Handbrake, low brake fluid level and fault inElectronic Brake ForceDistribution system
warning light
Linked with the central STOP warning light. Indicates either:
Ð that the handbrake is on or has not been released correctly,
Ð an excessive drop in the brake fluid level (if the light remains lit even with the handbrake released),
Ð a fault in the Electronic Brake Force Distribution system if lit simultane-
ously with the ABS warning light.
Stop immediately.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
A permantly lit warning light or one that flashes, with the engine run-ning, indicates an operating fault inthe relevant unit. Some warninglights may be accompanied by anaudible signal and a message onthe multifunction screen. Do notignore this warning: contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possi-
ble. If the Central STOP warninglight comes on when you are dri-ving, stop immediately where it issafe to do so.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS) warning light This comes on for 3 seconds
each time the ignition is switched on. If the warning light remains on or comes on above 12 km/h, this indi-
cates an ABS malfunction.
However, the vehicle retains conven- tional servo-assisted braking. Lighting of this warning light is accom- panied by an audible signal and themessage "ABS fault" on the multi-
function display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Engine oil pressure warning light
Linked with the central STOP
warning light.
Stop immediately.This warning light indicates either:
Ð insufficient oil pressure,
Ð lack of oil in the lubrication circuit. Top up the oil level.
Ð oil temperature which is too high. Switching on of the warning light is accompanied by an audible signal.
To lower the oil temperature, reduceyour speed.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Coolant temperature and low level warninglight
Linked with the central STOP warning light.
Stop immediately.Allow the engine to cool before top- ping up. The cooling system is pressurised.In the event of breakdown and to pre-
vent the risk of scalding , turn the
cap twice to allow the pressure to drop. Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the level.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Central STOP warning light
Linked with the warning
light for the "engine oil pressure", the "coolant temperature and low levelgauge", the "handbrake", the "brakefluid low level" and ''electronic brakingsystem fault''. Stop immediately if the light is flashing with the engine running.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS31
Hazard warning lights
Press the button, the direction indica- tors flash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
Automatic lighting of hazard warning lights*
When braking in an emergency, depending on the force of decelera-tion, the hazard warning lights come
on automatically. They switch off auto-matically the first time you accelerate.
It is also possible to switch them off by pressing the button.
* According to destination.Total distance recorder Briefly pressing button 1alternates
between the total distance and trip dis- tance displays.
To reset the trip recorder to zero, when it is displayed press and hold the resetbutton for just over 3 seconds.Lighting rheostat With the lights on, press the button to vary the intensity of the lighting on theinstrument panel and the multifunction
display. When the lighting reaches theminimum (or maximum) setting, releasethe button then press it again toincrease (or reduce) the brightness. As soon as the lighting is of the required brightness, release the button.

YOUR 206 CC IN DETAIL89
TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY CON-
TROL (ESP) These systems are linked and comple-
ment the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to prevent the wheels skidding, by actingon the brakes of the drive wheels andon the engine. It also allows the direc-tional stability of the vehicle to beimproved on acceleration. If there is a variation between the tra- jectory followed by the vehicle and that
required by the driver, the ESP systemautomatically acts on the engine andthe brake of one or more wheels, inorder to put the vehicle back oncourse.Disarming the ASR/ESP systems In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in
snow, on soft ground), it may be advis-
able to disarm the ASR and ESP sys-tems, so that the wheels can movefreely and regain grip. 
Press the "ESP OFF" switch, locat-
ed under the steering wheel to the left.
The switch lights up and thewarning light comes on: the
ASR and ESP systems no
longer have any effect on theengine operation.
These are triggered again:  automatically if the ignition is
switched off,
 automatically above 50 km/h,
 manually by pressing the switchagain.
Operation of the ASR and ESPsystems
When one of these two sys-tems is operating, this lightflashes. Operating check
When a malfunction of the sys-tems occurs, the switch lightflashes and the warning lightcomes on, accompanied by anaudible signal and the mes-
sage "ESP/ASR system not opera-
tional" on the multifunction display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to havethe system checked.
The ESP system offersexceptional safety in normaldriving, but this should notencourage the driver to takeextra risks or drive at high
speed. The correct functioning of this sys- tem depends on observation of themanufacturer's recommendationsregarding wheels (tyres and rims),the braking components and theelectronic components, as well asthe PEUGEOT assembly and opera-tion procedures. After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF YOUR VEHICLE
112
TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT etc.
Only use original PEUGEOT tow bars that have been tested andapproved from the design stage of
your vehicle. The tow bar must be fit-
ted by a PEUGEOT dealer. The tow bar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle is basically designed for transporting people and luggage but it
may also be used for towing a trailer. Driving with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle to more significant stress and itsdriver must be particularly careful. Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towing load
must be reduced by 10 % for every
1 000 metres of altitude. Driving advice Distribution of loads:
Distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to the axleand the nose weight approaches themaximum permitted without exceeding it. Cooling: Towing a trailer on a slope
increases the temperature of the coolant. As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependent onthe engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the engine speed, and reduceyour speed. The maximum towing load on a long slope depends on the gradient and theoutside temperature. In all cases, pay attention to the coolant temperature. If the warning light comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine assoon as possible. Tyres:
Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer,observing the recommended pres-sures. Braking: Towing increases the brak-
ing distance. Lights: Check the electrical signalling
on the trailer.Side wind: Take into acount the
increased sensitivity to side wind.
