Confidential card This contains the identification combination which is required ifany work is carried out on the
system by a PEUGEOT dealer.This combination is concealed bya strip which must not be removedunless required. Keep your card in a safe place, never in your vehicle.
ELECTRONIC ENGINEIMMOBILISER This locks the engine control system a few moments after the
ignition has been switched off andtherefore prevents starting of thevehicle by anyone who has not
got the key.
Operation Each key has an electronic chip which has a special code. When the ignition is switched on the key code is recognised andstarting is possible. If the key does not have a code
or has a different code from that
stored in the system memory, thevehicle will not start. Additional key
You can store up to 5 keys in the
memory. If you require an additional key or
wish to change a faulty key, you
must visit a PEUGEOT dealerwith the confidential card and allthe keys in your possession.
When buying a second hand car: ensure that you are given the confidential card: it is advisable to have the key codes memorised by a PEUGEOT dealer toensure that the keys in your possession are the only ones which
can start the vehicle. Do not make any modifications to the PEUGEOT electronic engine immobiliser system.
