Starting-switching off the engine

Anti-theft protection

Electronic engine immobiliser Ignition switch

The keys contain an electronic chip which has

a special code. When the ignition is switched

on, this code must be recognised for engine

starting to be authorised.

This electronic engine immobiliser locks the

engine management system a few minutes

after the ignition is switched off and prevents

starting of the engine by anyone who does not

have the key.

Ignition on position

It allows the use of the vehicle's electric

equipment or portable devices to be charged.

Once the state of charge of the battery drops

to the reserve level, the system switches to

energy economy mode: the power supply is

cut off automatically to preserve the remaining

battery charge.

It has 3 positions:

In the event of a fault, you are informed

by illumination of this warning lamp, an

audible signal and/or the display of a

In this case, your vehicle will not start;

contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as

possible.

Starting the engine

With the parking brake applied and the gearbox

in neutral or position N or P:

Wait until this warning lamp goes off in the

instrument panel then operate the starter

motor by turning the key to position 3

without pressing the accelerator pedal,

until the engine starts. Once the engine is

running, release the key.

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

intoxication and death.

In very severe wintry conditions

(temperatures below -23°C), to ensure

the correct operation and durability of

the mechanical components of your

vehicle, engine and gearbox, it is

necessary to leave the engine running

for 4 minutes before moving off.

F

depress the clutch pedal fully (manual

gearbox),

or

F

press the brake pedal firmly (electronic or

automatic gearbox),

insert the key into the ignition switch; the

system recognises the code,

unlock the steering column by simultaneously

turning the steering and the key.

In wintry conditions, the warning lamp

can stay on for a longer period. When

the engine is hot, the warning lamp

does not come on.

If the engine does not start straight

away, switch off the ignition. Wait a

few moments before operating the

starter motor again. If the engine does

not start after several attempts, do not

keep trying: you risk damaging the

starter motor or the engine. Contact

a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop.

In certain cases, you may have to apply

more force to the steering (wheels on

full lock, for example).

F

With a petrol engine, operate the starter

motor by turning the key to position 3

without pressing the accelerator pedal,

until the engine starts. Once the engine is

running, release the key.

With a Diesel engine, turn the key to

position 2, ignition on, to operate the

engine pre-heating system.

In temperate conditions, do not leave

the engine at idle to warm up but move

off straight away and drive at moderate

speed.

To lock the steering column, turn the

steering until it locks.

Never switch off the ignition before the

vehicle is at a complete stop. With the

engine off, the braking and steering

assistance systems are also cut off: risk

of loss of control of the vehicle.

For more information, refer to the

"Practical information" section, under

"Energy economy mode".

F

Avoid attaching heavy objects to the

key, which would weigh down on its

blade in the ignition switch and could

cause a malfunction.

To facilitate unlocking of the steering

column, it is recommended that the

wheels be returned to the straight ahead

position before switching off the engine.

When you leave the vehicle, keep the

key with you and lock the vehicle.

F

Check that the parking brake is correctly

applied, particularly on sloping ground.
