Driving with the doors locked
may make access to the pas-
senger compartment by the
emergency services more
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 chil-
dren on board), remove the ignition
key when you leave the vehicle,
even for a short time.
Do not repeatedly press the button
of your remote control out of range
and out of sight of your vehicle. You
run the risk of stopping it from wor-
king and the remote control would
have to be reprogrammed.
When purchasing a second-hand ve-
hicle, 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.
