CHANGING THE REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY
Battery ref.: CR1620/3 volts.
To change the battery, unclip the casing
using a coin at the notch.
REINITIALISATION
Switch off the ignition.
Switch the ignition on again.
Press the remote control locking but-
ton immediately for a few seconds.
Switch off the ignition and remove
the remote control key from the ig-
nition lock. The remote control is
now working again.
If the remote control does not work
after the battery has been changed,
reinitialise the remote control.
ELECTRONIC ENGINE IMMOBILISER
Electronic engine immobiliser
indicator lamp
It is accompanied by a message on
the multi-function screen.
Your vehicle will not start.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
This locks the engine control sys-
tem as soon as the ignition has been
switched off and therefore prevents
starting of the vehicle by anyone who
does not have the key.
The ignition key has an electronic chip
which has a special code. When the ig-
nition is switched on, the code must be
recognised for starting to be possible.
If the system does not function correct-
ly, the following indicator lamp comes on:
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is
a sensitive system; do not operate it
while it is in your pocket as there is a
possibility that it may unlock the vehi-
cle, without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of
your remote control out of range and
out of sight of your vehicle. You run the
risk of stopping it from working and the
remote control would have to be reini-
tialised.
The remote control does not operate
when the key is in the ignition, even
when the ignition is switched off, ex-
cept for reinitialisation.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may
make access to the passenger com-
partment by the emergency services
m o r e d i f fi c u l t i n a n e m e r g e n c y .
As a safety precaution (with children
on board), remove the key from the
ignition when you leave the vehicle,
even for a short time. Lost keys
Visit a PEUGEOT dealer with
the vehicle's V5 registration
d o c u m e n t a n d y o u r p e r s o n a l i d e n t i fi -
cation documents.
The PEUGEOT dealer will be able to re-
trieve the key code and the transponder
code required to order a replacement key.

tions to the electronic engine
immobiliser system; this could
cause malfunctions. CHILD LOCK
This prevents opening of both of the
rear doors from the inside.
With the ignition on, press the button.
A message appears on the multi-func-
tion display.
This system is independent and does
not, in any circumstances, take the
place of the central locking control.
Electric mode
When 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 which can start the vehicle. Do not throw the remote con-
trol batteries away, they contain
metals which are harmful to the
environment.
Take them to an approved col-
lection point.
Always remove the ignition
key when leaving the vehicle,
even for a short time.
It is advisable to check that
the child lock is active each time the
ignition is switched on.
In the event of a serious impact, the
electric child lock is deactivated auto-
matically to permit the exit of the rear
passengers.

Special features of BioFlex
engines
A BioFlex vehicle has been designed
to run on unleaded petrol (RON 95 or
RON 98) or ethanol (this is a mixture
containing 85% ethanol and 15% un-
leaded petrol, called E85).
So, regardless of the quantity of fuel
remaining in your tank and irrespec-
tive of its type (RON 95/RON 98, E85
o r a m i x t u r e o f t h e t w o ) , y o u c a n fi l l
your tank at any time with unleaded
petrol (RON 95 or RON 98) or ethanol
(E85).
There is no problem driving on unlea-
ded petrol only with this vehicle. In winter conditions, star-
ting the engine from cold may
s o m e t i m e s p r o v e d i f fi c u l t .
During these very cold periods
you are advised to use unleaded pet-
rol rather than E85 to ensure optimum
starting conditions.
Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines
The petrol engines are perfectly com-
patible with E10 type petrol biofuels
(containing 10% ethanol), conforming
to European standards EN 228 and
EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85%
ethanol) are reserved exclusively for
vehicles marketed for the use of this
type of fuel (BioFlex vehicles). The
quality of the ethanol must comply with
European standard EN 15293.
For Brazil only, special vehicles are
marketed to run on fuels containing up
to 100% ethanol (E100 type).
Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines
The Diesel engines are perfectly com-
patible with biofuels which conform to
current and future European standards
(Diesel fuel which complies with stan-
dard EN 590 mixed with a biofuel which
complies with standard EN 14214)
available at the pumps (containing up
to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
The B30 biofuel can be used in cer-
tain Diesel engines; however, this use
is subject to strict application of the
special servicing conditions. Consult a
PEUGEOT dealer.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or di-
luted, domestic fuel...) is strictly pro-
hibited (risk of damage to the engine
and fuel system).
