If either of the doors is open, central locking
is not possible.
The key locks and unlocks the doors, boot
and glove box, unlocks the steering and
switches on the ignition.
Central deadlocking
Locking
Turn the key towards the rear of the vehicle.
Deadlocking
Deadlocking is an additional security device.
When it is operated, it prevents operation of
the interior and exterior door handles.
Holding the key in the lock for one second in
the locking position ensures deadlocking.
Unlocking
Turn tile key towards the front of the vehicle.
Service key
The service key switches on the ignition and
unlocks the doors. It does not operate the
glove box and boot lock which can therefore
remain locked.
Do not forget that the spare wheel is in the
boot.
Remote control
High frequency deadlocking remote
control
This controls the locking or unlocking of the
doors and boot.
The red indicator light 1 indicates that the
batteries are sufficiently charged.
Central locking
Pressing button A once locks or unlocks the
doors and boot.
When locking occurs the indicator lights come
on for approximately two seconds.
Deadlocking
Pressing A and then B deadlocks the vehicle.
Deadlocking closes the windows.
Unlocking
Pressing A unlocks the vehicle.
Changing the remote control batter-
ies
Unclip to gain access to the two batteries.
Battery reference: CR 1620

OPENING AND ACCESS: The doors
Opening from the outside
To unlock either of the front doors, turn the
key or unlock it using the remote control.
Pull the handle towards you.
Opening from the inside
Pull the handle A towards you.
To make opening of the door easier, the window automatically lowers by a few centimetres.
It rises and automatically adjusts itself on closing the door to ensure perfect sealing.
Warning: If the battery is disconnected, the doors can still be opened.
However, it is imperative that the door is not slammed on closing.
Consult your PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
Locking from the inside
To lock the door, tilt forwards button B which
is incorporated in the handle.
To unlock the door, tilt button B backwards
and pull the handle.
Locking the driver and front passenger doors
operates electric central locking when both
doors are closed.

same time as the doors
Turn the key a quarter turn from A towards B
(the key returns to position A).
The boot locking is then controlled by the
remote control or the door locks.
The boot light is controlled by opening the
boot.
Locking or unlocking the boot inde-
pendently of the doors
These operations are only possible using the
main key. If you have to hand your vehicle to
a user to whom you do not wish to allow
access to the boot and the glove box, lock
them beforehand.
To lock the boot independently: lock the seat
backs (see page 75), turn the key a quarter
turn from A towards C (the key returns to
position A).
To revert to simultaneous operation with the
doors: turn the key to position B.
11
Before carrying out any work
which involves disconnection
of the battery, lower the
windows to permit opening
and closing of tile doors.

is fitted with a system which prevents fuel
from reaching the engine.
In order to re-establish the fuel supply, press
the switch.

Fuel quality
Automobiles PEUGEOT try to provide their engines not only with optimum performance coupled
with minimum consumption, but also to ensure long-term performance and driving pleasure.
The quality of the fuel used directly influences these factors. Manufacturers, inciudingAutomobiles
PEUGEOT, have recommended in a specification the characteristics which define the fuels best
suited to current engines.
The use of fuels conforming to the vehicle manufacturers' specification will therefore enable you
to appreciate better the dynamic qualities of your vehicle.
A label fixed to the inside of the filler flap indicates which fuels are authorised and which are
prohibited.
The prohibited fuels are marked with a cross.

UNLEADED FUEL
Motor manufacturer's recommend:
The
catalytic converter
The catalytic converter is a delicate unit.
Pay attention to the instructions below.
Fuel:
- Only use unleaded fuel.
- Fill up as soon as the low fuel warning lamp comes on: driving with too Iowa fuel level can
cause the engine to misfire.
- Never put any additives into the engine oil: this can cause considerable damage to the catalytic
converter.
- Only use fuel additives recommended by the manufacturer.
Driving:
Starting from cold:
- Avoid successive cold starts where possible.
- Do not rev the engine.
While driving:
- Do not rev the engine just before switching off the ignition.
- Avoid parking or driving on easily inflammable materials such as dry leaves and/or dry grass ...
If you notice ...
- Starting difficulties, DO NOT PERSIST, consult your PEUGEOT dealer.
- Misfiring or a loss of power: reduce your speed and have your vehicle checked as quickly as
possible.
- Excessive noise: have the exhaust system checked.
