Handbrake, low brake fluid level and fault inElectronic BrakeForce Distributionsystem warning light
Linked with the central STOP warning light. Indicates either:
- that the handbrake is on or has not been released correctly,
- an excessive drop in the brake fluid level (if the light remains lit even with the handbrakereleased),
- a fault in the Electronic Brake Force Distribution system if lit
simultaneously with the ABS warn-ing light.
Stop immediately.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
A permantly lit warning light or one that flashes, with the enginerunning, indicates an operatingfault in the relevant unit. Somewarning lights may be accompa-nied by an audible signal and amessage on the multifunctionscreen. Do not ignore this warning: contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as
possible. If the Central STOPwarning light comes on when youare driving, stop immediatelywhere it is safe 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 7 mph (12 km/h),
this indicates an ABS malfunction.
However, the vehicle retains con- ventional servo-assisted braking. Lighting of this warning light is accompanied by an audible signaland the message "ABS fault"on
the multifunction display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Engine oil pressure warning light Linked with the central
STOP warning light.
Stop immediately.This warning light indicates either:
- insufficient oil pressure,
- lack of oil in the lubrication circuit. Top up the oil level.
- oil temperature which is too high. Switching on of the warning light is accompanied by an audible signal.
To lower the oil temperature,reduce your speed.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Coolant temperature and low level warninglight
Linked with the central STOP warn- ing light.
Stop immediately.Allow the engine to cool before top- ping up. The cooling system is pressurised.In the event of breakdown and to prevent the risk of scalding , turn
the cap twice to allow the pressureto 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 warn-
ing light for the "engine oil pressure", the "coolant temperature and lowlevel gauge", the "handbrake", the"brake fluid low level" and ''electro-nic braking system fault''. Stop immediately if the light is flashing with the engine running.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS
Press the button, the direction indi- cators 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 offautomatically the first time youaccelerate.
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 distance displays.
To reset the trip recorder to zero, when it is displayed press and holdthe reset button for just over 3 sec-onds. Lighting rheostat With the lights on, press the button to vary the intensity of the lighting ofthe instruments and controls. Whenthe lighting reaches the minimum (ormaximum) setting, release the but-ton then press it again to increase(or reduce) the brightness. As soon as the lighting is of the required brightness, release the but-ton.

YOUR 206 CC IN DETAIL91
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibrationsof the brake pedal. In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasingthe pressure. ANTI-LOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM (ABS) AND THEELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCEDISTRIBUTION (EBFD)
The ABS, in conjunction with the electronic brake force distribution,increases the stability and manoe-vrability of your vehicle, particularlyon poor or slippery 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.
When this warning lightcomes on, accompanied bya buzzer and the message"ABS fault" , it indicates
that there is a malfunction of theABS, which can cause a loss ofcontrol of the vehicle when braking.
HANDBRAKE Locking Pull the handbrake to immobilise your vehicle.
Warning:
when parking on a slope,
direct your wheels towards the pavement and pull the handbrake. Unlocking Pull on the handle and press the button to release the handbrake.
Illumination of this warninglight and of the STOPwarning
light, accompanied by an audi-ble signal (while the vehicle is
being driven) and the message "hand-
brake on" on the multi-function display,
indicates that the handbrake is still onor has not been properly released.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system enables the optimum braking pres-
sure to be reached more quickly,thus reducing the stopping distance. It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is activated. The
effect of this is a reduction in theresistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency. In the event of emergency braking, depending on the force of the decel-eration, the hazard warning lights are
switched on automatically. They are
switched off automatically on accel-eration.
When this warning lightcomes on, connected to the
STOP and ABS warning
lights, accompanied by a
buzzer and the message "Braking
fault" , it indicates that there is a mal-
function of the electronic brake forcedistribution, which can cause a loss ofcontrol of the vehicle when braking.
Stop immediately.In both cases, consult a Peugeot
dealer.

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, by act-ing on the brakes of the drive wheelsand on the engine. It also allows thedirectional stability of the vehicle tobe improved on acceleration. If there is a variation between the tra- jectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESPsystem automatically acts on theengine and the brake of one or morewheels, in order to put the vehicleback on course. Disarming the ASR/
ESP systems 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 aredisarmed.
These are triggered again:  automatically if the ignition is
switched off,
 manually by pressing the switchagain.
Operation of the ASR and ESPsystems
The warning light flashes if
the ASR or ESP is activated.Operating checkWhen a malfunction of the systems occurs, the switchlight flashes and the warninglight comes on.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to havethe system checked.
The ESP system offers exceptional safety in nor-mal driving, but thisshould not encourage thedriver to take extra 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 andoperation procedures. After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION115
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 primarily 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 beparticularly careful. Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance.Above 1000 metres, the maximumtowing load must be reduced by 10% and so on for every 1000 metres of 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 slope depends on the gradient andthe outside 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 tow-
ing vehicle and of the trailer, observ-ing the recommended pressures. Braking :
Towing increases the braking distance. Lights : Check the electrical signalling on the
trailer. Side wind :
Take into acount the increased sensitivity to side wind.
