Starting The Vehicle - PEUGEOT RCZ Handbook

IGNITION SWITCH
ELECTRONIC ENGINE IMMOBILISER
The key contains an electronic chip which has a special code. When
the ignition is switched on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
A few minutes after the ignition is switched off, this electronic engine
immobiliser locks the engine management system and prevents starting
of the engine by anyone who does not have the key.
In the event of a malfunction, you are informed by lighting of this
warning lamp, an audible signal and a message on the screen.
In this case, your vehicle does not start; contact a PEUGEOT
dealer as soon as possible.
