Handbrake, low brake fluid and ElectronicBrake Force Distributionsystem fault warning
light
Linked to the central (STOP) warninglight. This indicates one of the following:
Ð that the handbrake is applied or not fully released,
Ð an excessive drop in brake fluid level (if the warning light remains on even when the handbrake isreleased).
Ð a fault in the Electronic Brake Force Distribution system, if lit at
the same time as the ABS warninglight.
You must stop.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
A permanently lit warning light or one flashing, with the engine run-ning, indicates an operating faultof the unit concerned. The illumi-nation of certain warning lightsmay be accompanied by an audi-ble signal and a message on the
multifunction display. Do notignore this warning: consult a
PEUGEOT dealer as soon aspossible.
If the central STOP warning light comes on when you are driving,
stop your vehicle immediately,where it is safe to do so.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) warninglight
This comes on for 3 seconds eachtime 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 accompanied by an audible signaland the message "ABS fault"on the
multifunction display.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Coolant temperature and low coolant level warninglight
Linked to the central (STOP) warninglight.
You must stop.
Wait for the engine to cool before top-ping up the level. The cooling circuit is pressurised.In the event of breakdown and to prevent any risk of burns , unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow thepressure to drop. When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the level.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Central (STOP) warning light Linked to the "engine
oil pressure", "coolant temperature and low coolant level", "handbrake","low brake fluid level" and "electronicbrake force distribution system fault"warning lights.You must stop if the light flasheswith the engine running.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Engine oil pressure and temperature warning light
Linked to the central (STOP) warninglight.
You must stop.
This warning light indicates one ofthe following:
Ð insufficient oil pressure,
Ð a lack of oil in the lubrication cir- cuit. Top up the level.
Ð an oil temperature which is too high. The warning light is acom-
panied by an audible signal. Tolower the oil temperature, reduceyour speed.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.

Ð a cut or slack alternator belt,
Ð an alternator failure.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer. Engine diagnostics warning light
This comes on each time the ignitionis switched on. If it comes on with the engine running, this indicates incorrect operation ofthe injection, ignition or emission con-
trol system. There is a risk of damageto the catalytic converter (petrolengine only).
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Dynamic stability con- trol system (ESP/ASR) warning light
This comes on for a few secondseach time the ignition is switched on. If the warning light remains on or comes on with the engine running, itis accompanied by an audible signaland the message "ESP/ASR not
operational" on the multifunction
display; consult a PEUGEOT dealer. With the engine running and the vehi- cle moving, it flashes when the sys-tem comes into operation (if there is
a difference between the trajectoryfollowed by the vehicle and thatdesired by the driver). It lights permanently when the sys- tem is disarmed.
* According to destination.
Water in diesel filter indicator*
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer as soonas possible. There is a risk of damage to the injection system. Passenger air bag disarming warninglight*
Illumination of this warning light is
accompanied by an audible signaland the message "Passenger air
bag disarmed" on the multifunction
display. If the passenger air bag is disarmed, the warning light comes on when the igni-tion is switched on and it remains on.
Always consult a PEUGEOT dealer if the warning light flashes.
Low fuel level warning light
When this light first comes on, you have enough fuel to drive at least 50 km. The tank capacity is approximately 50 litres. Diesel engine pre-heat warning light
Wait until the warning light goes outbefore starting the engine. If the temperature is high enough, the warning light comes on for less

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP) These systems are linked and com-
plement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to prevent the wheels skidding, byacting on the brakes of the drivewheels and on the engine. It alsoallows the directional stability of thevehicle to be improved on accelera-tion. If there is a variation betweenthe trajectory followed by the vehicle
and that required by the driver, the
ESP system automatically acts onthe engine and the brake of one ormore wheels, in order to put thevehicle back on course.Disarming the ASR/ESPsystems In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground), it may be
advisable to disarm the ASR and
ESP systems, so that the wheels canmove freely and regain grip. 
Press the "ESP OFF" switch,
located 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 onthe engine 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 checkWhen a malfunction of the systems occurs, the switchlight flashes and the warninglight comes on, accompaniedby an audible signal and the
message "ESP/ASR system not ope-
rational" on the multifunction display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to havethe system checked.
The ESP system offers exceptional safety in nor-mal driving, but thisshould not encourage the
driver to take extra risks or drive athigh 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 ope-ration procedures. After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION135
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
fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle is basically designed for transporting people and luggagebut it may also be used for towing a
trailer. Driving with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle to more significantstress and its driver must be particu-larly careful. Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance.Above 1 000 metres, the maximumtowing load must be reduced by
10 % and so on for every 1 000metres of altitude. Driving advice Distribution of loads:
distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heavi- est items are as close as possible tothe axle and the nose weightapproaches the maximum permittedwithout exceeding it. Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope
increases the temperature of the
coolant. As the fan is electricallycontrolled, its cooling capacity is notdependent on the 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 andthe outside temperature. In all cases, pay attention to thecoolant temperature. If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engineas soon 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 sig-
nalling on the trailer.Side wind: take into acount the
increased sensitivity to side wind.
