle!
Never leave your vehicle with the
electronic key still inside.
Switching on the ignition

With the electronic key in the passenger
compartment, pressing the " START/STOP"
button, without depressing any of the pedals ,
allows the ignition to be switched on without
starting the engine.

to enable the engine to be started if the system
fails to detect the key in the recognition zone, or
if the battery in the electronic key is flat.
