51 - Access and starting ELECTRONIC ENGINE IMMOBILISER This locks the engine control sys- tem 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. CONFIDENTIAL CARD This is given to you on delivery of your vehicle with the duplicate keys. It contains the identification code necessary for any work carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer on the elec- tronic immobiliser system. This code is hidden by a film, 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. Make a careful note of the number of each key. This number is coded on the la- bel attached to the key. 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, except for reprogramming. Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger com- partment by the emergency services more difficult in an emergency. As a safety precaution (with children on board), remove the key from the ignition when you leave the vehicle, even for a short time. 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 ve- hicle: - ensure that you are given the confi- dential card; - 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 modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system. If the system does not function cor- rectly, the electronic engine immobi- liser warning light, situated in the centre of the fascia, flashes 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. |
