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.
Anti-theft protection
Do not modify the electronic vehicle
immobiliser, as this might result in
malfunctions.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked could make
it more difficult for the emergency services to
enter the vehicle in an emergency.
As a safety precaution, 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 dealer, to ensure that the keys in your
possession are the only ones able to start the
vehicle.
Emergency procedures
Lost keys, remote control,
electronic key
Go to a dealer with the vehicle’s registration
certificate and your personal identification
documents.
The dealer will be able to retrieve the key code
and the transponder code, enabling a new key to
be ordered.

Wireless smartphone charger



It 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.
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.
With the Keyless Entry and Starting system, the
charger’s operation may be briefly disrupted when
a door is opened or the ignition is switched off.
Charging
►  With the charging area clear, place a device in
its centre.


When the portable device is detected, the
charger’s indicator lamp lights up green. It
remains lit for the whole time that the battery is
being charged.
The system is not designed to charge
multiple devices simultaneously.


Do not leave any metal objects (coins,
keys, vehicle remote control, etc.) in the
charging area while a device is being charged,
due to the risk of overheating or interrupting
the charging process.
Operating check
The state of the indicator lamp allows the
operation of the charger to be monitored.

82Driving06
The lighting state of the "START/STOP"
button indicates the presence or absence
of the electronic key in the passenger
compartment.
Starting
►  With a manual gearbox, place the gear lever in
neutral and fully depress the clutch pedal.
►  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.
For Diesel engines, when the temperature is below
zero and/or the engine is cold, starting will only
occur once the preheating warning lamp is off.
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.
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.
With petrol engines, after a cold start,
preheating the catalytic converter can
cause noticeable engine vibrations for
anything up to 2 minutes while stationary with
the engine running (accelerated idle speed).
If the engine stalls, release the clutch
pedal and fully depress it again, the
engine will restart automatically.
Switching off
►  Immobilise the vehicle, with the engine at idle.
►  With a manual gearbox, ideally put the gear
lever into neutral.
►  With an automatic gearbox, ideally select
mode P or N.
►  Press the "START/STOP" button..
In some circumstances, it is necessary to turn the
steering wheel to lock the steering column.
If the vehicle is not immobilised, the
engine will not switch off.
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.
Starting/Switching off the
electric motor
Starting
The drive selector must be in mode P.
►  Fully depress the brake pedal and briefly press

satisfied, an audible signal is emitted,
accompanied by the display of a warning
message.
Switching on the ignition
without starting the engine
With the electronic key in the passenger
compartment, pressing the “START/STOP” button,
without pressing any of the pedals, allows the
ignition to be switched on without starting the
engine.
►  Press this button again to switch off the
ignition and allow the vehicle to be locked.
Key not detected
Back-up starting
A back-up reader is fitted to the steering column,
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 discharged.


►  Place and hold the remote control against the
reader.
►  With a manual gearbox, place the gear lever in
neutral, then fully depress the clutch pedal.
