Remote control

The remote control is a sensitive,

highfrequency 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.

(Depending on version)

This is a Keyless Entry and Start system.

It enables automatic vehicle locking/unlocking

simply by detecting the electronic key.

As long as the driver has the electronic key

on their person, the vehicle unlocks as they

approach and locks when they walk away.

Key recognition zones:

Selective unlocking (driver’s door,

boot) is configured in the Settings >

Vehicle touch screen application.

Anti-theft protection

Do not modify the electronic vehicle

immobiliser, as this might result in

malfunctions.

Complete unlocking

The vehicle (doors and boot) unlocks:

► Either automatically as the driver approaches

in zone C, if the automatic functions are

activated.

Locking the vehicle

► Or by gently pressing the driver's door handle

or the button on the boot.

Driving with the doors locked could make

it more difficult for the emergency services

to enter the passenger compartment in an

emergency.

As a safety precaution, remove the key from

the ignition or take the electronic key with you

when leaving the vehicle, even for a short

time.

Unlocking, and alarm deactivation (depending

on version), is confirmed by the flashing of the

direction indicators and lighting of the daytime

running lamps.

Zone A: welcome lighting on approaching the

vehicle (between 2 and 5 metres from the

vehicle).

Zone B: automatic locking on moving away from

the vehicle (about 2 metres from the vehicle).

Zone C: automatic unlocking on approaching

the vehicle (between 1 and 2 metres from the

vehicle).

Depending on version, the door mirrors unfold.

If the electronic key remains around the

vehicle (zones A, B or C) for more than

15 minutes without action, the automatic

functions are deactivated. To unlock or lock

the vehicle, use the remote control or press

the driver's door handle.

If using the door handle does not lock/unlock

the vehicle, bring the electronic key closer

and repeat the desired action.

Purchasing a second-hand vehicle

Have the key codes memorised by a

PEUGEOT dealer, to ensure that the keys in

your possession are the only ones able to

start the vehicle.

Automatic functions are configured in

the Settings > Vehicle touch screen

application.
