Starting/switching off the
engine
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip which has
a secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised to enable
engine start.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a moment after
the ignition is switched off, and prevents
unauthorised engine starting.In the event of a fault, you are
informed by illumination of this
warning lamp, an audible signal and
a message in the screen.
In this case, your vehicle will not start; contact
a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
Key ignition switch
Ignition on position
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric
equipment or portable devices to be charged.
Once the state of charge of the battery drops
to the reser ve level, the system switches to
energy economy mode: the power supply is
cut off automatically to preser ve the remaining
battery charge. Avoid attaching heavy objects to the key
or the remote control, which would weigh
down on its blade in the ignition switch
and could cause a malfunction.
Starting the engine
The parking brake must be applied.

F

W
ith a Diesel engine, turn the key to
position 2 , ignition on, to operate the engine
pre-heating system.
Wait until this warning lamp goes off
in the instrument panel then operate
the starter motor by turning the key
to position 3 without pressing the
accelerator pedal until the engine
starts. Once the engine is running,
release the key.
In wintry conditions, the warning lamp can
stay on for a longer period. If the engine is
hot, the warning lamp does not come on.
If the engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition. Wait a few moments
before operating the starter motor again.
If the engine does not start after several
attempts, do not keep trying: you risk
damaging the starter motor or the engine.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop. In temperate conditions, do not leave
the engine at idle to warm up but move
off straight away and drive at moderate
speed.
Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion engines
emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon
monoxide. Risk of intoxication and death.
In severe wintry conditions (temperature
below -23°C), the engine should be left
at idle for 4
minutes before moving off to
ensure the correct operation and life of the
mechanical parts of your vehicle, engine
and gearbox.

This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).
Stopping the vehicle
Malfunction
When the ignition is on, the lighting
of this warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message
in the screen, indicates a gearbox
fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel a
substantial jolt when changing from P to R and
from N to R. This will not cause any damage to
the gearbox. There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
-

i
f you press the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time,
-
i
f you force the movement of the
selector from position P to another
position when the battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when at
a prolonged standstill with the engine
running (traffic jam, etc.), put the
selector in the N position and apply the
parking brake.
D disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succession in
the instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the
selected gear flashes for a few seconds, then
the actual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M (manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox engages first gear
automatically.
The sport and snow programmes are
inactive in manual operation.
Before switching off the engine, you can engage
position P or N to place the gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to keep
the vehicle stationary.
If the selector is not in position P , when the
driver's door is opened or approximately
45
seconds after the ignition is switched
off, a warning message appears on the
screen.
F

R
eturn the selector to position P ; the
message disappears.
When driving on flooded roads or when
crossing a ford, proceed at walking pace. Do not exceed around 60
mph (100 km/h), local
speed restrictions permitting.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.

of explosion!
If the battery has frozen, have it checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer or by a qualified
workshop who will check that the internal
components have not been damaged and
that the container has not cracked, which
would mean a risk of toxic and corrosive
acid leaking.
Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state
of charge for starting the engine, it is
recommended that the battery be disconnected
if the vehicle is taken out of ser vice for a long
period.
Before disconnecting the battery:
