Access and starting - 51
ELECTRONIC ENGINE
IMMOBILISER
This locks the engine control system
as soon as the ignition has been
switched off and therefore prevents
starting of the vehicle by anyone who
does not have the key.
The ignition key has an electronic chip
which has a special code. When the
ignition is switched on, the code must
be recognised for the vehicle to start.
If the system does not function cor-
rectly, the electronic engine immobi-
liser warning light, situated in the centre
of the fascia, lashes rapidly when the
ignition is switched on (2nd notch). In
this case your vehicle will not start.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
CONFIDENTIAL CARD
This is given to you on delivery of
your vehicle with the duplicate keys.
Make a careful note of the
number of each key. This
number is coded on the la-
bel attached to the key.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons
of your remote control out of range of
your vehicle.
You run the risk of stopping it from
working and the remote control
would have to be reprogrammed.
When purchasing a second-hand
vehicle:
- ensure that you are given the coni-
dential card;
It contains the identiication code
necessary for any work carried out
by a PEUGEOT dealer on the elec-
tronic immobiliser system. This code
is hidden by a ilm, which should be
removed only if necessary.
Keep your card in a safe place,
never inside the vehicle.
When undertaking a long trip or jour-
ney, however, it is advisable to take
it with you along with your personal
papers.
If the keys are lost, your
PEUGEOT dealer can rapidly supply
you with new keys.
The high frequency remote control is
a sensitive system; do not operate it
while it is in your pocket as there is a
possibility that it may unlock the vehi-
cle, without you being aware of it.
The remote control does not operate
when the key is in the ignition, even
when the ignition is switched off, ex-
cept for reprogramming.
Driving with the doors locked may
make access to the passenger com-
partment by the emergency services
more dificult in an emergency.
- 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.
Do not make any modiications to
the electronic engine immobiliser
system.
As a safety precaution (with children
on board), remove the key from the
ignition when you leave the vehicle,
even for a short time.
