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 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 Start 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.
Key recognition zones:


Zone A: welcome lighting on approaching
the vehicle (between 2 and 5 metres from the
vehicle). Zone B: automatic locking on moving away from
the vehicle (about 2
metres from the vehicle).
Zone C: automatic unlocking on approaching
the vehicle (between 1 and 2 metres from the
vehicle).
Automatic functions are configured in the Settings > Vehicle touch screen
application.
Unlocking the vehicle

activated.
►

Or by gently pressing the driver's door handle
or the button on the boot.

on version), is confirmed by the flashing of the
direction indicators and lighting of the daytime
running lamps. CarM an uals 2 .c o m
