The warning lamp does not come on if
the engine is already warm. In some
climatic conditions, the following
recommendations should be followed:
– In mild conditions, do not leave the engine
at idle to warm up but move off straight away
and drive at moderate speed.
Electronic immobiliser
The remote control contains an electronic chip
which has a special code. When the ignition is
switched on, this code must be recognised in
order for starting to be possible.
A few seconds after switching off the ignition,
this system locks the engine control system,
therefore preventing the engine from being
started in the event of a break-in.
– Depending on version, if the air
conditioning is activated and the exterior
temperature exceeds 35 °C, the engine’s
idle speed may increase, up to 1,300 rpm,
depending on the cooling requirements.
– In wintry conditions, the pre-heater warning
lamp will stay on for a longer period after
switching on the ignition; wait until it goes off
before starting.
In the event of a fault, you are informed
by illumination of this warning lamp, an
audible signal and a message on the screen.
The vehicle will not start; contact a PEUGEOT
dealer as soon as possible.

Starting/switching off the
engine
– In very severe wintry
conditions (temperature below -23 °C), to
ensure correct operation and durability of your
vehicle’s mechanical components (engine
and gearbox), leave the engine running for
4 minutes before moving off.
In certain circumstances, you may have
to turn the steering wheel firmly to move
the wheels (if the wheels are against a kerb,
for example).
Starting
The parking brake must be applied.
► With a manual gearbox, place the gear
lever in neutral, fully depress the clutch pedal
and keep the pedal down until the engine starts.
► With an automatic gearbox, place the
selector in position P then depress the brake
pedal.
Never leave the engine running in an
enclosed area without adequate ventilation:
internal combustion engines emit toxic
exhaust gases, such as carbon monoxide.
Danger of poisoning and death!
► Turn the key to position 2, Ignition On, to
activate the engine pre-heating system.
► Wait until this warning lamp goes off in
the instrument panel, then turn the key to
