Starting / Switching Off The Engine With The Key - PEUGEOT 3008 2015 Handbook

Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic chip which has
a secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
A few seconds after switching off the ignition,
this system locks the engine control system,
therefore preventing the engine from being
started in the event of a break-in.
If the system fails, as reported by a message,
the engine will not start.
Contact the PEUGEOT dealer.
Starting / Switching off
the engine with the key
Key starter
It has 3 positions:
- position 1 (Stop): inserting and removing
the key, steering column locked,
- position 2 (Ignition on): steering column
unlocked, ignition on, diesel preheating,
engine running,
- position 3 (Starting).
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.
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.
Switching off the engine leads to a loss of
braking assistance.
Starting the engine
Parking brake applied:
F With a manual gearbox in neutral, fully
depress the clutch pedal.
F With an automatic gearbox, in mode N or
P, fully depress the brake pedal.
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.
