Access
At your request, the dealer network can
deactivate this selectivity of opening
between the cab and the load space; contact
a PEUGEOT dealer.

REMOTE CONTROL

This is confirmed by fixed lighting of the
direction indicators for approximately
two seconds.

ACCESS


Unlocking the cab

Press this button once to unlock
your vehicle's cab.
The direction indicators flash
twice.
Press this button a second time to unlock
the side door(s) and the rear doors.
This selective door locking function is active
when the vehicle is delivered.

Unlocking the load space

Press this button to unlock all of
the rear doors.
This separation of the locking
of the cab and load space is an
operating security feature. It enables you
to prevent access to the part of the vehicle
from which you are absent.


Central locking

Press this button to lock your
vehicle, cab and rear doors.
The direction indicators flash
once.
If one of the front doors is open or is not
closed correctly, the central locking will not
work.


Deadlocking

If your vehicle is fitted with deadlocking,
a second press
on the closed padlock on
the remote control within five seconds after
locking changes the locking to deadlocking. Deadlocking renders the exterior and interior
door opening handles inoperative: do not
leave anyone inside the vehicle when it is
deadlocked.
If deadlocking is activated from inside the
vehicle, it will change to normal locking
when the vehicle is started.


Folding / unfolding the key

Press this button to release the
key from its housing.
To fold the key, press the
chromed button then fold the key
into the housing. If you do not press the
button, the mechanism may be damaged.


Good practice

Take care not to allow the remote control to
come into contact with grease, dust, rain or
a damp environment.
A heavy object attached to the key (key
ring, ...) weighing on the shaft of the key in
the switch, may cause a malfunction.

KEY

This locks and unlocks the doors on the
vehicle, opens and closes the fuel filler cap,
as well as starting and stopping the engine.
REMOTE CONTROL ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER

All of the keys contain an electronic
immobiliser device.
This device locks the engine supply system.
It is activated automatically when the key is
removed from the ignition.
After the ignition is switched on, a dialogue
is established between the key and the
electronic immobiliser system.
The metal part of the key must be unfolded
correctly for correct dialogue to take place.


Reinitialising the remote control

Following changing of the remote control
battery or disconnection of the vehicle battery,
the remote control may have to be reinitialised.
Wait at least one minute before using the remote
control.
Insert the key in the ignition switch with the buttons
(padlocks) of the remote control facing you. Switch on the ignition.
Press the locking padlock for at least
five seconds within the next ten seconds.
Switch off the ignition.
Wait at least one minute before using the
remote control.
The remote control is now working again.
There is a risk of damage if the replacement
battery is not the correct type.
Use only identical batteries or batteries of an
equivalent type to those recommended by
PEUGEOT dealers.
Do not discard the remote control batteries,
they contain metals which are harmful to the
environment.
Deposit them at a PEUGEOT dealership, or
at an authorised collection point.


Changing the battery

Battery ref.: CR1620 / 3 volts.
The "battery flat" information is given by an
audible signal, accompanied by a message
in the screen.
To replace the battery, unclip the casing
using a coin at the ring.
If the remote control does not work after the
battery has been changed, reinitialise the
remote control.
If you lose your keys
Visit a PEUGEOT dealer with the
vehicle's V5 registration document and your
identification document.
A PEUGEOT dealer will be able to retrieve
the key code and the transponder code so
that a replacement key can be ordered.

Access
ALARM
If fitted on your vehicle, this provides two
types of protection:


- exterior protection: it sounds if a front/
rear door or the bonnet is opened.

- interior protection: it sounds if
the volume inside the passenger
compartment changes (breaking of
a window or a movement inside the
vehicle).


Good practice

Do not make any modifications to the
electronic immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even when it
is in your pocket, may result in involuntary
unlocking of the doors.
The simultaneous use of other high
frequency equipment (mobile telephones,
domestic alarms…), may interfere with the
operation of the remote control temporarily.
The remote control does not operate while
the key is in the ignition, even if the ignition
is off.
If your vehicle is fitted with a separation
partition, the interior protection is not active
in the load space.

Locking the vehicle with complete
alarm

Setting the alarm



- Switch off the ignition and get out of the
vehicle.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle:



- have the keys memorised by a
PEUGEOT dealer to ensure that the
keys in your possession are the only
ones which can start the vehicle.
- Set the alarm within five minutes of
getting out of the vehicle, by locking or
deadlocking using the remote control.
The red LED, located on the centre
console, flashes once per second.

When leaving the vehicle,
check that the lamps are
