Unlocking Pull on the handle and press the but- ton to release the handbrake.Illumination of this light,accompanied by an audiblesignal and the message"Handbrake on" on the
multifunction display, indi-
cates that the handbrake is still on orhas not been properly released.
Operating abnormality Any operating abnormality is indica- ted by an audible signal accompa-nied by the message "Automatic
gearbox faulty" on the multi-func-
tion display and flashing of the Sportand Snow warning lights on the ins-trument panel. In this situation the gearbox operates in downgrade mode (locked in 3rd
gear). You may feel a substantialknock when changing from Pto R
and from Nto R(this will not cause
any damage to the gearbox). Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), speed restrictions permitting.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible. Illumination of this warninglight comes on, accompa-nied by an audible signaland the message
"Braking
fault" , indicates that there is
a malfunction of the electronic brakeforce distribution, which can cause aloss of control of the vehicle whenbraking.
Stop immediately.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
HANDBRAKE Locking Pull the handbrake to immobilise your vehicle.
Warning:
when parking on a slope,
direct your wheels towards the pave- ment and pull the handbrake.
ABS ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
The ABS with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBFD) increases thestability and manoevrability of yourvehicle, particularly on poor or slip-pery road surfaces. Note: when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are approved. The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically whenthere is a risk of wheel lock.

If the battery is flat and the lever is in position
P, it
will be impossible tochange to another posi-tion.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibrationsof the brake pedal. In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasingthe pressure.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system enables the optimum braking pressure to be
reached more quickly, thus reducingthe stopping distance. It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is activated, the effect ofwhich is a reduction in the resistance ofthe pedal and an increase in braking
efficiency.

CHECKS Battery
At the start of winter, have your bat-
tery checked by a PEUGEOT dealer. Air filter and pollen filter Have the filter elements replaced
regularly. If you drive in dusty
conditions, change them twice asoften. Brake pads Brake pad wear depends on the style of driving, in particular forvehicles which are used in town,over short distances. It may benecessary to check the thickness ofthe pads, even between services. Handbrake Where the handbrake travel is too great or there is a reduction in theperformance of the system, thehandbrake should be adjusted, evenbetween services. Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer. Manual gearbox This does not need an oil change. Check the level, according to themanufacturer's servicing schedule. Automatic gearbox* This does not need an oil change. Have the level checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer, according to themanufacturer's servicing schedule. Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accor- dance with the servicing schedule.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL) If you should run out of fuel, it is necessary to re-prime* the circuit: 2 litre HDI engine
- fill the fuel tank with at least five
litres of diesel,
- operate the manual re-priming pump, until you feel resistance during the manoeuvre,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.
1.4 litre HDI engine
- fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of diesel,
- operate the manual re-priming pump, until fuel appears in the transparent pipe under the bonnet,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.
* According to specification.

CHANGING A WHEEL Parking the vehicle Park the vehicle on level, stable and non-slippery ground.
Apply the handbrake, engagefirst or reverse gear (position P
for the automatic gearbox) and
switch off the ignition.
Access to the spare wheeland the jack in the boot Lift the floor using the handle and secure it by hooking the cords tothe hooks of the parcel shelf. Tools The following tools are located in a polystyrene holder in the centre ofthe spare wheel: 1 -
Wheelbrace.
2 - Centralising tool.
3 - Removable chock.
4 - Jack with handle.
5 - Removable towing eye.
6 - Alloy wheel bolt trim remover*. Removing the wheel
Place the holder and chock 3(or
chock 3on its own if necessary)
under the wheel diagonally oppo- site to the one to be changed.
Remove the trim*, using thewheelbrace 1, pulling at the valve
passage hole.
Loosen the wheel bolts (forvehicles fitted with alloy wheels,remove the chrome trim first; seeparagraph on "Special featuresof alloy wheels").
* According to specification.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION 101

TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
Without lifting (4 wheels on the road)
You should always use a tow bar. The towing eye is inside the spare wheel. From the front : Unclip the cover, by pressing the bottom part,
Screw in the towing eye as far as it will go.
From the rear : Unclip the top of the cover using a coin,
Screw in the towing eye as far as it will go.
Lifting (2 wheels only on the road) It is preferable to raise the vehicle with a professional lifting device. Special features of the automatic gearbox When towing with four wheels on the ground, the following rules must beobeyed:
- lever in position
N,
- tow the vehicle at less than 30 mph (50 km/h) over a maximum distan- ce of 30 miles (50 km).
- do not add oil to the gearbox.

When towing with the engine switched off, thereis no braking assistance.

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.
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 significantstress and its driver must be particu-larly careful. Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance. The maximum towing load must be reduced by 10% for every 1000 metresof altitude.Driving advice Distribution of loads Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as pos-sible to the 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 electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependenton 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 climb depends on the incline and theexterior temperature. In all cases pay attention to the coolant 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, observing the recom-mended pressures. Braking
Towing increases the braking distance. Lights Check the electrical signalling on the
trailer. Side wind
Take into acount the increased sen- sitivity to side wind.
