STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE
Starting the engine
The card must be inserted in detection zone 1.
To start:
- depress the brake pedal;
- press button 2. The message READY comes on, on the instrument panel, along with a beep.
The message disappears when the vehicle speed is above approximately 3.1 mph (5 km/h).
Special features
- If any one of the starting conditions is not applied, the message “Apply brake + START” is displayed on the instrument panel.
During a system update via the multimedia system it will not be possible to start the vehicle.
Wait for the update to be completed before starting the vehicle.
For more information on system updates, please refer to the multimedia instructions.
The vehicle can only be started if the charging cord is unplugged from the vehicle.
“Hands-free” starting with the tailgate open
In this case, the card should not be located in the luggage compartment, to prevent the risk of loss.
Accessories function
(switching on the ignition)
Once you have gained access to your vehicle, you may use some of its functions (radio, navigation, wipers, etc.).
To use the other functions, with the card in the passenger compartment, press the 2 button without pressing the pedals.
Operating faults
In certain cases, the hands-free card may not work:
- the card battery is flat, the secondary 12 V battery is discharged, etc.;
- near to appliances operating on the same frequency as the card (monitor, mobile phone, video game, etc.);
- vehicle located in a high electromagnetic radiation zone.
The message “Place card on zone + START” appears on the instrument panel.
Press the brake pedal, then place the 4 card (button side) in the placement area 3 (upper console A or lower console B depending on the vehicle).
Press the 2 button to start the vehicle. The message goes out.
Stopping the engine
The vehicle must be at a standstill.
Press the 2 button: the engine stops, the READY message goes out on the instrument panel and the electronic parking brake is applied.
If the card is no longer in the passenger compartment when you try to switch the engine off, the message “Keycard absent : press/hold START” appears on the instrument panel: press button 2 for longer than two seconds.
With the engine switched off, any accessories being used (radio, etc.) will continue to function for approximately 45 minutes.
When the driver’s door is opened, the accessories stop working.
Never switch off the ignition before the vehicle has stopped completely. Once the engine has stopped, the power-assisted steering and the passive safety devices such as the airbags and pretensioners will no longer operate.
Driver’s responsibility when parking or stopping the vehicle
Never leave an animal, child or adult who is not self-sufficient alone in your vehicle, even for a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves or to others by starting the engine, activating equipment such as the electric windows or locking the doors, for example.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather, please remember that the temperature inside the passenger compartment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
