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 “hands-free” 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:

- if the “hands-free” card battery is flat, 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 close START and push” appears on the instrument panel.

Press the brake or clutch pedal, then place the “hands-free” card 3 (logo side) against the start button 2 during approximately two seconds. Press the 2 button to start the vehicle. The message goes out.

Conditions for stopping the engine

The vehicle must be stationary, with the lever positioned in P for vehicles with an automatic gearbox.

With the “hands-free” card in the vehicle, press the 2 button: the engine stops. The steering column is locked when the driver’s door is opened or the vehicle is locked.

If the card is no longer in the passenger compartment or if the card’s battery is flat, when the vehicle is stationary and you try to switch the engine off, the message “No keycard Press and hold START” appears on the instrument panel: press the 2 button for longer than three seconds. If the card is no longer in the passenger compartment, make sure you can retrieve it before pressing and holding the button. Without the ”hands-free” card, you will not be able to restart the vehicle.

With the engine switched off, any accessories being used (radio, etc.) will continue to function for approximately 10 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 brake servo, power-assisted steering, etc., and the passive safety devices such as the airbags and pretensioners will no longer operate.

When you leave your vehicle, especially if you have your “hands-free” card with you, check that the engine is completely switched off.
