Driving
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.
Switching off the engine leads to a loss of
braking assistance.
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the key
or the remote control, which would weigh
down on its blade in the ignition switch
and could cause a malfunction.
Starting the engine
Parking brake applied:
F With a manual gearbox, place the gear
lever in neutral then depress the clutch
pedal fully.
F With an automatic gearbox, place the gear
selector in mode N or P then depress the
brake pedal fully.
F Insert the key into the ignition switch; the
system recognises the code.
F Unlock the steering column by
simultaneously turning the steering and the
key.
In certain cases, you may have to apply
significant force to move the steering
wheel (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 petrol engines, after a cold start,
preheating the catalytic converter can
cause clearly-felt engine vibrations when
stationary, with the engine running, for
anything up to two minutes (accelerated
idle speed).
F With a Diesel engine, turn the key to
position 2, ignition on, to operate the engine
pre-heating system.
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.
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 temperate conditions, do not let the
engine idle to warm up but move off
straight away and drive at moderate
speed.
